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

If I'm reading this thread correctly there are two additional bolts that the center console is mounted with but not the jumpseat. Do I really need those and if so can I get them at a hardware store or do I have to order them through GM?

We talk about the 2 bolt that secure the front console to dash......2x m6x1 with washersome

They bolt in the bracket you install instead the ashtray......you can install them or not but not having they will loose the front of console and making noise....so for about 10 cents it is a great addition you may take consideration

The wiring will be fun. It is possible to take the wiring out of the big connector on the console and use the connector/harness for the jump seat to place those wires in to avoid cutting anything? Basically replace the connector.

Got the 4 bolts out in preparation for tomorrow when I'll do the swap. What a pain.

In the process of removing the jump seat and I'm having a heck of a time getting the wiring harness disconnected from the area under that carpet square! Same with the USB right next to it. On mine there's a red retaining clip on the harness connector that I've already undone but the harness won't come out. The USB looks like it has a red clip as well that you push sideways but again it won't come out.

I was hoping to avoid that but if I need to I guess I will. :)

What size torx bit do I need to remove the back seat bolts?

T-50 torx socket to remove the seat.You'll be glad you pulled the seat.makes life much easier.The large connector has basically a lever that hinges back and pops the connector open,once the seat is out of the way it will be obvious.Dont worry about the seat belt there is plenty of slack to take the seat out with it connected.Don't stress over the swap just take your time,A bonus to removing the seat is it makes it real easy to vacum the carpet when you're done!If you get stuck take a break grab a cold beverage and read through the thread again.I believe everyone has had success.It realy is an easy process. Have fun

Got the console in! I ended up using a T-47 bit to get the bolts out for the seat.

 

I ended up splicing the jump seat and console harnesses together like a Y and connected everything. The usb connection in the jump seat is connected to the front 3 USB. All 3 charge and all 3 play music. Both cig ports on the front work. I didn't test the 110v plug since it was plug and play. Both cig ports work in the console. The USB in the console isn't yet but that's because I don't have the USB cable connected to the HMI yet. I ran out of time today plus the weather was crappy. I can access the USB cable from the console easily though once I take off the side panel. I'm confident it will work unless it's a programming thing. The wiring is spliced with the front USB port wiring and I know that works.

 

I couldn't bolt the from two floor bolts as the holes didn't line up. Getting the passenger seat back in was a PAIN!!everything is back together and the console looks nice!! The LED is wired up to one of the cig ports but I didn't realize that I picked one that requires the truck to be on. Oh well. :).

 

Thanks everyone for your help!!

Hey, I was wondering if there is a post with the Jet Black Interior Center Console. Since I've been looking for them everywhere and can't find the part numbers for them! Also, what do I have to do in order to install my center console? Maybe a Step post? If you guys could help me out, I would really appreciate it! Thanks!

The part numbers listed above includes the jet black console. That's what I have.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      True. My statement needs qualification. "For a shade tree mechanic, re-assembling the front engine to achieve a rough baseline timing of 0 degrees, as is approximated and indicated by common visual indicator mark alignment, measured with a human eye capable of 20/20 vision *with correction, I am reasonably confident that I have followed the outlined procedures/ prescribed methods for verifying baseline timing."   😉   In the end, the computer sets the timing, it's continuously variable based on sensor input, and the distributor only has a degree or two of physical adjustability intended for dialing in the final setting for cam ****** once everything is back together. But even that final value is acceptable within, I believe, +/- 3 degrees.   I thought my exhaust project was going to be a bear. To my surprise, the old clamps came right off last night, and I was able to unbolt all the hangers instead of having to muscle the rubber mounts. The old cat is ready to slip off the factory y-pipe. The rest is ready to come out with one or two cuts, and I've got a fresh blade waiting. I love living where rust isn't a thing.

      PF63 Oil Filters Going Away?

      I work at a Chevrolet dealership & hear it all believe me.  Just reads like there's going to be a fist fight over filters.  Can't get enough, continue!!

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I just can't think of the exact term GM uses for that higher gvw package without looking at the website but basically sort of a trailering package and I imagine it may also have been created to skirt around the licensing fee differences between a3/4 and 1 ton that apply in some states although ironically I believe in some states its the reverse that a 1 ton is the cheaper truck to license over a 3/4 ton. It makes no difference here in Alberta but oddly enough a 1 ton through my insurance company is a bit cheaper to insure over a 3/4 ton as its based on the insurance statistics they generate.    For sure when ever you do have the chance to weigh your truck and to be fair, try to have the fuel tank full or nearly so rather than give yourself a false sense of the truck being lighter by having an almost empty tank.    In my other comment I was mentioning stock sized tires and partly in case someone was reading this and thinking they could lower their pressure down to what your aftermarket tires are able to do with your empty truck as that is a vastly different picture in the leeway you have to play with for running minimum pressures while remaining safe. I will say also that its easy to see from reactions of truck owners that may have been more used to owning a half ton in the past or a car and be it on a forum like this or in person etc that they get so wrapped up in that placard pressure sticker that they can't get their head wrapped around the fact that an HD truck due to how much it can carry can also vary the tire pressures drastically lower than those pressures ( typically more so for the rear axle on stock sized tires ) when empty vs some car that isn't made to carry much so the tire pressures can't be lowered since it needs almost that much pressure just to carry the empty car.    If I ever do find myself in the states with this truck, I will only be too happy to switch it over to the US measuring system as then I will understand all the dash readings. The only thing that is off for me slightly with US measurements is US miles per gallon as I grew up with the Imperial gallon and to this day up here anyway speak in Imperial miles per gallon ( I don't do that on this forum though as that would confuse everyone for no good reason ).

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Yes that's right, it's the upgrade that includes the overload spring and all that stuff.   Someday when I'm empty and going by a scale I'm going to stop in and get some weight readings.   Exactly  you should have the ability to change individual settings, in in Canada so I'm driving with kph but then I'm stuck with kpa when I want psi lol
