I have the one with the cubby installed on my 2015 right now. Looking to change it out for the trailer brake one to cut and install some light switches. I have the 4x4 version.

Thanks Steve, I'm not in a hurry at all.  If you find yourself wanting to sell the rubber insert at sometime, let me know  - Mark

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

Max,

 

  If I stumble across the one from my 2015 Silverado, you can have it, just cover S/H.

Well I finally got around to installing my switches in the infamous cubbyhole panel. I took one with the trailer brake control cutout and modded it with a 2” hole to fit the switch pod. Unfortunately I did not have the correct wire sizes to wire up my fuse/relay/power distribution panel over the weekend, but gonna try and knock it out this weekend.

Looks good. I have a trailer brake so going to have to find a different spot to place all my switches. I already have my dixie horn on center console by my leg. Easy to hit with my knee and piss off drivers who cut me off.

Nice. I want to upgrade from jumpseat to full console but can’t afford that right now. Would make life so much easier. Lol

How did you epoxy it?

I used some 2-part epoxy to bond a piece of ABS plastic over the pocket after I cut off the back of the pocket. Then, I sanded it smooth and painted it.

Can you tell what all you used and done to cover that hole up? If I can’t find a blank trailer brake panel, I’m gonna need to do this to mine.

Where can I find the same trailer brake cover plate that you used? I have searched around and can’t find one. I’m wanting to do the same thing and add 2 rocker switches there for my roof light bar and the other for my light bar on my brush guard. I want that factory look like you’ve got yours looking.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.
