Hey folks I need some help. I have a 2009 Sierra and I am working on installing a center console so I can install my radios, light controls, etc. I just spent the last 2 hours tearing my truck apart looking for ways to mount the small metal console without many options other then drilling through the floor on the center hump and bolting it down. I haven't had a chance to jack the truck up and crawl under to see if I can even get access to the area to put bolt nuts on the underside. Anyone have any experience with this?

 

My other issue is getting a place where I can drill a considerable hole somewhere to run all the required cables through. I have seen some people drill next to the brake booster, however I have no clue how I could make the hole with a drill from either side due to room contraints. The other possible idea I came up with today was to drill a hole on the floor board passenger side in the upper corner and run everything in through there. Anyone have any experience with this either through amp install or other accessories? I have been working on this install for the last few weeks and haven't found an easy way to make it happen.

Shoot me a PM about this. I do installs of this type of equipment for a living. I have an 07 Silverado that I have all decked out, so I can give you lots of tips....

      Actually, it probably was the brakes.  It's weird the way the messages came across, but I took it to the dealer thinking that something was wrong with the sensor and in fact, the rear brakes were shot.  What I don't understand is why the messages never said, your brake pads are low.  First I got the message I posted above, taking about new pads being detected.  Then I got a message saying that the system needed repaired.  It never said, change your brake pads.

      Lets Talk Z60 Suspension

      Did the KYBs keep it the same height in the front? I was concerned that pre-assembled assembly would raise it up an inch to standard non-z60 height.. I guess which it would make the rake 1 inch instead of 2 inches.

      Thank you for keeping the train on the tracks and for a thoughtful engagement. I enjoyed the reflection on a previous stance to refine and improve your position. I like that inquisitive flexibility about you Atlas.    No the process isn't sterile. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of miles of piping, vessels, pumps. Chevron, the people I worked for, were keenly aware that there is a market for what is known as their "ISOCLEAN" line of lubricants. These are lubricants that are the same as those sold bulk that are further processed by filtration to a level your particular application demands. They will filter and package and provide lab documentation as required. Do not kid yourself. Every gallon of oil that goes into a Chevron Turbine, reciprocating compressor, generator is prefiltered and tested before being charged. Lest wise it was when I was there in the plants I worked in.    There are requirements set by manufactures for the cleanliness of the oils used in their equipment. OTR such as CUMMINS has standards shared with customers on this. Commercial interest selling to Ma and Pa do, but don't share that information. Not even upon request but internally, they do exist.    The GM study sited, (Graph from Machinery Lubrication in previous post) only shows "relative" importance.  I find that fascinating. By constructing the graph like this they admit there are dozens of factors in engine life and via scientific method determined the effect of 'relative cleanliness' on engine life not in miles but in 'FACTORS'. This allows a certain amount of reverse engineering does it not?   They even provided some touchstones. Beta 75 as a reference point. Wonderful stuff!!   Smaller blenders CAN and some DO take the time and effort to do better than a refinery or large bulk blender, like Warren Oil, in improving the "in the can" cleanliness. No I don't have a list but testing could generate that information.    Again, but one of several levers we can pull to improve engine life. The simplest is keeping a clean work station while doing your own oil changes.
