I have read your forums about installing an electric seat in place of a manual on a Silverado Trailboss. I wanted to share my experience. On a 2021 Tail Boss I removed the manual driver seat. I was able to purchase an electric seat out of a 2020 Silverado with 23 miles on it ($400). Attaches below is a Power Point I put together to help explain or guide you threw the installation. The seat I purchased had the side air bags in it. Seat bolts right in. Plug the truck harness into the seat and the air bag system works as it should. There are three wires to terminate. The black one is ground, Red is seat power 12 volts, and the small yellow/black strip wire is the lumbar 12 volts. I found no 12vt power in the two wires. I broke these out of the harness and wired them together and connected 12 volts to them. Simply Ran a Red 12vt wire using a 30 amp fuse. Grounded the black wire under the seat to the body. The electric seat including the lumbar works fine. The air bag system is still happy and working. I'm 5'2" and needed the addition.

I wish I could find an electric seat like you did to replace my manual seat. Did you find yours locally or somewhere online? Thanks.

Actually I use a seat cushion and seat cover in my truck and stock settings on the seat aren't bad now....prior to that they felt too low...

Would just like to match the driver seat someday though....

I have the front seats and center console with storage from my SLE for sale. The drivers seat is power, the owner Passengers seat is manual, both with airbags.

      2026 DENALI 6.2L

      By pyoung62 · Posted

      I agree with Tim.  As tech heavy as engines are these days, no way I’d be an early buyer of the new 6.6.  Of course, I bought my ‘26 Denali w/the 6.2 after dumping my Tundra with it’s defective 3.5 liter imploding engine disaster, so I’m a little gun-shy.  That said, my 6.2 has been rock solid.  I don’t drive it like I do my BMW Z4 M40i, but I don’t baby it either.  I got a V8 for a reason.  But I’m averaging 18 around town and 22 highway.  I have seen 24 highway as well when I wasn’t loaded up heavy.  Considering my Tundra with the twin turbo V6 only got 14.5 in town and 17 on the road, I’ll take the 6.2 all day, every day.  If I were you, I’d grab a ‘26 while you can.  Inventories are probably gonna start dropping and I’ll bet the deals will start looking sweeter as well.

      Can you add a 360° Cameras hard button to a 2021 Sierra?

      By ShowMeShooter1332 · Posted

      I am curious if anyone has figured out a way to add an hard button AUX or 360 Camera switch to the center row of switches. I have a 2021 AT4, and want to split the hill decent button and add a 360 camera button so that you don't have to go into the center display and locate the camera functionality, etc...   My father's 2024 Yukon XL AT4 and it has a hard button, see below. I found this thread on the Yukons, but it seems like there may not be a part number for the 2021 sierras. https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/255339-adding-hard-button-for-camera-on-2021/ Anyone else figured this out. Seems like it would need to be a custom switch!   I am getting ready to install the auto stop/start eliminator, so would be nice to knock them out at once.     Upvote1Downvote0Go to comments

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter.
