Hello all and thank you in advance!

 

so I thought having the safety console would be nice but really I doNt have a big enough purpose that it makes sense - and the mat GM gave just lays over it and doesn't give much to organize or anything. 
 

so my question is - how hard is the removal of the safe?  And if I remove it what options are out there for console organization type things?

 

thank you!

I used this one to sit above my locker down safe:

It's mainly for a 2018 Silverado, but fits on the skinny lip right on the edge, perfectly.  I needed something with as much height as possible, as I have the electronic lock, which adds a little height to the lock.

I would actually consider keeping and using the safe.  I like having some cash, my registration/insurance card and other items in a bit more secure location.  At least if I get my truck washed or serviced, those things don't get accessed.

 

I have one in my truck and love it.  I also have the organizer that sits above the safe, and it keeps the things I need at hand.

So to be Clear-you have the GM safe a the bottom of the console and the organizer (From Amazon-which I already have ) fits on top of the safe and you can close the console?

I have been told the the Lock'R Down version of this safe will not permit the use of the organizer , but it looks like the GM safe wiull fit beneath the organizer which would be Super good!

See my previous post above.  I have the locker down safe with the electronic lock, which sits even higher than the roller tumbler lock, and I used a organizer for a 2018 Silverado and it sits perfect on the little bit of a seam on the console edge.  Snaps right into place, and does not touch the lock at all.

Yes, the GM safe will work with several of the organizers available on Amazon

I like the idea of the console safe but I really wish it was shallower & didn’t take up so much cubic space. IMO, 3” deep would be perfect. Enough for a pistol and/or valuables to lay flat & there’s still plenty of storage left above.

Agree. Too much safe space, not enough unsecured space.

I got the front 40/20/40 front bench and really like the lockable storage under the middle seat but it’s far from a “safe”. Haven’t been able to find one for the new ‘19-‘20 body style - if any of y’all came across one when looking for your console safe, please pass that info on!

Hello all,  purchased a 19 Sierra yesterday and it has this console safe (GM part 84081567) according to the stickers inside the safe. Safe is open but the dial is in the locked position... Dealer didn’t have the code so it’s basically useless.  The reset can’t be used if it’s in the locked Position for obvious reasons. Any ideas?

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes exactly, more and more these days people/companies are afraid of liability issues so its easier just to say no rather than risk putting their neck on the line.    I will say with the Autel unit or when I used it last year on my truck, it wasn't like I could choose the 2025 model year or even the 2024 model year as that option was not there to manipulate the placard pressures but had to go back to 2023 or there abouts and then it showed up as an option, odd but that was how the software was then and I can't say one way or the other now as they throw out updates every so often. I still would talk to your tire dealer though to start with and they may do it for nothing but also they may have a comment on a better unit to purchase. All I know is that one of the large tire shops in my area happens to use these Autel units for their use and set them up to use the wifi and all of that jazz for constant updating because each tire tech has one handed to them by the shop but I just plugged it into my laptop to update it and yes if one is bought it has to be registered so you can get the link to do updates and then the unit has to be updated before its even used. I am not at all techy so it took me a bit but anyway just a heads up for anything you buy, most likely it will need to be connected to a computer to access the internet to have it updated to the latest software version before you can put it to use.   If your truck is near empty, those tire pressures you listed are a very safe upper range pressures to carry the weight, both the front and rear as I know they could be run lower yet with an empty truck. And if its a trailer and not some motorcycle your going to strap onto the front of your truck on a rack, you shouldn't have a need to inflate your front tires if your at 55 front already, its the rear ones that would need more air if you have much hitch weight.

      Thank you, I'll check that Autel scanner out and see if it will work for me! Ya I can see GM's point of view if they lower the psi set value for someone and the person sell's the truck and the new owner puts the factory tires back on then their could be liability issues cause the psi warning light wasn't coming on when the tires were under inflated for towing their load and then it might be able to be traced back to GM lowering it.

      I had a similar but different response when I talked to the service manager where I bought my truck in that he said GM corporate won't allow them to lower the placard pressure setting as they would get their hand slapped but that of course they have the ability to make that change. His suggestion was simply go to a tire dealer or third party shop that is willing to reset the pressures lower. However I chose to buy a tpms tool and partly based off of this very forum as it had been proven to work on the 2024 model ( Global B system ) and while I could have paid lots for a full two way diag tool, I didn't want to spend that much and bought the recommended Autel TS 508 and it will reprogram the 2025 model and assume it should do the 2026 as well. However the tool is rather proprietary to reprogramming Autel tpms sensors so that is a function I will never use, where as a real two way scanner would have many uses but also have yearly subscriptions etc where this 508 is free updates for as long as they put updates out for the unit. In any event it worked to lower the placard pressures and I often use it to adjust my actual tire pressures although will check with a mechanical gauge as well sometimes just to make sure that tires tpms sensor isn't lying to me.    My suggestion is either buy a tool that you know will work to adjust the system or start out by getting the tire shop you bought your tires from to reset your truck and if after that you still want a unit to do it yourself, get one at that point.

      Here is an image of a quick Google search about these tires on my truck and it's exactly same psi recommendation the Toyo tires company gave me!    I'm not looking for anyone else recommended psi or anything, I'm just looking to see if anyone knew a way to get rid of the factory low psi warning light, because I'm not running high psi and ruining my tires when I'm not towing!
