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

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.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
