I fiber glassed my own enclosure for the AT4. I learned a lot of useful information if anyone else decides to glass a box in the new series of trucks. I've included a list of materials, goals, lessons

Ron,   You are correct. The Bose amp is behind the rear seat and that is where you will connect for the AT4 and the Denali. The non Bose system connection is at the firewall (you will not us

The Bose system does not sound good in the 2019s.  For the average listner they will be fine I guess but definitely not what I'd call good.  Not that any bose system is great persay but it's disappoin

Interesting that they are listing a Cheyenne model.  Looks like one will be out in the near future.

Nice! Thank you.

 

Now I just need the exploded diagrams for the speaker locations in the doors, dash, and for the subwoofer. Do you know if the dealer will let customers buy the service manual with the diagrams for the new models yet? I'm guessing it will be a while before the Haynes manuals come out.

I just asked for those at the dealer and they printed them out for me.  When you tear yours apart will you make a video I can follow. I’m having a hard time with mine.

I'll see if I can either video or do step by step pictures. Right now I'm waiting on some financial stuff to be completed and then place the special order. It will probably be 4 months at the earliest that I will have my 2019.

 

I'm researching everything now so that I have a better idea of what I'm going to run into. Right now I've got a 2000 watt Pioneer system in a 2013 VW Passat that I installed, but if I'm going all the way with the High Country, I might as well upgrade the components too. :)

Does anyone know if the head unit is a carry over from the 18's (bose)? Nav TV doesn't have anything yet for the 19's. My truck gets built next week so I am hoping to see it by end of the month then get into having someone do a stereo.

I really think the new BOSE in the 2019 is better when compared for previous gen...especially when you take most the base out of the BOSE and apply to external sub. I just left the the factory stuff alone....and added a little kick. 

 

This may help some of you.  This box was custom made fiberglass to fit directly inside the factory storage box that comes with higher trim crew cab. Just a single 10in (plenty for my age) still need to clean up the amp a little.. but you get the idea. Also have a base control knob up front.

Any chance you could show us how you got behind the dash to wire it into the factory stereo?  Does your truck have the center console?

Yes, full center console. I didn't do the install.. had a shop do it. 

Well crud. That’s the part I can’t figure out. Any chance you could ask the them how they got behind the dash?  Where all the screws are (and how many) to remove the black trim piece that encompasses the climate controls etc.

Do you have bose? If you happen to get it out, can you take pictures? Nav TV doesn't have anything for 19's yet. I'm guessing they need pictures of the back of the headunit where everything connects to make up a system to get a clean output.

Yes I will.  I just can’t figure out how to get behind there yet.

Thanks, I've only seen videos for the 18's to remove the headunit, and I'm not sure how similar they are.

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
