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

Don't know. Maybe. The radio may also be different. Programming would be required and the dealer cannot do it for you. There are others on this forum that have a lot of further info and contacts. Search for info.Somebody named Chris and a company called MVI. Maybe one and the same. There are others.

Infotainment.com has the whole kit plug and play for $1400-$1500 I believe and then you can add Apple CarPlay for a total cost of $1900.

Holey crap , bwright2112, know wonder the other guy traded the truck in ,

Ha ha! I really want to upgrade my SLE to the 8” and all that and still plan to but it isn’t something I NEED (hell nothing I have done to it is but still lol) so I am holding off in hopes that I can find a wrecked truck and get a hookup at a dealer or something. Probably a pipe dream but hey a man can dream can’t he? Lol

Yea I feel the same way about lighting. Mine is an SLE and it didn’t come with fog lights. I added fog lights and wanted to use the stock switch but even if I bought the entire stock harness with fog light plugs I still wouldn’t be able to use the stock switch because the wiring all goes through the computer and the dealer told me they wouldn’t reflash the computer to add fog lights so I had to use a separate switch......I was bummed.

Just about 350 miles on my 2018 crew cab Silvy, and the console parts arrived this afternoon.  Now I’ve got to read back through this thread for details on the necessary hardware/bolts I’ll need to source locally; plan on making the swap this weekend.  Also plan to follow up with pgamboa about his plug/play wire harness.

Anyone selling a console? I’m interested. I’ve been on eBay and other forums, but nothing reasonable has been around in 2 months

Are you looking for the console, or the jumpseat?  What is “reasonable” to you?

 

i noticed a console on eBay this morning for $199:  https://m.ebay.com/itm/Black-Leather-Center-Console-Charging-Armrest-SUV-Truck-OEM-Arm-Rest-GM/292384430815?hash=item4413785adf:g:LGkAAOSwEZdaQeLU

Can tell, but this maybe for an SUV?

Yea I saw that, but it looks like its out of a tahoe/suburban since it has the HVAC controls on the back and doesn't have the outlets up front. I figured with the differences in wiring and missing parts its not worth it, since I wanted to just get a pgamboa harness to plug it right in

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      You must have that upgraded gvw package which is only available or at least was in 2025 with the diesel engine for the 3/4 ton and that gave the truck physically the larger 12.0 ring gear rear diff and the 3500 rear spring pack. There is a difference in what the diff housing looks like externally as one tell tale and also your truck should have the upper overload spring pack and the frame pads that the pack goes up against.    The pressure the tpms system kicks the alarm in on a stock setting truck, that is a good question and was just from what I recall but I doubt I made any notes on it as I knew for the rear that it was not at all what I was after regardless either. Being that you have a diesel and if running on stock tires the minimum pressure on an empty truck seems to be around 50 psi from hearing of those that have weighted the front axle but the rear axle is very similar in weight to a gas truck and again a near empty truck on the rear could go down to 35 pounds at minimum. However the weigh scale is the proper way to know for sure as a guide.    As to changing the readings on the dash from metric to the US measuring system, oh yes that is done easily but what I was attempting to explain was that I can't pick and choose items I want to have in US and those I still want in the metric system at the same time as its either all or none. For example lets say you drove into Canada and switched your dash over to metric so your speedometer read in km an hour, well then your reading kilopascals on your tpms readout and your wife looks over and says what the hell is that saying in the tpms screen and you say "darned if I know, I think its Chinese" !

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      This is partly why I decided to have switched over to Amsoil SS as a way of hopefully preventing the buildup of the sludge/carbon on the pistons and clogging of the oil control rings and the carbon that would cause the compression rings to stick in their grooves as well as stay cleaner up top of the heads in the valve train in the first place, an oil that has tested better by third party testing over typical shelf oil and also doing my best to run relatively short OCI. However in saying that I don't think there is any way to easily prove the oil I was using prior allowed for a buildup at the OCI I was doing, nor in the other direction to make claims the Amsoil is keeping everything clean either. There really isn't a window into the engine is there to know anything for certain even if oil samples were taken for example that showed still healthy oil being dropped out of the oil pan other than engine tear downs that extensive and expensive testing of oils does to actually visually see what is really going on inside the engine. I wish there was some easy method of seeing what is going on but I don't happen to be aware of that if there is.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.
