My wife has the habit of showing crap into the door pockets of whatever vehicle she’s in And it’s a

pain in the butt to clean it all out.  Used to be trucks had knobs all over to hang bags on, but not any more, so I had my 17 year old son 3D print a solution for my 2020 Silverado,  REMOVABLE TRACH BINS!!!

  I have one on the drivers side & he’s currently printing one for the passenger side.

  If anybody is interested let me know ([email protected]) with what you think they are worth and I’ll have him get back to you.  Each one takes almost 20 hours to print Individually and we’re guessing a pair would take about 24hrs.

 They are printed using PLA filament

Wait.!!1

 

You mean this is not what the door pockets are for.  Nice item.. I have been working on 3d designing a cover for the  sunglass /heat  box on top of the dash to hold my paperwork and stuff. Some day i will get it done..   

I  have a Love/ Hate Relationship with my 2 3D Printers..

I don’t think this is a habit unique to just your wife, Lol. This act is also one of my dear wife’s calling cards. ??

Every darn time we pull into a gas station I have to ask her if she has any trash to get rid of. I don't know what her ride would look like if it weren't for me.

My wife’s always been a pack rat. Her backseat and trunk are always full. Same with the center console and passenger side seat. Me on the other hand everything is spotless. So instead of constantly nagging I leave her car alone and she respects mine. Funny how that transfers to everything else. I load the dishwasher all day. She would just at night. We have a once a month cleaning person. I still vacuumed once a week. I dust, tidy up constantly. Especially during the dormant time for yard activities. So yes I’m a little OCD. She’s a little laid back. Survival means no nagging. Pretty much got us through 47 years.

That's awesome! I love this kind of innovation. There should be a dedicated thread for sharing 3D printed creation.

 

Although I just want to point out, it's printed with PLA? you know PLA has a low melting point, they likely won't survive summer heat in a car. ABS is the go-to for car prints, I've also had good luck with PETG even in automotive applications. It's still a great idea though!

Do you have the step file? i might do some modfications.

if you're willing to share!

 

I'd add a small accommodation in the bottom so I can use body adhesive tape to install a small magnet in the bottom of the door panel, and one in the bottom of the trash bin...hold it securely in place between emptying.

      Scan Tool Recommendation

      By AndrewF · Posted

      I am in the market for a bidirectional scan tool so was hoping someone can help point me in the right direction. There are so many options out there it is hard to narrow down which make/model to choose.   I have always done my own vehicle work so looking to maximize capability with the scanner. Ideal price is $1k or less but would be willing to exceed if it opens up significant benefits.  Currently my 24 2500 is the newest vehicle but also have a few mid to late 2010s Subarus as well.    It seems that the Autel MP900 has a decent amount of features at a reasonable price?

      Silverado 4500-5500-6500 are they still being produced? Would have sold better as GMCs as well

      By C/K Man · Posted

      There was talk over the last couple of years that the contract to build these trucks between GM and International would not be renewed.  International moved production of all their other trucks besides the companion CV model out of the Springfield plant some time ago when they opened their San Antonio plant.  That left Springfield only building the Silverado Medium Duty, International CV Series, and some Express/Savanna long wheelbase cutaways.  International also put the plant up for sale some time ago.  This all answered my earlier question as to why GM and International did nothing with these trucks since they were introduced, as they had basically become a market 'placeholder' with a finite life.    The Silverado Medium Duty/International CV trucks were interesting combination of a GM powertrain, electrical system, and K2XX Silverado cab with an International chassis that was supposedly designed for a step-van type vehicle they never produced.  They were manufactured in International's Springfield plant along with the IH MV series initially.  When first introduced, there was much talk that the Silverado Medium Duty/CV would eventually get a gasoline engine option along with other upgrades and GM and IH would work on a class 6/7 joint venture truck.  This was before VW bought Navistar out, after that happened no more was said.  Draw your own conclusions...   About the time talk started that the GM/IH joint venture was not going to be renewed, rumors started that GM would develop a new line of medium duty trucks themselves.  The story is the new trucks will be part of the next generation HD's due in 2028, and will still feature a 'straight rail' chassis design that the current medium duty has.  GM views this as a desirable feature that differentiates their truck from the competition.  A gasoline engine option is also expected.  As the current Silverado Medium Duty remains in production until September 2026 and there is still a lot of inventory available do not expect any official word for some time.   I believe GM remains committed to their successful partnership with Isuzu, and all the LCF models will still be available from Chevy Commercial dealers.  Isuzu is on the cusp of opening a new large plant in South Carolina and there is also speculation that this may result in new product for both Isuzu and Chevy Commercial dealers.

      Software Update

      By nfisherman · Posted

      I have a 2026 2500 HD Ultimate. My phone app says there’s a software update available. It’s something about improved battery management and something to do with the running boards. I follow the instructions for the update but the “Check for Updates” option is greyed out in my settings menu. Has anyone else seen this? How did you resolve it? The help message just says “see your dealer” if the download doesn’t work. I’m just trying to save a trip.
