    Lets list some things that we've found out about our trucks that not everyone may know about.

    On the 07-08 the ignition automatically cranks as soon as your key powers the starter. You can twist the key, let go, and it will crank till your engine starts.

    If you hold down the radio power button when the truck is off, the time will eventually show up.

    You can eject CDs, but not load them, without a key in the ignition.



    Anything you guys got?

    If you have a 40/20/40with the folding armrest in the 04-07s, you can grab the front bottom lip of the seat part of the arm rest and pull up ( kinda hard) the seat pops off and there is area you can store stuff like guns, faceplates for radios, or other small valuables.

    It's hard to explain, y'all need a pic?

    So you said 04-07s, no 08 or you don't know? I'll have to find out for myself then.

    This is the part you removed, In the front the metal slips into a rubber slot, and in the back it hooks in.
