Replaced my cubby hole cover plate with the trailer brake cover plate. Then cut out opening for my light switches. Trailer brake cover plate is flatter and accepts switches better with a "factory" lik

I like that trim. Is it wrapped?

Thanks, no it is a process called hydro-dipping. They take a tub of water, then lay the graphics on top of that water. Then they dip the plastic piece into the water and it adheres to the plastic. I'm sure its a little more scientific than that, but that's the simple explanation.

Ahh dipping, looks very good.

I agree but I get why they don't.  I had an aftermarket installed several months ago while my truck was in for service.  We are pretty sure we are going to buy a travel trailer this spring.  If we do buy one, it will be the first time I've needed a brake controller since 1989.  I am guessing there is a lot of people who have factory brake controllers that are never used.  Many like me have pulled a lot of cargo or boat trailers but they either don't require brakes or use a surge control.

Aftermarket backup sensors and light bar controller. I replaced the original with one that didn't have the cubby and custom cut it to fit the switches.

Yeah I am with you, I bet lots of people do not ever have a need for the brake controller and quite frankly the Hopkins controller I have is just about as good as factory, just doesn't look as clean... I just wish GM made it easier to add the OEM controller but, I am nit picking here lol...

I put my phone holder in there, with some modifications to make it fit.  I have a few pictures of it, in progress, but none of it done.  I'll post some complete ones tomorrow or Friday.

      2020 Silverado 1500 8speed gm needs to recall transmission

      By Sdid · Posted

      I have A 2020 1500 5.3 8 speed. LTZ. Transmission problems since 60,000 miles. Started when I go to store in morning to get my morning coffee before work leave truck running get back in put it in drive/ rev no movement step on gas a little slams into gear. Put in neutral step on gas little shake then put in gear and gose.  Shut truck off start .. ok now at stop light stop truck after a few seconds feel a little kick if that doesn’t happen stuck in 3/4 gear shut truck off wait few seconds and start usually ok again. If you down shift manually ok as long as you get into 1st before stop. If not it kicks . I WANT A NEW TRANSMISSION. Now I want a new truck it just hit 80,000 IDK IF ILL BUY CHEVY CAUSE THEY STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM AND REFUSE TO RECALL . Oh I’ve changed the fluid and filter 3 times now. And yes used mobile 1 not ac/delco cause it’s not meeting the requirements that mobile is did use ac/delco filter

      Of course refrain from political debate but I myself have very dismal hope for what is all going on up here every where we turn so I nodded my head when I saw this joke.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage.
