Hello people,

I have the Kicker sub-only for sale for the '07-'13 1500, '07-'14 HD crew cabs. I bought this used, it works fine, but it doesn't fit my '15 HD, although GM & Kicker part #'s suggest that. Anyhow, I'm looking to get $400 shipped OBO, to lower 48. Please message me, or you can call 406-439-4276, I'm in Montana.

 

P.S. I'm buying the correct sub & I'll include the new, uninstalled harness with this used unit. Hit me up or call with any ?'s, thanks!...Bob

Do you realize that you're posting this in the 2014+ thread which would also be the wrong part for our trucks? You should post this in the forum for the older body style.

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

So I want the sub amp kit and reading online it says not compatible with Bose OR MYLINK systems. I have an LT with mylink and no Bose. Dealership I called said this was correct. So anyone here install the kicker sub and amp with the 8 inch mylink system and if so, does it work perfectly fine?

I just responded to an older post, didn't even realize the title of thread, nor did I think it'd be a big deal.

There is two kits available. One includes a sub and an external amp, this is the one you will need since you do not have Bose. The other is just a Sub with amp attached to it, which is compatible with Bose and the one i have installed on my Sierra with Bose

It's not a big deal. I was just trying to help you out. Not many people intentionally want to buy the wrong sub, so I was just saying that you'd probably have better luck in the other forum.

To directly answer your question is Yes. If you have an 8" mylink without bose this is the correct system for you.

I just ordered the complete system amp and sub for my 2014 Silverado crew cab LT. I have the 8 inch screen but I do not think I have Bose speakers? Definitely did not have a sub. Is there a way to tell if mine has the Bose system?

 

Anyway, I just tried to install this tonight. It got dark in about an hour so I did not get it completely done, but I hooked everything up real quick just to hear it and nothing is working???

 

I double checked the connections and the fuses and everything seems good. I am hoping this system does not only work with the smaller screen stereos?

Anyone know if this works with the 8 inch screen for sure?

 

Any ideas why it would not be working? I was thinking maybe it is not grounded good enough? I did put the grounds where the instructions said to.

 

Thanks for your help!

It'll have the Bose logo on the speaker grilles.

yes it definitely works with the 8 inch screen. If you had Bose you would have a sub and would say Bose on the grilles of the speaker. double check that all you connections are good, fuses are in holders at batteries ?, ground? Its plug and play so not much could be wrong.

Ok....I need to upgrade my factory non bose system, with this Kicker Sub & Amp combo for the Crew Cab. I believe the correct part number I need is 19303117 for my Crew Cab.

 

Question I have is on the instructions, do they tell you how to get the deck face plate or surrounding trim off, as I am really not wanting to figure that out the hard way and breaking something or some tabs.

 

Another question, for those who paid to have it installed. How long did it take a Audio Shop or Dealer to install, and how much did they charge?

 

 

Thanks!

I don't think you'll have to pull the trim off around the the face plate.

 

I had the dealer install mine, filling the GM Accessories website for price installed. Dealership never did one before mine so it was a learning curve. It took them about 4 hours but I only had to pay for an hour.

Kicker emailed me install instructions. Doesn't look too bad, but you do have to take the trim off around the radio.

Yes the radio comes out because you have to plug in a harness behind it. It's easy enough to do. The biggest pain is fishing the power wires through the firewall

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Does your dealer charge you for the tire rotation on top of the oil change price ?. I haven't had any service work done at my dealer yet other than when I brought it back soon after owning it to have the front end aligned to correct the steering wheel being off center a bit. Oh they called me at least twice hounding me to bring it in for an oil change and pushing a 300.00 package of oil change and tire rotation and whatever other quick simplistic checks they would do. Only going off of what a friend gets charged for his half ton for the basic oil change and its the same amount of oil as the L8T holds, it was about 150.00. Once one buys a set of tires from most shops these days or so I believe, they will do free tire rotations and some do free tire balancing as well as free tire repairs.    Certainly doing a tire rotation is no five minute job, and definitely not at home but because I run a set of winter tires on their own wheels, I swap them at home and its a one tire at a time deal because of the tire season swap although I jack up the rear and do it and drop it back down and then raise the front and do them and coordinate the tire rotation into that process for both sets of tires. I am using a floor jack though and if I need to raise both ends at once I use a couple sets of jack stands to have all four tires off the ground. I use either an air impact or battery impact and have electric impact as well so no shortage there of easy methods to spin the lug nuts, and then retorquing the lug nuts. None of it goes quick though but my wages are cheap though ... zero. I live an hour out of town, its easier just to do things like that myself than waste a bunch of time in town and having to make an appointment and probably a special trip and sit there at the tire shop waiting for them to get my vehicle in and get it done and not screw something up in the process.

      Clunk when coming to a stop... driveshaft/slip yoke? Mechanic couldn't recreate it

      By mrbflat · Posted

      I do have the 8 speed.  Interestingly enough, after driving my truck for the past 2 days now, I have not had the clunking issue at all!  I am beginning to think it may have been suspension/leaf spring related, and somehow when the shop put my truck on the lift to do their initial inspection, it relieved some built up tension/pressure that was causing my problem.  I swear it felt I was a bull rider on a bucking bull the way the truck would almost rock back and forth slightly before the big thud/clunk when coming to a stop.  I am hoping I got lucky here and it's gone for good.

      Bring it to discount tire. They do free rotations even if you didn’t buy your tires there. I didn’t believe it until I tried and they did. You can tip the employee if you would like

      Best part of this video is how it resets expectations. Wonderfully done piece. It also made clear a few points I've made from day one. Detergent oils DO NOT KEEP A MOTOR CLEAN at the recommended or longer change intervals. They just get dirty slower than a non-detergent oil and there isn't spits difference between them on this point if they carry the DEXOS license. Great thing about the license that gets missed is it assures CONFORMITY even it that means a low bar.    One thing he did not talk about that I paused on an magnified was the condition of the oil ring separator. Besides a stuck ring a plugged separator and land drain back is huge when it comes control. We see in short order improvement in control IF that is the problem.    Another item I took exception to and he did not make plain was the condition of the timing chest and under valve cover having something to do with indicating piston cleanliness. Schaeffer's Oil makes that same omission in their million mile Ford video. I'm guessing he has never torn down a Red Line HP, AMSOIL SS motor that has been on that diet from the get. What he showed in the video was a good deal of varnish. Something totally absent in Peppers 165K cover off look. I smiled because he did his at the same milage.    He also makes the mistake of assuming oil temperatures in the pan are the temperature all over the motor even though he makes note of the piston being the hottest part of the engine. that baffled me a bit.    I can tell you from personal experience and witnessing teardowns of family motors that even oils of the 1960's would keep them squeaky clean when OCI's were 1500 to 2000 miles without exception. At 3K and above you get what he experienced and the longer you leave it the quicker to gets to the junkyard.    I think his is missing a opportunity not tearing it down again when he's done killing it. Time would be his only cost.

      GM discontinuing interior parts on a 5YO vehicle??

      By Z45 · Posted

      Very often the part number on the trim part is just for the vendor order/assembly plant and will not show up in the parts system.  They won't make a bunch of extra parts that were not ordered. Keep in mind, lots of these parts were made to be "just in time" parts meaning they were dedicated to a vehicles ordered and sequenced for assembly.       Also, trim parts will often say, paint to match.
