    Well done and very clean install ! The trim levels on this series of trucks baffles me concerning options. Your RST does not have either a brake controller or the 110 outlet, yet my LT does.....

    Thank you for sharing ! The new consoles are a definite step backwards, from the custom models that don't open to the tiny cup holders for beer can sized drinks.

    You got close but didn't go all the way. What about the badge on the lower right hand corner ? It would really be clean without that one too. Not trying to be a wise guy, just wondering why you left that one there. I am considering cleaning up my tailgate too.

    Chevyguyy2, If you don't mind please PM me the dimensional drawings. I swapped the full console into my 2018 LT and sure miss it on my 2018 LT. If I can find a 2020 full console at a reasonable price I will be putting it in my 2020. In the meantime your solution looks like my best best. I also miss the power fold, turn signals, and paddle lamps of the DL3 mirrors I put on my 2018. It amazes me that in this day and time when every cheap vehicle sold now has turn signals on the mirrors Chevy chose to skimp on this feature. The "Task Lighting" on the front of the new mirrors baffles me. Thank yo for sharing your solution !

    Actually the 2018 was built at the Ft. Wayne plant. Up until yesterday morning when I shredded them I had the papers to prove it.

    Looking at my other options, I decided to try again. Fords, Dodges, and Toyotas don't trip my trigger. The new one was built in Mexico. Maybe I'll get lucky !

    Actually Thursday, but had my 2018 Crew Cab LT towed to the dealer for the third time and traded for my 2020 Crew Cab LT.

    After my 2018 Silverado got towed out of my driveway for the third time in 24,000 miles for a no start condition... I made a change !

    All have their opinion. I personally just bought a 2020 LT with 17" wheels. I don't like the hoopie with rubber band tire look and the larger sidewalls on my tires can absorb some of the impact before it gets transferred to the wheels. As an added bonus the 17" wheels are usually the lightest you can get from the factory. Another pet peeve I have the the design of some wheels. A wheel with 6 lugs should have a spoke count that is multiple of 6. 5 and 10 spoke 6 lug wheels are out of whack for me.

    2018 Silverado 1500. 5.3 liter, 3.42 rear end, 6 speed. 58 mile round trip commute which includes everything from stop and go in traffic to 75 MPH on 15 miles of Interstate with stop and go there too (I-10 Bayway over Mobile Bay). On the Chevy app it shows 22.0 MPG lifetime at 23,603 miles. 400 mile average shows 24.3 this morning. I don't bother to hand calculate.

    Park the truck in the shade. Wet the front end down. Spray on some Wesley's Bleach White. Let it work for a couple of minutes and the rub it with a wet mircrofiber towel. Make sure to wash all traces of the Westley's off with soapy water. Bugs are highly acidic. Westley's is high alkaline. Westley's neutralizes the acid in the bugs and they come off.

    "They " don't make the harnesses. GM corporate and dealerships will tell you it can't be done. The guy that started this post 67 pages ago makes them. One guy, his sideline. He has been generous enough to share his knowledge time after making modifications using his own truck as a test mule. Your only hope is that Phil (HarnessDr.com) and/or Tinkeringfox will get crazy and trade their trucks for a new model and start the experimentation again. Thanks again Phil, all 3 of the harnesses I purchased from you are still going strong !! Seriously thinking about number 4, the dimming mirror upgrade !

    Maybe to the paint scheme, but a real big no friggin' way to the oversize wheels and tires. Just no.

    Another big Thank You to Phil Gamboa !! Well worth buying the complete harness to have things go so smooth. DL8 to DL3 swap took me about an hour and a half taking my time. All functions working as they are supposed to. The power fold will take some getting used to ! Only problems encountered were working with old eyes and progressive lenses focusing in the door jambs and getting the old harnesses stuffed in the box to ship back for the refund !! Now I've got 3 of Phil's harnesses in my truck. First was the jump seat to console and now one in each front door for the mirror swap. Thinking about the auto dim rear view mirror since the DL3 driver's mirror a got is auto dim ready........ Thanks again Phil for sharing your knowledge and time for these upgrades !!

    Equals 1FunCobra !! Enjoy ! The truck pulled great up to around 3500-4000 RPMs but with the profile of a brick and the restriction in air flow caused by the Motorcraft 2 BBL, stock air cleaner, and functioning EGR valve pushing the pedal much further had limited returns. It was fun in the mud !

    What are you putting the 351M in ? Had one in a 77-1/2 F-250 4 wheel drive. Ran a Crane Econopower cam with adjustable push rods and the stock 2 BBL Motorcraft carb with some wicked advance on the distributor. With 4.10 gearing and 36 in Grad Prix tires that lightweight surprised lots of folks.

    My experience was that there was interference with a wiring harness and it was a real pain reaching up under there. 1/4" shallow socket on a ratchet was so tight it kept reversing itself on the back side of the dash and ratcheting wrench could only take small bites. Since you will already have the trim bezel and the radio screen removed why not take four more screws loose and make things easy? Once you have the trim bezel off you'll see what I'm talking about. Your hands will also thank you. It also opens things up so you can see better routing for the USB cable you have to run to the HMI. The most worry-some part of the whole job for me was getting the radio trim bezel off. I thought for sure I had snapped it 3 or 4 times but it was just another clip coming loose. I found it easier to start at the bottom and work up. Slow and steady pressure worked for me. If you are unsure of what you are doing take a picture of every step of disassembly for reference. It forces you to focus on the job one small task at a time instead of being overwhelmed by the whole thing.

    I did mine without removing any bolts from either seat. From start to finish removing jump seat to console installed in just under 2 hours. I had previously installed then removed the same console from my RCSB so I had a feel for what I was doing, plus I've been working on cars for 47 years. The one thing I do recommend removing is the multi-function switch under the head unit. It makes installing the front console bracket so much easier ! Move both seats all of the way back and remove the front jumpseat bolts, then move both seats all of the way forward and remove the rear jumpseat bolts. Roll the jumpseat on it's nose. Reach under the passenger seat and pull the little piece of plastic that the jumpseat connectors are clipped to off of the studs it slips over then disconnect them. The rest is in Phil's video. Doing it my way there is no risk of scratching the door jambs with the seat tracks when removing the seats from the truck. You don't have to pick up and move the seats. And you don't disconnect the airbags and risk upsetting the airbag gods. I'm 60 years old, 5'10", and 185 # so no spring chicken. By the way, I used no power tools.

    Wish i had a better picture but I no longer have the truck. This is what the console should look like in a regular cab. This was a 2016 RCSB WT. The cab is the same as the 2500. Initially I had some fitment problems like this because of interference with a wiring harness near the top mounting holes of the front bracket so I pulled the multi-function switch out to see what the problem was. Once I cleared the harness out of the way the bracket pulled up tight. It's also a heck of a lot easier to get to the 2 upper bolts with the switch out of the way.
