Making Lt1 A Lt2


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hey Folks,

 

I was wondering if it was possible to switch the center console pieces of the LT1 with those of the LT2, and if so, how much do the parts cost? I have the LT1 but would really like to have that center console. Is it possible to simply switch out the fold-down center seat of the LT1 with the console of the LT2? I appreciate any insight. Thanks.

I guess I'd better clarify that I am referring to the 2007 NNBS Chevy Silverado/2007 Sierra interiors (however I believe it would be SLE-1 to SLE-2 with the Sierra). Thanks.

I'm interested to get confirmation as well. I'm pretty sure it can be done, but I'd like to know for sure. I want to put the upgraded center console in mine (with the OEM subwoofer), but until I'm positive, I don't want to drop all the money on those parts.

Same goal here in a Sierra.

 

I saw a console in an LT extended cab Silverado at the dealer when I was buying. The console doesn't "turn up" at the front end, it just edges under the dash a little bit and stops. It's no problem doing the switch, just a few bolts but it may be difficult finding one used for a while. Especially mine which is ebony interior.

In the new trucks the LT1 has the 40/20/40 bench seat while the LT2 has buckets and center console. I don't think you can simply remove the center /20/ of the LT1 seat and replace it with a console.

Not sure if the Driver or passenger seat is attached to center. Since you can move both seats and the center does not move. I have the LT1 and noticed that the other day.

HD,

 

Yeah, they call it a 40/20/40 bench seat, but I think that's just an attempt to more effectively market the LT2. As far as I can tell (and I may be wrong), the seats are pretty much exactly the same (bucket with different cloth). I'm guessing that that center foldover seat could be taken out and the console bolted in. Anybody have any further insight? It should be possible to order these parts through a dealer, correct? -- Although I'm sure it might be spendy. Thanks.

Here is the parts list I was given from GMPartsDirect.com when pricing this upgrade for myself. This is for the ebony colored interior. I would suggest giving your VIN to them and verifying this information before ordering should you choose to. I think it totaled up to over $900 with shipping, etc. which was more than I was willing to spend for a change that really didn't do a lot for me. You'll want to put these items in the search field on GMPartsDirect.com to get the prices. This is intended for the "Truck" style interior and not for the more refined and wood grain clad interiors. They are the same overall but there are some small differences including the front most panel that goes under the dash and the center, lower most tray.

+1, sort of. When I had gmpartsdirect quote me the price to "upgrade" to a "loaded center console" (i.e. a center console with the Bose subwoofer in it) they quoted me the following list. BTW and FWIW, I have a regular cab.

 

15186666 front floor console radio speaker.15134828 front floor storage tray. 15217112 front floor console armrest.15134825 front floor console compartment bezel. Currently this is on backorder from GM. There is not an estimated time when GM will have stock available.15186660 radio speaker amplifier.15855168 front floor console accessory trim bezel.

 

They could/would not guarantee that it would be a direct swap, hence why I'm trying to find out as well. The above listed items totaled about $537.

Jeez! This seems like a step backward to me. When I went to trade in my '01 Sierra SLT with leather bench seat, I was extremely disappointed to discover that the only way I could get a bench seat was to get an SLE! So, I had to forgo the SLT goodies since I will not tolerate a center console digging into my knee.

I purchased a center console out of a wrecked 07 tahoe,and installed it in my 07gmc sierra ex cab. Looks good and the interior looks richer. The install took about 1 hour,the only glitch was getting the old power port wire harness out of the old center jump seat.

    • Thanks @newdude, guess I'll keep looking.  Test driving so many trucks that have obvious things broken, I'm thinking "if they couldn't even be bothered to fix the power seat," what else is broken".   Just drove a 2021 where the power seat motor was grinding/binding and wouldn't do anything but make a terrible sound.   An owner that puts dents on the bumper, doesn't fix a seat motor, and had spotty service intervals (along with missing major services) doesn't give me the best of confidence.   Amazed at the number of people that will finance a $60k+ truck, run it into the ground, then trade with a loan balance (every single one had "loan/lien reported" on the CARFAX at the last year of registration).
    • Not true! I have been runing them since 2006 F250! suspension component that works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring points directly to the RoadActive Suspension (RAS) kit. Works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring.
    • Here's a starter kit:    CC Jensen, a Danish oil testing Concern gives us the following guidelines:   ISO 14/12/10 Very Clean Oil ISO 16/14/11 Clean Oil ISO 17/15/12 Lightly Contaminated ISO 19/17/14 New Oil ISO 22/20/17 Very Contaminated and not suitable for any service.   In addition CC Jensen gives a table showing how engine life is increased by cleaning up the oil. For example cleaning the oil from 19/17/14 to 13/11/8 will extend motor life by a factor of 6X.   But even cleaning it two “Life Extension Classes” will double motor life. So perhaps giving those classes would be useful:   21/19/16 20/18/15 19/17/14 18/16/13 17/15/12 16/14/11 15/13/10 14/12/9 13/11/8   *************************************   https://testoil.com/program-management/setting-iso-cleanliness-targets/   Third paragraph from the bottom will give a starting point.    Your next question should be, okay 10um at what Beta ratio and the answer is in the graph Beta 75.   Then the next question is what is your chosen filters profile? (Purolator PL series below) The red dot is Beta 75. This was the information I obtained from MANN a few years ago. So the best filters, Purolator One, AMSOIL EA, FRAM Ultra, Royal Purple, Bosch Premium should get a doubling engine life over filters like Purolator L, any service filter from any quick lube, WIX, NAPA, STP, Mobil 1, Purolator BOSS.    And as noted by CC Jensen a 2-5 micron @ Beta 200 bypass system has the capability of a six fold improvement. AMSOIL has such a system as does Donaldson.       Now having said all that testing is the touchstone. Test the oil NEW and test it with your chosen filter. Then test over milage. Do the work, get the result. But understand this in NOT absolute BECAUSE this is one factor in isolation.   Example:    A valve spring supplier can state that with cam X and a valve train of Y grams the valves will not float to 7K rpm. is that true if the builder choose a system 20 grams over limit? Common sense must be used and limits understood. 
    • This doesn't look like a GM truck. Not needed on a HD truck
    • It varies a ton around me. Some places are still at $5.00 or higher and others are way down into the $4's.   Offroad diesel was $4.02 at the one station I passed today.
