Removed my antenna as I could care less about radio and the truck looks a lot better. Was wondering if there was a cap or cover for these vehicles that covers the opening where the antenna was? Thanks in advance

I’ve never seen a cap, but there is a 1.5 inch shorty on amazon.

 

Yeah I've seen those but they look kind of funny as well IMO. Whole front end looks a lot cleaner when it's symmetrical and nothing is there but would like a cover/cap to fill that spot. They make them for most other vehicles just can't find them for T1's...

Does anyone know if GM sells a shorter antenna? Would think about swapping to a shorter one if GM sells a smaller OEM one. With the Trail Boss being lifted and already higher i have ran into a lot of places where the antenna hits. Kind of annoying. Little surprised GM didn't come up with something better.

I’ve seen a few people go to the hardware store and grab plastic hole plugs to snap into the antenna hole in the trim piece. Looked good. Amazon also has kits with various sizes that will likely work.

 

I just run the shorty cuz I do need some AM reception at times.

I got this one, and use the "0.75 inch Bonus" on my truck. I still get most of the radio stations with it, in a non-major city. I wish it was less pointy, but I think that helps with reception.

That is pretty sharp.

 

I was looking for a plug too, but I might end up using this one.

 

Still staying on good and not working loose?

 

Thanks!

I was hitting the garage door with the antenna with just the standard height truck.

 

I bought this one, and other then height it appears to be the same as factory.

Thanks for the link. Mine was also hitting the garage door so ordered this and it is perfect. Does not hit door plus looks just like factory, just a bit shorter.

Agree, the constant antenna dinging every time going in or out of the garage was a ear soar.  The shorter antenna definitely eased the mind.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
