The only thing my 2023 Silverado 1500 LT is lacking is cup holders. Cup holders big enough to fit my Nalgene water bottle. What solutions are you guys using?

i use this one:

Amazon.com: BottlePro (2-Pack) - Adjustable Cup Holder Adapter, Compatible with 32/40 Ounce Hydro Flasks, Iron Flasks, Takeyas, Simple Modern, Nalgenes, Fifty Fifty, Thermoflasks, Klean Kanteens : Sports & Outdoors

 

 

Have 2 in my wife's traverse and one in my silverado. It telescopes at just the right spot so it's not too high, and if it's a little loose in some holders, you can put a beer cozie on it for a snug fit.

I used drink holders that fit the cup holders and get larger from there. Some are completely sealed so they don’t leak. I have about a dozen. My kids default presents for dad. Seems easier than fitting the holder to the drink container. Find the container to fit the holder. Two pieces instead of three.

😏

Gal at the drive though says, "Ya want a drink carrier?" 

"No thanks, the one I paid $40K for works just fine".

 :wtf:

LOL First world problems! What did everyone do before the 90s? My 85 Camaro IROC has ZERO cupholders. That's what passengers or between your legs was for!

When I lived in Texas, decades ago and would get stopped I'd ask the cop to hold my beer while I look for my license. :crackup:

 

For a while someone made a cup holder that hung from the inside of the driver's windowsill. Thermos between my knees worked fine for me.

My first was a plastic device that stuck on top of my dash. My coffee cup would clip to it by sliding in. You raise the back and pull out. At that time period my cold drink was Diet Coke. I had a six pack cooler that sat on the floor behind my feet.

Went to Pep Boys and got one of those cup holders that hung on the door from the window channel

    • Paid $2.72 for E85 today.
    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
