Hey everyone,

I'm in the process of purchasing a 2018 tahoe rst premier. GM doesn't offer the seating arrangements that i require so im looking into swapping out the front center console for a jump seat and adding a jump seat between the second row captains chairs. Any info or links on completing this would be greatly appreciated!

Look in the classified for a Silverado jump seat and try and find someone to swap captain chairs for their 60/40 split bench. Worth a shot.

This is exactly what I would do...  So I take it the Tahoe RST can't be ordered with a 60/40 split bench seat for the 2nd row?  That's weird if that's the case...

 

There are a few 2nd row 60/40 split bench seats available on eBay for a decent price:

Just keep a look out and you should be able to find something that works for what you need.

Yes this would be the way to go! There is no way you could put a truck jump seat between the captains chairs that wouldn't completely ridicules! imo. If you need that much room it almost sounds like you should have gotten a Suburban or an XL.

Here is an 18 silverado jump seat in my 18 suburban. Ebony leather and stiching in upper match perfectly - the lower cloth part matches carpet behind seats so it all does tie in pretty well. Best part - usable cup holders! I may get leather cover for seat portion, but I only have 2 kids, and there is still the 3rd row. You do have to remove armrests for it to fit. Kids love it... 5861322e1423f603ed64242851c1f6e3.jpg7a700a051adc3c3fef51e91457a4e3c3.jpg3d689dd5bb9cf79ef1ada80c19e5edde.jpg

So is there a way to secure this or is it just sitting there?

Working on it. Got floor brackets in yesterday, and will do a custom bottom attachment to raise it up a bit off the plastic. The front hump is wider so I plan to shape it a little...e50a989d5bb1f5273751850f1770028e.jpgda250ddf11f9f8f5f1a991b8791fce12.jpg

So great to see something other than replacing the captain seats with a bench!

Update on the jump seat installation? I have been looking into adding another seat and would like to do something similar in our 2017 suburban.

Nice! I am liking this upgrade.  I am moving from my old 1990 Suburban to a 2016 or so Yukon XL Denali soon, and I was thinking I would miss the 2nd row bench sometimes.  This is a great way to have it all.  Looking forward to any updates on the install.  I thank you in advance for saving me the trouble of debugging the details.

Done. I used some granite counter brackets and some tab bolts from a nerf bar install kit. Very sturdy now and storage in both upper console, behind cupholders, and under seat. Has a lap belt too. Going to be an arm rest with 3 cup holders 95٪ of the time, but you never know when you need an 8th spot...92e26a6c7567ec0be4b230dfe1849a0f.jpg1183d14e9a3cbce8efcfaf83d903989d.jpg40ee00769edc097172595ce987950a09.jpg

Awesome Job Texas Daddy. Do you have a video or details of how it's been done? I am trying to do it by myself. Is it a jump seat of Sierra? Do i need to drill the floor to attach the granite counter brackets?

Question about the install.  I have ordered a jump seat/console for my 2nd row to sit between the 2 bucket seats.  Did you drill holes in the bucket seat mounting bracket (painted black) on the floor?  Mine has one hole in the vicinity of your mounting bracket, and I am wondering if you used it, or did you drill new ones?  Also, it appears you did not go through the floor of the vehicle, is that correct?  Other than the 4 mounting brackets, did you secure it any other way to the vehicle body?

      Batteries don’t always show signs of a few years ago my vehicle started fine in the morning and took me to work. After work the battery was completely dead and I needed a jump. No, I didn’t leave anything on and the battery was only a couple months old. It was replaced under warranty.

      AFM is confirmed in the Corvette engine, so I'm assuming the higher volume trucks will get it as well

      If his battery was that bad I would think it would have been showing signs before this that were ignored. Stinks that it happened the way it did in rush hour traffic, but this seems like a pretty fringe scenario. I don't mind it that bad and never turn it off. The only slight annoyance for me is the slight delay between brake to gas, but I have gotten used to it and figure if it can save a little gas why not.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a good correction. I think “severity” was probably the wrong word for what I meant. What I really mean is closer to event priority, relevance, and actionability — not “this code is severe” or “replace this part.” I agree that a truck can have a lot of trivial or historical communication codes, and if the product starts pushing alerts for every stored or low-value event, people will ignore it very quickly. So the alert logic would need to be filtered. For example, I would not want a random old communication code to generate a push notification by itself. A useful alert would probably need to be based on things like: - new vs historical - active vs stored - repeated vs one-time - duration of the event - whether it happened near the driver-marked symptom - whether it happened together with voltage drop, reset, bus-off, misfire, oil-pressure change, etc. - whether the same pattern repeats under similar conditions So instead of saying “severity,” maybe the product should organize events by affected system and priority. For example: Misfire event: Show misfire counts / roughness first, then fuel trims, RPM/load, DFM/AFM state if available, coolant/oil temp, voltage, and related DTCs. Oil-pressure event: Show oil pressure first, but only in context — RPM, load, oil temperature, coolant temperature, DFM/AFM state if available, voltage, and baseline comparison. Communication event: Show which module/network/message dropped, whether voltage dropped, whether the recorder reset, whether it was active or historical, and whether it repeated. Voltage/reset event: Show battery voltage, crank/wake/sleep state, module reset, communication dropouts, and what came back online first. That also solves the display-order problem you mentioned. The main report should not always show the same fixed list first. It should show the system that appears abnormal first, and then the supporting values for that system. I also agree that the truck already has an oil pressure gauge and MIL. The point would not be to duplicate those. The value would be in showing what else was happening before and after the warning or symptom. For example, if the MIL comes on for a misfire, the truck already told the driver there is a problem. The useful part would be: - which cylinder or bank looked abnormal first - whether it happened after an AFM/DFM transition - whether fuel trims were already moving - whether oil pressure or voltage changed at the same time - whether the same pattern happened previously without a MIL On the OBD port point, I think you may be right for a consumer-facing version. OBD is much easier for the average owner: - easier install - easier removal - inside the cabin - easier phone connection - easier data download - easier to include a pass-through port for another scanner OBD is also the right place for DTCs, freeze frame, VIN, calibration information, Mode 6, and normal scan-tool parameters. The reason I was looking at ECM-side recording is that some events may be gone by the time someone plugs in a scanner, and some powertrain-side network evidence may not be available the same way through the DLC. But I agree that if an OBD-based version can capture enough useful evidence for most owners, that is probably the cleaner consumer product. Maybe the split is: - OBD/DLC version for most consumers - ECM-side version only if it proves it adds evidence that the OBD version cannot get - shop/pro version if deeper powertrain-side event evidence is actually useful So I would not want to force the inline approach if the OBD workflow solves most of the real-world problem. Your last point is probably the key product requirement: the report should be specific to the system showing the abnormality. Not “here are 50 parameters.” More like: “Misfire-related event detected. Here are the misfire/fuel/DFM/context values.” or “Oil-pressure-related event detected. Here is oil pressure compared with RPM/load/temp/baseline.” or “Communication event detected. Here is what dropped, when, and whether voltage/reset happened first.” That is a much better way to think about the report.

      It was all part of the tiny bit of fuel savings it goes towards what was mandated by the government. Much like cylinder deactivation. That was relaxed by the recent administration. All that doesn’t help the individual buyer. But as a whole helps the manufacturer to try to reach the previous ridiculous past mileage per gallon mandate. So yes it was mandated and added cost to the vehicle.
