custom = cheap = lowest model available. it doesn't mean it was a custom built truck

 

I agree it is a piss poor decision to remove it, but that's why the truck was so cheap.

I'm personally more upset, or baffled there is no cd player in a 2019 truck. I understand CD is an "old" technology now, but they are still very present today.

So I decided to peek inside the the top of the jumper seat today and I snapped some pictures for you guys. Here is my piece of the puzzle.   It looks like the lower portion of the arm rest h

I purchased the upper part of the armrest from the dealer for $490 Cdn$.  The bottom part apparently is multiple part and was super expensive (i think about $1000).   Anyways, it was a bit of wor

I will give a summary of what I did.  Not being mechanical at all, it wasn't easy but very doable.    The first step was to take the plastic side panels off the console.  Right off the bat,

I recognize that the custom model is a lower model, I wasn't interested in the majority of the upgrades that came with the LT. My thought is that storage in a console shouldn't be an "upgrade" it should be standard. For close to 40k out the door with the options I did select I find it unacceptable.

Did my swap this weekend. It's so nice having the storage now in the arm rest. 5ec0b77004ec2a5c1c1e4e75e845ac0c.jpg57c97a4a6ea245f52ae688dcc54fd8f9.jpgbc4eb1157ea1dac8c8d263b8e57d1836.jpgc71fbe6745a48afbdbbc48af90090ece.jpg

I suspect this is a stupid question but how did you get the cup holders/storage area on the floor?  The pictures on the Chevy website don't show it.  I was considering a 2020 SLE so I can have the 5.3/10-speed combo without a bunch of other features (and added cost) that I don't want but I don't know if I can live without the centre console.  However, what you have there looks like it would work for me.

Look back a few posts, he ordered it aftermarket, he posted a link for it.

You like it?  Fits there well?  Doesn't slide around on you or anything?

If you don't have the door to door floor mats it will fit fine without modification and the front part of it will go up under the dash.
It you have the door to door floor mats as I do, you will have to trim the bottom front half to get it to fit. No big deal.
Even just sitting on the rubber floor mat and up under the dash a bit mine hasn't moved.
It's great. I highly recommend.

That middle console makes the truck look so smoother.  I’m waiting for something to.  I found one on eBay. But I’m not paying 800 dollars lol 

I would trade you console out of my LT Trail Boss for a center seat?

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
