New to the forum, just recently purchased a 2017 Chevy Silverado LT. I have always been a full center console guy but I was just not able to find the right truck with a console. Long story short the truck I bought does not have the full center console. My question is can I pull a full center console from a 14-18 silverado/sierra in a salvage yard and install it in my truck?  Interested to see if anyone has done this or if anyone knows if it can be done.  Thanks

short answer yes long answer is check out this topic. I just recently did mine from a 2500 center console into my 1500. So it definitely works.

Welcome to this forum!  As already suggested,  there is no shortage of information and examples of this modification.  A full centre console looks good and provides a lot of  storage space.  The setup like you currently have also offers ample storage for personal items and refreshments.   My setup is like yours and I had often thought of doing the swap.  This was until my son and his wife had their third child.  Without a full console, you can carry five passengers along with the driver. You won't have as much room for handy "stuff"  but you'll have room for an extra passenger.   You can always find space for "stuff"  but if you make the switch  you reduce the passenger capacity of your truck.  I know this seems obvious but sometime we look at trucks without the centre console as somewhat less desirable.  The jump seat actually serves a purpose and can be an advantage over a full centre console.

It's not bad but it isn't complete so already up to $450 with s/h. No trim pieces, no inserts, probably no wiring harnesses either or the bracket for bolting it down in the front. I bet by time you gather the rest of the pieces you're up to $6-7-800 depending on where you get them from. I'd rather fully support @pgamboa and get a quality harness plus a BRAND NEW (not "plastic may be scuffed") center console.

I already responded to you in the marketplace but get in touch with @pgamboa. He sells new consoles with wiring harness and the '18 upgrade to wireless charging lid too.

You can get by without the front bracket. I didn't put one in my truck.

How did you secure it under the dash? The front mounting bracket is the last part I need (I thought) but if I don’t need it, I’ll start my swap today.

I didn't. The four bolts on the floor are plenty enough to hold it.

Great, thanks! I will go without then so I don’t have to wait for the bracket to be delivered. I appreciate your help! How long did the swap take you, out of curiosity?

      injector cleaner 2021 2.7 1500 silverado

      By TheGeek · Posted

      From what I gather, you have a 2.7 Diesel  You cannot use Chevron gas in it.  Howes has a diesel add-in and it states it cleans injectors.  Me personally, wouldn't bother with it.  If it's not broke, don't fix it.     Just my two cents worth.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By KARNUT · Posted

      Looking up on the web you can the information that would seem obvious. You asked engine components to do more. You get more wear. The answer is they can last just as long but required more maintenance. Apparently having to change lifters, cam and associated components are maintenance or repairs. In some research the normal life span of valve train components are 80-100 miles with 3-5K miles oil change. So the next logical conclusion would be cost per mile. I use that analogy with my wife all the time with vehicles. My Odyssey is approaching 170K. The cost per mile will go up at 200K with maintenance. Looking at a low cost car. A K-4 with a 10-10 warranty. Selling my Ridgeline that’s about to hit the same maintenance milestone. My argument becomes not only I get worry free driving. But at no cost increases. Because I take the money from my Ridgeline and maintenance savings and other potential savings. I’m driving for free. So tying it with a bow. It makes you wonder. Is this a grand conspiracy by the auto makers? Raise the potential maintenance high enough. Buyers by extended warranty to 100K miles. Do the minimum maintenance required. Trade in at the warranty end. How long should they last? That question is what keeps people up at night. The answer is much more complicated than it used to be.

      Could you cite your source on this?  I cannot find any reference to the US secretly taking the oil.  I find references that the US helped oil tankers move through the Strait of Hormuz, but nothing about what you're stating.

      Gas Prices

      Since the media YOU and your buddies are programmed to watch failed to mention this, I'll fill you in.   Trump admitted today that we've grabbed 150 MILLION barrels of oil from the Iranian tankers locked in the Strait by our Navy. We turned off their transponders, took them out to sea in the dark of night since they have zero radar capabilities anymore, offloaded every drop onto another vessel, and put them back by morning so no one was the wiser. That oil has been en-route THROUGHOUT the entire conflict.   Main reason he admitted this is to let even guys on our own side who joined leftists in complaining about the prices that he hears us all, and has taken steps to make sure this didn't spiral into a BAD situation ... just like the mainstream media has been PRAYING would happen, just so they could gloat. Amazes me how these people are rooting for the destruction of THEIR OWN HOME, just to make a President they don't agree with or like look bad! That's next level TDS!   I know your not capable of giving our President the benefit of the doubt, again due to your deep programming, but THIS is why oil never hit $150 a barrel as predicted by your programmers, AND the reason oil continues falling. Like I said before, Trump's got a plan, and this is proof of it. By the end of his term, we're going to be in GREAT shape for a change!   Since I just spent $3,000 this week on #2 heating oil and gasoline, the war most certainly is ending! 🤣   https://mxmnews.com/article/ba359ac9-2711-4851-92de-187f2400f2dd?breaking-trump-cancels-iran-strikes-deal-now-approved-by-all-parties
