I have been watching this one for a while, seen a few part number changes etc... On the sight it also has the arm rest as an additional part. does the armrest come with the console assembly ?

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

It (The arm rest) does come with the console assembly. I don't think anyone has reported otherwise. I bought mine from gmpartsdirect.com and it did.

Yes I was pleasantly surprised I didn't need to order that expensive part separately. Believe it was the console assembly, 2 trim pieces (L and R), front bracket and top "plate" as folks have called it, which includes cup holders, and you need to get the trim right on the plate so it matches your truck. I used GM parts direct and was very happy with their service. I wanted to make sure the console I was ordering had the white stitching and the rep went back to the warehouse, took pics of the one I was about to order, and emailed them to me. Received it all in a couple days.

Don't know if this has been attempted yet or not but my ultimate plan is to remove the jump seat and have it installed in the rear. I will have to modify (split) the rear seat to get this done. but driving around without rear seat is not a problem (unless the grandbaby stops in) !! So if any one has any experience with this mod please let me know !! I may just start another thread for this??

can't get a hold of anyone at GM parts direct ??? It showing some of the parts does not fit my truck ??? Maybe it's because the part number has changed. Called (GM parts-online) and spoke with a real parts guy and verified they were in stock !! going to give parts direct until the morning to respond then I will cancel my order !!! GM direct has free shipping which makes the deal a little better.

Nice 51 stovebolt! I placed my order for the parts on Monday and they should be shipping any day now. I order the $14 cable to try and get power & data through the front USB ports when I do he install. Can't wait to convert my truck over. I work out of my truck and the cab is my mobile office. It will be great to have a place to store my iPad, notebook, and other work stuff besides the passenger seat. Any please document your install and snap some pics. What year model is your truck?

Console came in todayattachicon.gifIMG_1607.JPG

Sir

I would very much like to see some pictures and or your comments on getting the electrical and data ports to work. I am looking hard at doing this but I want to be sure that I will still have all my USB ports, 110V plug, AUX jack and power port in back working when finished.

 

Also would you be able and willing to post a list of the different part numbers you used to build your console at your convenience? I would be interested to know your total cost for the project if I may be so bold as to ask. You built exactly what I want. As you seem to be the most recent person to do this project I figure your data will be the best.

 

Any info you share would be of great help. Thank you in advance.

I also ordered the cable, I hope reading back through the thread will be my guide!! I also want the usb's and such to work. I'm so particular about the data part of the usb's as long as they get power to charge. I can Bluetooth everything else. when my wife is in the truck as a passenger and needs the charger it automatically picks up her phone and goes through radio. I disabled this function in the car and sure I can in the truck?

On another note the new console has a card slot, my other one did not. it also has a light in the storage area !! I'll keep ya posted, waiting on the custom sub box to arrive now.

As stated I will be reviewing this thread to get all things working, As for the part numbers go to page 64 and see the reply by (SIL2500) I ordered exactly what he ordered. Make sure you have the correct color to match your interior I have the synthesis. total cost for parts is $669 from GM-parts direct (free shipping)

Same here 51 stovebolt. I should be receiving shipping confirmation tomorrow or Tuesday. I'm already digging back through this thread and making some notes. I hope to start the install next weekend and will document my process and snap some pictures.

      AFM Experience

      By KARNUT · Posted

      The problem with failure rates or increase failures are there’s people who don’t have a problem. What are you doing wrong they say. We had 4 5.7 GM diesel’s in the family when they came out. One was flawless. My uncle who happened to be the most abusive. Early rotary engines were known to use oil. I abused my first car so bad in six months I replaced the clutch, transmission and rear end. It didn’t use oil. My brother in law has a 2013 Tahoe and an older Yukon. The Yukon has 280K miles. The Tahoe around 175K. He runs them to about 300K. If his lifters fail before that time he would consider it a failure. My Hondas, I know people hate it when I mention them. Identical engines. One with cylinder deactivation one doesn’t have it. One shudders when the eco light goes on or off. Cylinder deactivation. But wait! According to the web. It can happen with lock up too. So now people in the know are changing the oil and transmission fluid more often. Then you read it could be a programing issue. So what do you do? There’s lots of money involved. I see three ways to deal with it. One only works if you don’t drive lots of miles. Lease, never get out of warranty. Or only buy older vehicles with a good track record. They all have bad runs. Usually when there’s a change. Even Toyota and Honda.

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.
