Those Tahoe-Yukon consoles are made different across the top. The top parts don't mate correctly with your dash. I don't know if you can modify it to make it work or not. Ebay has lots of those Yukon/Tahoe console so one has to be careful.

I always wanted a RCSB with buckets and a center console...   Received and installed mine yesterday. Very straight forward, thanks for all who posted instructions and part numbers.   Possibly to h

Finally the console is complete now ready for the install and see what other problems I run into

For anyone interested. I'm selling the black cloth jump seat that came in my 2015 Sierra SLE. $100 plus $30 shipping. Was only in the truck for three months before I swapped it out using all the help provided in this thread. Thank you guys!!! Below are some pictures. Comes with jump seat, dash panel and dash support leg cover.

Sold it on eBay for anyone still considering. Ya snooze, ya loose. Haha

Installing the console in my 2015 2500 this weekend hopefully. I ordered the top plate with the 110v, although I do not have that plug in my truck currently, only the single cigarette lighter port in that spot. What is the best way to wire the 110v in the new top plate?

I'm assuming you can't just splice and use the 12v hot wire, does there need to be some sort of converter?

I just read this entire post, question when adding a jump seat and taking out the console will the jump seat bolt up to the existing location? I need a 6th seat in my truck at times.

 

Thanks

Timna, it bolts right in place of the console. You also need the "ash tray" and dash piece with cigarette lighter outlet you cover up the empty spot. I'm selling a black jumper seat just removed from my 2015 Silverado

Where are you located? I'd love to put the console in my truck and I'd end up with a jump seat that would be available.

Im in Socal. I am still on the fence about doing it. I read the Bose amp is located in the console so I just need to figure out what to do about that when swapping for the seat.

 

Thanks

Bit far to try and put both trucks in the same driveway and swap pieces. :)

 

If anyone near me (CT) wants to pull out a console and put in a cloth jump seat, let me know. My ideal would be to do a "swap" between truck with someone.

Any updates? Were you able to attempt install this weekend?

 

Also can you provide the part #'s you ordered as well.

 

I see you have a 2500 ... are the consoles, part numbers, etc. any different then the 1500's

 

Looking forward to hearing how it coming along. :)

Were in SoCal ... I am central Cal in Fresno .... how far south are you? I am looking to do this swap and will have a complete black leather jump-seat with console dash piece and all to covert yours to what you need for the 6th seat. I do not need the 6th seat and want to convert to the console. What color is your console? is it the carbon gray color called Synthesis? Thanks

Curious if anyone has attempted this lately and can provide more info etc.

 

Curious to see who has a 2016 that has completed this conversion.

Can someone post the correct part numbers to order this entire console? I have a 2015 and do not need the charging lid since I have an iPhone.

All depends on what trim you want. For example I have the grand lace trim in my doors so I got the grand lace trim in the console.

 

I also have a 2015 and the part numbers I used were.

My doors have the wood trim. I'd want to match. Thank you for posting this list! Is this the complete console?

Just because it has wood trim doesn't mean it is the grand lace wood trim like mine but yes, that is a complete list.... Here is a picture of mine installed. Crappy photo because I just took it with my iPhone in the garage. Furthermore my dealership significantly dropped the price to be competitive with the online stores. 574b3cd47cce792262695f04509df0b6.jpg

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
