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

Finally the console is complete now ready for the install and see what other problems I run into

If I'm reading this thread correctly there are two additional bolts that the center console is mounted with but not the jumpseat. Do I really need those and if so can I get them at a hardware store or do I have to order them through GM?

We talk about the 2 bolt that secure the front console to dash......2x m6x1 with washersome

They bolt in the bracket you install instead the ashtray......you can install them or not but not having they will loose the front of console and making noise....so for about 10 cents it is a great addition you may take consideration

The wiring will be fun. It is possible to take the wiring out of the big connector on the console and use the connector/harness for the jump seat to place those wires in to avoid cutting anything? Basically replace the connector.

Got the 4 bolts out in preparation for tomorrow when I'll do the swap. What a pain.

In the process of removing the jump seat and I'm having a heck of a time getting the wiring harness disconnected from the area under that carpet square! Same with the USB right next to it. On mine there's a red retaining clip on the harness connector that I've already undone but the harness won't come out. The USB looks like it has a red clip as well that you push sideways but again it won't come out.

I was hoping to avoid that but if I need to I guess I will. :)

What size torx bit do I need to remove the back seat bolts?

T-50 torx socket to remove the seat.You'll be glad you pulled the seat.makes life much easier.The large connector has basically a lever that hinges back and pops the connector open,once the seat is out of the way it will be obvious.Dont worry about the seat belt there is plenty of slack to take the seat out with it connected.Don't stress over the swap just take your time,A bonus to removing the seat is it makes it real easy to vacum the carpet when you're done!If you get stuck take a break grab a cold beverage and read through the thread again.I believe everyone has had success.It realy is an easy process. Have fun

Got the console in! I ended up using a T-47 bit to get the bolts out for the seat.

 

I ended up splicing the jump seat and console harnesses together like a Y and connected everything. The usb connection in the jump seat is connected to the front 3 USB. All 3 charge and all 3 play music. Both cig ports on the front work. I didn't test the 110v plug since it was plug and play. Both cig ports work in the console. The USB in the console isn't yet but that's because I don't have the USB cable connected to the HMI yet. I ran out of time today plus the weather was crappy. I can access the USB cable from the console easily though once I take off the side panel. I'm confident it will work unless it's a programming thing. The wiring is spliced with the front USB port wiring and I know that works.

 

I couldn't bolt the from two floor bolts as the holes didn't line up. Getting the passenger seat back in was a PAIN!!everything is back together and the console looks nice!! The LED is wired up to one of the cig ports but I didn't realize that I picked one that requires the truck to be on. Oh well. :).

 

Thanks everyone for your help!!

Hey, I was wondering if there is a post with the Jet Black Interior Center Console. Since I've been looking for them everywhere and can't find the part numbers for them! Also, what do I have to do in order to install my center console? Maybe a Step post? If you guys could help me out, I would really appreciate it! Thanks!

The part numbers listed above includes the jet black console. That's what I have.

      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.
