Hey guy just got my console in and wanted to say thanks for all the help from the forum. Getting the jump seat out was much harder than I thought but getting the new console put in was much easier than expected. I only used two bolts where the bracket mounts to the dash so that I didnt have to take any of the dash apart and the console is in there solid. I love how much storage room this thing has.

Nice, I bought all my console parts, just waiting for free time to do the install. Did you get the front three USB'c to charge?

Hey guys I just got my console in, started on it this morning at 9 and I'm wrapping it up at 1:30. Also I have the front 3 USB playing music and charging and I have all 4 cig outlets working and the interior led for the console is wired to my cab lights. Everything went smoothe and I want to thank everyone for the info and insight on the process. I absolutely love this thing. 108199a698f66c4b54c195c18b41d04e.jpg8420513fc28eaa0c4b9cd983d49f2585.jpg0d3bbf23485c65d7b14d688a4bfce04a.jpg

That's awesome Keith!! How did you tap into the lights to get the LED to work? Is that the blue wires in the picture, underneath the console? Also as far as the charging USB's up front: did you use the AC Delco USB male to male connection; one side into the back of the chargers and the other into the HMI?

Hi Guys. I've read till my eyes are crossed so I'll just see if you guys can help. I'm thinking about buying a 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 All Terrain. Currently, it has a fixed center console. However, I have a bunch of kids so I need the flip up console. If I buy this truck, will I be able to buy a jump seat to put it its place? Will it bolt up easily and wire easily? Looks like most people are getting rid of the jump seat in favor of the center console.

 

Also, anybody on here happen to have a black leather one they need to get rid of?

 

Thanks so much for any help. Need to buy pretty soon.

For the led light, I took the pigtail and unplugged it from the led. Then I followed the wire down about 4 inches and cut it and taped off the dead ends. From there I took the plug with now bare ends and spliced them and butt connected it to the 2 blue wire you see. One marked negative the other is white it's the positive.

As far as getting everything up front to work I removed the entire jump seat harness from the jump seat. I then plugged the harness back into the floor plugs under the passenger seat. I used all of the connections up front and that's all.

Yes, they should be interchangeable. Where are you located? I have a black leather center jump seat that I will be removing soon and selling.

I'm in SWVA. Close to the VA TN line. Wonder if the color would be the same. Looks jet black to me (leather). Not 100% sure this will be happening, but it might.

I think they are the same, black leather with white stitching. We are pretty far, I am New Orleans, 8-9 hour drive away

Wow, I actually work in Algiers and live in Metairie. Small world, might have to summon you for some help with the install lol. Do you have a 2014 or 2015?

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By StingerZ16 · Posted

      I started with a folding cover by BAK PAC on my 2500. It went bad after close to 5 years. Bent and vinyl coming loose. Contacted BAK and they gave me a very good discount on a Revolver. Had it a number of years. Mostly outdoor storage. Some garage storage. Vinyl started to come loose. Still under warranty so they replaced to cover. Sold the 2500, bought the 1500 and got another revolver for it. Had it a couple years now and no issues. I store it indoors. Got a bit of discount when buying it as well. If you are seeing problems, contact BAK or real truck and let them know. Customer service was pretty good. But I think they changed their warranty.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I agree, there is no one answer fits all as every rig is different, one may be pulling some little aluminum fishing boat while another is towing a monstrosity that weighs a lot and hopefully the owner if the rig has some prior experience to know what drive mode they should choose.    It also struck me and this is from watching a few of those boat ramp escapades videos in the past, Ford being one of the vehicles that has the auto front axle hubs and sure enough its found out that one hub has crapped out and won't engage and may not have manual hubs to even select on both sides so they are on the boat ramp stuck with no four wheel drive and spinning .... they flat out need a tow to get up the ramp and deal with the vehicles new found issues. That can happen to all brands of pickup, finding out either four wheel drive or 4 low isn't working right at the time its needed it to work as some electronic crap has failed.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its possible you never had the joy of the crappy boat launches we tend to have around here or really some of them are just grades down to the river if its a river scenario and the conditions change all the time with the river levels and silt deposits. Some of the lakes we went to years ago, there was no such thing as a cement pad that went down into the water that the trailer stayed on, it was gravel maybe up to the water line and then duck crap much beyond that so sinking the boat tires into mud. Of course some of the more established lakes had a cement bar type boat ramp but sometimes it was covered in green slime closer and certainly within the water and a two wheel drive had all sorts of fun if one had to touch that slime with the rear tires.    A neighbor of mine had made a comment years back with his chev truck that was probably about the same year as yours but a half ton extended cab 4x4 and he a a fiberglass boat with an inboard so it wasn't a feather weight and he had gone out to one of the large popular lakes in the area and don't ask me how this happened but he was in two wheel drive as he figured he didn't require four wheel drive for that boat ramp and somehow upon pulling the boat out he twisted one of his drive axles. I suspect it must have spun and then grabbed on the cement ramp and shocked it to the degree of twisting it. He would have had the standard 8.5 or whatever it was axle housing as the 9.5 ring gear like my truck has also has larger drive axles as far as I know. Anyway he was feeling a vibration driving home and had it checked out and a shop found that the tire/hub was wobbling because of the axle had twisted so in went a new drive axle. After that bad experience he said he made sure to put it into four wheel drive to lower the stress on the rear axle. Of course that is where an HD truck can handle a lot more stress and no doubt these newer half tons with their larger ring gears probably have larger drive axles as well to match vs back in the day.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Desirable - as in does someone WANT one, aspire to have one. Could reasonably buy any car they want and CHOOSE these instead.    I didn't watch the video, why did they win?

      The use of absolutes like "always" to describe gear selection, and giving free advice at a boat ramp sounds like a recipe for disaster. It's a boat ramp, not a farm, for starters.   IMO gear selection should depend on the obstacle. If low range is working and this is a slower speed, controlled ordeal, I'd keep using that.
