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

Nice job I just got mine in today we'll start the install tomorrow ... Did you get all the USB plugs to work the one up front and inside the console?

I really want to do this! Are those 4 part numbers everything needed? How does it attach to the dash? My dash has the little pull out cubby. Does that trim come off? How did you reconnect the plugs on the front and are there plugs inside the lift up console part too?

That is the part numbers you will need,, the pull out cobby comes out open tray one screw there and two at bottom then it we'll come out .....the front of the console will slide in the cubby hole as for the plugs I had the jump seat with the usb in the console I toke the wire harness out of my old console in pluged it to the plugs up front of the new console still working on the plugs in the new console...

My old console under the lid there was two usb, sd card reader, 12 volt charger, and aux port I removed that wire harness off the old console. I used that harness to plug in to the 3 USB ports on the front of the new console. Under the lid of the new console there is two usb, sd reader, aux, and 12 volt charger.

Like Wade, I was able to have my auto body install my console last week. They also removed the wiring harness from the jump seat and used it to get all of the USB/12v/110 outlets to work on the front of the new console. They were also able to get the 12v inside the storage compartment to work (it is hot with the key on only). Unfortunately, they were not able to get the SD/USB slots in the storage area to work nor the 12v on the back of the console (for rear seat pass.). I'm sure some more technical savvy individuals, or a car audio specialist, could get these to work.

 

It looks like Wade was able to provide you with the part numbers and I did not witness the install due to work related travel so I can't be much help...... I love the console and if you have the money to spare and some time it is well worth the upgrade!!

I'm no wiring guru but can you not tap into the other 12v to get power to the rear one? Or write the new sd to the old spot it was hooked to or where the harness you used was hooked to?

Yes, I assume that is all possible but unfortunately, I had a body shop do the work while I was traveling so I wasn't able to see the wiring setup or harness configuration. I'm sure someone with a little wiring experience could get everything to work without burning the truck down to the frame!

Good luck!!!

Going through the dealer to buy the console will cost u more.. If your parts guy is nice he could sale it to u at wholesale ....my dealer did got the whole console for 600 ordered it on a Monday had every thing in on Thursday ..if I don't get home from work to late I'll take more pictures of the console.....also there is a wire harness that comes all ready installed on the new console ..that wire harness is pluged to the sd / 12v / usb on the back part of the console....in a truck with the console already there is a wire harness that come out of the dash and plugs to the console..trucks with out the full console dose not have the wire harness coming out of the dash...I'm working with my parts guy to find that wire harness ....so every thing can be plug and play....I'll take picture of when I get time to show everyone....if we could get someone who bought there truck with the full console to chase them wires down to se were they go in the dash that would help a lot ....

I think you should be able to use the harness already there to use the 110 and one of the 12v... then just tap the other 12v into the other and then run the usbs to a keyes wire.... those would only be a charge only and wont be able to play music from them but thats what the arm rest usbs could be used for. Then everything works

      AFM Experience

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      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.

      Upgrade to a 2026 AT4 with the 3.0L Duramax

      By Blade8971 · Posted

      Thank You.   So far my new ride is making me look like a genius for going with the 3.0L, as my first fuel refill occurred over three weeks from when I took delivery.  This engine combination is very amazing.  So far no issues and had not done a regen yet.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am curious as to how much fluid you put back in the transmission ( assuming you had replaced the filter to compare to my findings ) and then went through the process of warming up the trans before pulling the check plug to drain out the excess and if you measured how much came back out.    I just found it surprising that some claimed a certain amount less fluid being put in and then draining some back out. The attitude of the truck as per if the surface is level and how the trucks stance is would make quite a difference since the check plug is right at the front of the transmission.
