Has anyone tried modifying (successfully or unsuccessfully) the center console insert that houses the 2 "storage trays" and a cigarate lighter in a 2004 Silverado? Not sure what other years would be similar. I want to mount a Bearcat Uniden 780XLT scanner in there, but since this scanner is a larger one, I will have to cut quite a bit off the back. Was wondering if anyone else has tried this. If so, would you mind posting some pictures. Thanks.

I've cut out the lower tray to install a 6 disc CD changer and I know others have too, some have mounted DVD players in there and some have installed aftermarket stereos and CB's in there.

That looks pretty sweet! Thanks for the post. The trouble I am running into, is that the scanner I want to put in has enough space width wise, but as far as height is concerned, I think I have to shave some off the top, as well as cut off the hole back part out so the depth of the scanner can fit all the way in. Just wondering if anyone else has tried this. I checked the price of a new console insert at 60 some bucks for a stupid piece of plastic, so I would rather not destroy it if I don't have to :seeya:

I put my XM Commander in that little pockey but had it removed to trade the vehicle in and never got pics of it. Sorry man, but it can be done.

I appreciate the replies. I figured it could be done. Just wanted to see what others have done before I cringe and fire up the dremel tool and start cutting away.

      The Peckish Synapse

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.
