Just replaced my 2018 Silverado with buckets and center console with a 2024 with buckets and center console and hate the new cup holder setup as it's next to the passenger seat, versus next to the driver's seat. There's an area behind the console mounted shifter (next  to the driver's seat) that has enough room to install a cup holder. I'm wondering if anyone's modified the center console to incorporate another cup holder in that location. I'll post an exact location pic tomorrow, just wanted to plant the seed.

This is the one thing missing in my truck. Need a cup holder on the drivers side.  Awkward to reach for a drink right next to passanger's leg. Please keep us updated

I have not seen any mod for this. This is only the second year of production for that console. Many many GM truck owners would kill for a console like that. The older style consoles that preceded this one are selling for over $1000.00 used.

Where that gear shifter is would be a great spot for a cupholder. Maybe they could put that somewhere less in the way. 

 

Like back on the column where it was! 😄

 

Meanwhile the only configuration GM truck I'd buy right now is a HD Silverado based strictly off the center console not having the gear shifter on it and where the trailer brake controller is.

I'm with you on this one! However there were so many guys complaining that GM trucks didn't have a console shifter like Ford did so I guess GM bowed to them.

I don't know if there is enough depth under that spot for a cup holder. It the Denali trim that is where the trailer brake controller is.

I have zero trouble reaching my Yeti or Thermos mug. It's a non-issue for me and I've owned a Ram Limited that had side by side cupholders (rotary gear selector on the dash). Took me about a week to completely get used to the rotary selector and after that I didn't give it any thought.

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.

      loose lug nuts

      By newdude · Posted

      Any grease on the stud threads of any kind?   Wheel studs should have NOTHING on them for proper torquing and so the nuts don't back off.     Are all of the mating surfaces clean?  So wheel, rotor and hub?     We've had plenty of trucks at work with that wheel, this is a first to me.  Makes me think they've got a lube tech putting anti-seize on all the wheel studs or some kind of grease, and they need to stop doing that.  To have 11 other trucks with the same exact problem.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Flynlow · Posted

      I was a Chevy guy for years, then switched to GMC because I liked the looks better.  I'm actually thinking I like the Chevy looks better than GMC for the first time in a lot of years.   One thing I know for certain, the new GMC dash is hideous!  Chevy wins this one!
