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?

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.

      Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
