I know I'll catch some wrath here, but I'm looking to swap the center console on my 2020 2500HD AT4 Sierra for a jump seat.  We just had our forth child and we can no longer take the truck anywhere as a family.  I've got a couple questions that I think members will likely be able to answer.

  1. Will this swap leave anything unfinished on the underside of the dash below the controls?
  2. Will there be carpet under the current storage area of the console?
  3. I've been able to locate a number of 1500 jump seats, but can't find any 2500HD.  Will a 1500 work in a 2500?  My seats are black leather now.

 

Thank you

I can't answer any of your questions but I might be able to help. I have a 2020 2500HD Custom. My jump seat had no storage, I had to have storage so I went looking for a jump seat with storage. I ended up installing one with top and bottom storage out of a 2016 Tahoe. It did not bolt in. I had to make brackets out of 1" flat stock. Easy process just took time. I don't have the wiring for all of the charger ports in the Tahoe console but I have them on the dash. To get a direct fit for a 2020 I think you might have to buy one for a 2020. Watch EBay, these Municipalities buy new vehicles and rip the consoles and jump seats out to install their equipment.

I have the same EXACT “issue” (four kids, want six seats) and the same questions. I’m in the market for a 2020 2500HD and want all the nice tech of the LTZ but I need the jump seat.

 

I’ve seen videos of people swapping out the jump seat with console in 1500s, but nothing in 2500s. I did, however, measure the rear base of a 2500 and 1500 console and they are exactly the same. I believe they are interchangeable. But I have not fully confirmed that as fact yet. Hoping folks on here can help with that ?

Do you have any pics?  I’m doing this exact conversion in my 2500.  Did you weld the flat stock to existing?  Thanks

I had to have my son sit in the middle of a 2020 1500 single cab.  With his carseat his feet were touching every dash control.  
 

I cant imagine doing that full time, its hard enough getting three carseats in the back as it is

i believe the  LTZ does come in bench seat.....its either a 1500 or 2500 but i have seen them in bench seats with leather

 

EDIT: yes LTZ is available in 6 seats

I got mine done today.  Have a buddy that’s a welder.  We raised the console a little for comfort.  I’m 6’5” and I’ve always disliked how low the armrest is.  Turned out well, and everything is getting wrapped in red Katzkin next week.

So I habe a 2020 2500 HD Custom. I have a jump seat but no storage compartments. Any ideas where I can find a replacement that has the top and bottom storage compartments along with the AC vents and USB in the back?

 

Thanks.

I just bought a 2020 3500 HD and I'm looking to trade my jump seat for a center console if anybody is interested. I will pay for shipping. The seat is dark gray fabric and there are 0 cosmetic blemishes given that it is brand new. Also, it has storage on top and under the seat.

I would purchase this off you. I’m looking to upgrade to a jump seat with storage. Let me know, thanks!

Yes. This pic below is from a buddy that has a 2020 3500hd denali. Converted to the 6th seat all leather. Has storage top and bottom including all the accessories behind it. The woofer was mounted under the rear seats. Woofer can be abandoned as well with no issues to sound system. The seat is from a 2019/2020 which is the new style so it was just a simple bolts out and back in. No welding no issues. Simple swap. 

 

I have a 2021 3500hd denali that I am looking to do the same to. If someone wants to swap me for their jumper seat that has storage top and bottom including the 2 usb and air vents in the back let me know. I have the jet black leather interior.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.

      NewDude, thank you for the suggestions!    I did follow up and the dealer indicates he has an open CX case and is working with DPAC (Dealer Parts Assistance Center).   Per the dealer, GM has had a quality spill and is not providing an update for when a replacement engine will be available.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      By Silver Yeti · Posted

      That's interesting.   There was a factory wire-hole in the back, top of the rear cab, which had a wire for the third brakelight assembly running through it, as well as several holes (10 of them I believe) for all of the studs coming off of the 3rd brakelight assembly itself.   I sealed all of those holes with RTV/silicone as well.   I found it kind of odd, that none of those holes, were sealed with any kind of sealant by the factory - if there was any there, it wasn't very much.   That said, I've been out in heavy rain and have ran the truck through high-pressure car-washes a few times now and she has been 100% water-tight to this point.   I feel very confident in the repair, we'll see how it holds up.

      2024 Silverado 2500 HD with the 6.6 Gas (L8T) Engine

      By Jay-22-2500 · Posted

      I bought a used 2022 2500hd with 6.6L in February. In March took a 2200 mile trip towing our 6500 lb trailer. Changed the oil day before leaving and when we were arriving at our 1st destination, low oil light came on (roughly 1000 miles) it was 2 qts low. Now it towed like a dream, no issue there, and we did go through the mountains of TN, but still, 2 qts! Luckily I did purchase an extended warranty. Brought it to the dealership in April, oil change and consumption test. Brought it back last week, 1300 miles, no towing, and no oil showing on the dipstick. GM is reccomending a new engine (cheaper than them rebuilding), we'll see if the warranty company comes through.

      T3's and Ibuprofen. I do have a cryotherapy unit (ice machine) and a lift chair that will allow me to raise my legs above my heart.  There are topicals that I can use once the wound is fully healed.
