I recently purchased a jump seat from a fellow member schlegle1 and it had arrived today. As you all can imagine my key would not obviously work in it. When I do not have to go to work I am always carrying a firearm on my person. With that being said not all place are legal to carry so I would have to leave it in the truck. I am really big on security as my whole job is just that, so I find it highly un-acceptable to leave a loaded easily in reach. Some may argue that they will get in the console anyways and they are completely right, but i will put up as many barriers as possible to make it just more difficult. My dealer surprisingly offered to do this for me for free, but i am very impatient when it come to services as I am a huge DIY guy. As stated before my job is security for the government so I have worked on many high security safes and locks as I run many key registries and repined multiple high security locks, so how hard can a plastic console lock be right? So lets get on track with the how to. Below is a picture of my lock that i have already removed.

to dissemble you have to remove the c-clip and lock bar. the component retain the lock plug in the lock position of it would come out when you remove the key.

Sadly but expected the lock is so cheap that you can manipulate the key in and out slightly while applying pressure. This is similar bump keying a lock. doing allows you to use the key cut to move the waffers to align them to be able to spin the plug. Once turning hold key in place and the plug will come out with the key.

The lock is actually capable of having 5 waffers and springs. the more waffers or pins the more secure the lock will be. These locks come with only 3.

here is a picture of what is a waffer and spring as you notice it is not a pin at all hence the term I am using. The spring goes into the slot in the plug and the wafer rests on top. You do not have to worry about them flying out as they have a detent thet when press into its location it will not fall out unless you pull it out.

as stated before the lock only comes with three wafer in use. Keys are usually only cut with 9 different depth per pin/wafer. High security locks a different angle and more cuts, but with make it lot more finicky as a side load from a heavy key ring on a lock with tight tolerance potentially would not open. At this point you can use a set of needle noses to pull the wafer out and move them around to the 5 slots to match the right depth on your key.I was able to use two wafers with my cut.

Below you can see the wafer to the right is a bit to high so it will not work.

to reasemble place the key in the plug and line up the notch on the plug to cylinder and reasemble the lock bar and c-clip.

I hope this helps someone as am very picky to the fact that if I am going to upgrade part like this they will work 100% as intended. Is obvious when some just throws something together with little details like this. Again i hope this helps, enjoy.

BTW if you do not fill comfortable doing this send me a pm and you can mail me your lock a cut key for your truck that does not have the chip (cheap hardware store copy) with the head cut off so it cannot be used and I will complete this for just the cost of postage. I stand twelve hour watches and would love to do these in the middle of the night bored of my a$$ lol.

I know this is a super old thread but I bought a console from a 2016 I believe and welded brackets on it to fit my 06 Gmc Sierra 1500. The pictures won't load for me. if anyone can load the pictures I would appreciate it.

Are you still in the service? If I can't figure this out can I still send it to you? I was a Sonar technician on Nuclear Submarines from 2009 to 2014. Now I'm a Corrections Officer.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
