I posted this in the Mod board but haven't had any responses so I thought I would try here as well.

 

I have a 2020 Silverado WT provided by my company.  My 2016 had a 3.5MM audio plug in the center console and I had a Sirius radio that I connected that way.  Chevy has stripped these trucks way down and no longer gives you a 3.5MM jack (or any storage for that matter).  The Sirius radio came with an FM adapter that goes in series with the normal FM radio antenna which then allows you to tune to a station on the radio to listen to the receiver.  I located what I am pretty sure is the antenna connection behind the passenger dash below the glove box.  I don't know how to get the cable out to see if it is the same style as the Sirius adapter.  In the old days you just pulled hard but this looks like it may have a captive plug that needs to be released but I can't see well enough to tell.

 

I found a picture from back in 2019 on this forum that has a good image of the unit,  It's the black coax that I assume is the FM antenna,

 

Can anyone tell me what has to be done to release the cable?  Thanks in advance.

Looking at the pic, you'd have to squeeze the black tab on the back of that cable while pulling it out to release it. The pic doesn't show much of that black tab. They're could be a red or white plastic tab inside of it at the very end. If there is you'll need to pull that down first to disengage the lock so you can do the first thing I said. I've found fingernails aren't enough to pry a locking tab down. You'll need a pick or some other tool to help out.

      Some Assembly is Required

      Gas Prices

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
