Having owned all the different versions of the Chevy Silverado going back to 1987, I think their is a difference in the factory radios. On the 2014 you have a lot more to play with to tailor the sound. I could not image this set-up on my last two series of trucks. (2009 & 2003). Instead I had some serious equipment in both. I would love to just have some pre-amp outputs for highs, mids & lows and then add my own amps with this front-end. It can be done, but price, return to stock ability and just plain getting older..... I don't need it as much any more. I actually still have a lot of the equipment and speakers and may try updating the speakers. I have a set of ZR series JL Audio speakers and a set of German made MB Quart QSD216 speakers. We'll see in the future.

Well, good thing is, most web places discount it. Of course, they just came out with them "officially" so it may take a bit. I am even more fortunate as I can get it for a WHOLE lot cheaper from Kicker due to working for a company that sells their products.

Yep, pretty much. Kicker did not sell them till they showed them at CES. GM I guess had a lock on it for a bit. It was just put on Kicker's site last week.

Hmm, idk then, maybe I am mistaken. I swore I looked for it on their website last month and they were not there. I know for a fact they were not in the accommodation system until last week.

Ahh, now it makes sense. You had me thinking I was losing my mind. Mine will be here on Friday. Probably will not get to it until Monday though.

Hey LaVaDog did you get just the sub setup or the whole upgrade kit and where did you get it?

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
