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.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.

      286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔
