I have 2019LD, I am the second owner, it has a little over 14k on it. The original owner did the console swap, but said there is no HMI to hookup the USB Cables. I pulled the glove compartment off, there is no HMI there, just a big empty space. I took the radio display off, found WiFi, XMradio module stacked behind it.

I looked under the passenger seat, there is a USB cable there, it's not hooked up to anything. The USB is working, I am not sure what it is hooked up to, the original owner told me it went to the jump seat he removed (He gave me the jump seat in case I wanted to use it later). I used the USB module from the original jump seat, plugged it into the USB cable under the passenger seat, it works, found the truck also has Android and Apple Play activated and working. The console has 4 USB plugs, 2 inside the console, and 2 in the console trim piece. The arm rest also has a wireless charging pad, I pulled the arrest apart, it has the updated charging module, 84526978, it wasn't plugged in, but it is now, and it charges my iPhone 14.

Can I use the USB plug under the passenger seat to get the console USB working, and will all 4 work, or only 1 or 2?

you can get a harness to get it working from the Harness doctor ...

The 2019 LD is the old body style. The previous owner said he bought the harness installed from that site, it is installed and powers the cigarette lighter plugs, the light inside the storage compartment, and that is what powers the lid charger, it's this one https://harnessdr.com/product/16-pin-center-console-conversion-harness/

The issue I am having is the USB connections, the USB isn't part of that harness. The harnessdr website shows 2 USB cables running from the HMI to the USB connections in the console. This truck doesn't have an HMI to plug the 2 USB cables into.

I have attached a picture from the harnessdr showing the 2 USB cables and the HMI. Does the USB under the passenger seat work well enough to power the 4 USB outlets, or do I need tear the truck apart to find the other end of where the USB under the passenger seat is connected to and look there for the 2 USB ports?

I think @pgamboa would be able to answer this as he is the one selling. Otherwise if you have Facebook, you can go to his page and reach him on Messenger. He's very responsive there.

I will try FaceBook Messenger. I sent him a message from the Contact Us on the harnessdr website over a week ago, no response. Might be busy, or maybe out of town, not sure.

I decided to make an attempt to see if it will work. I ordered the USB Cable, 84022315, green on one end, grey on the other end. I think I can trim just the clip off the green connector and plug it into the USB under the passenger seat. I measured the input to the USB trim, and am assuming it is the same dimensions as the output side if the USB. This should allow me to retain the green plug intact, less the retention clip, then, plug the grey end into the USB in the trim. The black to brown cable is already plugged into the USB in the trim on what he called the output side of the trim USB plug (Black plug), and the brown to the USB Connector in the console that I am assuming powers the USB plugs in the storage area. I am trying not to remove the console. I will see if it will work, and if it has enough power for all 4 USB plugs. I find it odd the one USB cable is there for the internal USB plugs, but the other USB isn't. The cable should be here on Friday, so I will know on Saturday if it will work or not.

      Exhaust heat while towing!

      By fondupot · Posted

      You can install tailpipes that direct the exhaust sideways vs the OEM one that goes straight back. There are several on the market, do you own research. HOWEVER, you need to make sure the Venturi vents are still intact, otherwise it will throw a engine code. There is a sensor somewhere that detects back pressure on the exhaust. And if it doesn't collect the correct metrics, it will throw the truck into limp mode.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      "Teardown" is complete. Head surfaces are clean and ready, new intake is prepped and ready. Coolant drained and water pump is removed, radiator is removed, new hoses and pump are ready.   The replacement intake is also from a '95 (with I think 260k, the odometer said). Noticeably less pitting where it covers the rear coolant passages. I'm not sure if that's a tribute to more frequent use, more frequent coolant changes/upkeep, or if the intake was machined at some point. But it appears I found a good one.   My coolant hoses were original, and the lower hose still retained the factory spring inside. It's not really rusty, but it's got deposits all over it. Unsure if I should re-install it (will thoroughly clean it first). Someone said hose technology has gotten better since 1995 (has it?) and I don't need the spring. I think modern EPDM is what made those hoses last from 1995-2026, so it's a question of how much suction can the water pump really pull, and will it collapse the hose without a spring?   I'm stopped and waiting for parts, however.   When I first brought the truck home, the fan was intermittently hitting the radiator shroud. I could see someone had monkeyed with the shroud (put a bunch of cardboard as a spacer between the upper/lower shroud halves. Someone said the motor mounts have likely failed and the engine has sagged. I wasn't sure I believed that. The engine is really solid in its mounts: To remove the old intake I *just* nearly permanently welded to the heads with freshly cured RTV and gasket snot two weeks ago, I literally had to use the arms on my lift and a chain with a bolt attached to the intake to pull it loose. It almost picked the front of the truck off the ground before ....scuuuuuuuuuuup.... I could actually hear the gaskets tearing and it broke loose and the whole truck settled back down. Motor barely moved.   SO, those parts I'm waiting on... The lower radiator mounts/bushings had completely failed. The radiator needs to be insulated from the rad support, and the bushings help the rad stand at the correct height. The plastic "baffle" was also destroyed at some point. Someone had attached the shroud to it incorrectly, overlapping a joint that should have been underlapped, creating another suspect issue potentially causing things to hit the fan. Broken tabs, side is busted off, and it's perma-formed/bent where it was jimmied incorrectly.   The baffle? Unobtainum. Long since discontinued from GM, of course. Aftermarket/capa/chinese? Also unobtanium. In GM's infinite wisdom, it appears there are at least two different variations whether the Blazer is 2 or 4 door, and I can't yet tell if they shared the same part with the S-pickups. Plan B, if I can't find a viable used one, will be to create a bracket to re-assemble the critical joint I need to seal a gap with the shroud. But that will bug me, it won't be...perfect.   The water pump bolts appear to have been installed with...plumber's putty. I guess, sure, if it works...? I've found a few "backyard fixes" like that. Someone's been here before....   If I can't find someone to jam bamboo under my fingernails to fill my free time this week I think I'll install the driver's power window motor and replace the rear door speaker that's inop. I've got a genuine GM "9.5" ohm working replacement. Why GM used a non-standard resistance....nevermind. Of course they did, you can get more sound from a cheap factory amp that way.   And the saga goes on...

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      // Thank you, also for your  response. More information is always good. This 2013 GMC is most likely my 'forever truck"-I'm 77 and retired...and truck only has 42K on it-very clean-so I try to keep it that way.  Tks again for your  response- glenn

      Alternate wiring for Kicker sub with Bose system. (DO THIS)

      By smooth68 · Posted

      I started my install this weekend. Everything was pretty straight forward but I ran into one issue with running power through the firewall. The nipple grommet on my High Country already has a small harness running through it - has anyone else ran into this issue? And on the engine bay side, does the wire basically just penetrate the factory wiring boot? I did this on my '22 Trail Boss and it seems much easier but thats been a few years. My other thought would be possibly drilling a new hole adding a rubber grommet just to the lower left of the factory hole. Thoughts?   Has anyone used a T-harness off the Bose amp and obtained power from there? It seems a little odd that such a small amp needs 3 power leads

      By glenn27 · Posted

      ///// Ok--Thanks for that info--I could not find yesterday when I looked for the specs on that NAPA filter what I wanted. Their website is not very user friendly. I buy all teh filters for  our three vehicles once or twice a year. Have always run NAPA Gold on everything I own....I buy it thru my Son's account for his business-which he has a Heavy Equipment repair shop-one reason he uses NAPA so much-they have such a full line of coverage for just about anything/anywhere- He gets s  good discount because of volume bought. Anyway-Thank you -Sir for your response.   glenn
