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.

      Not sure about DFM tech but i know there's a stop/start deactivation button.

      I could be interested if they axed cylinder deactivation and at least have a button for stop start. I’m sure the HP numbers will be higher. I would want a longer warranty to help build confidence. I’m a less is more guy as I get older. A V-8 work truck model would be my choice. I know a few outfitters for custom additions I prefer.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Zane · Posted

      It's official. GMC pulled the covers off the next-gen 2027 Sierra 1500, and we got the first official look. Full breakdown here: https://www.gm-trucks.com/next-gen-2027-gmc-sierra-1500-v8-trim-changes/   The quick hits: SLE and SLT are dead. The new core retail trim is just called "Elevation". Two new V8s, a 5.7L and a 6.6L built with high-performance Corvette architecture roots. No horsepower or torque numbers yet. The 2.7 TurboMax finally ditches the old gearbox and gets the 10-speed automatic. AT4X moves to larger standard 35-inch tires with front and rear e-lockers, Multimatic DSSV dampers, and heavy-duty Jounce Control Dampers. Over 60 inches of combined display on Denali Ultimate and AT4X, complete with a motorized articulating center screen and an adaptive passenger screen. Seven simplified trims across the entire model line to clean up ordering confusion.   So let's get into it: New 5.7L and 6.6L gas V8s with custom active exhaust tuning and a Corvette connection. Is this the exact engine lineup half-ton traditionalists have been begging for? Purging the iconic SLE and SLT names after all these years to lean entirely on Elevation as the high-volume core. Bold move, or a mistake? That motorized articulating 16.3-inch screen that slides up to reveal a hidden dashboard vault. Awesome mechanical theater, or does it make you nervous about long-term durability? Physically lowering the headlamps in the front fascia to improve road courtesy and stop blinding oncoming traffic. Smart real-world engineering, or does it hurt the truck's aggressive stance? What trim are you putting your name down for on day one? Drop your first impressions below.

      My overnight hospital stay turned into five.  I developed a post operative fever and an erratic  heart rate.  A blood clot in the lungs was the culprit.  This is apparently a common post surgical complication and easily remedied.   I was the youngest in a four bed ward and a Doctor with a Geriatric specialization was in charge of my care.  All of the nurses were good and some were outstanding at dealing with old people.  It was very evident that my age triggered a different level of care!  My advice to any senior going for a hospital stay is to have a trusted family member advocate visible.  If not, you will still be well cared for, but you may discover that your voice  isn't as strong as it once was!
