This is what it looks like now and future plans after the audio system are to lower it a couple of inches more using drop spindles up front and lowering springs in the rear, upgrading shocks and strut

I added the DeeZee Tailgate assist and I'm in the process of converting the tailgate to automatically drop open remotely from the factory key fob using instructions I found on the forum here

Where do you plan on putting the Amps and Processor?  We don't have a lot of room in our trucks

Amp will go in the lower compartment of the jump seat and the processor will go in the top compartment. IMG_1749.thumb.JPG.fd8ff907fc3483c93c11e96536a71d81.JPG

I was thinking the same thing, putting it in the lower compartment.  Not sure how much airflow these new class D amps need though

I'm gonna cut the bottom and back out of the plastic insert to allow some airflow. I'm still not sure on the sub placement. I just built the one on top of the transmission hump but not sure I want the sub showing so I'm actually working on another design right now for that spot that will fire down.

What's the top picture? 

That's one of the enclosures I built for behind the seat without the face on yet.

Do you know there's a new version of that Alpine restyle kit that has Apple Carplay and Android auto?  No CD player though and a slightly smaller screen so you can use the stock trim bezel

Yes however I wanted this specific one for the DVD/CD player and I like the hdmi capabilities better than the CarPlay which has limited app use (I can mirror anything from my phone as well as have full internet access on screen using the Fire TV stick with mouse/keyboard)

BTW, I decided to keep this and just add the processor.

You make some nice sound boxes, good skill bro!

I am  not good at all with removing delicate trim peices. And things like that. I removed all the interior trim and took the radio physically apart in about 20 minutes   its not hard

The radios are so easy to get apart in these trucks. I wish they designed new Tahoes the same way

Well theres a peice ot trim under the screen   I had to pull that peice ot trim out. Which involved physically taking the screen out and opening it up. And undoing the circuit ribbons.  

 

If I can do that. Anyone can pull trim out in these trucks

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Whoever greenlighted the work truck matte black front bumpers on every trim but the AT4X should be fired!  I was hoping that was an AI mistake, but just realized they were on every model of the 2027 Silverado too.     Some parts of the interior do look premium, but the Denali Ultimate dashboard looks like an afterthought.  At least they appear to have lost the microfiber the high end Silverado models showed, but the '27 High Country dash looks better than the Denali.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.

      No tears over the SLE and SLT trim levels disappearing but I kind of loathe the "Elevation" name. It's a truck--skip the elegance.   The slab-dashboard design is decidedly different. Almost has a Hummer flavor to it. "Professional Grade" seems to be leaning very white-collar, tech-driven these days moreso than blue-collar, functional design.   The Silverado would be my choice between the two new trucks. Pleased with the engine lineup in both. The GMC is a little "too much" for a truck, IMO, and the Denali borders on ridiculous - but I do know there are buyers for luxury trucks out there. It's just not my speed.

      - I like the outside but not as much as the Chevrolet.  They ICE'd the EV styling and it works, but I think exterior goes to Chevy on this one.     - SLE and SLT dead = Not.  Surprising.  Fits into the rest of the GMC lineup like this which (aside from Pro) matches the rest of the family.  Elevation, AT4, Denali.     - Interior.  Sophisticated Malaise era.  Why do I say Malaise?  Drawn with a ruler.  Rectangles everywhere.  Looks very premium though.
