In my Z71 the door trim is Reverse Tartan and the dash trim is Synthesis.  For others with Z71 are you matching the console to the door trim or dash trim?  Apologies if this has been asked before, i read through most of the thread and didn't see this specific topic.

Hey guys - just wanted to provide a quick update and lead time for new orders.

Currently working on 3/26-3/27 orders today.

Thanks for your patience!

I can’t wait. Even though I’m a 4/2 order. I ran all the wiring and put the bracket in and the console is patiently waiting in my basement for install. Thank you for all your hard work you do for this community Phil. You’re a great guy.

I matched the door panel trim on my Sierra slt z71

 

i installed the console before i got the harness. One 110v and one 12v work. I bolted it in the rear and at the front bracket.   Pulled the truck side wiring harness and put it on the driveshaft/trans hump. 

 

Once i got the harness, it was under an hour start to finish. 

 

Make sure you get 2 usb mini b to mini b off of amazon. 

 

Best mod yet.

I went with reverse tartan as this is the way it comes from Factory is you have a Z71. Its a personal preference for this one :)

I’d like to correct some info on fitment. I had the opportunity to help a local member who has a 2500, Signal Cab, Long Bed Truck. The fitment was ok. We were able to get the console bolted in... BUT, there is a gap up at the front.

 

My harness build still worked fine, but you can see a small gap up front. I am unsure if there is a center console that is specific to 2500s that might just slightly longer. We also check if there was any play in the 15mm bolts... not enough to close the gap.

 

Here are some pics

Anyone else have this issue?  Im waiting for my console to arrive to swap the jump seat out of my 2017 2500HD.  Anyone do this retrofit on a 2500HD and not have this issue?

Wish i had a better picture but I no longer have the truck. This is what the console should look like in a regular cab. This was a 2016 RCSB WT. The cab is the same asConsole3.thumb.JPG.2b96df197be5aaae75f17d5ecad90daf.JPG the 2500. Initially I had some fitment problems like this because of interference with a wiring harness near the top mounting holes of the front bracket so I pulled the multi-function switch out to see what the problem was. Once I cleared the harness out of the way the bracket pulled up tight. It's also a heck of a lot easier to get to the 2 upper bolts with the switch out of the way.

Thank you Phil. Got everything installed today and everything works flawlessly! 

One thing I didn’t see mentioned when installing the drivers side side panel was to take the black surround part off the support post so the side panel fits correctly. I’m sure its common sense but good for people to know ahead of time.

    • Hi all,   I just bought a 2021 suburban RST with 88,000 miles on it and everything has been good but I’ve been noticing within the last month or so that there are small electrical things going on and I know what the AGM batteries and all the electric electrical in these big trucks you need to have a constant flow with good voltage   That being said, I bought a new battery thinking that that might have something to do with it but today I went to get in and start it and it said no key found when I had the key right in my pocket   It also proceeded to flash the lights inside and outside for over 30 minutes as I went to disconnect the battery as soon as I touch the negative terminal, I heard the relay reset and everything come back up. I got in the truck and started it no problem.   Anyone else have this happen to them? I’m starting to think it’s the KARR system that the dealer installed short circuit stuff.
    • I don't drive this truck on a regular basis since I have a new company truck with no out of pocket fuel or maintenance cost. Yesterday I got it out to run some errands and got the title message on my DCI. A quick Google search suggested to first clean the Map Sensor. I pulled it out and it was sooty so cleaned it up and reinstalled it. Issue not resolved. My OBDII is a couple years old so didn't see any codes. Today I took it to a friend at AutoZone to get him to check it with his reader. It had the following codes: P20C3 P02BB P221F Stating the most likely solution is to replace diesel emission fluid (DEF) tank assembly.   So, I guess a trip to the dealer is necessary. I read where there was a backorder on these tank assemblies several years ago so hope that has been resolved.
    • Are you using a weight distribution hitch system with your trailer as that alone can change the actual tire pressure requirements needed. It would prove interesting to see what the actual individual axle weights are on your truck when you are hooked up to the trailer. In fact when your hooked to the trailer, typically if anything unless it has a large capacity weight distribution system that is over cranked, often the weight on the front axle will be less when hooked up vs driving empty and certainly if one doesn't have a weight distribution hitch. Really the only times one may get up there with weight on the steer axle is if there was a snow plow mounted on the front or a motorcycle on a rack or with a very large jockey tank full of fuel at the front of the box that transfers a bit of its weight to the front axle.    And of course your tires carry more weight for a given tire pressure due to their size vs a stock sized tire so there is that to take into the equation as well. 
    • Great info here thank you. I just joined, we have a 2014 Silverado truck we bought about 4 years ago with less than 5,000 miles on it. It has approximately 24,000 on it now. It appears to have all the standard issues that people are talking about. Occasional charging problems especially using 110 volt, occasional blinking triangle where nothing will turn on when first starting the truck but it will reset itself if you wait 10 to 15 minutes. Noisy coupler between the flywheel and the generator. Our truck is speed limited to 74 mph, is there any way to change that? The latest issue we have been dealing with is when driving long distance on the highway at full speed the generator does not keep the batteries charged. The meter will go into the yellow/red border Zone for charge status and the yellow triangle will illuminate solid but the generator will not keep the battery charged, not sure why the controller doesn't tell the gas engine to increase RPM to increase generator output it usually stays well below 25 kilowatts even though the battery is discharging and I have to slow down the highway to 45 mph and eventually pull over and let the truck idle to charge the battery so I can continue driving at speed. Has anyone had this issue before or have any idea how to diagnosed it? When via Motors was around it they were very helpful at troubleshooting. This becomes much if the Terrain is hilly and you're towing a small trailer
    • I have the GMC accessory (REV) cover installed by dealer. Ordered with the truck.  They did a very good install job, can't find a single issue. Some water gets in around the tailgate but no where else.  You can see daylight around the tailgate but that's not the covers fault.  Installation is means everything. Guys at my dealer were seasoned pros, not inexperienced here today good tomorrow types, like many dealers employ for these jobs.   I don't mind paying for a professional job.
