I carry a nalgene style bottle filled with water pretty much everywhere I go but I haven't found a great way to mount the thing anywhere. I usually just toss it in the front seat but when the lady or buddies come along I've got to stuff it in my seat or toss it in the back and hear it roll around.

 

Anyone have any good solutions for this? I've seen some of the cupholder adapters but didn't like that it sticks up so high. Thought about something like this (http://www.basspro.com/YETI-Beverage-Holder/product/1402041044/) since it seems sturdy, not sure the size but I can swing by bass pro and check it out.

 

I'm thinking about something that can hold it below the current cup holders of the front bench folded down. It has that little lock box I could clip over.

 

Anyone else have any creative ideas?

Do you have the towing package? If not you will have that slot open and you could mount a holder to that.

Why are you stuck with a bottle that doesn't fit in a cup holder? do you have a sponsorship deal with nalgene?

 

Get a tervis bottle. stick it in your regular cup holder in the center console or in the door.

problem solved.

I bought two of these adapters from Amazon so that my wife and I can both bring our Nalgenes or Hydroflasks (works with both) with us.

 

I know it looks weird and sits up high, but it hasn't been an issue. When not in use, I put it in the center console to hide it away:

2016 Regular Cab WT. I lay my 32 Oz. Nalgene on its side on top of the cup holder in the driver's door panel. Plenty of room for other necessities under it. Stays put even when I open and close the door and does not rattle. I forget it's there sometimes.

Got more recommendations than I expected. I don't have a sponsorship but I drink a fair amount of water when I'm out and about and I like the ability to keep it filled with me at all times.

 

Thanks peeps.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By Keith179 · Posted

      I’m out of ideas on this truck. 2020 Silverado 1500. 5.3 135,000 miles. Has a p0308 and p050d codes. Smokes From exhaust when cold. Compression test passed. New plugs, wires and coil on cyl 8. Same issue. New coil on 8, no change. Replaced injectors, no change. Bore scope showed oil pooled on the piston after sitting overnight. Pulled head and had machine shop check it out. No cracks. Stem seals looked good, replaced anyways. He also ground valve seats. Put it all back together and still have the same issue. Bore scope shows oil on the piston again. Leaning towards maybe a cracked ring but unsure. Cylinder looked good when the head was off, no scoring or scratches. Any ideas on what else I should look for?  Appreciate the help

      2021 Silverado 2.7L – N232395310 – Can someone with GM dealer access check my VIN?

      By HeronLeal · Posted

      Just want to make sure it is covered by Special Coverage N232395310 Evaporative Emission Purge Pump 2021 Silverado 1500 Custom 2.7L L3B ~100k miles I'm getting DTCs P146B and P146F. VIN 3GCPWBEK2MGxxxxxx   I spoke to a person that works at GM and he said it is not covered after checking my VIN.   Is there anyone here who currently works for a GM/Chevrolet dealership and has access to GM Global Warranty Management / Investigate Vehicle History who could explain how the VIN eligibility is determined?   thank you

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all that information, I might purchase one and see if it will work for me, if not they may let me return it! Yes for sure the tires are definitely within limit for my truck empty, and when I do tow I'll definitely make sure to raise the rear psi for the amount of weight that's going to be on it.

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes exactly, more and more these days people/companies are afraid of liability issues so its easier just to say no rather than risk putting their neck on the line.    I will say with the Autel unit or when I used it last year on my truck, it wasn't like I could choose the 2025 model year or even the 2024 model year as that option was not there to manipulate the placard pressures but had to go back to 2023 or there abouts and then it showed up as an option, odd but that was how the software was then and I can't say one way or the other now as they throw out updates every so often. I still would talk to your tire dealer though to start with and they may do it for nothing but also they may have a comment on a better unit to purchase. All I know is that one of the large tire shops in my area happens to use these Autel units for their use and set them up to use the wifi and all of that jazz for constant updating because each tire tech has one handed to them by the shop but I just plugged it into my laptop to update it and yes if one is bought it has to be registered so you can get the link to do updates and then the unit has to be updated before its even used. I am not at all techy so it took me a bit but anyway just a heads up for anything you buy, most likely it will need to be connected to a computer to access the internet to have it updated to the latest software version before you can put it to use.   If your truck is near empty, those tire pressures you listed are a very safe upper range pressures to carry the weight, both the front and rear as I know they could be run lower yet with an empty truck. And if its a trailer and not some motorcycle your going to strap onto the front of your truck on a rack, you shouldn't have a need to inflate your front tires if your at 55 front already, its the rear ones that would need more air if you have much hitch weight.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thank you, I'll check that Autel scanner out and see if it will work for me! Ya I can see GM's point of view if they lower the psi set value for someone and the person sell's the truck and the new owner puts the factory tires back on then their could be liability issues cause the psi warning light wasn't coming on when the tires were under inflated for towing their load and then it might be able to be traced back to GM lowering it.
