I own a 2015 Silverado 2500HD 6.6L D-Max Lt. My truck has cloth interior and does not have heated seats but does have a power drivers seat. My passenger seat is a manual seat.

I have the opportunity to purchase leather seats and a center console from a 2018 1500 LTZ. I have already read nearly every post here and else where and know that It's not easy and for me, possible to make the heated seat portion work. I am ok with that. My question is, can I just swap out the bottoms of the seats with my current seats and bolt them back in?

 I understand that I can just buy Katzkin leather seat covers for my current seats but the guy I could buy this stuff from wants to sell it all as a package. 1100 for everything. The Katzkin covers for my truck are 600 bucks off ebay and the center consoles on ebay are about 800. So it would benefit me to buy this fellas stuff.

 Would it be possible to piece my seats bottom section to those seats and bolt them back in?

As you said it would be difficult maybe impossible to get the factory heaters to work. As far as the seats and console you can swap them out only thing on console is you would need to get a harness made to go from jump seat to console for everything to work.

Reach out to @pgamboa (Harness Dr) on the forum, adding the heated seats may not be that complicated..

      Injector update

      By iso221 · Posted

      Because single shot injectors are ancient and multi hole injectors provide smoother running engines and sharper throttle response due to the fuel being atomized better..the best lead I have is a 24lb blue top injector almost everything matches up but the injector will put out about 26lb/hr which is just outside the gm threshold.figured id ask here to see if there was an absolute answer

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Why is my question?   Any change in injectors requires a tune. Unless you are going back with the OEM part number or a newer part number of that same injector.   Any size difference or type difference like the EV6 style injectors all have different injector data for them. And there is no EV6 injector that matches the factory 25 lb/hr size that your truck comes with. I've been messing with these trucks and tuning them for a long time and what you trying to do doesn't exactly make sense to me.

      When a condition becomes a business model.    https://www.gm-trucks.com/gm-truck-suv-incentives-pricing-2026/   Zane posted this in "Latest Articles".    The honest bottom line   Truck buyers have spent three years assuming this is a temporary condition that will break once inventories normalize. GM just presented it to investors as a durable strategy, on a chart, as evidence of good management.   Inventory did normalize. GM is at 511,000 units and squarely inside its own 50 to 60 day target. The discounts still did not come back, because the low incentive number is the goal rather than a symptom of shortage.   Plan your purchase around that reality instead of waiting for it to change. Follow our ongoing GM News coverage for pricing and incentive changes as the next-generation trucks land.

      Winter Returned

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Thought it was raining this morning when we woke. Nope. Dew point was over 80 F and humidity 98%. Zero visibility distance. Everything was 'sweating'. I've seen rain come out of clouds but never out of Pepper or the tree trunks.    Wicked storms just missed us sliding off to the east but by blocks. Heat index about 110 F with air temp in the 90's.    This is  our third wave this month of multiple days of this type of weather. And yet the grass is going dormant and the ground is cracking this side of the street and water up the the hood opposite. Just weird stuff going on.
