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?

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
