I use a popsocket thin mount stuck to the smooth part on the top left of the radio just to the left of the dash. I can easily glance at it while using my GPS. I have the power cable routed down the side and plugs into the usb for the radio.

Had my phone mounted here.  10’ power/data cable, suction phone holder trimmed down, and was about to put a bolt, washers and nut in to better secure it.  Had I installed the bolt, washers, and nut, it would not have fell out of the pocket during my accident.  Looking at reusing this phone holder if my next truck does not have the brake controller installed.

I see you are also part of the Blue Card Mafia...hehehe..

I use a QuadLock mount with a suction cup attachment to the right side of the radio bezel since I don't have heated seats.
In my BMW, I use one with a power head since I connect to the radio through a bluetooth adapter - it's a 1990, no choice - I keep it original.
I don't need the power head in the truck because I still have to plug the phone in for Apple CarPlay - tried C2Play2Air, it wasn't good.
QuadLock has many options - I have one on my bike, one on my arm band when I run and a few desk mounts with the charging head. All you need is the case and it works with all of the mounts.
For me, it works awesomely!

I was looking at getting a quad lock but I’ve gotten accustomed to using the pop socket. Might change in the future. I do like the versatility of the quad lock and the different mounts and security of each one.

    • Check the windshield washer reservoir bolt. They ALL are loose from the factory. 
    • If one can't be found, a good automotive upholstery shop should be able to replace/sew in a new panel where the damage is on the old cover. It might not be the cheapest option..
    • Does your dealer charge you for the tire rotation on top of the oil change price ?. I haven't had any service work done at my dealer yet other than when I brought it back soon after owning it to have the front end aligned to correct the steering wheel being off center a bit. Oh they called me at least twice hounding me to bring it in for an oil change and pushing a 300.00 package of oil change and tire rotation and whatever other quick simplistic checks they would do. Only going off of what a friend gets charged for his half ton for the basic oil change and its the same amount of oil as the L8T holds, it was about 150.00. Once one buys a set of tires from most shops these days or so I believe, they will do free tire rotations and some do free tire balancing as well as free tire repairs.    Certainly doing a tire rotation is no five minute job, and definitely not at home but because I run a set of winter tires on their own wheels, I swap them at home and its a one tire at a time deal because of the tire season swap although I jack up the rear and do it and drop it back down and then raise the front and do them and coordinate the tire rotation into that process for both sets of tires. I am using a floor jack though and if I need to raise both ends at once I use a couple sets of jack stands to have all four tires off the ground. I use either an air impact or battery impact and have electric impact as well so no shortage there of easy methods to spin the lug nuts, and then retorquing the lug nuts. None of it goes quick though but my wages are cheap though ... zero. I live an hour out of town, its easier just to do things like that myself than waste a bunch of time in town and having to make an appointment and probably a special trip and sit there at the tire shop waiting for them to get my vehicle in and get it done and not screw something up in the process. 
    • I do have the 8 speed.  Interestingly enough, after driving my truck for the past 2 days now, I have not had the clunking issue at all!  I am beginning to think it may have been suspension/leaf spring related, and somehow when the shop put my truck on the lift to do their initial inspection, it relieved some built up tension/pressure that was causing my problem.  I swear it felt I was a bull rider on a bucking bull the way the truck would almost rock back and forth slightly before the big thud/clunk when coming to a stop.  I am hoping I got lucky here and it's gone for good.
    • Bring it to discount tire. They do free rotations even if you didn’t buy your tires there. I didn’t believe it until I tried and they did. You can tip the employee if you would like
