Why retrofit? I have an external unit this size or larger, just keeps items cooler than the surrounding temps. I wouldn't call it a fridge though.

External unit is useful for trips, I have one but in city it is difficult to run it (switching it ON and OFF each time I get inside and outside the truck) as well not in my hand reach while driving.

 

Because were I live the temperature reaches 125 degrees in summer :(

I was driving a 2015 Escalade ESV Platinum this week for work that had this. It keeps things cool at best, for sure not a refrigerator. There is a button further up on the console to turn it on.

 

Cooler Box Description and Operation

The cooler box is a bin that uses a thermal electric device to cool. The cooled temperature will vary based on the ambient air temperature and the amount of contact to the surrounding box surface.

The ignition must be ON for the cooler box to operate. When the ignition is ON, pressing the momentary switch requests the Center Console Compartment Cooler Control Module to active the box.

The indicator is provided voltage by the Body Control Module. When the box is operating, the Center Console Compartment Cooler Control Module illuminates the indicator by providing ground.

 

Looks like it would be easy enough to install in a truck, doesn't use any fancy modules. It uses the box and a switch that is on a ignition on power source

I actually disagree, the biggest issue is that it requires an update to our BCM to enable the feature, which we also wont have the wiring for. Then there is also a center console compartment module which we dont have. I looked for the part number for the cooler itself but couldnt find it. A simple wired switch would be the easiest way of wiring it.

Where did you get this BCM info? I have checked the schematics for this feature and do not see the BCM in the equation

If all it does is cool, my external plug and play cooler does that? Why would you retrofit, rewire, or update the BCM when you could just buy an external cooler, place it into the open space, then plug into one of the power outlets. Really though, you're only talking about a couple bottles of water capacity, you would be finish drinking before you need it to be cooled. The wife likes it to keep meds on ice during a 3 hour or so road trip, practical for me to just use a small classic hand-carry cooler (what do I know I'm just the husband and it's her truck). The GM fullsize SUVs even has a 110 connection behind the center console, at least in the Tahoe. Works great

"The indicator is provided voltage by the Body Control Module."

 

 

Now that I re-read it, it is only talking about the indicator.

Buy a yeti roadie and call it a day. Enough to carry a 12 pack and 10lb bag of ice. Ice will last a few days. $250 and you can take it with you wherever you go!

sometimes when I park my truck, the interior temperature rises to 160 degree if I forgot to roll down the side windows a little bit. Perhaps ice won't last few days :(

 

I saw this http://www.ebay.com/itm/2007-2013-Chevrolet-Silverado-Thermoelectric-Center-Console-Cooler-Refrigerator-/121368299437?hash=item1c421d47ad&vxp=mtr

 

but for the old body style

Yeti's have 3" of insulation. This isn't your typical little cooler. Made to withstand anything, including bears!

 

But if you want to waste $300 on something that doesn't keep your drinks cold, go for it. I will stick to my yeti's.

 

Ps..... My yeti 75 holds 60 cans and 32lbs of ice.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
