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.

Just saw this, reminded me of how I did my phone mount a couple years ago, still love the location and works great.

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?

      Gas fill door

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
