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

I love this kit and have been enjoying thoroughly for a year now, however my question is about under seat storage. Is there any type of bolt on storage that you can find to fit with the sub, without having to cut 1/3 of it off?

TIA!

I'm not aware of any other storage from GM, possibly some after market bins though. I took a grinder & cut mine off at the sub, then I cut the very end off of the piece I cut off, matched it to the bin as close as possible, ground & cut it so it fit the best it could, used some 60 second epoxy to attach them together, then caulked the inside and filled the small gaps on the outside with some bronze silicone. I then drilled a hole in the rear lip of the bin and zip tied it to the seat belt tower next to the sub and used the GM supplied mounting bracket for the bin on the drivers side of the rear seat bracket. It took about an hr., but it looks good and tidy all tied together. I can take a pic if you'd like to see, but that was my remedy!

 

P.S. Love the color of your truck! :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

Hey thanks for the info! If it's not too much trouble, yes I'd like a picture of what you did.

 

P.S. Best lookin' color on a truck if I don't say so myself. ;)

I have a complete Kicker VSS for 2014 Double cab for sale. Sub woofer and digital processor. All wires included. Used for 3 months. Sounds great. Highly recommend.

 

I traded my '14 double cab in for a "16 crew cab.

Is that just the sub or with the amp as well?

I just recently purchased and installed the PowerStage(Sound Gate) full system for my 2015 GMC Sierra HD Crew Cab and have a small issue. When ever I start the truck there is the typical 3-4 chimes but now since the PowerStage install the 2nd & 3rd chime is distorted. It’s a small issue but an annoying one and everyone who jumps into my truck always asks what’s wrong with the chime.

Anyone else experience this issue or have any idea why it does this? If i leave the lights on or the key in the ignition to get the continuous dinging it sounds normal. It's only when i start the truck that it is distorted.

Mine does the same thing. I have learned to just live with it. I dont think there is any fix for it. The chimes also get louder than the 1st one or 2.

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      That's good to know, but I don't think I'll even be running them under 45 in the rear  unless it's on the sand or something but will only be for a short distance anyways!    I didn't read all the instructions in the booklet yet, but do you know let's say I set the rear psi on the placard to 45, will the warning light come on soon as it drops under 45 or is there a percentage it has to drop from the set value before the warning light is triggered?

      Would this CV Shaft be bad?

      By newdude · Posted

      That's bad.  Like, its probably destroying the stub axle the CV slides into.   Do you have a proper lift installed with differential lowering brackets?  Did you install AT4/Trail Boss factory CV axles?

      Hot? New Jersey? Today? I was working on my old 2000 Silverado 1500 today. Believe me, it was boiling hot today. As it has been.
