So my family is back to having two dogs.  Trouble is that now we have a dog taking up the jump seat in the front of my truck and I can't use cup holders in the flip down seat back.

Does anyone have good options for adding at least a single cup holder so I can keep my coffee flowing?

 

My thoughts so far:

Buy the generic holder that you can get on Amazon / Menards / Auto store.  Question:  How are folks securing this sort of thing? 

- There doesn't appear to be a great place to secure it unless I could cut it to match up to the contour of the floor in front of the jump seat.

- Could order floor liners that cover the center hump and secure it to there somehow?  This is a fair expense just for a cup holder though ?

I can't imagine screwing a cup holder through the carpet is a great idea.

 

What's worked for others?

Should have added. Two kids, Two dogs, my Wife and I. Otherwise, yes. Dogs ride in the back. As it stands, for trips it's either a dog or a kid but the seat's occupied.

 

Theyre in the bed for hunting but I'm a pushover and feel bad for family trips when it's really hot / cold.

Use the built in cup holder in the door. It's kind of out of the way but it works

This may be evidence that I need a vacation. Didn't even think of that bc it's been holding my hand sanatizer. Can't believe I didn't arrive at this.

I knew you never thought of that.
That's why I didn't rag on you.[emoji23][emoji24][emoji2957]

      287,500 Mile Service   8/13/2026   Reset Fuel Trims   Since the work done in the previous post there was a good improvement in response in all areas except right after a fill up where the LTFT would go -20%+ for about four miles while the STFT was near neutral. Before the work they both went very negative for a few miles after a fill up but act normal thereafter.    We did a systems check of the vapor recovery system for functionality and ability to hold a vacuum. That checked out fine. But this doesn't mean the charcoal canister is dead in the water. Testing that is next up. For now the reset of the fuel trims.    I intentionally shorted the fill exactly two gallons to eliminate any chance of filling the canister. On start up the trims were behaving normally until I got up and rolling where the LTFT went -10 / -11%% but the short was + 2 to 0%. Within a mile the the STFT offset the LTFT and by 2 miles they were neutral. HUGE improvement but still not hunky-dory.    I'll watch them for a few days. Perhaps another tank where I will fill completely to 'first click' and compare. Meanwhile on the hunt for a new canister and I'll toss another purge value at it for good measure. Pending the outcome of the canister test that is. Progress of any kind is welcome.    Fuel economy improvement with bringing hole #3 back to the living was a noticeable bump to the positive. Even on the few miles I drove after the refill I already see another bump up by the trims reset.     She's purring like a kitten with a warm bowl of milk.    BTW, adding 50 rpm to the idle took the majority of the negative timing out on cold start up and leaned the cold idle. No longer burbles in the cat. What a dumb way to heat a cat.

      Yeah, shame I can’t really get that filter easily anymore. Running a PureOne. Your fave!    TAN would be neat to see. Confirmation I ran it too long probably. 🤣

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By superdave160 · Posted

      My son and I both bought new trucks in 2017. Both of us immediately put Truck Covers USA American Roll Covers on our trucks. My son still has his truck and it never sees the inside of a garage. We live in Alabama, so not much snow. My truck was my daily driver and was in the garage when I wasn't driving it or at work. No issues with either cover even after almost 9 years. About a year ago I sold my truck to my brother and bought a 2025 Silverado 2500. The second thing that I put on that truck was a new Truck Covers USA cover. They are very well made and have a very positive locking system. I looked at a Retrax and my concern was the way that the cover locked to the rail. BTW, the first thing I put on the new truck was step bars. Those new trucks are high!

      The Allison 10 speed torque converter doesn't "lock up" like the previous transmissions. It has 4 operational modes; open, slip, transition from open to slip; transition from slip to open. I have an Edge CTS3 monitor and I monitor transmission torque converter slip. Step on the gas and you get a little slip. Take your foot off the gas and you get a little negative slip. I have not found a way to display the torque converter mode beyond that. My Edge CTS3 also displays something that our trucks should already display, the current gear. I also monitor throttle body position and engine load. If I see the engine load getting too high, I'll manually drop a gear.

      Nice result. Your filter is working well  I'd have like to have seen the acid number for this sample. Curious type that I am.
