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,

Did my swap this weekend. It's so nice having the storage now in the arm rest. eb0483c6c0a1493f908a086769f5b6a3.jpg23f6c808e38e00a3f6ce3c3ba11bceb9.jpg5ec0b77004ec2a5c1c1e4e75e845ac0c.jpg57c97a4a6ea245f52ae688dcc54fd8f9.jpgbc4eb1157ea1dac8c8d263b8e57d1836.jpgc71fbe6745a48afbdbbc48af90090ece.jpg

Congrats !!! I’m going to install mine tomorrow also. I’ve been hearing these are getting harder and harder to obtain from the dealer and gmparts places on the web.

Thanks! And yes, they are getting much harder to find. I waited over a month for mine.

I ordered from sdparts.com in October.....have heard nothing.  Glad you guys are getting on with your project.  Just wondering if there is a place (email or web site) that we could give our dissatisfaction to GM about this situation....

I canceled my order from sdparts after waiting a month and a half. Ordered from GM parts outlet.net and got it in 3 days.

Got it installed. A slight PITA, but it’s in. Only casualties were a couple of clips (got more from OReileys) and ripped one of the plastic tabs that the clips attach to and had to glue the clip to the tab. Nothing  TOO bad.

Got my replacement arm rest installed tonight. I agree, it’s kind of a PITA but it’s done and it’s good to have that storage back.. it was worth it..

FYI, I was told that armrest 84647286 is discontinued and is being superseded by 84756948. Of course on backorder, but I will let everyone know when it arrives.

I replaced the entire center seat in my work truck with one that came out of a salvage yard.  Now I have the full storage of the higher trim models in my WT.    If you only replace the armrest (top portion) then you don't get the under seat locking storage... right?

 

The unit I picked up includes the power and USB outlet for the back seat passengers, but the wiring harness is not set up to plug this in on the work truck.   I figure I'll just leave those plugs dead.  My main objective was to get the storage.  But if anybody knows an easy way to hook up these outlets so they work, I'd appreciate it.    

 

By the way... if anyone else is looking swap the center seat as well like I did, I searched for it on car-part.com and ended up finding it from Schram Auto Parts in Michigan.  It cost me $400 including shipping to California.  It's an easy swap (4 bolts hold it in) but does require that you unbolt the drivers and passenger seat to get to the rear bolts for the center seat.  It took me about an hour or so.  The GM part number for the entire seat is: 202.GM8M19.  I now have a center seat with no storage now that I'd be willing to sell to someone cheap if you want it!

Sorry if I missed it somewhere but do the replacements (84647286) have USB plugs inside?

Also, anybody know where they are actually in stock?

I didn't have any luck with online retailers. Had to bite the bullet and order from the dealer. It's on critical back order so in order to get in line for the part My dealer said I would need to special order the part and prepay. I did that. They gave me wholesaler pricing at $328. Then said the parts manager would open a spec case, but needed a VIN that uses that part. Talked to my service writer and he found an LT on the lot with center storage so I used that VIN. Now I'm patiently waiting. Ordered mine Dec 17- waiting for update. Will advise once received. If anyone hears about anyone having in stock, lmk.

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

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
