Ah, the good ol' cup holder delete. Thanks for the video and the console bracket part #, about to do this swap myself. I ended up buying a used high country console (brown) for next to nothing which I had to paint black, as well as Phil Gamboa's wiring harness. If you haven't already, check out his DIY wiring kits their fantastic if you do end up wanting to restore those left two outlets.

Looks good. Hope it continues to work well. Some things are simpler shown then explained.

I’m working on my truck doing modification upgrades and this is one on my list.

My truck already came with the full center console but it is very interesting to see people swap out the bench seat. Great video.

Dude that looks great!!

I think you did hella good with this. Discontinued now and everyone online wants 500-700$ more than what you paid so score for you! Good install.

Love the video. Planning on doing this to my gmc.

I love my bench seat.

Yes please, we want a video going through all the conveniences in the control panel

In my 15, I have that giant console. I love it. I keep my cup holders forward. Better reach for my hands. Love it. Bought the truck used, LT, and it had the console upgrade from the factory. Love it.

I hate I can’t do the center console, but I am happy my 4 wheel drive selector is on the floor and not a stupid knob

Luckily my Sierra came with this console. Love it... everything comes apart for cleaning.

I appreciate the video! Also thank you for the parts list. Lastly, don’t become an emergency room dad. Put some dam boots on! 😉Thanks for the info!

What a bummer that console is discontinued, great video. Now I’m on the hunt to find a console

Love my bench seat due to the locking storage 🔫 👍🏼

great information

I kinda wanted to see how it looked without a center console in the middle 🤔 haha. I've been thinking of doing this or a custom center console, since the seat is uncomfortable and dont really like it anyways. Great video! Thanks

hey man! new subscriber here. i just got a 15 silverado and i didnt even realize that the issue was the seat! lol anyway. crazy i can tell where you are based on background in your little drive. i know this becuase its where i live also. im not a weirdo...well mostly

New subscriber here. I have a 2021 GMC Sierra crew cab with the center console. I am wanting to take it apart and explore what space is available for radio antenna wire from the back and mounting options for my mobile radio. I might not use the deep part but it could be a place to store things so it doesn’t stand out and catch the bad guys eye. Haha. Thanks for the video. I have all the pry tools I need. Just need an idea of which way to pull. Your video gives me ideas. I realize yours is an older truck but I am after generic examples. My dream is to mount my radio deep in the console with a false top or cover to hide it from view when it is parked. Thanks again for your video.

I just had to run check my truck. I did not get lucky with the bonus storage in the jump seat cushion 😅

Great upgrade. I have crews in my trucks everyday for landscaping. Huge thing with trucks is LACK of cup holders & storage. Trucks are super expensive investments, so its very annoying when you get a truck with 2-3 cup holders for 3-5 guys....No one ever fits in front middle seat.... So switching to console installs. And, love the movable cup holder on older model. Same goes for doors almost never have much usability -- if there are cup holders -- they are small as heck -- And, the pockets never really are wide enough or have caps to protect from getting dirt & other crap falling in. Just becomes a thing to clean.....The under storage in back seat is another great upgrade. Versatility & utility should be key with these trucks. Nice job. Enjoy brother.

I too hate that middle seat and so happy to find your vid of a replacement. Price is definitely high and makes me wonder if a guy couldn't find one at a pull and pay used? Can you tell me what models came with this new center counsel? Thx again.

So you recommend changing out the drive shaft & the jump seat. If so what drive you recommend & do you have a link for it? Also, what’s an estimate cost to swap both the drive shaft & jump seat for the full console???

First time watching your videos. This is awesome! I always wondered how I could get rid of my 6th seat

Thats wild. I wish I had a jump seat for my wife on long road trips ;)

I assume you also removed the middle seat belts, did you have to buy new bolts for the mounts on driver and passenger belt? And does console reduce side leg room?

Kinda want to do this to mine since i already have leather and stuff would fully finish it off

I like this

Nice video and thanks. Quick question how did you take apart the console to get to the wiring harness. I am trying to replace my USB hub but the cable is too short for one of the wires to connect the new hub.

I am looking to do something similar to this in my 14 Silverado 1500 with 4 wheel drive. I have the four wheel drive shifter on the floor. I don't know if there is something available for me in this configuration with that shifter. My truck now has about 160,000 mi on it. I did replace all control arms and I did change out the u-joints in my driveline by myself, I did not have any issues, I wanted to get ahead of any issues.

Hi Dan, this this mod lowered the armrest height ? the jump seat is a little too high for me. Thanks!

When you ordered the center console assembly, did it come complete? Or were there parts needed still? Thanks in advance

That's a lot of work just to lose a cupholder! JK. Appreciate the video, although I like the first one you had better, it's good to know my options.

I never knew I had storage under my console seat....wtf??

where it was mounted and how you move the camera inside the cabin when driving?

Where can I pick up one of these consoles for my 2014 gmc

I noticed at 8:13 that you had your cable for you phone hiden how did you get it behind all the plastics?

Does it still have a lockbox under seat?

Do all the plugs work? I am thinking about doing this to my truck.

Ok so how is the camera auto turning when your driving. What kind of camera is it

Is there a specific driveshaft replacement part that can be ordered? Or is it just anything other than a GM driveshaft? I replaced transmission, torque converter, and differential fluid. 2015 has 90k miles.

Great job. I have a 2019 Silverado with the old console. I hate it. Would love one like you installed. My question is, how is the armrest? Is it big enough to be comfortable? It looks kind of short ( like it back too far for your arm).

Did you just swap wire harness?

I wonder what the vibration thing is all about? my 2015 is smooth as can be, I have some gripes about the truck but one of the things I am very impressed with is how smooth and comfortable of a ride it has I dont think I have ever had a vehicle so quiet and smooth as this! I added an exhaust to give it some sound, not anything crazy just enough that you know the dang thing is actually running and so it sounds a little more like what you expect a truck with a large engine should sound like rather than a sewing machine lol .I highly recommend the MBRP CAT back exhaust for this truck as well as the range brand "tuner" to delete the switching back and forth between 4 cylinder and 8 cylinder , I don't think that is a good thing to begin with and with an exhaust added you can hear it when it goes into 4 banger mode. not nessisaily a bad sound, sounds a little like the engine is doing some kind of engine braking or something , very minimal but you hear it, I could have lived with it and really bounced back and forth about ether it was worth deleting the feature but I think for the health of the engine its better to delete that ...there are a couple to choose from I bought the cheaper on that only deletes THAT feature ($200 or $250 cant recall) but wish I had bought the more expensive one that allows many more controls namely throttle response adjustments! I feel like this truck has a delayed throttle response and it is annoying. compared to my tundra it feels sluggish and laggy and it is because of how they have the throttle response set up! sorry for the long unasked for comments here, I just figure other people might be interested in these things since they were of interest to me.

7:15 what is the switch pod you’re referring to?

Did you gain any hip/width room in the seat?

Hi what is the part number for the panel that you picked up on Amazon????

Great MOD, where did you get the dewalt electric screw driver or which model was it?

What are the two orange cables that you unhooked from the cigarette lighter area during swap? I did the full console swap a couple of days ago, and i didnt have those, so my 12v plug doesnt work. I have a 2019 Silverado LD model.

Great video, can you please list me a website i can buy the Middle center from ...thanks

Will that fit a single cab Chevy Silverado 09?

i just bought one. did you order a special harness to connect everything and have everything work correctly ?

I have a 2018 Silverado but I see several different consoles. Some short like his and some long on one side and short on the other and some long on both sides. How do I know which one I need?

That cover you bought on ebay that covers the area in front of the cup holder. Can you provide a description or link so I can purchase one? Thanks

How hard was removing the center console wiring harness?

Kinda wish I didn't have a manual 4x4 shifter

Phew tight fit in the garage bud

Do you know how to replace the plastic cover to the power outlets. Eventually you will have to replace them because they are cheap. But I have to replace mine now

Call me old fashion I like my 2017 with out it. I prefer the open floor. But I still enjoyed the video

How did u get your green to be green mines red

Good stuff. Look up Phil Gamboa on KZfaq he makes the harness for all the plugs to work and the wireless charging

Would this fit a 2018 Silverado 1500?

Does the 120v outlet work ?

Do you have links for these parts?

do you have a part number on the bolts to mount console to console assembly bracket??????

where did you buy the little tray that sets into the console ...... to cover up the space below ...?

Any idea what kind of drive shaft was used when swapped?

Is the ashtray still usable? Or could it be left open? The sound processor for my audio equipment is there.

Hey, I got a 2004 Chevrolet avalanche. I’m trying to get is a consul to check the amplifier because I have no sound so I took out the old radio. I have a new radio a JVC and I just don’t know what I’m doing can you help me out samantha duval?

Would it be a problem if you just use the new wiring harness that comes with the new console or do you specifically need the harness out of the old console to connect the new console to the truck itself?

I’ve got the 2019 Chevy 1500 LD, which is just the 3rd gen 2018 body style. Think this would still be compatible? Middle jump seat is practically worthless

Where can i buy it please.

Where did you buy it from ?!

I have a denali i wish i have the bench seat 2018

Great video! Question, what camera did you use in the video of you driving??

Did you buy your console from the dealer ?

Will this procedure work on a WT trim level with the 4x4 gear box on the floor?

Great video! Just curious how complex was it to put together the center console (or does it come already assembled), and how long did it take? What year is your GMC?

I have the 2016 chevy 2500, can I replace the upper trim panel 23467123 so I can get removable cup holder? Its impossible to clean without removing the entire panel. Also the part number says with wood trim on the GM site.

pgamboa has some nice videos on this and harnesses. I have the rear piece w/out the audio controls. I replaced in on my new 2018 Sierra b/c from the factory it had a small scratch in the lower pocket where the two screws are. Let me know if you want it. I figure 20.00 plus shipping from CA.

Do you think I’d be able to do this in my single cab Sierra

This console has been discontinued by GM. Any suggestions and where to still get one for my 2014 GMC Sierra SLE

where are you from or what is it called to get it

So I’ve been really wanting to do this because my 2016 Silverado has the same shaking problem. It drives me crazy. But I have the WT with the 4wd shifter in the floor. Do you think there would be room for me to diy a hole in the drivers side big enough to go around the shifter?

Dude that camera angle change in the last min was intense. What camera setup do u have ?

Should have hit up phil Gamboa on KZfaq he sells the matching middle console for the interior of your truck and a harness so everything works stock for like 200 bucks more. Looks cool though.

@gearsandgadgets where did you buy the parts from? Very interested in doing this upgrade on my 2014! Console looks way better than the jump seat!

Should of put a 10 or 12 sub box under the console if your a music bass head like me lol

What kind of camera are you using to be able to post edit rotation like that?

Can I change my center console of a 2021 Chevrolet Silverado LTZ and put a bench seat? What would be the cost? Could I seek the existing center console? It has cup holders and a wireless phone charger.

How does it do with the chevy shake? Any extra noises?

I have a manual 4x4 shift by the throttle pedal, not electric switch on dash. I wonder if the big console would still fit?

Does this work for Silverado 2500 2019

I hate my console. I like what you got.

Anyone know if this is possible with a floor shift 4x4?

What brand axle shafts did you use?

does it fit the regular cab trucks?

Where did you buy the front center console bracket

Whats the part number for that counsel?

Question ? i have 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 , so this swap out will work on my truck
