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.

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Indeed a proper drain tap or drain valve with adapter that has a hose on it that opens up the valve as the adapter goes on is a slick setup and have that for certain highway tractors etc and other equipment that came from the factory with a tap but this L8T is pretty darned good other than me doing it on the floor and easy to touch hot exhaust and am not as agile as I used to be !. If I really want to pull a hot filter on an engine I will use an insulated set of thick neoprene gauntlet gloves but I am not in the hurry I used to need to be so things are done more relaxed and in theory somewhat safer ... I think LOL.    And as I mentioned the unique shape of the Amsoil 1 quart containers, while they might not work as well as an offset pour spout container for some awkward engine location applications, they are working a lot better with my Lisle funnel kit because of how they prop up on all four corners when upside down resting on the rim of the funnel where the typical quart container would never stay put without holding onto it.

      Clunk when coming to a stop... driveshaft/slip yoke? Mechanic couldn't recreate it

      By mrbflat · Posted

      Well, I just hit 100K a few weeks back, and I can honestly say I have not had any major issues with my '21 5.3 Crew cab.  I have done most routine maintenance, oil changes, air filter, tire rotations, and a transmission drain and filter change (not even a full flush).  A couple of months ago, I started experiencing the dreaded CLUNK when coming to a stop, sometimes hard enough to literally push the truck forward! After researching here and in other forums/youtube videos, etc, I was thinking it's the slip yoke. I finally had a chance to take it to my local mechanic today, and he was not able to recreate the issue.  Amazing, since it does it nearly every time I drive.  He also said he can't simply grease my slip yoke/driveshaft splines, because I have a 1 piece driveshaft.  I am not sure what else I can do.  Has anyone else had this issue or have any idea what else it could be?

      This is where the Fumoto drain valve comes in handy.  No mess and able to change oil hot, like right off the interstate hot.  Flows nice and you can direct it into a container. As for the oil filter, I use an old dixie cup or plastic one from McDonalds. It contains the oil as you pull the filter down and not all over your hand.

      Which 2027 engine will you choose?

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Well, if it did change from lifters to rocker arms, at least it would be easier to fix as they fail.

      HighMileage oils or stay with Dexos 1 ?

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Doesn't hurt to try.  It's my understanding that you have to run it at least 4 or 5 oil changes for things to get clean.  Think about it, your engine didn't get dirty in just an oil change so over time it will slowly clean. It's the safest way to do it and not have seal issues.      I remember  a product that came out a long time ago, AutoRX, it was an additive you put in the oil and then drove for 3k miles. Some saw improvements and some didn't. It was suggested to use a non synthetic with it at the time. Same observation, use a couple oil changes and give it time to work. It also stated it worked best if you could drive on trips to keep the oil hot.  I'm sure if you ask AI it could tell you all about it.
