It's called Davenport Wood, looks the same as Mineral Caster, guessing it's the Chevy version. But there is probably grain differences or sue color differences or they wouldn't offer both.

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

I recently did the swap on a 2015 with the gm USB cable and only have charging at the front 3 USB ports. I have everything functioning except for data to the front USB.

#4 ground, #6 power. 1 photo shows back of 3 slot USB outlet (front). Other shows the very expensive connector you could use.

I've finally found exactly what I needed to try and make this work. Im using 12v to the pins listed and still no power to usb. I dont have a 14-16 silvy. Im trying to get the usb to charge only on the jump seat i installed in my 2000 silvy. Do i need to have the usb connected also along with 12v to get it to charge? Just need to be able to charge. Please advise what needs to be done. Thanks guys

Yeah, seems that the module won't work without USB being hooked up to turn it on.

 

I've got the '15 HMI module and had the spare USB port on it, still only get charging on the front, haven't dug in to it yet.

You know, I should've just done that from the start. Lol. I did one by one since I hid my center console wires (under carpet) and couldnt tap into them at the moment.

However I was using an 18650 bat with dc-dc step up module. (no proper power supply) I'll give it a shot and report back results after Uni.

So Darth, I tried it this morning and it didn't power the usb. :nonod: On the other hand it was making some buzzing like sound. So it probably works or its damaged. :tear:

 

If its only possible because it needs a special signal then ill just toss it and put aftermarket replacement.

Would be badass though if it was stock.

That doesn't sound good. Also, the plug on that module is upside down so make sure you get your power and ground wires on the right pins, I felt like an idiot on that one.

 

I'd hit up eBay, bet you can find a replacement for a couple bucks. And I know for a fact that I forgot to hook the USB cable back up last time I had my trim off but I haven't tried the front USB to charge since then. Just remember reading on this thread somewhere that it still required it to be hooked up on both.

Hmm. I'll give er another shot otherwise I'm gonna have to put this puppy down.

 

I did look at the connection from the seat and did see a thick red wire that stood out and a black one that is like the rest. Maybe it is flipped since I just copied how the pic was.

 

My original crazy idea after getting this seat was to install the full console in my 2000 if I could make this work just splicing a bit of wire and a voltage stepdown if needed.

 

The full blown crazy ass idea was to research if a 2015 dash would fit lower years like my 2000. Yes I'm a bit insane. ?

 

Though I'm going to reference this if my next truck doesnt have the full console.

Sorry if my question has already been answered, but would or does this cable work to get both charging and data to work in 2016 year models? I've got a 2017 and looming into doing the swap and wondering is the USB-HMI cable (Part # 19303284) would work in my case.

 

I've searched through a couple different vendors and it seems the best price for all 6 parts is through GM Parts Direct at $644.85 with free shipping. Does that sound about right or is there a cheaper option that I have over looked.

 

Thanks Black-Z71 and everyone else that has contributed to this thread! When I get around to this I want to do a detailed write up with pictures but with spring around the corner I might not find time.

Could anyone tell from expirence if it would be effective to remove my current jump seat make the swop to the console and them reinstall the console later on? I don't want to be rushed to do this conversion and would like to break up the install over 4 or 5 days but if doing so leads to that much more work, I'll find the time to do it in a day.

 

Thanks

This is how I did it. The first part you can do ahead of time is remove the ash tray and install the front bracket. Then I removed my jump seat on a Sunday and reinstalled the bolts on the passenger seat (I have a crew cab so I just needed to tilt the seat forward to get at the wiring connectors). I drove around with nothing between my seats for the week while I took my time integrating both wiring harnesses after work. Then installed the new console with the combined wiring harness the following weekend. Worked well this way. The most time consuming parts are removing the old harness from the jump seat, taking the harness tape off to work on the wiring and doing all the soldering. I didn't want to rush this part and it worked out well. You just won't have any place to put your coffee for a few days :P

I can't speak to the data for the front USBs on a 2017. I think there was only one person that got both data and charging and he had a 2016. I ordered all my parts on eBay and paid about the same including shipping. You can find some deals though on certain parts...

I have a 2016 Siverado 2500, and I had all the USB ports charging and supplying data. I originally ordered the parts for the 2015 model so I would have the SD card slot inside the console, but was unable to get the CarPlay option to work. Today I tried installing the USB port from my original jumpseat and was able to get CarPlay to work. So for anyone with a 16 or newer, it is important to order the correct year parts so the USB ports are configured correctly.

Great and thanks for the advice! I'll probably follow your lead and take my time, although not having a cup holder for my morning life blood (coffee) could force me to rush things a little lol. Thanks Black-Z71!

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      First off you mentioned "Toyo Says" and then gave the pressures 45/50, was this some person at the tire shop that pulled those numbers out of his head ?   Now of course I can't know your exact axle weights front and rear, however I have much the same pickup as yourself other than not knowing your starting weight as per the pounds the truck rolled out of the factory at due to the options yours did or didn't come with or what you have added beyond the extra tire weight. The correct way to know 100% where a person is at is by weighing each axle with the typical weight the vehicle is driven with and that means taking into account passengers and making sure you figure in a full tank of fuel and a little grace for whatever you may put in the bed "groceries" !    I am looking at and not that it really matters as all the tire companies use the same charts anyway, but I am looking at the comprehensive Toyo tire chart in the section that your tire falls under and I know it sounds confusing but your tire is not an LT metric tire like your factory tire but instead because its a standard inch measured tire its under a different category called an LT floatation series tire. That makes a difference as LT metric tires they don't want to see run below 35 psi at highway speed where as with the LT floatation series it can be run down to 25 psi on the highway as long as the weight on the said size of tire is agreeable with or less than that minimum 25 psi. It blows many people away that how is this physically possible, an empty truck for one thing and larger tires with the same size wheel diameter have a lot more air volume so they can carry the same weight as the smaller tire with less air pressure.    So my truck, I have the stock 275/65R20 wheels and tires and I have a bit of weight in the box with a bak flip cover and a rubber bed mat and some tools and spare gas. The front of my gas truck weighs a bit more than some trucks of the similar spec due to double batteries and alternators. However with full fuel and just me in the truck I am weighted such that I can run 40 front and 35 rear and so that is what I have done since day one.    If I base your truck at or slightly below the weight of my truck, in theory with your tires going by the tire chart you might be right around a minimum of 30 pounds front and 25 pounds rear. Of course that would hit pretty much minimum cold inflation pressure one could run with that tire size and a near empty truck. If you have access to an accurate weigh scale to do individual front and rear axle weights I would suggest you do that and make sure your topped up with fuel and whatever else in the truck before you weigh it and then you will have a great starting point to work off of and figure out what your bare minimum pressures are you can safely run. If you do much in the way of hot weather high speed driving, bumping up a bit for a safety margin is never a bad idea but just depends on what type of driving you do. I will include the Toyo chart and the floatation series sizes start on page 31. Without a doubt at these pressures I am speculating at minimum wise for your truck, it would most certainly ride very different then it did when you were using 55 lb front and rear.     https://www.toyotires.com/media/pxcjubjs/application_of_load_inflation_tables_20200723.pdf

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By rdonarski · Posted

      This landing is worse than most. Patchy blacktop with washouts, soft gravel/sand at bottom that washes out with every heavy rain. I tell everyone to put it in 4WD. A lot of them think they can pull out their trailer in 2WD. They end up digging a hole and then putting it in 4WD.  The lake is a pristine lake and has a lot of money on it. There are several wake boats and lot of large tritoons. The people with the money don't want it improved because they don't want more traffic.    Boat Landing 1.jfif Boat Landing 2.jfif Boat Landing 3.jfif

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      How wide are your rims?   Toyo specs 8.5-10.0-11.0 inches. My thought would be rim might be pulling the tire inwards creating a center that is more pronounced.    I also noticed that the spec sheet says max 65psi. So you could be right lowering the pressure to ~40 psi.
