i have a 2004 reg cab silverado, its a 5 speed and right now i have a 60/40 split bench, i was looking at the center consoles of the LT's and Tahoes, and the cup holders seem to be right where the shifter on my truck would come out of the console, i was wondering could i put that console in my truck and would the cup holders pop out or would i have to cut some plastic, i was planning on puttin a small leather shift boot right in that square area. I just want to try and hide some of that huge shifter. if anyone knows of this being done already or of any measurements it would be appreciated.

How do you like driving that manual? I want one, but no one has a 5spd around to drive. Its all automatics around here and I want a manual! Thanks

I've got a stick too, and I've been thinking about doing the center cosole out of an LT. I don't think there is enough space in the cup holder spot to do it though. I'm going to have to test fit the one out of my dads LT before I buy my own. If you're looking fo one check e-bay, theres always a few for sale. Also I really want to do a denali center console because of the higher armrest and leather covering.

 

hogie, the 5-speed is the way to go. My 4.8 stick has more acceleration then the same truck with a 5.3 auto.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
