Placed my order for all the parts (I think). About $800 into it right now. Will see what comes in. Parts department seems to think this will be all I will need.  I ordered the parts off of Gmpart

I will be installing myself. I'll try and get pictures of the progress and any issues I stumble across. There will probably be extra parts that I missed.

Hi guys!    I may not have my 2016 Silverado anymore but I helped many people with this upgrade on the previous body style (which was much easier and less part numbers required). I attached

Shoot me a pic of your console. I might be interested.

I just preformed this swap on my 2019 LT. work great. Only issue is the sd card reader doesn't seem to work inside the console. My sd reader is on the dash so it doesn't bother me. The console I went with has the wireless charging and it works great. email me for info if interested. [email protected]

I will be more than glad to share the part numbers and any info I have. I also have a jump seat like the one above that I will be selling.

Can you send me a list of what you ordered for the swap? Thanks

Looking to swap out the jump seat for the center console in my 2019 sierra. Was wondering if anyone had any information on the steps involved in removing the seat and the install of the console

Center seat has 4 bolts, 2 on each side if I’m not mistaken when I did mine the rear bolts where difficult to access so I had to unbolt my seats to access them because the rail was on the way but that might have been just me

Thanks for the info! is there anything that connects the end of the console to the dash and did you have to remove that storage compartment that is under there?

There is a piece of trim that is suppose to be replaced that is under the radio when swapping for a console. If you don’t get it replaced it will leave a gap between your radio and your console

This shows some of the steps for the console.There are additional parts needed to make the swap complete,trims piece for the dash and swapping out a USB port if you don't have a jump seat with storage to start there may not be wiring under the passenger seat for the new console.

Hi guys! 

 

I may not have my 2016 Silverado anymore but I helped many people with this upgrade on the previous body style (which was much easier and less part numbers required). I attached some helpful .pdf files for part numbers needed, these are based on a 2019 High Country Silverado 1500, black, with wireless charging (K4C). 

 

I am more than happy to assist with different options you may be looking for, I would just need a VIN from a truck with the exact console you want. I am not on here daily anymore but feel free to contact myself or one of our other reps at [email protected].

2019 CONSOLE (1).pdf

2019 CONSOLE (2).pdf

2019 CONSOLE (3).pdf

2019 CONSOLE (4).pdf

I have a question about the  number 2 pdf. Is there a way to change part 4 out to the wireless changer thats found on the LTZ's or High Country.

Do you have the part number for that harness with that connector? I am installing a jump seat from a salvage yard into my custom. Trying to figure out the best way to connect the existing wiring harness (of the LT jump seat with the usb charger and cig lighter) to utilize those ports. Don't really want to run a random wire to a fuse box, if I can find an existing part number that this harness (PT # 84535195) will connect into.

      This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      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?

      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.
