I got a pm from him a few months ago but can't afford to do it right now. He said he doesn't check his messages often. He said the price is still 2700 or everything you need. Said it atkes 2-3 hours and he can still get the stuff. He did say that leather material needs to be specified, here is what he said from the PM...

"I don't have any pictures handy, but there are basically three different cooled seats. There are the ones that match our trucks - out of Suburban/Yukon, the ones out of a Denali (which has a different leather material but functionally the same) and the Cadillac Seats (same function, different leather colors and material)."

It is a stand alone system, built into the seats. The peltier effect is used, with a couple of blower motors. The electronics that operate the system come attached to the bottom of the seats as well.

So it took me over a month to make it happen, but I now have a 2008 Sierra 2500HD with heated and cooled seats!! Seats were sourced from a 2009 Tahoe. Had to install the 2009 heat/cool seat switches i

I was in the same predicament, was considering trading in my truck to get the heated/cooled seats, but unfortunately GM does not put them into any truck that can also have the Duramax engine. (As far

any one found a solution on how to do this mod going from what was said you need the floor harness and door switch and flashing the truck email rich but he said he tore down a brand new truck and would not give the info on how to do the mod unless you bought the seats from him i got mine for 800 with 15k miles on the salvage truck so really would not make sense to buy another set for 3 times more money

When I get home I will post up the wireing diagrams. Many of these options can't be added to your build so you have to flash your bcm with a vin that came with that option to trick it or actually the gm online programing tool to think it is a truck with that build. Good luck finding a dealer that will do this. Over the year gm has been cracking down on this and will not provide support if problems arise.

I have a 2007 Sierra non-classic SLT with heated, memory leather seats and DL3 option

 

Anyone has a link to the write up, I have the heated/cooled leather seats from a 2009 Sierra Denali as well as the switches and controls for the door panels, seats are on my truck, but the heated/cooled doesn't come on, and the "service air bag" its on my dash.

 

I am trying to figure out if its easier to buy the door harness off the Denali donor that the seats came from. Anyone please help

Hoping one of the MODS sees this… wonder if when they upgraded the forum a couple years back some of those "tech wiki" links were lost…but surely the information is still somewhere on the server…

 

Also would like to see the writeup/how-to!! :)

i have an AN3 option (12 way movement, heat and memory) on my 2011 SLT and i just installed KB6 seats with the correct door switches (a/c, heat and memory) in door panels.. the 12 way movement works and the heated seats buttons light up but no heat and no ac light or working fan, there is also no clicking under the seat when the bottons are pressed. what do i need to do to get these seats to work? i have studdied the wire diagram to see what would need to be switched but id rather find out for sure before i start ripping apart a 30 pin

People know how to do this conversion but they want to be compensated for the info. Best bet is to just learn how to wire up a BCM for these seats and hope a buddy with a tech2 can get GM to release the KB6 code

Guys,
Sorry I have been so absent from the forum.
I am working on a digital document with instructions/diagrams/etc and trying to get some permission from my friends at GM to release it here. I some assistance figuring this out and I don't want to upset anyone who skirted some rules to be of help.

I really want to do this conversion on my truck. I'll be in the position to do so at the end of October. Its freaking hot in Texas and there's only a few weeks out of the year that heated seats come in handy. At the time my truck was built, heated/cooled was not even an option. With cooled seats, I could go another 100k and be more comfortable doing so.

      PF63 Oil Filters Going Away?

      By Atlas · Posted

      I only have a few of the ACDelco blue remaining. One or two of the (old, old) ACDelco Professional boxes, and a couple of the newer style GM boxes with the simulcast in Chinese along with English. FWIW they've all been pretty good, regardless of where they are made, and in 20 years I've never had a problem with an e-core filter.   Now I have a couple of the "A" series in my home inventory. They come in a plain white box with the GM hologram sticker and model information. Have not installed one yet, want to use up my oldest inventory first.

      I suspect at some point in the near future, the hardware will be free and you pay a subscription to access the vehicle - alldata style.

      BAK MX4 EZ-Lift Install and Review

      By parthery · Posted

      I've been eyeing an upgrade to my tonneau cover for a bit now.  Intrigued by the BAK MX4 EZ-Lift with the torsion spring and went for the upgrade.  Thoughts and musings during unpacking, install and a few days of usage.   Once my order went into Realtruck, it took about 4 days to ship.  Unfortunately, FedEx Ground destroyed the box and contents and it was unusable upon receipt.  To Realtruck's credit, one email with pictures and an RMA was sent to me to send the first one back, and another unit was shipped out.  It arrived 3 days later, unscathed.   I opened the box and it looked like every other BAK MX4.   Biggest differences are the rails and retaining clamps, and of course the spring attached to the cover itself.     NOTE - if you are upgrading from a MX4 to the EZ-Lift, you will have to replace the rails.  The EZ-Lift rails have a notch cut in them to allow the new style retaining clamps to fit properly.  The new retaining clamps also have 2 knobs/carriage bolts and there are two tracks underneath the front panel. The strap clips are mildly different (more like the Undercover Flex clamps) in that the screws go in from the underside.  Personally I prefer these over the BAK clamps that use the nutserts that are a nuisance to install.  The remainder of the parts in the box (drain tubes, rail clamps, and bumper pads) are standard issue BAK.     I did not replace my front bed seal at the time because it seemed to be in decent shape.   BAK recommends shims on the GM trucks unless you place the clamps on the flanges about 1/3 of the way in from both the front and rear of the bed.  I shimmed the front and the middle, and initially placed the clamps equidistant.  This also turned out to be a mistake, because when I set the cover in place, the new style retaining clamps wouldn't clear the front clamp.   New style clamp inserted in the track:     And the issue which occurred because the front rail clamp was too far forward:     Once I removed the shim from the front of the bed, and slid the clamp back to the front flange, everything cleared fine.     The cover set on the rails without issue and I installed the strap clamps.  After I completed my adjustments, I pulled the pin to activate the torsion spring.  Mistake #3 on my part.  PULL THE PIN AS THE VERY VERY VERY LAST STEP!  The reason is, once you pull the pin, the torsion spring is activated.  If you have to loosen the front clamps and adjust the cover, the front panel will - by virtue of the spring, refuse to lay down.  The only way to get it to lay down so you can reinstall and tighten the clamps is to fully open the panel against the back of the cab, which will then allow the front panel of the cover to lay down and be tightened.  Not a big deal unless you haven't installed the foam pads yet (typically the last step) because minus the foam pads, you will need to place something between the frame of the cover and the back window so it doesn't get scratched.  The next time I install one I will install the foam pads before I pull the pin and activate the spring.   After using it for a few days:   The spring assist is great.  You literally can open it with one hand.  My shoulders aren't getting any younger and this was part of my motivation to swap out. The second panel latches and unlatches itself as you open and close the cover.  Neat in concept, however it took me a minute to get used to closing the cover and not hearing the "latching" sound that would tell me it was locked in place. The paddle handles are a huge upgrade and I wouldn't be surprised to see them become the standard across the Realtruck line.  They effectively eliminate the concern that a thief could coat hanger the cover open and get to the contents in the bed. I'm not sure why the very front panel on my cover has a different finish from the other 3 panels.  I have a request into Realtruck to find out if mine was not manufactured properly or if it was by design.   All in all I'm pleased.  Same level of protection, looks good, keeps stuff mostly dry (they all leak around the tailgate) and easy to install.
