Stinks the 16+ isn't removable. Though I haven't made much use of the space under there.

 

Lost my trailer registration (with updated license plate sticker) in there. Tore the entire garage apart looking for it... and wound up eating another $100 to buy a duplicate from the state.

 

Then one day, cleaning the truck, I popped the cupholder out and ... ta-da! *grumble*

Picked up my '17 AT last week and I almost jerked the whole center console out trying to the cup holder assembly out!! When did they change that? That was a nice hiding spot. My Glock 33 fit perfectly

Stuff does indeed get under there. I went to the post office with three envelopes lying in the area in front of the cup holders. When I got there, there only two envelopes were in that tray.. The e

Yep I had an envelope with $1K cash slide in there. That was about 10 minutes of panic!!!!

On the 16's you would have to replace the whole section of the console where the cupholders are. You open the console lid then starting from there pull up on the plastic working your way to the front of the console where the power ports are located. You would need to replace that entire piece with the one from a 2014/15 to get the removable cupholder.

Agreed I miss that feature. I saw thread where a guy removed the top piece and said it was empty underneath and he fastened it back with velcro so he could remove it easily and use the space. I have not been willing to take a chance on breaking the tabs so i have not taken mine off to look underneath. Volunteers????? I was told by my dealer advisor that there was now hardware in there for the phone charger pad and you could not store anything there? Just do not know? Do all trucks have the wireless charger thing or is it just the higher packages?

 

I took the cupholder out of my 16 to take a peek at the setup and see what my options were.

 

Ended up adding a second cup holder and leaving the original in place. I don't have access to the larger storage but it does help organize the top and hides some items from site in the small storage area

 

I do have the charger and I don't think there is new equipment under there. Looks the same as other years

I got it on eBay. Here is the description. It has some good info in it...

 

 

You are bidding on a brand new OEM center console cupholder assembly for 2015 Chevrolet Silverado LT, LTZ & High Country. The color is black carbon metallic. This fits vehicles with the factory installed full floor console.

 

Please note: During the 2015 model year, GM changed the texture of the rubber around perimeter of the cupholders. This cupholder has a honeycomb pattern on the rubber area surrounding the cupholders. It fits Late build 2015 1500, 2500 & 3500 HD series. If your cupholder has a smooth rubber area, please check my other auctions. Please look at the pictures to make sure you are ordering the correct cupholder for your truck.

 

In order to install this in the center console with another cupholder, you will need to make modifications. Other buyers tell me that if you shave off the vertical ribs, it will fit with another cupholder.

Does yours move around at all? Or once you put it in, it fits solid?

 

I realize you asked Salem but I wanted to tell you that mine stays in place no problem. Occasionally I move it when pressing or pulling on it. All I did was remove the tabs. I anticipated needing felt tape to stop squeaks or hold it in place but no need.

 

BTW what is nice is that it fits perfectly between original cup holder and the cell phone shelves in the front. All of the rubber slots are still expose perfectly

Very cool, thanks. Will have to add this to the ever-expanding list of mods I want to do.

      Is the 6.2L L87 in a 2026 Sierra 1500 ok?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      What meaningful corrections were done to fix the "machining errors?"   I bet nothing, because the 6.2 is soon to be obsolete. Why would GM implement any fix let alone an "expensive one?"   Until someone can provide any convincing information that GM did ANYTHING to correct the engines - the 6.2 is no for me.    Which means keeping the 2016 Denali longer until the next generation (6.6?) proves itself.

      If my father took a Sunday off. We did the Sunday drive. Usually stopping at a Geno’s for dinner that we eat in the car. Six of us with my little sister up front. It was always a Buick growing up. In New Jersey you couldn’t get lost. Not like Texas.

      Some Assembly is Required

      I suppose I am Atlas. It can always be worse, eh?   I had a friend once that rolled one payment into another until he was paying the price of Benz for a 10 year old back marker. Wouldn't be often you start a new payment the month following your old one.

      I still enjoy the drive   Some people fish when they retire; some golf. I drive. We've lived in the same general area now for twenty eight years and I'm still finding at least monthly some sweet quite little road to explore. When I tell the Mrs. I'm heading out for coffee she knows that could be a five hour event. Often she even goes along.    I like finding new rural routes used mainly by the locals that start nowhere in particular and end the same way. Many in the area of that type are narrow paved and twisty, hilly and run through field and timber. Often along creeks or wetlands. Unfarmable areas of great natural beauty.    After years of this type of exploration they start to fit together. One ending a mile or so from another and you start threading together a new path from a unfamiliar place to a new adventure. Sometimes to a little town of under five hundred that used to be something before the Interstate or some railroad or US highway bled the life out of it that has a small dinner with the greatest slice of pie you've eaten since grandma made her last. A little village museum or library or even a town square park with grand old oak, walnut and Osage orange trees to sit under while you sip you gas station coffee and chat up some locals.    Often they are full of stories about the main streets more interesting buildings and the who's who of the area. Sometimes some hidden attraction or unseen history. Our area is full of old coal mines.     A younger self used to do this going cross country by motorcycle. Only a general area as a destination with no time to get there and no time to be back. Sitting at days end in a 10 unit off the main highway motel under a Sycamore tree yacking with the owner or his one semipermanent guest while I adjusted valves or the chain. Always a wave and a shout "Hey there stranger"!  It's how I came by my love of old Brit iron. There is no such things as a ten minute gas stop when your on a Enfield or a vintage Triumph. Same being true of old cars.    If you take the time to really look I've found everywhere is someplace interesting. Illinois or West Virginia. Different and yet the same.    People are in a more relaxed mood and will talk about anything and everything and if they like you there may be a cupp'a or a lemonade and a sandwich in it. 😉
