Can I put 2015+ Escalade front seats in my ‘16 Sierra RCSB with a power driver seat. And how difficult would it be to wire up the passenger side for power. Don’t care about heated cooled option

The answer is yes but ease will be based on the mounting of the seats. 2014-2019 have 2 -T50 bolts at the back of the seat rails and then have 2 "hooks" at the front of each seat rail. If the Escalade seats have a similar configuration, then the swap is really easy (4 T50 bolts) to get them mounted. Next power can be an issue. Almost all GM power seats use an orange wire for the main power to the seat. Connect orange and a ground then you will have manual control of your power seats. With the complexity of the BCM in the newer trucks, I like the manual control method for all my add-in electrical. I ran #6 battery cable directly from the battery with an inline 100 Amp fuse to the cab for all my power add-in's. My battery is on the passenger side back of engine compartment. I ran the wire thru the top of the fender to an existing rubber grommet into the dash area. The wire also goes behind the 2 glove compartments then to the radio area and where the console may be. I use a 40 Amp relay from the cigarette lighter feed to trigger the relay and switch my power off and on automatically for my amplifiers but for your seat power you want it to be always powered so you can move the seat before starting the truck. My 2019 LD has a "goofy" 3 way fuse to constant power or switch on when the truck is started. I use that signal for my relay. You only need #12 wire for the seats but I oversized so I could put my stereo subwoofer and amps in my console. If you have additional questions, shoot me an email at [email protected]

Could you clarify how to properly connect the power for the seats, especially regarding the orange wire and ground? Thank you.

If you are working on the same thing as OP it will plug right in and work power wise as long as you had a power driver seat to begin with.

The only thing I bought was a wiring harness to by pass the seat memory module on the driver side, But other than that it’s plug and play

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
