I just wish that the companies like Du-Ha, Husky or OEM's would make some options that would only go 2/3 of the way across for people like me that have a Kicker Soundgate. I know one of the forum members took one and cut it up themselves and was able to custom fit, but I am not hands on enough to do that myself. Currently I am just using a plastic bin to put my stuff in but it just takes up to much room and looks like cr@p. :)

 

Just my opinion.

Do you have the dimensions of the box you used or a link to which one you got?

 

Thanks!

I'd also Ike to know this. Would love to see a pic of this setup if you have one!

what happens if you regularly tow a work trailer and would need a place for all your tools?

This is one of the reasons very few work trailers are gooseneck, atleast in the construction trades your bed is always full of material or tools or small equipment.

Just my opinion.

The husky and and du ha or oem would VERY easily be modified in this manor, could be cut with a jigsaw or reciprocating saw or even a hand saw fairly easily and quickly.

I just installed the Undercover Swing case. Loaded with jumper cables, tie downs, bug spray, and a few tools. It still has room to spare. So far very pleased with my Christmas present.

How much does one of those run you? Curious because I'd have to get 2 for the symmetry of it.... lol.

I believe it was around $160 through RealTruck.com at the time, but that was the Christmas pricing.

I really like the idea of that decked storage locker. Seems like a fairly secure and solid idea and has a fairly large load rating up top.

 

That said, it seems like the drawers aren't that long and you lose so much space. There are other options on the market as well but in general they cost a ton and you are losing a fair amount of space because of the moving parts for the drawer.

 

Personally, I'm going to go with a Diamondback truck cover. They are pretty solid, easy enough to remove when you need the truck bed and allow for secure storage of my firearms when traveling or the like. Plus you don't lose any bed space.

 

Pretty expensive option though and if I didn't have the need to secure firearms I prob wouldn't but last thing you want to worry about is some **** snagging 3k worth of firearms out of your truck while you're in the gas station grabbing a soda or something.

I have a double cab....and have the HUSKY rear seat under storage.....it has all my tools and stuff.....and hopefully wouldn't bounce around as much as a toolbox in the unfortunate event of a rollover.

 

Only tough part is if there is anything on top of the rear seat you have to move it to access any of your tools.

I said the same thing. But ended up getting one anyway (used for $100 locally). Used a dremel and it was a breeze to cut.

Unfortunately I can't get an under seat storage setup because I have three car seats in the back seat lol.

I need something for the bed. I may look into the swing boxes. They seem like a pretty good option

I have 2 Plano power tool storage tool boxes that I got from Menards that I keep under my back seat. I spent quite some time buying and returning tool boxes until I found these that mostly fit under the rear seat of my crew cab. Best thing is if I need the room I can just throw them in the bed and not worry about them sense they are sealed. I keep one for tie downs, jumper cables, and tow strap. And the other has road side emergency items such as gloves, first aid kit, flash light, batteries and items such as that. They are not very big but perfect for what I need.

I picked one up and I cant figure out how you fit this under that back seat. Mine does not fit at all. Do you have a picture of yours under the seat?

I'll get a picture of it however now that I have the floor liner it doesn't fit at all like it used to. Prior to the liner it stuck out like an inch from the seat however it never got in the way of the passengers.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks everyone for the help!   I'm going to stop into the scales one of these days and weigh my axels, for the time being, I am going to run Toyo's recommendations and also do a chalk test. I have a tire shop that's going to try their scanner to reprogram and set the the factory psi values lower, and if they can't I'm going to order a scanner and do it myself!

      Exhaust Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      You won’t do better than stock exhaust without headers. Just put your favorite muffler on it and it will do the job.

      Exhaust Question

      By C. Hart · Posted

      I have seen different people in different places post different sizes of exhaust as stock for my 2014 Sierra L83. Some say 2.5 some say 2.75. I am considering replacing the muffler with a Dynomax Super Turbo, perhaps 17739.  I had the factory L83 5.3 replaced with another L83 5.3 from Jasper Engines. I also put new Walker Cat / Y pipe on. I would appreciate opinions suggestions about what would be a good muffler setup. My main interest is a low rumble and the best flow / fuel mileage I can get. Not interested in straight through glass packs or loud exhaust. Those days are way behind me now.  Thanks Guys.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB 20-NA-166 -  20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"     I'd say its the head, and its either leaking at the casting line and dripping down the intake into the cylinder, or its another spot on the casting itself at the cylinder that is getting wet.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.
