I see everyone is going from the jump seat to console. What if your removing the console and want the jump seat? What parts are needed other than the  jump seat assembly? Is the carpet the same under the console? Do all the harness plug in the same?

Welcome to the forum. What model and year is your truck?

I recently bought a center console but they cut the harness off. I currently have 2019 RST jump seat with usb and 12 volt outlet on the back side. I’m Looking to install the center console after figuring out which harness to buy. Any idea which harness I would need?

Im looking to change from seat to console. Wanting to know would a console from a 2019 and up work in my 2025????

Don't do it. It may physically fit in there but its the wrong console. You need one from a "refresh" model 22.5 and up. The console design is different . It has a different shape and the wiring is different. Do you have your shifter on the column?

Yes shifter is on the column. Im assuming id just have to find some way to fill that area with a tray or 3-d printing something to fit that space.

Not sure but I believe the HD trucks use the same console W/O the console shifter. (2500 and 3500). That may be the perfect console for you or the 3D thing would work. Have you checked the price for the full center console? Curios how much they are asking now.

Found a 2023 high country setup. I should have taken photos while I worked but I failed to do so. I got the console from a dude in Dallas for 500$ best price i saw..... he also had the seats (thinking about snagging them from him.) 

The connectors are NOT the same so I stole the wiring from the seat and used it to replace the console wiring. I dont have wireless charging or rear heated seats and of course lost the power to the interior plugs but the rear usb and USB c still work. The key module took a few start/stop cycles to recognize but it worked fine. All in all, really simple. I think there is 1 more trim piece I need to buy that goes right under the dash where the console meets the dash. You can barely see the space unless you get down to eye level.

$ 500.00 is a really good deal for that console. When I installed those consoles the trucks just seemed like a different truck. Enjoy!

Did you do this conversion? Looking into this for our truck and wandering if the wring and all worked.

You can simply take the harness out of the console and put it into the seat. I did that and it worked perfectly (except seat to console swap). I swapped a 2023 high country console into my 2025 Custom. The harness in the 2025 is NOT the same.

      Some Assembly is Required

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

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

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
