not sure were in this forum i read it/saw it. but for those who never heard of this... its awesome. as we know the rear seat  back doesnt fold down/just the base up. by removing the rear seat full bench or the60/40 it works the same. but once removed you will seethe 2 back hooks on bench/3 on 60/40 that lock back rest to cab. cut 2.5 inches off the tabs. no more than 2.5 in. but 2.5 seems to be the magic #. after the cut. give the tabs a small tweek out.. an reinstall. now when u fold up ur  back will unlock n fold down or lock the base up w the back etc. it allows you to access behind the seat. i did my amp rack there an theres room to put whatever u like. hold seat back to wall an let base go.. full lock. love it..

I have this and love it. My old truck i sold to buddy and the day he saw it he said I have to have it.

I did it for the area for my amps and audio equipment. But I would still do it just to store stuff back there. Nice to put a rifle there if you worry about smash and grab criminals. 

Only tip I have is cover the seat back with old rag so sparks or saw doesn't hit the thin black cloth and RIP it. There is zero structural issues with this mod. 

I have also seen people add rear seat spacers to get.more room under the seat for boxes.

I lifted my rear seat 2" to fit my sub box and now it folds too. It is handy especially for amps back there.

Did you go LMI or did you make your own brackets? Im looking at doing this in preparation to make my own sub box because im tired of taking it in and out when people ride with me. But I just feel the LMI price for my '18 Sierra crewcab is just too much..

      Whoever greenlighted the work truck matte black front bumpers on every trim but the AT4X should be fired!  I was hoping that was an AI mistake, but just realized they were on every model of the 2027 Silverado too.     Some parts of the interior do look premium, but the Denali Ultimate dashboard looks like an afterthought.  At least they appear to have lost the microfiber the high end Silverado models showed, but the '27 High Country dash looks better than the Denali.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.

      No tears over the SLE and SLT trim levels disappearing but I kind of loathe the "Elevation" name. It's a truck--skip the elegance.   The slab-dashboard design is decidedly different. Almost has a Hummer flavor to it. "Professional Grade" seems to be leaning very white-collar, tech-driven these days moreso than blue-collar, functional design.   The Silverado would be my choice between the two new trucks. Pleased with the engine lineup in both. The GMC is a little "too much" for a truck, IMO, and the Denali borders on ridiculous - but I do know there are buyers for luxury trucks out there. It's just not my speed.

      - I like the outside but not as much as the Chevrolet.  They ICE'd the EV styling and it works, but I think exterior goes to Chevy on this one.     - SLE and SLT dead = Not.  Surprising.  Fits into the rest of the GMC lineup like this which (aside from Pro) matches the rest of the family.  Elevation, AT4, Denali.     - Interior.  Sophisticated Malaise era.  Why do I say Malaise?  Drawn with a ruler.  Rectangles everywhere.  Looks very premium though.
