hey guys, new here and new to gm trucks. I just got a 2020 chev silverado 2500HD 4x4 WT reg cab 8 ft box truck for a company truck. Does the center console not open? or is it just there to hold my cups, seems ridiculous that it wouldn't open, or is that some sort of option? I've tried to open it approaching to point i feel i am going to break something, is there a secret button somewhere to open it,  i found the pull cord that flips the console up to make it a 3 seater 40/20/40, but no button to open.

 

let me know and apologies in advance for the noob question ! my Ford (personal truck) has the same set up, but you click the center button and voila ! storage space....

No, unfortunately since it’s a base model Silverado the console doesn’t have a lid, it’s just one solid piece of trim.

All Denalis have bucket seats and a full center console.  The Chevy Work Truck trim uses the 40/20/40 bench, and the center seat does not have console storage when down as a center armrest - that requires LT/LTZ for Chevy, SLE/SLT for GMC with the 40/20/40.

yeah its kinda sucks, seems like it would cost more money to make 2 consoles instead of 1.....but there is a million topics on this with TB....LT or up for it to open.....no way I could have a truck without a storage compartment...reason I am looking at LT currently in 2500 series

Just as weird that the center console doesn't open on certain trim levels, I saw a youtube video of a similar 2020 2500HD LT trim level crew cab where the cloth back seat didn't have the center arm rest and cup holders, nor the little cubby spaces in the 2 outside seat backs. I thought those were standard?

My lt has both the console storage and the lockable under seat storage.  My truck does the convenience package 2, however the storage was listed as part of the allstar edition package.  Guessing lt models without the allstar or texas editions do not include the storage package unless it is ordered with some other package.

When I picked up my LT, I tried to open the console and it wouldn't open. I didn't want to force it and break something. I asked the salesperson and she said it's not supposed to open. I looked at it carefully and it seemed pretty obvious it SHOULD open. She was sure it wasn't supposed to open but, to humor me, she had a tech come over from the service department to look at it. He climbed in and, after putting a lot more force on it that I was willing to do, he got it open and it has worked perfectly ever since.

 

OP, I would watch eBay and try to find an LT or above console that opens. I can't imagine not being able to utilize that space in your center console,.

i had same issue....since mine was delivered to my house i didnt find out til next morning...i was gonna take it in to service but after a week i knew how the latch worked cuz i just had a 19 RST......i used a small diameter rod and fed it through pushed lid down and pulled with rod and it opened....and same as you has worked ever since.....was so stoked as i hate going to dealer for anything....even to buy the damn truck!

 

however in my 19 RST i had both storage compartments and only had conv 1 in that truck.....my 2500 has conv 2 and its identical to my RST

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
