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?

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      But Grumpy I did show several subdivisions that had homes starting in the 170K range. If you bought a Townhouse or Condo you could go cheaper. Same with a car 3000 dollars in the 70s translates to around 20K today. There are several models at that price. You actually get more for the money. In the 70s I drove a 3000$ car bought a 28K home and made 4.50 per hour. Thank goodness for overtime. Today I could buy a 170K house drive a 20K car and make 25 dollars an hour operating the same machine today. The difference the house, car, machine would be better and have AC. And I wouldn’t be taxed on overtime. And statistically your wife works too. Easing the burden. I thought we agreed to disagree. I brought receipts earlier, showing examples. I think you’re more stubborn than me. I was done with this debate.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.
