This means your USB route goes behind the radio. What usb cables are you using? GM factory ones or amazon generic ones? If GM cables, which color cables?

I waited a long time to do this upgrade on my truck because I didn’t want to have to cut and splice the wiring in my truck and wanted everything to work as if the console were factory. So when I saw t

Ok. So the green to grey will not plug up like originally expected as it needs a green port from the HMI.

If you still have the jump seat and it’s harness, you can strip the usb cable from it, and use it to mate with the cable under the front seat. Route the grey end to the front USB hub.

Then use the generic cable and come out of the front Usb hub (driver side port) to feed the brown port of the HMI.

Give that a go... it might be easier to buy a 2nd generic cable from amazon as opposed to stripping the cable from the jump seat harness.

Great, I’ll figure out about the cables. Which USB under the drivers seat?

Pretty sure "under the front seat" refers to the USB connection under the passenger seat, not the driver's seat.  "Driver side port" refers to the USB hub in the console.

The USB cable disconnect under the front passenger seat. Where the original jump seat plugged into. This cable terminates behind the radio. So you can look for it behind the radio screen or use a generic cable and plug into it under the front seat. Whichever method, the other end should go into the front USB hub. The front usb hub (if it’s a double usb hub) should have an “input” and an “output” on the backside. The “input” is the side closer to the passenger side. The “output” is closer to the driver side.

Looking good so far. I can’t seem to figure out how the bracket installs? Does anyone have a diagram for this?

The front bracket? It used (4) existing 7mm bolts. You have to remove them and reuse them. The bracket only goes one way. You might have hard time with the 2 upper 7mm bolts. I remove the radio and HVaC controls for easier access.

Okay guys hopefully last question since I can see the finish line. Thanks for your help!!
 

I routed the brown port to the passenger seat connection, and I’m still left with the USB by the 6 pin connection that doesn’t lead anywhere I can see. I have function in both cigarette lighters but obviously not the triple USB hub since no USB is giving it power. Any advice here? I can live without the triple if it’s not an option

Correction to the post above, the two cig lighters in front worked until I turned on the truck and started driving to work. Now only the hidden one under the lid works? I haven’t tried the triple USB. looks great though! Had to break off the latch to open it which is frustrating.

Ok. So the triple USB hub will only have a single USB input. That’s the missing link. With a triple USB and no HMI, you’ll only have one USB feed that you can use. Which means, you’ll have to decide which one you want hot. With a double USB hub, it has an input and an output. That output would feed the brown port.

I should be ordering a complete console on Monday 11/11/19. It will be out of a wrecked 2018 gmc sierra 1500 crew cab SLT. My truck is the 2017 gmc sierra 1500 SLE double cab. I already have the 12 volt and 110v outlets now next to ash tray. The guy is supposed to send console along with any and all wires and cables that's connected to it. Can you give me any advice on anything before I order it, and what I will need from you to get it all up and running? Thanks!!!

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      I have a basic 2026 1500 WT  (2.7L/4WD reg cab shorttbed). Comfy, generally happy with electronics/radio - but is there a way I can add switches to steering wheel right-side position (curr. empty) so I can adjust volume, push phone button to voice dial, etc? Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
