I've seen a few pictures of Manual Transfer cases being modified. Has anyone found a good method of doing this? Maybe adding a extension so you can keep the side panel of the center console on?

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

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

That's what mine has.

 

I'll contact my local dealer to see if they will be competitive. Thank you!

 

Do you still have your part number list?

My three USB ports in the front don't work which doesn't bother because I intend on turning that into the location for my off-road lights switch. The wiring harness comes with the console but you have to splice the old harness to the new harness. It's not a simple plug n play, however all the wire colors were the same so it wasn't hard to figure out

For the light inside the console compartment, you have to run the wire from the front 12v socket to have light anytime the lid is open.

 

Read the entire post here....every parts. Accessories and installation instructions are write-down here

Thank you everyone! I have a parts inquiry to my dealership. It seems like I would get bent over on shipping if I order online. :(

So it looks like my discount price from my dealer for all of these parts will still be over $700 :(

Installed my console last weekend.I powered up my front usb ports instead of the ones inside the console since they are easier to access when you're driving.If anyone would like to do it this way it's really easy.Remove the entire harness from the jump seat and you will have the right plugs on that harness to plug right into the front usb's(plug and play)they charge and play music. .there is plenty of length to reach without cutting.then just splice the new console harness in to power up the 12v outlets and light in the console(I spliced everything in just because I was already into it and I want as much to work as possible.On mine all colors matched with the exception of the 12v+ but those are obvious since they just go to the 12v power ports.The white wire that doesn't match anything is for the light in the console,just connect to the 12v source of your choice .I expect that with the addition of the usb cable others have mentioned the usb ports inside the console could be used for charging if it was important to you.

Sorry for the long post.Hope someone can use it.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
