Ok so I have maybe an odd question related to this topic. I just purchased a 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT with center console. I want to switch it to a jump seat though (yes I know.. why would I want to do this! but I have a big family and need that 6th seat sometimes). I see here thats its possible to have it wired from a jump seat to a center console minus the USB ports..... but how hard/easy would it be to configure the wiring going from a center console to a jump seat?

 

can you get all the hookups in the jumpseat to work?

 

Thanks for the help guys.

Should be pretty easy in reverse. What color is your interior? I may do a swap / purchase deal, if you're interested.

I live in chicago IL, I have black interior.... My seats are the heated and cooled perforated seats, would that matter at all swapping to a jump seat?

 

Also I forgot about the subwoofer - I wonder if there is somewhere else I can mount it while still keeping it "hidden"?? Or do I have to remove It completely

wiring for bench seat is on floor near the front right seat and wiring for the console come from the instrument panel so if you want to put a bench instead the console you will have to extend the wiring and run in under the carpet up to the bench seat.......( i can do it easy cause i'm mechanic and very handy but it can be a nightmare for someone who isn't handy and no knowledge...

 

and you will need to remove the front bracket and replace by the cigar lighter tray , if not you will have a big nice hole in the middle of your instrument panel

 

best thing should be to do an exchange with someone who want a console and then you can have everything you need and the other guy too

 

but both will have to modify the wiring

hope it help

Thanks for the info ravageur1972!! yea I am not a mechanic but my uncle is - so I would have him help me. -- in order to get the wiring under the carpet would you have to cut the carpet?

 

also do you have any ideas on how i can keep the subwoofer but still have it hidden? or should i just remove it completely?

for sure you are not suppose to cut the carpet...... may need a micro trim but no cutting

 

stock truck with a bench seat will have the harness running on the right side of truck then passing under the front passenger seat and then to the console....... left to you 2 options: you extend the harness and running it as the original should be or.....under the carpet straight from the middle of dash to the bench seat

second option will be easier but with time ( and sometimes it's ****ing fast ) will cause problem because anything can fall on the harness as it is not hide from foot , boot, bag, etc etc,

 

doing harness as original will take you more time ( to do a really clean job ) but for sure the best thing to do

harness should not interfere with any parts, it's also should not be a problem if you have to change something close to the harness,

 

for the sub ,,,pretty sure you can install it under the bench seat ........some place there ,or under the rear seat on right but you will see it when the rear seat will be raise....

 

again sorry for my poor english . lol i even not understand myself but hope it help

Ok. I received my console this evening and went to removing jump seat. Passenger seat/jump seat are out, but I'm stuck. Evidently they shipped everything but top trim piece. So, how does the new bracket mount? I removed ash tray piece. Also, for the wiring, do I cut the big connector off new console and connector of jumpseat?

The part that was not shipped was 22995086. Does this include the drink holders and front 12v housing etc...?

Again thanks for this great information! My Uncle and I will install it the correct 1st way.

 

Is it somehow possible to make a bracket or something to still have the 110v plugs and usb plugs on the dash you think?

Well I bit the bullet and ordered the 5 main parts for the console from gmpartsoutlet.net. Good news is the price was right. The bad news is they say the console part number is a "future" part that is unavailable from GM. i gave them a part number from their own site! So, now I have 4 pieces to a console and no console on its way..... This has got to be a dealer only item and some of these places are GM parts only sites or something. I am on a roll lately.......

Did you use this #23466980? If you have black interior.

I tried both part numbers listed in this thread for a black console. I ended up getting a console for a Denali or Yukon (part #22995066) and paid even less! I hope there are not many differences. I got the console in and the parts from GM Parts Outlet and everything looks good and fits together. We will find out this weekend if it goes as planned. I got the console from Penske GMC in Torrance, CA off Ebay for $341.83. They even shipped it overnight!!!

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
