Hey, i have a 2024 GMC Sierra SLT with the updated dash, Bose system (for what it's worth). Those that have replaced the speakers in the front doors, did you go with a 6x9 or a 6" speaker? If 6x9, what speaker did you choose?

I am going to update the dash speakers to  Audiofrog GS25, and at some point add the GM/Kicker sub under the rear seat.

I put Kicker 6x9's in the front doors of my '19 Sierra and i honestly think they sound better. My truck hd no bose or amp either.

AF GS25 up on top and AF 6x9 in the front doors, JL Audio 6.5 Co-axials in rear doors. GM/Kicker sub under rear seat with bass volume knob in center console.

Did you have any issues fitting the AudioFrog 6x9's in the front doors? 

Pretty much sounds like what i am planning to do to mine. Does it sound pretty good? Do you feel you got your moneys worth?

Sounds good with the bose amp. Got everything from Crutchfield, just needed to change 1 spade connector. I am running the Telsa screen in mine and have the output run through the AUX input in my truck. That way I can use the EQ in the Tesla screen to adjust.

 

Crutchfield sends you the 6x9 adapters. The AF 6x9 holes do not quite line up with the adapters, but that was a simple fix. Just drill a new hole and put a backing nut on it. 3 of the holes line up.

 

Eventually, I will replace the bose amp and go with a 6 channel amp for the speakers. The factory sub and my Kicker seem to work ok together

I put in a Rockford Fosgate 10" integrated sub/amp under my driver's side rear seat and it's awesome, however having some better speakers up front for mid frequencies would be nice if they were plug and play. The bass is a bit overwhelming unless turned all the way down currently.

      Trans Cooler Thermostat Valve Body Seals - 2022 10L80

      By Rick_ · Posted

      Does anyone know if the GM 85628205 and 85628208 are interchangeable?   The 85628205 is an assembly of the seals mated to a thin metal shim and the 85628208 appear to be just the rubber seals without being an assembly. The reason I am asking is that I'm installing a PPE Thermal Bypass Valve and it doesn't come with seals.

      Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thanks @newdude, guess I'll keep looking.  Test driving so many trucks that have obvious things broken, I'm thinking "if they couldn't even be bothered to fix the power seat," what else is broken".   Just drove a 2021 where the power seat motor was grinding/binding and wouldn't do anything but make a terrible sound.   An owner that puts dents on the bumper, doesn't fix a seat motor, and had spotty service intervals (along with missing major services) doesn't give me the best of confidence.   Amazed at the number of people that will finance a $60k+ truck, run it into the ground, then trade with a loan balance (every single one had "loan/lien reported" on the CARFAX at the last year of registration).

      Not true! I have been runing them since 2006 F250! suspension component that works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring points directly to the RoadActive Suspension (RAS) kit. Works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Here's a starter kit:    CC Jensen, a Danish oil testing Concern gives us the following guidelines:   ISO 14/12/10 Very Clean Oil ISO 16/14/11 Clean Oil ISO 17/15/12 Lightly Contaminated ISO 19/17/14 New Oil ISO 22/20/17 Very Contaminated and not suitable for any service.   In addition CC Jensen gives a table showing how engine life is increased by cleaning up the oil. For example cleaning the oil from 19/17/14 to 13/11/8 will extend motor life by a factor of 6X.   But even cleaning it two “Life Extension Classes” will double motor life. So perhaps giving those classes would be useful:   21/19/16 20/18/15 19/17/14 18/16/13 17/15/12 16/14/11 15/13/10 14/12/9 13/11/8   *************************************   https://testoil.com/program-management/setting-iso-cleanliness-targets/   Third paragraph from the bottom will give a starting point.    Your next question should be, okay 10um at what Beta ratio and the answer is in the graph Beta 75.   Then the next question is what is your chosen filters profile? (Purolator PL series below) The red dot is Beta 75. This was the information I obtained from MANN a few years ago. So the best filters, Purolator One, AMSOIL EA, FRAM Ultra, Royal Purple, Bosch Premium should get a doubling engine life over filters like Purolator L, any service filter from any quick lube, WIX, NAPA, STP, Mobil 1, Purolator BOSS.    And as noted by CC Jensen a 2-5 micron @ Beta 200 bypass system has the capability of a six fold improvement. AMSOIL has such a system as does Donaldson.       Now having said all that testing is the touchstone. Test the oil NEW and test it with your chosen filter. Then test over milage. Do the work, get the result. But understand this in NOT absolute BECAUSE this is one factor in isolation.   Example:    A valve spring supplier can state that with cam X and a valve train of Y grams the valves will not float to 7K rpm. is that true if the builder choose a system 20 grams over limit? Common sense must be used and limits understood.

      This doesn't look like a GM truck. Not needed on a HD truck
