Hey guys, I just got the truck back from the shop. Had an Audison amplifier put in under the front passenger side. (There was def. enough room since it is a manual moving seat.) I also added 2- kicker compvr 10s and had all the door speakers replaced with 6-1/2" eclipse speakers. I chose to leave the pillar tweaters running off the deck for now. I also opted to have a bass knob for the sub control mounted in the lockable middle floor console. All I can say is wow!! This thing is amazing. I love this Audison amp. Way better than any Alpine or Kicker amp ever owned. I left the stock head unit in for theft deterence and overall looks. I ended up getting everything bought and installed for $1100.00 I had thought about installing myself but opted not to. Any ways, great system and even better truck. :) Give me a shout if you have any questions.

:D I want to put a new system in my truck, the Blose at full volume isn't nearly loud enough for me. Do you have any rattles now that your dash has been ripped up? I hate under the dash rattles plus how do you like the eclipse speakers?

Yeah I didnt have the bose system but the bass from the speakers was horrible and rattled the door a little bit. The new eclipse speakers couldnt be better for how much money i spent. They were originally 150 per pair and i got them for 35 per pair on a closeout deal. The main reason I can say my system sounds amazing is because of the Audison amp. It is amazing. Its only putting out 45 watts per pair of door speakers and 190 watts to each subwoofer. But the sound is so clean and accurate and the subs sound better than my old 600 watt mono kicker amp on two kicker subs. I couldnt be happier. I haven't posted any pics since everyone has seen the dull under the seat box and i didnt get pics of the installation of the door speakers since i didnt do it myself. The only thing i may note is def. check if your amp will fit under the passenger side. It is a much better location for breathing ability and you will always have access to it.

 

I have had one issue with my driver window as of yesterday. It makes some wierd popping sounds when i roll it up and it touches the top. Its like it tries to keep rolling up or something. I am taking it in next friday to the dealer. It has nothing to do with replacing the speakers since the window mech. are shielded.

Does it pop at speed or it doesnt matter? Only reason I ask is on some trucks the cabin pressure differs from outside when at speed and the window might pop when closed.

No it isnt an issue of at certain speeds. Im sitting in park and roll up the window and it reaches the top and just doesnt sound right and then a spring pop happens. It only happens each time i pull up on the switch though.

 

I will be working on getting pictures uploaded soon guys. Keep an eye out for them.

Thinking of doing the same kind of stuff in the same truck. How does the stock head unit do as far as power for everything?

 

I thought the tweeters on the pillars ran off of the speakers in the door. Is there really an out from the head unit to the tweeters?

First of all, i dont have the stock head unit powering anything. It is only powering the stock tweeters in the pillars. I have my audison amp powering the two subs and 4 door speakers. I know it would sound better if i had an aftermarket head unit for the connections purpose but i didnt want to jack the stock look up. Once the system was done the door chimes were incredibly too loud when running through the amp. We switched the fades to power the subs off the front so the tweeter is the only thing playing chimes which is virtually impossible to hear at all along with the seat belt chime. This is the best sounding system I have had in a while and especially for $1100 bucks. I am just hoping the dealer doesn't try to say the window issue is due to my aftermarket speaker install. I dont see how that could be possible since the window mech. are shielded anyways.

I agree...pitiful. I had a custom enclosure built and have a JL 8 inch sub to put under the passenger rear seat of my crew cab, a 450 Alpine mono to run it is being added to the Bose on Friday. I am keeping everything else stock so i dont have any rattles. It will be more than enough for me, had the same done for my '04 and loved it.

      2015 Silverado 3500 right rear turn indicator failure

      By davester · Posted

      consider doing electrical testing?  I would guess some power or ground wire/connection has a problem.   alldata.com has wiring diagrams, connector pinouts and diagnostic procedures you can use to find where the problem is.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      can you tell if the reader is actually trying to get codes, and the pcm is reporting none, or is your reader just silently failing because it's not communicating with the pcm?

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      First off you mentioned "Toyo Says" and then gave the pressures 45/50, was this some person at the tire shop that pulled those numbers out of his head ?   Now of course I can't know your exact axle weights front and rear, however I have much the same pickup as yourself other than not knowing your starting weight as per the pounds the truck rolled out of the factory at due to the options yours did or didn't come with or what you have added beyond the extra tire weight. The correct way to know 100% where a person is at is by weighing each axle with the typical weight the vehicle is driven with and that means taking into account passengers and making sure you figure in a full tank of fuel and a little grace for whatever you may put in the bed "groceries" !    I am looking at and not that it really matters as all the tire companies use the same charts anyway, but I am looking at the comprehensive Toyo tire chart in the section that your tire falls under and I know it sounds confusing but your tire is not an LT metric tire like your factory tire but instead because its a standard inch measured tire its under a different category called an LT floatation series tire. That makes a difference as LT metric tires they don't want to see run below 35 psi at highway speed where as with the LT floatation series it can be run down to 25 psi on the highway as long as the weight on the said size of tire is agreeable with or less than that minimum 25 psi. It blows many people away that how is this physically possible, an empty truck for one thing and larger tires with the same size wheel diameter have a lot more air volume so they can carry the same weight as the smaller tire with less air pressure.    So my truck, I have the stock 275/65R20 wheels and tires and I have a bit of weight in the box with a bak flip cover and a rubber bed mat and some tools and spare gas. The front of my gas truck weighs a bit more than some trucks of the similar spec due to double batteries and alternators. However with full fuel and just me in the truck I am weighted such that I can run 40 front and 35 rear and so that is what I have done since day one.    If I base your truck at or slightly below the weight of my truck, in theory with your tires going by the tire chart you might be right around a minimum of 30 pounds front and 25 pounds rear. Of course that would hit pretty much minimum cold inflation pressure one could run with that tire size and a near empty truck. If you have access to an accurate weigh scale to do individual front and rear axle weights I would suggest you do that and make sure your topped up with fuel and whatever else in the truck before you weigh it and then you will have a great starting point to work off of and figure out what your bare minimum pressures are you can safely run. If you do much in the way of hot weather high speed driving, bumping up a bit for a safety margin is never a bad idea but just depends on what type of driving you do. I will include the Toyo chart and the floatation series sizes start on page 31. Without a doubt at these pressures I am speculating at minimum wise for your truck, it would most certainly ride very different then it did when you were using 55 lb front and rear.     https://www.toyotires.com/media/pxcjubjs/application_of_load_inflation_tables_20200723.pdf
