hey everyone, been following this for quite some time now and wanting to pull the trigger , but before I do i have to ask , if theres anyone (preferably in Canada) going the other way (floor console to jump seat) - i know I've seen a few have. i have a 2015 double cab with the jet black leather and its mint - my issue is I'm 900-1200$ CAD to buy the pieces for the console! if i knew someone was looking for a jump seat like mine or or wanted to trade, it would certainly take away the sting of the cost.....

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

Was anyone ever able to confirm what the actual difference is between the Denali and non-Denali consoles?

I just bought a 2017 ltz and I want to do the swap but I can't find part numbers for 2017. Are they the same as 16 or was there a slight design change.

Anyone who did the center console swap have a console lid or the black piece pictured below?

hey so i was able to find a complete console for 250 CAD plus shipping from a wrecker next province over and its in great shape. - has anyone looked into or been successful in finding JUST the small hockey stick looking trim pieces on the sides ?? the only downfall to the console i picked up is that it was from an Allterrain so it has the carbon fibre looking pieces , whereas I'm looking to match mine to the grand lace woodgrain my truck has.

any advice on where to look , i easily removed the trim pieces but they dont appear to have a GM part number on them.

for that matter anyone with grand lace centre console trim want to swap for all terrain carbon fibre? ill pay the postage!!

 

any advice is greatly apreciated

Jump on eBay, you won't find just the hockey pieces but the part they attach to with the front ports with the color trim you want. Just snagged a used one for like $70 shipped.

Yeah I will likely end up going that route , but being in Canada , with exchange rate duty and shipping I'm looking at 175$ .... now if i can turn around and sell the A\T one i have to offset some of that cost i guess its not so bad...

Will a takeoff from a 2500 fit in a 1500 Silverado??

 

soloing as its the new body style 2500 (2015 and up) then yes I believe the consoles are the same.

well. i just finished my console swap and it turned out great! i have everything functioning as factory - with the exception of the dreaded 3 front USB ports , which i have charging only. I am going to upload some pictures and post a full explanation of how and what I did! The BEST advice I can give is research , plan and take your time and everything will come up aces!!

Hey everyone,

for those looking to still do this swap , its pretty straight forward and east if you dont mind messing with some wiring.

i did not use the large plug harness from the new floor console , i removed the old harness from my jump seat - it allows everything in the rear of the new console to function py simply plugging it in , with the exception of the led light inside the console.

for this i removed the wires and plugs from the floor console harness and taped it together with the jumpiest harness now in the floor console for a factory look and feel (even used the cloth tape from old harness which was a royal PITA to remove but again worth it)

for the front plugs my 110 and 1 existing 12 volt plug and play no problem , i ran power and ground for the LED light in the console to the front and tied it into the existing 12 fold port , i also jumped the second 12 volt pig tale off the existing 12 volt plug.

for the 3 USB ports i used the plug off the old floor console harness that plugged into the usb ports and removed all but 2 wires for power and ground , and tied this too into the existing 12 volt at the front ( yes I'm aware I'm drawing alot from one 15A fuse but the chances of running more than one piece at a time off this single circuit is slim to none) (i also kept a 2nd 12v plug pigtail with a foot of wiring and plan on running the 2nd 12v plug to its own fuse in the future (there is a spot in the fuse panel for this)

for the USB , as my truck is a 2015 and has the usb port in the glovebox i simply removed that plug , which provides you with a standard female USB , then took a standard USB male to Mini USB male plug , and plugged it in , taped the connection in the centre and had to shave a bit of the plastic off the end plug so it would fit in the strange factory usb plug on the console. this allows me to still have the factory usb plug at the HMI behind the dash and not have to splice a usb harness.

 

again i will say i took my time , did alot of research and planned my build

 

i probably have left out some pieces , but there is a ton of great write ups on this forum (thanks to everyone who has contributed , and the pioneers who were the firsts)

for the removal of the seat theres a video on youtube if your uncomfortable with that process , and for harvesting the harness out of the jump seat i watched a video showing how to re upholster the console which shows the complete disassembly of the console including removal of the wiring harness!

 

i uploaded a few shots of the before during and after in my gallery along with the harness i built for the new console.

 

Thanks again everyone for the info , insight and breakdown of your own builds. helped make mine possible!

 

onto the next one!

Were you able to get the 3 USBs up front fully functional using the standard USB to mini cable in combo with the existing cable to the HMI? I was thinking of doing the same thing since the USB is pretty useless to me in the glove box. This is the last piece I want to figure out before installing the console. I've already combined both harnesses to make one hybrid...

      Thanks!  I figured as such; GM and other manufacturers have used standard parts and harnesses across trim levels and such for decades.  I pulled the blank accessory cover off of my commuter van (a 2016 or so Chevy 15-passenger) years ago and found the plug for a USB outlet.  It wasn't connected to anything, though (I tried swapping in an outlet from another van).  I was a GM Tech years ago (late-90s) and was pretty familiar with my 2006.  I might be wrong, but I view newer vehicles (pretty much anything made in the past 20 years) as being a lot more plug and play.  Meaning, more unused wires and plugs unless you have the Mack Daddy of vehicles.

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.

      I always drive in Sport mode. With more driving, I am finding the initial response when accelerating is much quicker now🖕 Lou
