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 realized you may have been asking if I got the black leather jump seat! That was my original intention while shopping around eBay that day however I happened to come across this console that had just been listed so I hit the buy it now before it turned into an auction gone wild like the one now!

Ok guys, I just completed the console swap and it went flawless. I did the top plate that has the 2-12v and 1-3 port usb. I put the 110v in place of the 3 usb port. I still have the 2 usb ports/ 12v under the lid to utilize car play. I went this route so i didnt have to worry about the usb's not funtioning 100% up front, and frankly 2 usbs is plenty for me

 

As far the wiring goes, not bad at all. I used the wire harness from the jump seat so almost everything was plug and play. I did have to solder the led light and the 12v on the backside of the console. Straight forward and easy to do. Youll nees to unravel some of the original harness to see what wires your working with

 

I did not remove or loosen the passenger seat either. Yes it was tough to reach and unclip the connector but not horrible

 

Anyways, couldnt be happier on the final result! This is not that hard to do. A few hours and just under $600 gets you a sweet OEM console

 

Oh and my all leather jump seat is on ebay if anyone is interested :)

Glad it worked out well! ! Im going to have my seats out anyway since I'm doing the audio install at the same time so it sounds like it will be pretty straight forward.

Great job. You are going to love it. For the life of me, I can't imagine why one wouldn't take a seat out. Two bolts, connector and tip it forward. Out it comes. Piece of cake.

Do you by chance have the part number for the trim plate you used? (the part number I found in the other thread is actually the 4 hole plate my console already has).

Will do and there is way more room than I realized so I may install some of my audio gear inside this bad boy!

Finished getting mine installed today. Not too bad at all and no more bouncing/rattling of the jump seat armrest. I just wired up the usb's/12v under the lid and the 110v/12v up front for now since I'll have to take it out while doing my audio install at which time I'll connect the light as well as the second 12v up front (Im going to see if I can disassemble the unused usb's up front so I can mount my bass knob there). Overall it was well worth it and and big thanks to all who contributed tips in this thread as without you guys I doubt I would have taken this on!

      I think the answer is it's a stock 5.7 Hemi with a 3.0L blower bolted onto it 😉   Practically, because a blower introduces a lot of high pressure, severe thermal stress, and extreme mechanical loads on an engine. Things still need a little time to seat and get used to moving under load.   Sarcastically, because it's a Stellantis/ 5.7 Hemi and those things need all the help they can get!!

      It's been a little over three weeks since my second knee replacement.  I can now walk around the house without a walker or cane but still have a lot of healing ahead.  This morning I was able to bring a cup of coffee to my wife in bed.  A few days ago, this coffee would have ended up on the kitchen floor!  Knee replacement surgery is very common and will typically enhance the recipient's future quality of life. However, the recovery process can present significant challenges, pain and discomfort. I encourage anyone facing a recommended total knee replacement to welcome the opportunity.  Just be aware that your body may take several months to fully welcome the new parts!

      The Germans basically didn't make the list. There aren't a lot of shade-tree mechanics who work on them in general. At some point the economic equation of keeping a car alive favors junking it. Anecdote/experience tells me this is the case versus actual bad engines/engineering. Not that there isn't any, but there are definitely notable excellent examples. The 2.0 diesels will go forever and ever if one keeps the car around it running. The 2.0 gas cars eventually wear out their turbos but the block below it is usually still solid as a rock. BMW inline 6's same thing. Mercedes diesels of yesteryear, not uncommon to see 250k out of those engines, easy.     Link to the synopsis of the study: https://www.iseecars.com/longest-lasting-cars-study

      0w20 is recommended in the Sequoia. 0w16 in the Highlander Hybrid.   I think you make a compelling case for both the quality and frequency of maintenance but I wouldn't go so far as to plot a linear relationship between longevity and oil weight 😉   The list is interesting and leaves me with some questions. The Silverado 1500 is 12.9% likely while the GMC Sierra 1500 is only 10.8% likely. Arguably, they're the same truck, so other factors must be influencing the outcome.   The Honda Odyssey ranks #12 at 13% likely. Great. Rest assured we'll never stop hearing about the dang thing LOL.   There's a bit of a spread between the 4Runner (32.9%) and Tacoma (25.3%). Both overlap on the same 4.0 for many years although the Tacoma used a 3.5 for the last 10-12ish. I wonder if that's related to use-case or if it's suggesting the 3.5 isn't quite as up to the task, or maybe something else fails mechanically.   Ram at 3.5% overall likely, but the Ram 3500 holds the top spot on the Heavy Duty Models at 39.7%. One might say the Cummins is a ringer and provides an unfair advantage. I don't think it's fair/accurate to pit the GM Fullsize 1500's in a list with HD's which are basically medium-duty wearing a 3500 badge.   The Tahoe and Suburban hold spots #15 and #8, respectively, on the longest lasting SUV's list. What's the difference? One's got a shorter butt, unless they're also counting the 2500/3500 Suburbans in those numbers.   The GMC Canyon gets a 1.4% increase over its twin brother Colorado. Why, because it's prettier?   SO many questions...

      Have the aftermarket system removed an re-test.  Its pretty much the only way to know if there is still an issue that is the truck and not from that.
