No luck yet. Should be by the end of next week. Regardless, here is the documentation for headunit removal. It is 6 bolts holding it in and you may need to tear out the lower trim piece to get to the others. I do not have the truck yet so I am just going off the documentation.

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

I really hope so. They got the title application from my selling dealership on friday so it should only be a few more days. Who knows at this point. :sigh:

I tried again getting that bottom piece out.. I still can’t remove it, it’s seems like it’s being blocked on either near the edges of the center console. Frustrating

So if you look at the diagrams, there is section that says "Preliminary Procedures". For that bottom trim piece, it looks like you need to remove the cup holder trim plate. I can get back onto the service site and review the diagrams later to confirm. It may be a fairly easy removal but you can wait for me to confirm. Sorry, I thought I had covered them all

Awesome.  I knew there was something that wasn’t working out right. Thank you for helping me.

I took a quick look at it, looks like the whole piece from the charging mat to the center console has to come out.  Looking forward to seeing your schematics to see if that is really the case

hey, sorry but I didn't see your PM. Anyways, shoot me your email if you can't open the files attached. They are labeled in the order they need to be (E.g. (#1) is the first part you remove). Absolutely ridiculous but whatever.

Got both console side pieces off, got the cup holder trim off, got to the lower trim removal and still couldn't release it.  I can't believe that damn piece is being so stubborn.  Will try again this weekend when I have more time.

Does anyone know the speaker size of the non bose system? I have not been able to find anything on it. Has anyone replaced the stock speakers yet? I am thinking about doing it and adding an amp, I have already added one amp and a JL sub to my stock stereo. Any info would be much appreciated.

Has there been any developments in the aftermarket for these stereos? Mine has the base stereo and desperately needs an upgrade. I'll start with the sub and amp first, which I pulled out of my old truck. Is there any drop in sub boxes available that fit the new trucks? I can't seem to find one. Rather not pay for custom made if I don't have to.

Second question is where to get signal from. Is there a separate amp for the base stereo or is it all contained in the head unit?

JL Audio sent me this January23rd, said they had completed development of the stealth box for the truck:

 

"We just finished development of a new Stealthbox model designed to fit the 4th Generation GM full-size trucks. It's not available yet, but we hope to begin shipping sometime next month.

 

The enclosure comes loaded with a pair of 12TW3-D8 woofers in a down firing configuration that installs under the rear seat. The pair of woofers are wired for a 2 ohm mono load with a rated power handling of 800 watts RMS. The enclosure also has a recess in the top to mount an amplifier.

 

The new Stealthbox model name and SKU are listed below: SB-GM-SLVCC4/12TW3 (SKU 94668)"

The pics aren't showing up. And I clicked the link. It wants me to log in to MyGM. So unfortunately we can't see anything! But I'd like to!

 

I've actually been emailing with the owner of Subthump. He got his hands on a 2019 last weekend and already has a couple sub boxes in the works. I'm waiting for a reply from him. I asked for a single 10" sealed box for under the driver's rear seat. Said it shouldn't be a problem, and he also designed a double 10" with an amp space in the center, just like the one for the previous gen trucks. I'll update when I have something.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By AidenVorpagel · Posted

      hello I recently bought a 2012 gmc 1500 with a 5.3 and have a AFM disabler on it I'm interested in doing a cam but I'm worried if I remove the AFM system I will fail smog does anyone have info if they are able to detect that or a work around to it (not talking about hot smogging) please let me know thank you

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      Update. I started chasing down my symptoms. Started first with pulling valve covers and looked at everything. Everything looked good and couldn't hear or feel anything different. Then a compression test. 240 psi or really close on each cylinder. I was worried I was a tooth off of timing. Not bad for an engine with 173,000. Granted I did put new heads on. I sprayed water around the injector area to see if I could hear a change. Nothing. I hooked up my new hp tuner which I should have done in the first place but I don't really know what I'm looking at just yet but am learning. I noticed the fuel trims were way off so that told me I have to have either a bad injector or exhaust leak. New injectors, so I did the shop vac on blower and in the tail pipe. Sprayed soapy water and found the exhaust flange on the drivers side was leaking. I didn't think it would be that considereding I pulled the heads and left the manifolds attached. I did have the transmission replaced not long ago. They must have not seated them properly but I guess I didn't notice. I put in new gaskets on both sides. Which by the way isn't a bad job but I had a hard time getting them to seal right. Took two attempts. Reset the fuel trims and the ticking is gone, engine runs smooth and acceleration has improved. Got to feel the real difference with that stage 1 cam. It's not that big of a difference but it does add a little more. It feels like how the truck should have been from the factory.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Can it still be Assembled I?    Stribeck says that we need a certain amount of viscosity under conditions of load and velocity to prevent two surfaces of a know roughness from tearing each other asunder. And we have marketing trying to tell the masses that those two surfaced require less of that commodity due to more exact limits being placed on the same old clearances. We also know that there are limits to how hard something can before it becomes to brittle to be viable and to smooth to 'wet' the surface and that both of those conditions have been known and met since about the Second World War.    That viscosity value shook out at 10 centistokes at 212 F just under a hundred years ago.  Give this a look: [Anton Parr]     What is advertised is the Kinematic viscosity (mm2/s) or that which has been density adjusted but the value we are after is the dynamic viscosity (mPa.s) or true viscosity. You can see that this number is dependent on density thus base stock and temperature. You can also see that an SAE 30 doesn't reach that value in this example. However an SAE 30 that is at the upper end of the SAE 30 range; 12.5 cSt (mm2/s), might. 12.5 * .83 = 10.375 (mm2/s). If you could find an SAE 30 at the upper end these days.   Then there is the complication of viscosity modifiers or VII or VM, whatever you wish to call them. Polymers added to very thin base oils, perhaps 3 to 6 cP oils, that will meet the SAE *W30 spec at 'tested' shear rates and 100 C/212F  target temperature. So a polymer fortified base that is a fraction of the 10 cP requirement Stribeck insist upon.   This could be all well and good if those polymers didn't have two very problematic 'features'. They shear or loose viscosity both 1.) permanently and 2.) temporality. And they do both omitted in the advertised data with the distinct  purpose of deceiving the consumer of the actual operating state of the fluid. I've shown the example of Warren Oils COSTCO 10.91 cSt 5W30 formuation several times where the 100 C HTHS value is 6.9 cP!! That's the temporary shear down and with and SSI or shear stability index of 9.4 cSt. Note the intentional deception in using mixed units?    After a short while that 9.4 cSt oil has a viscosity corrected dynamic value of 7.8 cP. But as the SSI is still within the range of an SAE *W30 whose lower value is 9.3 cSt.    This allows them to continue to call this SAE 16 weight oil a 30 weight, the cake, and still meet the API requirements for fuel efficiency IMPROVEMENT mandated by the EPA. The eating of the cake. By the time you've worn out your motor doing the responsible thing by adhering to the warranty requirements, (the stick), you get deprived of the carrot, wear control. So sad, to bad.   So what can be done? Do I need actually say? [Anton Parr]       Even this must be monitored if the oil is on the low side and the VII an organic or you opt for a 0W40 with an even lighter base oil and more / higher MW VII. (Note the lower density of the 40 weight versus the SAE 30 mono-weight?)    There is another workaround. Temperature. An SAE *W30 run at a bulk temperature of between 180 and 195 F.    Being the belt and suspenders sort I am I do both. Run it cook and run it heavy.    In Part II I'll work the AW package.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      So, do I go elbow-deep on this thing or list it for sale and play dumb? Seems to "runs good."   I'm about $1200 away from having: -a rebuilt injector ($300) -a new cat ($250) -a new cat back exhaust (OE style) ($300) -a new AC compressor ($200) -AC refrigerant charge ($150)   In theory, this should rectify the obvious detracting issues from its value and operability. Cold AC with a non-squeaking AC pulley both sounds and feels good. An exhaust that isn't cut/hacked in 17 different places and doesn't vibrate on a crossmember would make it sound and feel less janky. A working cat would help the stink, and will save the earth, but *if and only if* the fuel system is working properly, which would also address the intermittent "rich" CEL.   Heard a good one... CEL for "Rich condition" means you haven't spent enough money on the truck lately, and it's letting you know.   Rebuilding the injector would seem to be the most important part. Replacing the cat would be secondary. I don't think mine is plugged or overly restricted, but it might be a little restricted? I have no good way to tell other than seat of the pants feel. I hate the smell.   The current theory is I have a rich idle problem: A bad fuel pressure regulator, or a leaking injector(s) being the highest probabilities. I already replaced the FPR but that doesn't mean its replacement isn't also bad. It was a new part from Dorman, but the packaging looked like it had been sitting on a shelf for 20 years.   This is the (single) upstream O2 sensor shown at idle. I'm getting a lot of "rich" it seems. Sometimes it stays high like that and doesn't drop down. That makes me think it's processing injector leaks or a partially stuck open injector.     Other times it looks like this. Nice oscillations between rich and lean, which is what I think it should be. Under load and at speed, the oscillations are nice and tight and uniform looking, high and low.     Fuel trims suggest the PCM is compensating pretty hard at idle to pull fuel out. But it's not enough to trip a CEL. Something about slowing to a stop: brake vaccum booster, EGR, or the EVAP purge is delayed, or there's pooled fuel in the intake again that's draining into a cylinder is enough to set the CEL. Of course, in two days of driving, it hasn't set. I was hoping to actually look at the freeze-frame data when it sets. IAT is high because it's idling on an 83 degree day here.
