I have the opportunity to buy 2 black (dark charcoal or dark grey) leather power buckets out of a new 07 Suburban. I have a NBS GMC truck. Does anybody know if they will bolt in? I'm tempted to buy them just to see. They sure would be cool in my new truck.

 

Any help out there? Anybody tried this yet?

 

Oh, and WINGNUT... stop going to WalMart.

Looked at using a Suburban take-out seat in my old truck (97 C1500). Big problem was the seat back didn't flip forward thus would not be able to access behind the seat. Just something to consider.

I'll send an email to my brother, he works at Lear, which makes the seats for the NBS trucks.

Here's what he said:

 

As long as they are the same year as the new vehicle you are looking at, then I would say yes. All front seats are the same but I put out a word of caution as Suburban could have a feature called Amerigon (cooler in the seat) to go with the heat function. We don't make this style of seat until the '09 MY. Your vehicle, if built in Oshawa, may not have the wiring to make this happen.

If you do this, let us know if it works. I'd be really interested to do this on mine too.

Thanks for all of the input. I am going to dive in and try it. I'll update this thread when I have an answer. Wiring is not an issue for me. We've built ground up race cars for years... a little power shouldn't be a biggie.

After a considerable amount of digging, I found that NBS trucks and Sub/Tahoes share a LOT of parts. GM is crafty though... Even some of the parts that would interchange have different part numbers. Some other items just have minor trim differnces but will work. Front door shells, and floor pans have almost exact shapes. Firewall, underhood stuff... a lot of it is identical. Somebody with a NBS CHevy should slap a NBS Tahoe frontend on for kicks. Shouldn't cost more than 49 million dollars.

Thanks for taking the risk for everyone else!

      Vehicle Payments

      This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.
