I have kept it in the center console attached to a magnet, but was wondering if anyone else has come up with a better concealment idea.

I just got used to keeping it on me holstered. If I'm going where I know I cannot carry (like work) I usually leave it home, otherwise lock it in a secured under-seat vault, but if I'm carrying it stays on my person even in the vehicle.

center console but only when i'm with it. there is a company that makes a holster designed for under your seat. basically you can reach between your legs to pull it out, thought that was a neat idea but not enough to spend the cash.

Any idea what the company's name was?

I have mine just in a cheap Uncle Mike's holster.  For a smaller gun (Ruger LC9) I can clip in right on that little cubby towards the front of the console.  The lid still shuts and everything.

I want to keep it underneath the seat.  I just ordered some big neodymium magnets, what i'm plan on doing is use my 3d printer to print a holder that fit my specific handgun in a specific location.

i'd be leery of magnets. you can probably rig up an old holster though.

I always keep my pistol on my person unless I have to go into a prohibited area.  Then I lock it in a tethered lockbox under the rear seat.  You are much more likely to need access to your pistol outside of your truck, such as when refueling.  Better to always have it on you.

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      There are no stickers in your glovebox?

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
