OK.. mine's in.   Here's a writeup, cos I haven't seen one so far.   1. remove the "ash tray" and cig. ligther in your dash with 3 t-10 torx screws, and 2 clips. 2. Remove the radio trim, clips i

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

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

make sure you get flat washer with bolts.......hold better on long term..... you will love the center console :) really great addition

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.

      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?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
