The photo I'll attach is a stock photo but I can't wait to install this underseat storage.  As some of you know I like neat and organized....well in pretty much everything I do.  I'm a perfectionist at fault, of which you all should love me to be the one working on the aircraft you are flying on to wherever...lol....  anyhow, I'll attach a few pics of it installed in a few days and let you all know if it's worthy.  For now that thing gets 5 stars and is only 126 bucks on Amazon right now.  Way cheaper then the other ones. The only thing I don't like is that I need to find a thin rubber padding to put in it.  It being totally plastic means stuff will shift around and make noise.  I hate noise.....lol....

Would love to see pictures after install

I'm going to install it tomorrow evening.  I'll attach some pics.  Like I said before, I need to find some kind of rubber padding to put on it to keep things in place and not sliding around when driving.  I'll figure that out too and attach pics as well.

Put one of these in one of my work trucks (du-ha brand from realtruck.com) absolutely loved it and it was nice bc it came with removable dividers with built in gun racks on them and came with or without locking lid…def kept things from rolling around and organized

also interested to see installed pics.  I've got the Du-Ha brand one as well and it does the job way better than the crappy factory installed one that came in the truck when I bought it.  The dividers are pretty flimsy and don't stay in place real well is about my only complaint so far.

And here it is installed.  Takes about 20 minutes to do.  I had to trim my GM all weather floor liner right in front of the jack mount so it would install flush.  I used an exacto knife, worked excellent.  I just need to find a thin rubber liner to put in it to keep things from moving around but I love it!!

After looking at the pics it appears I need to pull it out a bit at the center point.  Looks a little bowed in lol...I will say this, that baby is locked in there big time.  It's never going to move unless you take it out.

Good thread. Been thinkin about switching mine out. That RC version you got is the best one I’ve seen. Nice.

And a great price as compared to most of the other ones.  I was surprised at its affordability.  $126 from Amazon with free shipping.

Looks good….price is definitely a plus especially bc it looks of good quality

I'm very impressed.  Very sturdy, nothing about it feels cheap or flimsy.  Worth every penny in my opinion.

Crewcab

I’d get one if I didn’t have a car seat and two boosters in the back 24/7 haha. I currently just put my supplies in a couple husky tool bags and slide them under the seats. Works well and allows me to just take those bags to the tailgate when digging around in them.

I made a little more progress today but ran out of double sided tape during the install of the rubber liner, so it looks like crap but it won't soon.  A friend of mine at work suggested I use toolbox drawer liner that is used to keep your tools from sliding around in the drawers.  So he brought in a big roll of it today that he had and said to use what I want.  This stuff is cheap and works amazing.  Here's the link to it on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/CASOMAN-Professional-Drawer-Non-Slip-Toolbox/dp/B07KB4FQ47/ref=pd_ci_mcx_mh_mcx_views_0?pd_rd_w=QZKFE&content-id=amzn1.sym.1bcf206d-941a-4dd9-9560-bdaa3c824953&pf_rd_p=1bcf206d-941a-4dd9-9560-bdaa3c824953&pf_rd_r=B02H9BCNCS907AEK3Y9Q&pd_rd_wg=N1Gsu&pd_rd_r=137d8181-860c-4ed7-bac2-27e95045a30f&pd_rd_i=B07KB4FQ47&th=1  

He had a 60ft roll but this link is to a 6ftx16" role that will work perfectly.  All you need to do is some trimming here and there, use some double sided tape and everything will stay put!!  And I'm still not done....I'm going to find some webbing to install on the front of the storage unit so I can put bug spray, window cleaner, tire pressure gauge, etc etc in it that will be easily accessible and not take up room in the actual unit.  There's plenty of room from where it sits under the seats to add more stuff well organized and easy to get at.  Here's a couple of pics from this evening.  Like I said, the liner looks like crap, so don't judge.  Need more double sided tape....lol...

    • This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.  
    • 2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.  
    • Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
    • Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
