The console lid issue

sablowme · January 5, 2007

every one that has the base style console pictured in this post has probley noticed that the lids some times break alot of these have this problem. So i have put together some of the part numbers excuding avalanch and some tahoes and yukons. Since ive ran into this countless times here in the parts dept. ive also notice that gm partech has been saying that there is a design change so wanted to give you guys a head start on getting these things.

for pewter (x88) ;chevy use 88941272

that works for : (03,53,43) cab styles,....reg,ex,crew

for neutral (x88) use 88941274

same as above applies

for pewter (z88) 88941268

03,53,43 and as well as some yukons

for neutral (z88) 88941270

03,53,43 and some yukons

all of these consoles are compleate units they have to be purchased by the whole not service in detail.

but gm says the mounting holes are missing threads so they want self tappers [12474220]

any way just wanted to let you all know these numbers cus your dealer might have a hell of a time finding them.............like i did...lol

I've replaced my whole console once and I need to do it again. do I need to replace the whole thing? according to the bullitain I can replace just the lid? Can I order just the lid?

Last time it cost me $200. I hope I can find another way. I have grey cloth interior.
