I realized that my friends escalade console had the same color plastics/vinyls/leather as my tahoe.  I've hated my console since the day I got the car.  The stealership wants $475 for one part, $875 for another part, and $2063.82 for the main part of the console.  This is not including clock/changer/trip computer etc.  Just the console.  Even GMPartsdirect it is like 2 g's.  No junkyards around my part have any Letsgetlades right now.  Any ideas?  Any help? Thanks.

I feel your pain. I am currently trying to do the same thing to my 2500HD.  Basically what I've been told is, GM charges so much for the console because they don't want us to be able to upgrade our trucks.  What they really want is for us to actually BUY the Sierra Denali or Escalade etc.  I almost bought the sierra denali instead of my 2500HD crew cab but, I really wanted a crew cab.  I have talked to 1 guy so far who has done a complete install.  He only paid about $500 total because he knew someone at a junkyard that just happened upon a wrecked denali.  Keep looking, I know I will.

Difference between regular console and the escalade console is the fact that the tahoe's is a plastic piece of crap..and the escalade is a nice leather wrapped that you can actually use as an armrest...one is junk one is player...im tryin to find junkyard ones but i have a feeling those guys are gonna know what they have too and there wont be much bargaining room..i dunno...thanks for the replies..keepem coming.

The best I can do for now is to tell you to check out JPCustom.com.  Jason has a mostly complete console, minus the upper bezel, professionally painted to match graphite interior for sale for $2500. He offered it to me the other day and I declined.  My wife WILL divorce me if I spend that kind of money on a f'in center console for my $35000 truck.  You'd think for that kind of money we shouldn't even be having this discussion huh?  GM bullshhhhhttt

I've seen plenty at the scrapeyards I went to when hunting down a suburban console...

 

I didn't get one because I'm painting the one red to match my dash, and it would be hard to paint the escy console.

Hey guys, just finished the console upgrade. Talk about a job. Had to make three custom wire harnesses. About 25 wires. Got everything working perfectly except the rear audio controls. Just a word of advise, if you end up getting one of the consoles, buy the rear audio controls from a Suburban or Tahoe. The controls look the same, but the Denali/Escalade and the Tahoes/Subs have two totally different units. My rear audio controls are from the Caddy and they won't work correctly in the trucks. It's that crazy Bose amp in the Caddy's.

Turned out really good!! I'll be posting pics soon.

I started doing the console because I was going to offer it as an upgrade and had to figure out what all I would need for it.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ you don't even want to know. I don't think I'll be offering this as an upgrade due to the cost for one, but the custom harness was crazy.

Love the console!!! They should have offered it as an option as it would be worth the extra money (not $3000 though).

Very sweet, but keep your eyes out. They pop up every so often.

If you can find a dumb junkyard you may be able to get one for a steal. Other than that, just ask for the parts for X-mas.  :devil:

Jason, since you spent all of that time setting up the trick Denali center console, you've got to be on your way to get the auto climate control from a 02 Denali/Yukon in there right?

 

Christ, I didn't realize that console was so costly.  Guess I'll have to start treating mine a little better...

      DTC P2C48 auxiliary cooling pump

      I tried tapping it.  This might sound like a dumb question, you should feel vibration or some type of noise when it turns on? Can someone please verify? Thank you all!

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I feel better now for my own view point and actions or lack there of towards the dealership service theme reading your post and others. GM corporate is who offers the two free oil changes on the HD trucks and I bought my truck in Feb of 2025 and those oil change offers run out within 2 years I believe and I highly doubt I will be using either one of them. I had asked if I could officially give those free services to another customer ( a friend ) and they said no, its all a GM corporate thing based on the vehicle in question. What that service advisor did however was go into a little story about how such and such customer was denied engine warranty because he had done his own oil changes because then they are not documented ... you see where that goes and so an employee playing the game of scaring the customer into having the service work done there most certainly triggered my thought process. At a later date I did talk to the person who handles warranty claims at the dealership and she said to be sure to document the oil changes and keep receipts for the oil and filter ( coped the receipts from cases of Mobil oil and case of filters I bought from them ) and the vehicles VIN, the date of service, mileage etc and staple that together as a record I would give them if that was ever needed and I keep my own log book for services for each vehicle as well. Oh and about 8 months after I bought the truck the dealer starts calling me to offer a maintenance service since they haven't seen my vehicle show up on their system ... for the mere fee of 300.00 Canadian to change the oil and rotate the tires and a few other minor checks and I declined the offer, I get the call again a couple of months later for the same thing and she could tell I was not interested and she asked if they should take my name off the call list and I said yes, do that !.    By the way did you happen to keep your factory oil filter to open it up and see the surprises inside as I expect some will show up as per the odd little sliver of metal shaving and particles that the filter does trap along with bits of grey silicone sealer that come off of the inside edge of mating surfaces. I have cut open every filter so far on my truck although few miles but have changed the oil often and the second filter was vastly better with very little of anything, that first filter was the unsettling one as I expected it would be.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I get why they do this…but man…not ideal. I only extract on inboard boat engines because the drains are buried and even then I hate it because it’s easy to leave a quart behind with that method.   They should market it as an “oil refresh” not oil change!

      I only get oil changed where I can watch. Valvoline pulls through the dipstick into a see thru glass. When done they show me the dipstick. About the only way they can mess up is using the wrong oil. But that secret wouldn’t stay secret long. Honda uses TQ wrenches on everything. You can watch through a plate glass window. Discount tires does that with tires. Trust but verify.

      I would not argue that with you. It would be pointless to argue against the truth and you speak the truth.    My question and in fact the entire point of this thread is an exploration into the levers of wear which happens no matter how well we maintain our powertrains.    Some of these levers we exert a good deal of influence over which can and do result is lower wear, longer powertrain life. Some others we are sort of stuck with.    An engine is typically done when the ring to bore seal no longer is able to do the job effectively. Normally the first thing to go in a engine otherwise well maintained and adult driven is this seal.    Looking into the means, methods, products and attitudes that influence the rate of wear seems a worthwhile inquiry to me.
