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?

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.

      Some Assembly is Required

      Gas Prices

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
