I have contacted my local dealer and they won't replace my lid.  Could someone provide step by step instructions on how to do this or the best would be a video?

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 bought a new console for the bench seat! $299.00 brand new. On this vender page the "Removal replacement of center console Custom model" instructions can be found under the tab: DOCUMENTS

Don't forget the instructions. I thought mine was going to be just be the top section, it is the entire assembly. The storage bin is adequate - to say much more than we have a present.

Picked up my Custom Trail Boss yesterday and I really like the truck, mechanically speaking.  My biggest beef is with the interior storage options.  Specifically the fact the center console doesn't have a storage compartment even though the thing is huge and the owner's manual shows there should be a storage compartment.  There's not a storage compartment under the seatback either, despite what appears to be a HUGE empty cushion sitting there.  

 

I have a Z71 Suburban, so I know I'm spoiled but this is crazy how few places there are to store stuff in the cab.  I'm hoping a better center console can be swapped out, but I'm worried about what options may exist with the rear seat power and air vents.  

 

Let me know if anyone comes across anything that can be added or modified to increase the utility for the front seat passengers.  

 

Thanks!

i bought the one from the dealer in texas for around 250 bucks. installed looks like an exact match and now i have center seat storage. bought the under seat storage for the back seat for around the same. so for 500 bucks i have about the same storage the LT has for 10 grand less. no idea why the LT is so much more.

Just picked up our Trail Boss yesterday. Was disappointed as well about the non-existent console both front and back, but especially front. Looking for options, too.

Anyone know if the replacement console will fit the 2020 Trail Boss? 

Did you check the WEB Site? I doubt the seats were redesigned for the 2020, but check with vender. The 2019 center console I got was surprisingly well made. Appears to be GM product.

Some mentioned that you must loosen the bolts holding in the drivers seat.  What is the reason for that?  If it's to access the bolt holding on the seat belt, it looks like to me that you could use an offset wrench to access that bolt head.  Any thoughts on this?

I think your correct. I have one I'm ready to swap and thought that also. I was looking for any comments about removing the plastic covers and any tricks to know. I dont want to damage anything.

Let us know how it went.  Especially if you were able to use an offset wrench (and not loosen the drivers seat) and the size would be helpful.   I have contacted sdparts and they told me they don't have it in stock so I have held off on ordering it....but I hope they will get it soon so I can get it ordered...  Are there other good places to order from?

I loosened the bolts but did not remove just move around.plastic works off just take your time and buy extra clips.  You can use some of them but I just used the new ones.

      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.
