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..

      NEW TRUCK

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      Get the 5.3. I`m not a Ford guy.😉   I think these L84`s are less problematic than the L83`s. Certainly less than the L87.

      NEW TRUCK

      By PUSSLEGUT · Posted

      I have finally paid off my mortgage and can now purchase a new truck. I would greatly appreciate any opinions on the purchase of a new 2026 GMC Denali 5.3L or 6.2L with the Denali reserve package. I am not interested in the 3.0L.  Or should I go buy a Ford?   Thank, John

      One of the few things I enjoyed about my time in the midwest was taking off on weekend drives. Unlike home, where we are boxed in by mountains and water, those rules don't apply to the inland plains. Roads connect and sprawl everywhere. While Minnesota is flat, it's not completely featureless and there are fast moving rural roads with curves and slight elevation changes. I used to relish heading out in a particular direction with no set destination, no curfew, and weaving through little townships, wherever the roads would take me. Along farms, lakes, or through the deciduous trees... It was beautiful in its own way, and the seasons were so distinct there. Fall drives yielded amazing shows of color and contrast. Summer drives rewarded with the and amber evening glow of the prairie (and lots of juicy bugs).    I do a lot of that here in my home state too. But it's much less mysterious/intriguing. I've traveled most roads in the region, and every road that's fun to drive within a good radius of my house. But every drive, even on the same old roads, is still enjoyable. I know where I can lean hard into the throttle or really throw the car into a curve. There are exercise loops for when I just need to keep certain cars limber, and much longer routes to settle in and enjoy a drive and put some miles on. All the mountains and water make for some really awesome roads for spirited driving. But not all my driving is spirited, for example, that's not really enjoyable in my pickup or this Blazer (that's still here...).   Sometimes a good drive is followed by a ritualistic wash before tucking the car away...

      L8S For 2027

      By C/K Man · Posted

      'GMAuthority' is reporting the 2027 HD's will have the L8S 6.6L gasoline V-8.  There was some talk here about the L8S awhile back.  Not sure what changes it will have now as it seems the 2027 emissions regulations have changed from what was originally proposed.  The big question will be is L8S just a stopgap for the last 2 years of the current T1 HD platform or will it carry forward to the next generation 2029 T1-2 HD's?    I assume the L8S will still be a Gen. V engine.

      New Duramax rumor?

      New engines will still be using DEF. You just won't have the limp modes occurring when you run out of DEF now.
