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

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By JimCost2014 · Posted

      If what you are doing works, keep doing it:   4LO (Four-Wheel Drive Low) should only be used in extreme low-speed, high-torque situations such as deep mud, heavy snow, steep rock crawling, or extreme inclines/declines, and you must follow the correct engagement procedure to avoid drivetrain damage. Intended Use Cases Deep mud or snow where traction is extremely poor and you need maximum torque to get unstuck Trucks Only+1. Rock crawling on steep, uneven terrain forum.fullsizechevy.com+1. Extreme inclines or declines where you need to control speed and maintain traction solutionsphere.blog. Heavy towing in low-traction conditions (e.g., deep sand, ice) carclubsusa.com.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By rdonarski · Posted

      Hi,   I work a steep boat landing that has patchy blacktop going down the hill and soft sand/gravel at the bottom. Due to low water levels, it's not always possible reach the blacktop. I've had to help several people get out this year already and with fall coming, I'm anticipating more. I always use 4L. There was a gentleman there today with a 2500 HD (actually 2 - him and his son both have them) and they were trying to get his son's wake boat out. This gentleman swears that you should use 4H in the soft gravel. Says he was a farmer and you always use higher gear when stuck. I was wonder what your thoughts on this are? If I'm wrong, it would be good to find out before things get busy.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By Bill Lemmond · Posted

      Looking for feedback from users of roll up aluminum slat bed covers who have had it for more than 3 years. I prefer the aluminum slat style over supported vinyl covers due to security and the capacity to support a light load. The slight loss of bed opening when rolled up is not an issue. Presently have BAK Revolver the "industrial grade vinyl overlay" on mine is shrinking & coming loose at the rear and on both sides in addition to cracking at some of the folding joints. Truck lives outdoors in NC latitude. Can't justify the steep price to replace it with another one if that's the expected lifespan. Do you have a better alternative?

      BAK Revolver bed cover

      Thanks, your last sentence is the root of my problem, outdoors truck and southern latitude = UV overload. Looking at replacing with Rough Country powder coated aluminum slat roll up model.

      Tire fitment

      By JakeD · Posted

      I’m looking at putting a lift in my 2024 gmc sierra 1500 elevation trim, has anyone had any luck with fitting a bigger tire under the rear for a spare?? Was gonna go with a 4 inch zone lift Also what wheel and tire size setup are you all running? Wondering if I can get away with keeping around the stock size a 33 inch, and just get some new wheels to have enough back spacing then I can just keep my original spare tire I have under the truck now.
