Denali Center console finished


Recommended Posts

Posted

Well, I finally finished the Denali center console and most of the interior upgrades. Check out the pictures and let me know what you think. Putting in the CD Changer & Speakers this weekend.

 

The seats, steering wheel and cluster (this week) are next.

Here is some exterior upgrades.

Truck feels completely different!

 

I have all the stock parts on the used parts page at JP Customs if anyone is interested.

Looks good Jason.  We won't be upset, how much did the whole thing cost you?  Clearly you don't pay list price for anything because you sell stuff for less than that.  By the way, I got the 2001 Denali Console I won on ebay.  It's sweet.  I'm either gonna try to sell it or hold out for a deal on the rest of the parts needed, upper console extension, both bezels, cd player and DIC.

Looks completly different too

 

haha what yr and model is it?  1500 or 2500HD, 00, 02, or an 03

 

Looks great.  Only thing you need to change are the tires!!!   :jester:

JP, Does your driver door woodgrain trim switches have the controls for a four door? , or is it the same layout as the extended cab switches only with the woodgrain?

Lookin' mighty fine JP. Guess you changed out the climate controls about the same time too. By the way, what is the indicator you added above the Passanger Bag Lockout. And, what's next? :jester:

Well, let's see, the truck is now a 2000, 2002 & a 1500/2500/crewcab.  :(

 

Corey 68 - the seats are next. They're getting redone about February. I've never liked the color from the day I brought it home. Why in the #### did I pick that color. That's okay though as now I know the direction I want the interior to look so the new leather will be nice. Probably a Denali match pattern.

 

02Blue - no, haven't done the AC controls yet. It's a future project though. The indicator is for the alarm. I'm still looking for a switch to take it's place. Next up is the cluster, steering wheel and seats. As in major project, probably the suspension lift, body lift, wheels & tires. My tires are getting pretty bald. I've put off the lift because I wanted to get my money out of these tires. No sense in throwing away perfectly good tires.

 

DeezBlueZ - Yes, I have the four door switches, but I'm going to be carrying the switch trim pieces for the pickups. I've never liked only being able to carry the switches and trim for the SUV's and crewcabs. Plus I've never liked the price and the fact that the switches come with the trim pieces. So, look for just the trim pieces (a lot cheaper) to hit the website early January. Also going to be carrying the Trim for the passenger side AC vents and trim behind the inside door handles to match the Denali wood. It will be a nice complete package.

 

RyanbabZ71 - See above

 

Import Hater - yes, the rear audio controls are functional and the rear heated seat switches will be working shortly. I don't like to have any switches that aren't hooked up. If it's in my truck, it's functional. I've added heat to the rear seats, now I just need to hook it up to the switches in the console. It's a little difficult, but I'll have them working very soon.

    • It is possible to add your own 12v outlet to your truck.  Check out this video:   I verified via GM Upfitters that pin 31 is the same on the 1500 trucks.  The wire is GM part number 84779405.   You can get the GM 12v outlet from Amazon  https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Accessory-Receptacle-25774623-13549530/dp/B0F1H9YRGF EWAY 12 Volt Power Adapter for GM   https://www.amazon.com/EWAY-Chevrolet-Silverado-Cigarette-Ignition/dp/B0915RRW6Q/ref=sr_1_1?   I just haven't figured out a good place to put the 12v outlet in my truck.   Some people are getting USB-C to 12V adapters  https://www.amazon.com/WYMECT-Cigarette-Lighter-Socket-Adapter/dp/B0F87WNQKB/ref=sr_1_1_sspa? Not sure if they provide the correct amperage that a device like a tire inflator would need.  
    • Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.
    • This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.  
    • 2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.  
    • Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
