I have a custom and it’s not a trailboss , but has a lot of options and I feel the same way ! Why wouldn’t all trucks be sold with the same center console ? I’m fairly certain that almost everyone would prefer the storage over the so called extra seat .That thing is basically an oversized cup holder !

So I decided to peek inside the the top of the jumper seat today and I snapped some pictures for you guys. Here is my piece of the puzzle.   It looks like the lower portion of the arm rest h

I purchased the upper part of the armrest from the dealer for $490 Cdn$.  The bottom part apparently is multiple part and was super expensive (i think about $1000).   Anyways, it was a bit of wor

I will give a summary of what I did.  Not being mechanical at all, it wasn't easy but very doable.    The first step was to take the plastic side panels off the console.  Right off the bat,

I just received mine last night. It also took some time to arrive. 12 days total. It was not re-boxed, no internal packing material and literally looked like it was thrown off a moving truck more than a few times. I was stunned that the clips remained inside the box as they were just in a small ziplock bag at the bottom of the box. I'm betting this is S.O.P. with all GM Parts websites. IE: slap a shipping label on the GM box and let'er rip. Make sure you check for your clips if you ordered them at the same time. Especially if your box looks like this.

 

One thing I noticed, the bottom anchor on the seat belt is left loose inside the box and with a lot of getting thrown around, it did cause a few scuffs and scratches on the front plastic. I guess I will live with it as I don't fore see this not happening again. It was pretty dusty and dirty from the almost destroyed box, but nothing a little simple green and compressed air couldn't handle. Watch out on the metal bracket, as it has sharp edges. Overall, it's typical GM parts QA packaging.

I'm just thankful I'll have arm rest storage again.

Hey guys! Im new to the forum. Wife and I just got a new 2019 Custom Silverado yesterday. Loving every second of it so far except for, like you guys, the serious lack of space to store stuff. I googled and found this thread but i was curious if anyone in Canada has ordered the part yet? If so could you maybe provide a direct link for me? Thanks guys!

Edit: I found the part number on page 7 of this thread: #8464-7286 . But is there a Canadian version of gm parts that i can order from? or do i have to go directly through the dealer?

The top armrest does not.

The bottom seat assembly should as it's standard IIRC on the LT trim.

I haven't see the solution on the bottom seat assembly, but I'm betting it's gonna be spendy.

I have been considering this vehicle and saw this post, so I called the dealer. Their service dep't had to get back to me. When Quality Chevy in Escondido, ca  finally got back to me they said the cost including labor was just south of 2 K and they would need the truck for 2 1/2 days

Thank you all for sharing this information! Just got my Custom Trail Boss last Friday and I too was dismayed a t the lack of center console storage. I damn near turned around and took the truck back. Don't want/need all the other options in the LT for the extra price though.I love the truck, but the console and rear wheel well liners are must haves in my opinion. I really appreciate the shared information y'all have provided. Thanks

I agree with you 1000%  !!! I did the same thing. I just Assumed..(yikes, I know), but I went right back and even said I wanted it or I wanted the LT! My sales guy said it would be too much of a paperwork nightmare. So I sucked it up and left. I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival off my separate purchase that everyone has recommended. I still LOVE my truck though. ?

sounds like they are quoting you a full center console, not just the seating portion. So basically bench removal and bucket seat w/ console. I would call again and explain its <$400 parts.

I'm just putting my 2 cents in as being annoyed the lesser trimmed models of couirse don't have some features, which is ok, but it is pretty messed up to delete storage on a vehicle.  Of course I'm kinda thinking about getting a Custom Trail Boss next truck, but GM goes and does something like this....  Maybe all the manufactures are doing this, I don't know.  Haven't looked yet.

Sorry I'm new to this forum, I recently received my replacement console for my 2019 custom trailboss and was wondering if I can do it without removing driver seat? Anyone care to share what im up against?  

Thanks.

I don’t think you can I couldn’t, it’s not hard you don’t need to remove it all the way just take out the four bolts and move it just a little out of the way not out completely

Yes it has been done, it requires a re-flash of the ecu, around $100 from the dealer. Which is stated in the link you provided. You will have to factor that into your cost consideration.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

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

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
