I'll post part numbers, prices, some photos when done.

Thanks man that would be appreciated, are you going to try to have all the plugs functioning

Gonna try. I think one set of USB plugs may not though. I bought a cable for that purpose but plugging it in does not automatically mean it will work.

I can't wait for the write up and pics. I had the console in my old truck and really miss it in my new LT. If all the outlets will work, I'm gonna try it.

My dealership must be slow I don't understand why it hasn't come in and you guys are already getting them what part if the dash has to be replaced

Can you tell us what the part numbers are or take a picture of the list they gave you? I'm having the same issue

I've got a 2014 Chevy LTZ Z71 Double Cab. Want to switch out the jump seat for a new full console that goes all the way to the dashboard/floor. Anyone tried this swap? If so i'm looking for pricing and where to find the parts.

The console kit comes with a harness. It is designed to plug into the IP harness behind where the ash tray would be. The plug in for the jump seat/short console plugs in below the seat. So clearly some rewiring would be necessary. The IP harnesses are different part numbers so it is unlikely that there is a plugin behind the IP if no full console is factory installed. I plan on adding a console to mine in a few weeks so I'll find out how all of this will work. I think all plugs could work except for some USB plugs. Cannot simply splice USB wire I don't think. USB with console has 2 separate plugins at the K74 Human Machine Interface Control Module.

DId you buy a new console to replace your jumpseat?

$500+ shipping. Not bad. Less than I expected.

What website did you use to look up the pricing? Or did you just send the part numbers to the dealership?

Ya sorry about that, this was my first ever Forum so i discovered that eventually. Really want to do this and try it on my own. Just waiting for someone to specify on the results of the wiring.

any update on the wiring?

ide like to do this but i dont want to loose features.

is there a OEM harness i can also buy to plug in somewhere to make it all work?

Got my console installed finally (mostly). Had to do somewhat of a hurry up job so I didn't get as much documented as would have liked though. The install of the console is pretty easy. Removed the right front seat. Two torx bolts, unplug electrical connector and lift it out of the door. Left the seat belt connected. The bolts are in the rear. lift the rear of the seat to unhook the front. 3 screws to remove the ashtray/storage compartment. Install the bracket in that location with screws already there. Four bolts ( under covers ) and two harness plug ins to remove center seat. Physical installation is straight forward once the old stuff is out of the way. The electrical install is a little challenging but not too bad depending what you want to work. The new console comes with a harness but there is nowhere to plug it in. You can use the original front IP harness to connect the 110v outlet and one 12v outlet in the front of the console. I jumped 12v and ground to the power outlet next to it. I have not yet gotten the front USB ports working. It is a work in progress although I'm not all that confident it will ever work. The USB, audio input jack, SD card outlet and 12v outlet inside the console all work using the harness out of the old seat/console.The inside light needs to be wired to power and ground, and I did that. I think now that I have been through this. I might do it a little different the second time. Probably take both harness out and make one complete harness prior to installation.Frankly I don't need all those USB and 12v outlets anyway. I look at those front USB outlets as a challenge though. Overall I'm very happy with the install. Cost me $575 w/tax at 10% over dealer cost (employee). But that included a USB cable and an accessory tray (highly recommended) . you will need 2 bolts to connect the console the bracket. 6mm thread I think. 10mm head standard GM bolt.

What that cost you? Sent from my Nexus 5

I bought most of the parts to build the safe prototype, you will probably spend around $800.

      Gas fill door

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
