Hey guys.  I'm trying to add a line out converter for my 2020 GMC 3500hd.  I'm stuck trying to get the last 2 bottom screws to remove the actual deck portion .  There is a strip of plastic between the dash and the center console (SLT version).  Is there a truck to getting this piece of plastic out without damaging it.  I don't know if it's clipped or screwed.  I've included a pic.  Also, which color is the ANC wire?  I heard you have to clip that or else your sub will sound like crap.  I've heard purple/blue or purple White.

 

Thanks in advance.

Can't remember exactly but I think I have to remove the side panel to get to where that clips in ....I pulled mine out and had to mess with the other panels to get it back on

I've undone both sides of the console.  I'm scared to break the trim.  I've been pryng and it won't pull off.  Does it just pull straight back and out?

Maybe these will help. I pulled them from the light duty forum a year ago.6faf13ba2ee0ebb6d2946c7eb151ca28.jpgb432229a11e7a2b1434df8e822f64be1.jpg

Ok if it's clips I can just yank without worrying about screws.  No need to remove the center console right?  Thankyou!!

Bowtie, does any part of the centre console have to be removed? I can't get that piece out no matter how much force I put on it. It's almost like something is stopping it. I'm thinking I might have to take out the entire centre console just to be able to move that tiny piece of plastic to get at the screws? Any ideas?

      The amount of storage in the rear seat area is huge. You can keep all your cycle gear dry and clean back there

      Subtle vibration, can of worms opened.

      Truck in fluid changes and investigate subtle shudder at cruising speeds.  Told them it felt like my ‘14’s shudder when AFM kicked in.   Dealer #1 :  You need a new torque converter.   6 weeks later, after causing other damages to my truck, I get the truck back.  Same shudder exists. New, more violent shifts and vibrations at low speed.  After choice words and a few more weeks of waiting for them to replace my running boards supports, I move on to another Dealer.   Dealer #2:  The cruising speed shudder is DFM.  (I didn’t realize truck had it.) The TCM/ECM needs updates.  Updates will solve all vibration issues.   They perform updates, truck seemed ok in lot.  Not a mile down the road, SERVICE BRAKE PAD MONITOR. Dealer #1 stated brakes were at 4mm.   took truck back to Dealer #2, rear brakes at 2mm and less than 1mm.     New pads/rotors on rear, new pads up front.   truck seems good. Toggle through menus, brake monitor system is disabled.  Huh?  Why? Turn that sucker on : SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM!     will not reset manually, automatically, or even after pulling negative bat cable for 30min.     Could the TCM/ECM updates the culprit?    A torque converter diagnosis for a “normal” shudder and now I’m thousands in the hole and the truck still isn’t right!  Beyond pissed.

      Seats matter a lot.  I would start there - good advise here.  I had a 2018 LT Colorado before my 2026 LT Silverado, and the seats are so much better in the new one it's not even a contest.  That was one thing I always hated about the Colorado and I owned two of them spanning 10 years - but I did it so I could park in the garage mainly.  Now I have a much larger property and a huge barn so I have plenty of parking options and a full size is more useful for maintaining the property and current hobbies as well.  I wasn't evenb thinking about the seats as part of the reason for the move to the Silverado, but after two back to back 700mile road trips I am sold on the LT seats w/ leather 100%.  The other LT features are also nice - one thing I really like is the power rear window on the back window by the bed.  And the lighting in the bed is also very nice to have - I doubt that comes on the lower models.  Power tailgate - also quite useful - it's a heavy slug!  What else - I could take or leave the screen - but heated seats and steering wheel and cruise control on the steering wheel is very useable - I would never want to live without that.  Even the colorados had that.

      I think the ship has sailed on the fuel injection type - everything is getting direct now.  Does it help with mpg?  Not really and nobody buying a HD truck really cares anyway.  But that is what it is at this point.  Piston rings is something they may well adjust over time to get them right.
