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.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
