Wanted to give a shout out to @pgamboa for a great experience, apologies if this is in the wrong place (I don’t post much). 

 

Was planning on parting out a console from GMpartsdirect for this swap, and then using Phil’s harness to tie everything together.  Had my parts list in the shopping cart and reached out to Phil to order the harness.  Turns out Phil now has the ability to have a complete, preassembled console from GM shipped directly to my door w/ his harness for about $300 less than what it would cost to do it all part by part.  He offered different console colors, side trim, latch styles, and the option to upgrade to a wireless charging lid.  

 

Based on the reviews here, I sent him a PayPal and had everything I needed within a week.  Now I have a fully operational console for 3/4 of what I would have paid to piece everything together separately. 

 

I would highly recommend Phil’s service to anyone looking to do this mod ??

 

On an unrelated note, I have a beautiful bench seat sitting in my garage right now...

Amen, @pgamboa rocks!  He helped me with my wiring harness when I did the leather seat swap.

Can you give an idea on how much it is out the door to do this swap? Is the bench seat worth anything when you're done with the swap?

$975 total.

$750 - Console
$75 - USB Cables
$150 - Conversion Harness

Jumps seat - if leather, maybe $300-$350 (but shipping will be crazy so aim for local pickup). Cloth, maybe $250-$300

Phil, you're killing me here. So you're saying for under $1,000 you can get an OEM center console in these things? Is that a new center console? shipping?

I believe that his quote was for shipped prices. And yes, he gets them new from his supplier! I think he posted that in his thread that he made :)

Yes. That’s correct. 2018, Brand New Consoles, with the latest wireless charging lid.

 

I haven’t made a public announcement or posting on this yet as I am still recovering from the backlog that was created during the Holidays.

 

The pricing might be increasing a little so that insurance can be added to the shipment. Had a small handful of consoles that arrived damaged.

 

Here are some pics.

I have a 2018 Sierra and would prefer a leather bench seat rather than the fixed console it came with. Anyone willing to swap? In Houston, and if someone knows how to install the bench seat, we'll call it even.

Are you still doing these? If so, I need to get a quote from you!

      OCI, not when but why?

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.

      Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
