Install what I would consider to be an upgrade to the stock Tahoe or Yukon over head console with one from a Crew Cab.

Goes through all the trouble to have a sunglass holder. Sunglasses dont fit. Sounds about right. Funniest thing I've seen all week.

I did this mod to both my Sierra and my Yukon. I ended up completely disassembling the old and new consoles and swapped the wiring and lights because the Yukon had a slightly different setup with a delayed light. Also added the home link door from a different console. There are a few different interchangeable doors from other trucks like the Chevy Astro and Blazer.

@PostalRedneck Жыл бұрын

Interesting. What year Yukon had the delayed lights? I have only really messed with the 2000-2002 so the newer 2003-2007's must have them im guessing. I went to a pick and pull lot and also tried some doors from the older GMT400's and they work as well.

I go to pick an pull lots all the time and some how never seen these overhead consoles. Once I did I knew I needed one haha. It was funny that the glasses didnt fit. I never did test to see if they fit and it was funny they didnt. Its an easy mod and one im going to do on my Yukon as well.

Looks exactly like a GMT400 consoles. To make the glasses fit I cut my console backing to give me that extra 1/2 inch.

@PostalRedneck Жыл бұрын

Yeah I installed a console in my 97 Tahoe when I first bough it. For some reason I never knew the GMT800's had them as well. Thats not a bad idea about cutting out the backing not only to get a little more room but also the head liner will be better for the glasses to press up against than the plastic console.

@@PostalRedneck yep, fits my ESS glasses just fine and the headliner is a nice soft backing.

From what I understand the 1994-1999 overhead consoles will fit in the 2000-2006. Ill have to keep my eyes out for a 2 door to see what they look like. I know the S-10's had a long and short overhead console but the short ones were only in trucks that had sun roofs.

I have a 2004 and 1/2 Silverado 3500. I was thinking about doing this to the pickup crew cab, but was that weird outline? It makes me think I would have to take the headliner. The overhead console came from and put it make it fit the truck somehow I don't know. Thanks for sharing

@PostalRedneck Ай бұрын

It would be a fair amount of work changing out the whole headliner as they have the wiring for the interior and heat controls built into them. You would have to find a truck with the same options as well as same color interior. Not only that but the connection that goes down the A pillar requires you to remove a lot of the dash. I think I would just deal with the weird outline from the old overhead if you think this is a upgrade you are considering.

Im not 100% sure but I think every GMT800 came with them other than the regular cab trucks. I think you would be wise to see if you cant pull your head liner down a little to see if its there. Otherwise if you do cut and its not there you will have to come up with a way to make it work of live with a hole in your head liner.

@1994Nic1994 9 ай бұрын

cut the top of the plastic out but not enough to mess up the structural integrity of the console door, then your glasses should clear the console and touch the headliner.

You can get the rear section of the overhead console , it has room for glasses , and having both front and rear sections is better than the one piece anyway , as having a sunroof and both sections of console is better , and since only rear pasengers can see the DVD screen , you can remove it and mod the rear section for extra storage 😁
