So I bought one of these to try after having gotten several stick on magnet holders from Amazon that were junk and the adhesive fell off!!

I have to say I love it.  Super easy to install, take off the trim, 4 screws pull out the stack a little bit and it bolts on to the existing screw!   Very sturdy and the magnet is very strong.   The backing that goes on your phone case is also strong adhesive.   

 

With the lack of usable room in a new Silverado without a full console, this is definitely a solution to finding a place to put your phone rather than using one of the two valuable cupholder spaces and a solution if you don't want to block your vents with a clip holder.  Adhesive holders I've found fall off after time.

 

I bought two of these (one for my bro) and he doesn't want it.  I am not intending this to be a want ad, but does anyone want my extra one?  It's new in the packaging (took out for photos).  I'll ship it for free if you pay me what I paid for it.  Plus you won't have to wait weeks to get it.   It is for a 2019 to 2020/21 -1500, 2500 and 3500.

I guess it’s good for those with the jump seat. I like being able to toss my phone on the wireless charger. I also loathe texting and driving.

Yeah I don't have the full console.  I don’t use it while its there....its just nice to have somewhere to put my phone.  Its easy to put it in place and when I jump out I grab it and go.   I'm limited on space in the new Silverado, only 2 cup holders and all the other little cubbies on the arm rest are pretty much useless for anything but the key fob.  

 

I'd say it's handy if you're doing mapping and you want to see it on your phone rather than your screen.....

 

But for me its just a convenient spot to put it so I can get to it easy when I need my phone.   And I know its not going to slide forward onto the floor.

have you tried the weather tech cup phone holder, or the knock off versions?

No!   Because you'll end up losing the cup holder again anyway.   

 

I was tired of losing a cupholder by putting my phone in there in the first place.   Thats why I got this.

I use one while golfing to hold my phone for gps, music control, etc but in my truck I did not like losing one of two cupholders.  At least in a golf cart there are four.

You bought one or you were given one in trade for your review? They spammed the site last week hitting up many members through PMs to advertise their product in return for free product

 

As of now they (Course Motorsports) have been banned from the site for the tactics

I have no connection with them whatsoever.  Just doing a review.

 

I bought two of them, a month or more ago, one for me and one for my bro.  They don't allow returns once taken out of the package unless broken.    Since I can't return it, I thought I'd offer it to someone to save them shipping rate and time (took two weeks) and tax rate and get some of the money I spent on it.   

 

All I am saying is I like the product.   You can take this post down if you think it doesn't comply with TOS.

Post your spare in the "For Sale" section

    • Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.          
    • Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.  
    • I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
