I had one similar to that, but it fell apart after 2 years.  Besides, I like having the second cupholder for whoever is in the truck with me, or for my fries in one and drink in the other.

Sorry for your bad luck on that one...had this one for almost 3 years now without incident, maybe it depends on which of the "clones" one buys...definitely a lot of similar ones out there.

That's the way that I did mine in my '15 LTZ.  Loved it, took some work, but was "easy."  They used a 6' cord to the glovebox USB, but I ran mine to the center console box, 10' cord.

I have a suction mounted iOttie on the front of the cup holder on the center console. Doesn’t interfere with using the cup holder and is right about where my hand is while I drive.

Just wanted to share my cheap cell phone mount. I have a 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali with the removable / relocatable cup holders. The face of the cup holder assembly is smooth and is a good place to mount a suction cup phone holder base like the one I bought from Amazon for a whopping $7.99. And the surprise is that the mount adjusts for height/length and tilt/angle. Seems very stable and holds tight. Best $8 I've spent in a long time.

This is by far my favorite option for my "new" 2015 Sierra. No Android car play or whatever you call it, so I need some sort of mount for nav. I tried a vent mount but the vertical vents leave it too wiggly. The Proclip stuff looks like it is sure to damage the dash over time, or too futsy to retrofit something with wireles charging to it. I will try one of these suction cup mounts, and if the joints are loose I'll put a drop of superglue in each once I find the positiopn I like. Buying the highest rated one on amazon at the moment with wireless charging:

I do wish I could figure out something to mount it higher (like where the dash mounted proclip goes) without having cords running all over or mounting to the windshield. If I could find a cheap replacement dash, I'd buy it, throw it in the garage and drill away on the one in the truck to get it perfect.

Don’t be scared by the price of the mount I used for my install. It’s been like 8,000 miles and it’s still rock solid. It’s gone up a $1 in price but still....9 bucks. Lol

Can't beat that price! I may even be able to get one of my current wireless chargers to work on it as they appear to share the same ball style mount, but not 100% sure about that so I'll just spend the big bucks and get the one that will give me wireless charging capabilities :D

I’ve got an iottie mounted on my windshield in the left hand corner. It doesn’t obstruct the view for me at all. It is a wireless charging one, so I have my cable ran down the A pillar and hardwired in. I also have a tablet mount in my one cup holder. I did the second cup holder mod shortly after getting the truck so I still have 3 empty cup holders available. I use my iPad mini for navigation since the factory GM navigation blows balls.

I just got the iottie easy one touch wireless 2.  Could you tell me how you hardwired a usb cable to the fuse block?  Use something like this? Amazon.com: Pruveeo Dash Cam Hardwire Kit, Mini USB Hard Wire Kit for Dashcam Parking Mode and Motion Detection, Surveillance with 2 Fuse Tap Cable 12V-30V to 5V: Home Audio & Theater

Ah good looking out on the mini usb, glad I hadn't ordered one yet.  10amp fuse suffice to protect it I imagine?

      Fluid Change Questions

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There would be one way of determining the quality of the factory oil although probably more than a typical oil lab test, and that would be to draw out some oil from a new truck and send a sample to a lab that could do a more elaborate test of the oil. The issue with too little oil in the diff may not be the lack of lubrication of the diff bearings and gears themselves ( although a lack of oil volume for cooling ) but the wheel bearings because at some point the oil would be too low to properly get onto the spinning axle or fed along the axle tube. That was the claim by the local dealer from a couple of trucks in recent years that had the wheel bearings fail and they figured from lack of sufficient oil due to a severe underfilled diff and some of the bearing material made its way to the diff and it got damaged as well so the axle housings were just replaced on warranty. But your right that if the diff is over filled by whatever margin that it causes more churning of the oil than is desirable and that is no good either and can cause a pinion seal to leak. Also old oil I believe can tend to loose some of its properties like antifoaming and another good reason to change the diff oil every so often.

      I would be surprised if the diff's were not filled (with the cheapest gear lube) at the axle factory before being shipped to GM.  If you ever watched them building trucks they install the axles and all suspension parts with the frame upside down and then turn it over before its time to install the engine.     Too much gear lube in a axle can be worse than not enough especially with a lower quality GL where is get whipped up with entrained air (foam)  weakening its ability to lubricate.

      This is the 6.6 gasser section of the forum, you should either delete or modify your previous post as it is misleading for anyone looking for factual information on their 6.6 gas engine.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Well....I've done my first intake gasket. Probably wrong, but...we'll see?   Ultra black on the china walls and 1/4" up onto the sides of the intake gaskets. Permatex High Tack (couldn't find Gaskachinch) on the head side of the intake gasket. I read wrong and it says you're supposed to put it on the mating surface of the head, not the gasket. Hoping it's like a PB&J sandwich where it doesn't matter what side the PB goes on so long as there's jelly. That crap is messy/sticky and I got a dab or two on the intake port openings, tried to wipe it off. Hopefully it won't be a big deal and will only aid in sealing.   Per instructions I left the intake (top side) of the gasket dry except for a light smear of RTV around the coolant ports. Wiggling the intake in there was a bear but I had help to free me of surrounding wiring/stuff but I was basically able to set it straight down lined up with the bolt holes.   I did not think to wait until the RTV skinned over but there probably was 5-10 minutes while it sat before installing the intake.   Bolts finger tight first. Then, followed the Chilton's manual pattern to snug them to 15 lb-ft.   Waited a little over an hour, and then did the final torque in sequence again to 35 lb-ft.   Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and got my new "nut and bolt kit" (fuel lines) installed. Damn GM used security torx on the spider, which I don't have, so I got scammed at the local HW store for an off-brand security Torx bit set.   The new driver's door mirror arrived yesterday, so, there's a chance this thing could be running and road legal tomorrow? I don't want to get my hopes up.   This will be my first time stabbing a distributor, too. Although, lucky me, someone else marked the old distributor for removal previously, I did see that. (Someone's been here before!!). Engine is still at TDC so it *should* be just a matter of transferring the mark to the new dizzy and rotating it into place.
