** Do this at your own risk!!!   Alright, here is most of what you need to know if you are wanting to install AT4/Denali/HighCountry/LTZ (or any seat with a driver seat memory module) leathe

@Kyle W Thank you for the timely responses!

 

i will check on that now, but what happened with me is i installed the seats in the front and they both didn’t work, and i got the service restraints system message, i out my cloth seats back in and it went away. That’s when i came across your post here. My main concern is with the driver seat. I wanted to deter from buying the memory bypass harness just to save some money.

@HHHhappy to help! It's a little difficult to figure it out that's why I wanted to make this post.

 

Try and disconnect the battery before swapping the seats next time to see if the service restraint light doesn't come on. I never got that message so I am not sure what's going on there. 

 

So on the driver seat, I have swapped a cloth harness into an at4 seat and a Denali seat with the memory module. It's not terrible but you will definitely want the seats out of the vehicle to do it. Take your time and take pictures as you take it apart to help remember how to put it back together. I would start with removing the harness from the leather memory module seat that way if you brake a connector or something you know what not to do on the harness you will be using lol. There are a lot of connectors and stuff. Definitely need an assortment of small flathead screw drivers and needle nose pliers. Be very careful with the zippers on the rear of the seat to open the back cover (it will make sense once you start taking it apart). I broke one and it caused the top seat cover to need repaired/replaced. Feel free to ask questions as they come up and I will try and respond asap

@HHH that is the hardest one..... I believe my skinny hands came in clutch on that part lol. You shouldn't have to remove the whole cover. I am not exactly sure what it looked like but I remember it being difficult

@Kyle W Hey Kyle, Harness is out of the leather seat now. So to my understanding regarding the cloth seat harness, the only thing i need to transfer is the cloth harness and plug it in exactly where it is plugged in prior?

@HHHAlright!! Yes, the cloth harness will have all the plugs except for the memory module plugs and the cooled seat plugs.

@HHHalso, remove the memory module if you haven't already. No reason to leave it under there

@HHHso basically repeat the steps to remove the cloth harness and then install it into the leather seat

@Kyle W will do tomorrow and will keep you updated Kyle!, my second question would be what is the purpose of the 30 Fuse and where does it plug in?, is it for the passenger seat?

@HHHokay, cool deal! The 30amp fuse is for the passenger seat harness. ****If your truck has those pins in the passenger harness already then you don't need the fuse or the passenger harness from harnessdr. This video shows you. I recommend watching the whole thing but around the 13 minute mark he installs that fuse and wire.

@Kyle W hey Kyle! Good news is the driver seat works! And first and foremost thank you very much for your help! My passenger seat on the other hand still does not, i checked my harness and two connectors that you pinpointed are there and one is missing.

@Kyle W my other concern is this is what it says on the harnessdr website, my truck is a 2022.5 i assume the refresh means the bigger screens and the new front end :

 

Fits:

2019 – 2022: 1500 Silverado/Sierra Trucks

2020 – 2023: 2500HD, 3500HD Silverado/Sierra Trucks

Does Not Fit:

2019 LD (carry over 2018 K2XX): Silverado/Sierra Trucks

2022.5 “Refresh” – 2023+: 1500 Silverado/Sierra Trucks

2024+: 2500/3500 Silverado/Sierra Trucks

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.
