Yeah that was the first thing I checked. I spoke to kicker today and they told me to replace the harness. They won't replace it because of some goofy technicality about them not making it but fortunately I ordered from Amazon. The seller is being helpful.

Well, I finally got a hold of their Customer Service Supervisor. He treated me like gold and took care of everything. Shipped a second harness overnight and I installed it last night. Still playing wi

Funny you asked that I was just thinking the same exact thing!

Yes they are just pulled up to remove. IIRC also the panel between the doors needs to be removed, same thing just pull on it.

Anyone in SEPA have this installed? I would love to take a quick listen. Finally got mine all worked out. It sounds amazing (even maxed volume) but it's not really loud at all.

I suggest going through the grommet on the firewall side with a fish wire, or a coat hanger bent sharply at a 180, as to not tear the grommet. I struggled getting it through from inside the cab, so I did that, then just black-taped the harness wire to the hanger & gently pulled it through the grommet.

You mention that it is not really that loud. What is the audio source ie: Bluetooth, or cd, or flash drive? These stereos stream Bluetooth but drops the db level considerably when streaming Bluetooth audio. I would suggest playing music via CD or a flash memory stick To get full volume.

Anyone installed the sub kit only in a truck with Bose and a 6.2? How do you defeat the noise cancelling feature so it doesn't interfere with the sub?

Good point. Never really crossed my mind. I play 99% of my stuff through bluetooth. I'll have to try to dig up a CD.

On the plus side my others issues seem to still be resolved.

You should be able to. I have a 2015 Silverado 2500 HD LTZ w/Bose, & I did, works great! I do not have the fixed console though, I've heard there is a sub inside that, but I don't know for sure.

yes you can only add the cheaper kit. shopgmcparts has them for 527.. bose has the extra amp already thats why you use this kit

I added the Kicker to my truck today and was very surprised by the added tones and clarity of highs that this added to my truck. Very nice addition for a "stock" appearance.

If you have a 2014+ GMC crew cab do not buy from IAMGMPARTS they are selling part #19303117 for a good price on Amazon at 876.00 bought it on 2-21-16 it arrived very quickly got it unboxed and noticed that it was missing wiring harnesses for the subwoofer portion of install notified them and actually called them and told them what I was missing they were nice and sent me harness from another kit turned out to be what I already had as it was for the head unit to under dash amp/dsp and I notified them back to let them know it's not what I needed, well they tell me that I must not know what I'm doing because everything I need is in box, so I called kicker and told them what I needed and that I will pay for it and they refuse to help me what a mess, fortunately I can return it but it's been a hassle so do not buy from IAMGMPARTS because you will most likely get a kit with missing parts item 19303117. PS kicker will not help you with any issues or warranty if you buy your kit from a GM parts outlet they claim it's OEM and kicker will have no part of it, they only stand behind if it comes from them directly, crutchfield, or a authorized local dealer

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      If everything checks out at the MAF, then the MAF is BAD, new or not.   You don't need a signal generator to troubleshoot this. PCM needs ALL powers and ALL grounds able to light a halogen headlight bulb - if it can light the bulb bright, then the wiring is good enough to run the PCM.   Best thing you can do for yourself is spend some time here: scannerdanner.com - Check out all his YouTube videos on similar issues. If you decide to subscribe it's the best bang-for-buck ratio in the automotive world, hands-down. He's got TONS of free vids on YouTube, too.

      Yes, I used my multimeter to probe all of the wires at the MAF, both with the sensor connected, sensor disconnected, key on engine off, key on engine running, etc etc etc. I probed all of the wires again at the PCM, at the connectors, etc. All voltages are what they should be according to the service manual/wiring diagrams. All grounds are good, less than 20 millivolts from the battery negative under load. Both at the connector of the MAF, at the PCM connector etc.      I know this throws a pretty big wrench into things, but this truck was acting up before the swap. I don't have very much information, if any on what was causing it, but if you cleared all of the dtcs it would do the same thing where it would crank, fire, then die. And it would do the same thing a dozen or so times, and eventually it would start and run, but the difference is that it would run and actually be drivable. Whereas now if you can drive it at all, it goes into reduced power mode almost immediately, and even then it's not running correctly. When you come to a stop at a light it stumbles down to for 500 RPM before catching itself and returning to the smooth idle. And if you go more than about 50% throttle then it immediately goes back to doing the misfire thing.    Like I said, I know that throws a wrench into things, and unfortunately I was not able to pull any data or anything like that before I did this work, so I don't have much to go on.    I'm trying to not fixate on one particular thing as the cause of the problem, but it seems like all avenues are pointing me towards the PCM. Like I said I have tested the wiring extensively (see above), and during cranking the sensor does produce seemingly legitimate values at least according to my multimeter, but as soon as the engine fires those values quickly descend into gibberish. I've tried it with multiple different known working sensors, I have done literally every test I can think of multiple times on the wiring (probing the signals, probing the pins with the sensors unplugged, probing the pins at the PCM, voltage drop, voltage drop under load, continuity, ohms, and double-checking everything against the wiring diagrams/ proper values in the service data.)    Another thing that pushes me towards a possible PCM failure is, I have noticed in troubleshooting a little bit taking a break and coming back, that when I leave the truck to sit for a while and cool off, it starts and runs smoothly when I first start it up. However once it warms up. It starts having problems. For example, when I went out to the truck this morning after it had been sitting overnight, I was actually able to drive it down the block. And then once I got on the throttle a Little bit after going about a thousand ft, it started misfiring again. I pulled it back into the driveway, shut it down, and started it back up. It idled smoothly. As soon as I touched the throttle it did the misfire thing again. From then on as soon as I started it it would misfire. I shut the truck off and went to go get a coffee and do a bit more research. When I came back out I started the truck up and it immediately went into the smooth idle. After a couple of minutes of playing around with it, it would not idle smoothly anymore. Let it sit a couple of hours, rinse and repeat. This makes me think with temperature change something is going wrong inside the PCM. I have the PCM out of the 2007 donor vehicle and I'm thinking of getting a one-day subscription to the ACDelco programming service to try and program that and see if it helps.   Like I said, I'm really trying to not fixate myself on one potential cause, but it seems everything is pointing me towards PCM failure. I would really like to try to confirm that, but unfortunately I don't have an oscilloscope or a signal generator to do the GM service procedure where you feed 5 khz into the signal pin.

      Ahh, sorry about that - I got some bad info. Newdude is correct. That's what I get for working 13 hours straight ... on my "vacation", lol.   Should've checked the files I had instead of the internet.   Anyway ... this is GREAT news, since this would've been an absolute friggin nightmare to get working.   I don't think the lack of VVT is causing this - you've got another issue. Wiring, I'm betting.   I'm telling you right now, your computer isn't bad. If it worked before the swap, it's working now. You need to do some more (better) diagnostics and figure out exactly what you're missing. Did you test every wire directly at the MAF? Have 5V reference? Ground? If you're reading ZERO g/s, your Hz isn't much use - it's going to be the wrong value anyway. The MAF is not working, and you need to find out WHY.   I got this off the net, so VERIFY first: Pin A: Black (BLK) wire, Circuit 552, serves as the Sensor Return (Ground).  Pin B: Tan (TAN) wire, Circuit 472, carries the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) signal.  Pin C: Yellow (YEL) wire, Circuit 492, is the primary MAF Sensor Signal output to the PCM. Pin D: Pink (PNK) wire, Circuit 339 or 539, provides Ignition 1 Voltage (Power).  Pin E: Tan/Black wire, Circuit 552 or similar, often associated with the Intake Air Temperature ground or signal return.  Global-A list: https://postimg.cc/KKJnQC85

      Correct....the end user can't reach to Realtruck directly like they can if they purchase a Bak, Undercover, etc...  It has to go through a dealer.
