I have seen at least 4 different consoles listed in various places. Is there a difference between the LT2 consoles??? I have found some that are listed as EXT and some that are listed as crew. Is there a way to tell shy of a measuring tape?? I know that an LTZ will fit in the seats but won't match up to the dash. And does anyone know the part number of the assembly?? GMPD has it broke down in its schematic into 25 seperate pieces. I need an ebony for an SLE dash.

I'm trying to fancy this thing up a bit so that it keeps my interest.....I'm about ready to trade it in...I'm bored with it.

I was under the impression there are only 2 types of floor consoles, but 2 of each of those.

 

1. Luxury Dash Console (LTZ, SLT), then maybe a different trim for Denali.

 

2. True Truck Dash/Console. One might have rear entertainment controls, while the other doesn't. I'm not positive on that.

 

I ran out to my garage to take some pictures of mine. SLE, truck dash, no controls in the back, titanium grey interior. Sorry it was early and dark in the garage. I'm guessing you have the truck dash and would need the same console that I have. I can't imagine ext. cab (which mine is) is any different than CC because the consoles end after the front seats which have the same dimensions.

Why GM... Why did you get rid of rear vents and controls for the trucks???? lol

 

I would have bought my truck with a center console if they didn't.

Hell no! :wtf:

 

You could never imagine how hard it was to find a leftover 2010 SLE (with huge discounts and rebates), with buckets and full console, and navigation, backup camera, and remote start.

I added the full console to my 08 Sierra that has the true truck dash. Unless something has changed, it's not available as an assembly from GM. I found a new take-out on ebay. The correct full console for a true truck dash does not connect to the dash, it butts against it. Here's an in-progress install pic (disregard the dirty floor liners):

The console I have is from a 2010 2500. I got it for $425 on ebay last March (the pic above is from last April). The seller was B and B Wholesale...at the time, they had a bunch of this same console. Aside from colors and rear audio controls, there are basically two types of consoles...long and short. The short version is, by far, the most common and is for trucks that have the "upscale" dash with the extended center section. The longer version is for the "true truck" dash and is what I have and what you will need if you want the setup I have. It shouldn't matter which vehicle the console comes from (1500, 2500, etc.). I checked ebay almost daily for a year and a half before I found a long version in ebony. I don't know if the newer ones are different. You could PM moderator MS3DALE (Rich) and he could tell you...he's a Parts Manager at a dealership.

Here's a pic to show you how to spot the short version. The short one will have a square notch on the top front and the front trim will be a separate piece. The long version...the one you need for a TT dash...will be all one piece and won't have that large notch.

You're in luck...there's one on ebay right now:

 

ebony console

 

 

hey, thanx for the fast response and yes that is the one i have been watching on ebay as well, does the front of urs look just like that one, for some reason it doesnt look like it would match the vents underneath the dash, and it also mentioned that this one has a different type of wings that go under the dash, srry for all the questions but what should i be looking for on the back of the console if i have an extended cab ex. cup holders, aux or... the sellers arent really that much help they just said to check dealership for fitment

Yep, my console is exactly the same as the one in the ebay listing...actually, it's the same seller that I bought from. If you have the true truck dash, this is the console you want.

 

For the back of the console, I have this version with the cup holders. I don't know what's involved with adding the rear audio controls. The one I bought had a wiring harness that plugged right into my existing harness (from the jumpseat).

 

Hope this helps...if you have more questions, ask away! :crazy:

      It varies a ton around me. Some places are still at $5.00 or higher and others are way down into the $4's.   Offroad diesel was $4.02 at the one station I passed today.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Hdwrguy · Posted

      So after reading the reveal from Chevrolet, I kept asking myself...why did the trim levels change?   Here are the official ones:   Work Truck (WT): The quintessential fleet truck, built with durable, easy-to-clean interiors for commercial or utilitarian use. Custom: A stylish, road-oriented trim that adds a more refined appearance, standard dual exhaust, and modern exterior styling. Custom Trail Boss: An entry-level off-roader featuring a 2-inch factory suspension lift and 34-inch mud-terrain tires on a budget. Silverado: Serving as the new base consumer truck (replacing the previous LT trim), it comes standard with the Z71 off-road package when equipped with 4WD. Trail Boss: Steps up the off-road hardware with the 2-inch lift, 34-inch tires, monotube shocks, an exclusive off-road hood, and more premium interior options. ZR2: The flagship off-roader. It boasts 35-inch mud-terrain tires, Multimatic DSSV dampers, front and rear electronic lockers, forged carbon-fiber interior accents, and an available hardcore Bison Edition (co-developed with AEV). High Country: The pinnacle of luxury. It replaces bright chrome with modern satin chrome, 22-inch wheels, premium leather, real wood interior trim, a panoramic sunroof, and an exclusive front-passenger touchscreen. As others have stated, why would you want a Silverado - 'Silverado' - wth?? LT needs to remain!!!   Also, there will no longer be a dedicated Z71 model.  All 4x4 trucks will have the Z71 package. Carplay is also something that cannot be removed.  Hopefully it will remain.     I am excited about the 5.7L V8 (350 C.I.D.)  Old school Chevy power.  My only concern is whatever version of AFM/DFM cylinder deactivation.  Too bad that isn't an option a buyer can choose to have or not.   I will definitely be stopping by my local dealership when these trucks start showing up.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      The not as clean as one would assume theme with the new engine oil, that reminds me of comments over the years with mechanics not always being so on board with filling an oil filter, not from the center anyway due to that typically being the clean side of the filter, danger of some contaminant falling into the filter if not careful but the realization now that the oil may not be as pure as one had assumed it would surely be. Yes it would be possible to fill from the small holes but that means messing with something to prop open the anti drain back valve if the filter is so equipped and not damage that valve in the process. Me, I have hardly ever prefilled an engine oil filter however I have prefilled diesel fuel filters with a filter on a fuel bulk tank and for anyone that has messed with diesel engines with filters and units that have a limited or no way of priming them, putting on a dry filter is a bad day to say the least with those crappy systems. But anyway back to not so clean engine oil, indeed perhaps its not so bad after all that I have not made a practice of prefilling oil filters.    As Grumpy Bear commented on keeping things clean, that I really have to wonder what the typical practice is at a dealer or any other shop that changes engine oil, do they make sure to wipe or wash off the oil plug and certainly if it fell into some gunk or onto a dirty floor, or that they wiped the filter mounting flange and didn't go and use some dirty rag and end up adding dirt to the inside of the head of the filter mount. Or be careless in how they stored or handled the new filter and if they were bumping into items under the vehicle with the filter opening facing up and having dirt drop right into the filter and if so right into the threaded center that is on the clean side. The top side, did they clean away the built up gunk that may be around the filler before removing the cap or to be really careful at that point that something right close to the filler hole that was hidden under the caps flange won't fall into the engine. Or did they clean the funnel or was that just laying there covered in oil from the oil change before and dust kicked up from sweeping the floor stuck to the oil and now that will go running into the next persons engine due to just not cleaning the funnel as "they won't know anyway" attitude as that young guy is more worried about taking a break so he can go outside and smoke a joint. Just random points that came to mind when I think about what some hired personnel may do that the shop foreman has no idea of or perhaps the whole attitude of some shops may be "eh ... who cares, they will never know the difference anyway".
