I have been watching this one for a while, seen a few part number changes etc... On the sight it also has the arm rest as an additional part. does the armrest come with the console assembly ?

It (The arm rest) does come with the console assembly. I don't think anyone has reported otherwise. I bought mine from gmpartsdirect.com and it did.

Yes I was pleasantly surprised I didn't need to order that expensive part separately. Believe it was the console assembly, 2 trim pieces (L and R), front bracket and top "plate" as folks have called it, which includes cup holders, and you need to get the trim right on the plate so it matches your truck. I used GM parts direct and was very happy with their service. I wanted to make sure the console I was ordering had the white stitching and the rep went back to the warehouse, took pics of the one I was about to order, and emailed them to me. Received it all in a couple days.

Don't know if this has been attempted yet or not but my ultimate plan is to remove the jump seat and have it installed in the rear. I will have to modify (split) the rear seat to get this done. but driving around without rear seat is not a problem (unless the grandbaby stops in) !! So if any one has any experience with this mod please let me know !! I may just start another thread for this??

can't get a hold of anyone at GM parts direct ??? It showing some of the parts does not fit my truck ??? Maybe it's because the part number has changed. Called (GM parts-online) and spoke with a real parts guy and verified they were in stock !! going to give parts direct until the morning to respond then I will cancel my order !!! GM direct has free shipping which makes the deal a little better.

Nice 51 stovebolt! I placed my order for the parts on Monday and they should be shipping any day now. I order the $14 cable to try and get power & data through the front USB ports when I do he install. Can't wait to convert my truck over. I work out of my truck and the cab is my mobile office. It will be great to have a place to store my iPad, notebook, and other work stuff besides the passenger seat. Any please document your install and snap some pics. What year model is your truck?

Console came in todayattachicon.gifIMG_1607.JPG

Sir

I would very much like to see some pictures and or your comments on getting the electrical and data ports to work. I am looking hard at doing this but I want to be sure that I will still have all my USB ports, 110V plug, AUX jack and power port in back working when finished.

 

Also would you be able and willing to post a list of the different part numbers you used to build your console at your convenience? I would be interested to know your total cost for the project if I may be so bold as to ask. You built exactly what I want. As you seem to be the most recent person to do this project I figure your data will be the best.

 

Any info you share would be of great help. Thank you in advance.

I also ordered the cable, I hope reading back through the thread will be my guide!! I also want the usb's and such to work. I'm so particular about the data part of the usb's as long as they get power to charge. I can Bluetooth everything else. when my wife is in the truck as a passenger and needs the charger it automatically picks up her phone and goes through radio. I disabled this function in the car and sure I can in the truck?

On another note the new console has a card slot, my other one did not. it also has a light in the storage area !! I'll keep ya posted, waiting on the custom sub box to arrive now.

Same here 51 stovebolt. I should be receiving shipping confirmation tomorrow or Tuesday. I'm already digging back through this thread and making some notes. I hope to start the install next weekend and will document my process and snap some pictures.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sad thing is that this doesn't have to be the case. LSPI can be solved without a reduction in TBN. Swap Ca for Mg.  Cats are not a issue if the OEM can get a ring and valve guide seal even at SN levels of SAPS. Dizzy is purring like a kitten with a bowl of warm milk. 200K of Full SAPS oil and zero detonation issues and nice a clean inside and out. This shouldn't be an issue. It isn't 1920.    Tell ya what AMSOIL SS is excellent at, internal cleanliness. The new formula is even a step up from their already outstanding cleanliness levels. Can't say the OEM offering is quite that clean. There marketing suggest the SS is cleaner.     That is the only defense with at shelf oil. Nothing wrong with them if you ignore the marketing and OEM 'recommended' OCI and use a thimble full of common sense. 😉 You go sir.

      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.

      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?
