My 2016 LTZ has two cup holders in the center console vs four cupholders in my 2019 LTZ.

 

I've found cup holders a great place to hold everything but a cup. Everything turns into a mess. So for the most part I don't even use them. Bench seat three hole and it's folded up 95% of the time. Dog lays there  :) Wife uses the one in the door. 

 

First mile I drove the truck I had a Mountain Dew in the holder and going over the curb the shock of the suspensions stiffness tossed it into the seat. Lid popped off and empties the entire cup. I learned the factory Scotch Guard is pretty nice and that the dealer 'interior protection' I declined was a joke. So are they useful? :crackup:

 

I have a screw on top thermos type cup that sits right between my legs. Never spills, dog never licks it. Wife doesn't take sips....handy. Same cup holder I had in my 65 Ford. 😉

My ‘21 6.2 10 speed K1 drove better than my ‘18 6.2 8 speed, but maybe because the ‘18 was a better “truck”.  Although ugly, the T1 makes a better daily driver vehicle.  Also feel I was one of the lucky ones that had a great 8 speed, no clunks, no delays going into gear.

There was just something about the K2s, they had a really classic "Chevy Truck Feel", reminded me a lot of the GMT400s and 800s. I really liked the K2 interiors too, best truck interior on the market until the 2019 Ram came out. The cocoa/dune option was beautiful, and the interiors just felt more open and spacious, even if material quality was roughly the same as the T1. T1 interiors are just too dark. Like sitting in a coal bin, even with the lightest color option. That and the design just makes them feel smaller than they are.

Pretty darn accurate here. I do miss my K2 LML but the new L5P has so much more power. I also don't have to worry about a CP4 or headgaskets anymore either.

    • I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose      
    • Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)    
    • Ok, I got the all the codes. What do you all think would be a place to start?
    • How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
