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,

For those who swapped out the center consoles.  The clips from gm. They are priced at 2.25. Is that for the pack of 5 or each?  Do I need to add 5 or is it a pack of 5?  

 

Also. When changing the console. Does the driver and passenger seat need to be removed or just loosen?

You just need to loosen all four bolts on the drivers seat you don’t need to remove it just move it a little to the side

I just found this online. I paid 290 for mine with a hook up at a bodyshop. This is a better deal for those who don't want today shipping.

Yup. That’s the one I’ll be ordering.  But I want them clips from gm. But not for 17.50 shipping lol.   Gotta find them somewhere else after I order this console

The price for the clips is each and you need 5 of them.
All 4 of the bolts holding down the driver seat need too be removed so that the entire seat can be moved forward and back as required to get to the hardware of the center console and seatbelt attachment. There is a wire attached to the seat for something that prevents you from being able to completely removed the seat. No easy plug to just simply unplug and be able to remove.
The passenger seat can just be slid all the way back and then reclined to gain access to the side of the console.

Well I found the center storage same price as the one from gm but with free shipping. 

 

So I was was just going to order the clips from gm but they want 17.50 for shipping LOL.  Does anyone have a picture of the clips so I can see if local part stores have anything like them

I bought everything from my dealer hassle free. Might have paid a little more but there were no hidden shipping fees that I got slapped accross the face with at checkout.

Here is what I was quoted from my dealer.

Only tax was added to the prices.

 

Console

8464-7286 $438 +tax

 

Replacement clips

1154-9266. $3.46 each +tax

5 required

 

Rear wheel well liners

(Hardware kit included)

8426-3801. $150 +tax

I just purchase the 2019 Trail Boss ,custom, and love it except I can not understand  why they would not have ANY storage in the center console that folds into a jumpseat.!!!!! Anyone have any part numbers for a replacement? I want a center console with some storage......ugh.

Also, if anyone has added anything to the accessories I would be interested, i.e. extra USB, security system, DECK, tool box drawers for the bed.  Thanks!!

I just bought a 2019 Trail Boss last week and was dumbfounded that the armrest console doesn't open up for storage.  It reminds me of when you order cable or satellite tv. You want to get  a certain channel, so you have to order the next higher package with a lot of channels you don't want or need.  If I wanted an LT I'd have ordered it.  It's ridiculous that the center console of a custom level truck doesn't have storage.  I think the last truck that I had without center console storage must've been in the 80's.  Bad call G.M. / Chevy.

custom = cheap = lowest model available. it doesn't mean it was a custom built truck

 

I agree it is a piss poor decision to remove it, but that's why the truck was so cheap.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
