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.

      Sure, but they do have some affordable options like the Trax, Trailblazer, Envista, and Encore. Some of these have a cheaper base price than the Civic, though the fuel economy isn’t as high. The main problem is that people WANT the highest trim with all the goodies and finance for like 7 years. That’s how ppl “afford” the more expensive vehicles.

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.
