Does anyone know why Ventilated Seats are not available in a Trailboss? Is the wire harness the same as a truck equipped with cooled seats? If I can find a clean one from a Salvage yard I'd like to install it. 

 

Thoughts?

Not available because the Trail Boss is an LT trim truck.  They aren't available on the LT.  Not sure if they are even available on the RST.  LTZ and High Country for sure.  Only two options I really wanted and couldn't get:  Cooled seats and power folding tow mirrors (mine are manual fold).

Good luck locating a totaled 2019-2020 LTZ or HC.

I do not believe they're available on the RST either. I bought a pretty high spec'd out model and when I inquired about cooled seats they were an option to even special order at the time. (Disclaimer May have changed for 2020)

To sell you an AT4.

 

Actual cooled seats went away for the 2016 MY. They are vented seats now. Available LTZ/SLT and up.
 

I would not buy $1000 worth of seats and expect it to plug and play. The BCM probably has some involvement in their operation since they are programmable with remote start.

Leather option in RST includes only the non perforated heated 10 way seats. Ventilated seats available only in the top line models......a gimmick, no cooling it just blows air from under the seat.......came standard in my Traverse and don't even have the power to flutter a tissue placed on the seat or blow back a fart.

Naw, no gimmick. They are pretty damn nice in my Silverado. Granted, if the truck has been sitting in the sun all day, they can only do so much, but it’s still noticeable. And they make huge impact on sticky muggy nights when the sun isn’t a factor.

True, I can see that. I'm not a huge fan of leather for that reason and becuase I have to big ole dogs that can risk tearing it.

Yeah, I would generally prefer cloth for most uses, but the cloth seats in my 2016 aged like milk. The driver’s seat looked like a worn out couch after 25k. The 19s seem to have a better material from what I’ve seen. But so far my leather is holding up good too with no dogs and only the occasional messy kid.

There is a clean black pair available salvaged in Ohio. I'm currently located in Texas so I bet some will pop up soon. I do a ton of mountain biking and I didn't think I would miss ventilated seats this much. They're a miracle after riding 10+ miles in 80+ heat. 

 

I'm going to keep looking for at least the driver seat locally. Even if I have to wire it through a switch.

i installed vented seats with memory in my RST.  memory and powerfold mirror was plug and play.  vented seats do not work.  I need bcm programming, or to create my own lin bus or just a separate switch.

Just got pricing from Katzkin for my sierra. For front two seats perforated leather: 1595.  To add ventilation was another 1495 WOW that is expensive. Is that the pricing others have seen?

 

All four seats just leather was 1895. Still 1495 to add ventilation on front.

 

She was claiming this was installed price.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!

      I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID.    In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want.   GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time.    A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.
