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.

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.

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

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      NewDude, thank you for the suggestions!    I did follow up and the dealer indicates he has an open CX case and is working with DPAC (Dealer Parts Assistance Center).   Per the dealer, GM has had a quality spill and is not providing an update for when a replacement engine will be available.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      By Silver Yeti · Posted

      That's interesting.   There was a factory wire-hole in the back, top of the rear cab, which had a wire for the third brakelight assembly running through it, as well as several holes (10 of them I believe) for all of the studs coming off of the 3rd brakelight assembly itself.   I sealed all of those holes with RTV/silicone as well.   I found it kind of odd, that none of those holes, were sealed with any kind of sealant by the factory - if there was any there, it wasn't very much.   That said, I've been out in heavy rain and have ran the truck through high-pressure car-washes a few times now and she has been 100% water-tight to this point.   I feel very confident in the repair, we'll see how it holds up.

      2024 Silverado 2500 HD with the 6.6 Gas (L8T) Engine

      By Jay-22-2500 · Posted

      I bought a used 2022 2500hd with 6.6L in February. In March took a 2200 mile trip towing our 6500 lb trailer. Changed the oil day before leaving and when we were arriving at our 1st destination, low oil light came on (roughly 1000 miles) it was 2 qts low. Now it towed like a dream, no issue there, and we did go through the mountains of TN, but still, 2 qts! Luckily I did purchase an extended warranty. Brought it to the dealership in April, oil change and consumption test. Brought it back last week, 1300 miles, no towing, and no oil showing on the dipstick. GM is reccomending a new engine (cheaper than them rebuilding), we'll see if the warranty company comes through.

      T3's and Ibuprofen. I do have a cryotherapy unit (ice machine) and a lift chair that will allow me to raise my legs above my heart.  There are topicals that I can use once the wound is fully healed.
