center console swap in 3rd gen cummins

[@Shorts5683]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who wanted to swap just the upper, this video is incredibly helpful, really streamlines the entire process!

[@Cargill450]

I glad I could help

[@bogieman101]

Golden! Had my 2005 since new, only 45K miles. Gonna keep it to the grave, but want to give it a small facelift. This was the first "easy" upgrade I was gonna do. Finally gulped, paid the money, and got a new one off Ebay, and went out to do the 5 minute change out just like you. Two days later I found your video. Only thing I'm a little disappointed about is there seems to be a bunch of different variations on the console. Mine is the gray vinyl but with cheap looking fabric down the sides, yours looks like a nicer version. With what I paid for mine, I would have thought it was the premo line. Anyway, I appreciated the heck out of the video, and just based on it, I subbed to the channel.

[@Cargill450]

Thank you for the sub!! I got lucky on this one, it's not a high level console but I do like how well it matches my interior and I agree there is no way I'm setting rid of this truck either.

[@nghtrdr84]

Great detail - thank you! Now I want to update my center console!

[@Cargill450]

It was one of the best things I could have done.

[@rb70383]

Manual here and I hit the console with spirited shifting. Already had mine done. I undid the hinges however. Also to keep my under seat storage. Don’t forget to flip the rear seat latches to enable fold down rear seats.

[@Cargill450]

I still need to do my rear seat, thank you for the reminder.

[@cadilakisrodcustom]

Damnit now I need to find a 4th gen console.. great explanatory video bro.

[@Cargill450]

Thank you man!! You can find them pretty affordable and honestly you will never look back

[@cadilakisrodcustom]

@Cargill450 it's wild to me that so many people have no idea if their truck has under seat storage 🤣 im definitely gonna start lookin for one now.

[@Cargill450]

Haha you would never know, they did a really good job hiding it

[@cadilakisrodcustom]

@@Cargill450 I had to make sure mine had it before I bought the truck lol

[@justinellis5265]

Literally just paused the video went out to my truck and sure as shit I have a secret compartment under the seat with a scan tool in there a previous owner forgot about. Unreal

[@Cargill450]

Haha score!!!

[@DeadmanApparel]

lol that's awesome!!

[@joehenry9070]

Thanks for sharing this information. Been thinking of doing this to my 04.

[@Cargill450]

I would 100% recommend it, I didn't think I would like it as much as I do

[@mikestrucks]

Awesome Brandon! This is pretty cool 👍🏻

[@Cargill450]

Thank you Mike, not a bad little project

[@DeadmanApparel]

awesome idea and great video

[@dtaposse8858]

I got the bottom storage bin,mines a 2015,handy

[@Cargill450]

I couldn't go without that lower storage.

[@dtaposse8858]

Dang bro that's a beautiful truck

[@Cargill450]

Thank you! I really appreciate it. The thing has been a project for a while now and i couldn't be happier about where its at right now.

[@stevenvonsancho]

Very useful i think ill put in a black one and get high end black seat covers to match... update: got one off ebay bolted right in like yours did👍

[@jimkillen1065]

I really appreciate the video..i have a old second generation with a g56 and the bm short shifter..i going to try to find a 4 gen center console..Because of the cup holders ..looks good thanks

[@jamescasello8100]

Nice job, but you did not hook up the power outlet that you disconnected from the original arm rest. Otherwise, awesome video

[@Cargill450]

I did not hook one up because I still need to get one to put back into the new console, I keep forgetting about it to be honest.

[@jamesfisher944]

This is amazing great job

[@mikeadams2339]

Thankz man! Exactly what i need to do to mine.

[@myrthmaker]

Great video!! Thanks

[@Cargill450]

Thank you!

[@alyssacargill5603]

You've had this truck how many years, and I didn't even know it had storage under there! 😄

[@Cargill450]

Thats where you keep the secret stuff 😉

[@insomniahobbies]

I ran out to my truck at 3am to see if I had that hidden storage compartment. I had no idea.

[@Cargill450]

Its a cool feature and they hid it really well

[@rcadventures5998]

Video helped me out. could you tell me the year of the new center console you put in?

[@Cargill450]

Anything 4th gen would work, 09 to that 19 mark. I would imagine the 5th gen console would work but I can’t tell you for sure.

[@rcadventures5998]

@@Cargill450 ok thanks 🤙🏻

[@bernhard8540]

I wish someone would make a large touchscreen retrofit for the 3rd gens, i really love the 12" touchscreen in my 5th gen😊💙 I like the updated 4th gen console but I really like the "hidden" compartment under the middle seat i think it was a feature in the SLT trucks but i could be wrong. Both my 3rd gens are SLT so they have power outlets in the center consoles as well as the underseat storage under the fron middle seat I am thinking about a way to make the 4th gen top half of the console fit the 3rd gen bottom half😊

[@_pwea_]

Might be a dumb question but could you not just take out the top 2 bolts on each console to swap it over?

[@Cargill450]

I tried that originally but that top part is different, I can’t remember exactly but I started out taking those 2 bolts out and there was more to it. Sorry I don’t remember what it was exactly but I know there was something more to it.

[@k300zx]

Nice! Hey whats the red 3 hole thing on the back inner door. Thanks for your videos!

[@Cargill450]

It’s a jam handle, it’s so you can close the door without touching the outside

[@G815-f6f]

Maybe I missed it, but, where did you order it from? Great video

[@Cargill450]

This one a friend actually found for me but every now and then they will pop up on marketplace, at least that’s where I look for them.

[@andrewnemecek4898]

Did you cut the unneccassary brackets off the new one where the third bolt is

[@Cargill450]

No sorry I should have shown that, there are 2 10mm nuts that hold those little brackets on so they come off of the new console really easy

[@smokey4201489]

What brand rock sliders are you using

[@Cargill450]

They are Apex LED brand rock lights, they are bright for an 8 piece set but about a year ago my controller went out so I tried to get a hold of them to get a replacement and they ghosted me pretty hard so I’m going to change them out but I just don’t know with what yet.

[@JaseH-ie5rv]

Where did you find that grille at?

[@playinhookie]

So correct me if I'm wrong here but don't you now have 6 useless cup holders. How do you shift if you got a drink in any of the new top cup holders? Looks like they will all be in the way of your arm depending on the gear. Surprised nobody mentioned it.

[@Cargill450]

In all honesty, on the console the far right is good. Middle and left not so much and the down low cup holders you already know about them.

[@robertdavis9377]

Can I swap 02 crew cab front seats to a regular cab 02 dodge truck??

[@Cargill450]

I don’t see why not, the mounts for the seats should be the same.

[@dillonmonsen6338]

What head unit and bezel did you use

[@Carlos-ip2ir]

So what years can i find that console

[@Cargill450]

4th gen 09 to 18 but I personally can’t confirm 5th gen trucks even though they should be the same

[@mallcrawleroffroad-brandon9298]

Nice, I want to do this to mine. I always slam dunk coffee in the other cup holders. 😂 Some how I always forget I have a drink down there. Any lead on a 4th gen console, and how much? The wcfab 2nd gen swap and fuel wiped out my savings. I just ordered parts for a bi xenon morimoto 5.0 d2s retrofit, and I want to do this next check. Back to paycheck to paycheck 😅 Going to color match white housings.

[@Cargill450]

Keep you eye on market place they usually pop up pretty cheap, I will let you know if I find one around here I will try to let you know about it or pick it up

[@mallcrawleroffroad-brandon9298]

@@Cargill450 appreciate that man 👊 I have a Laramie with grey leather

[@slammedjdm9859]

HOW DID YOU INSTALL THE SPIKES ON THE FRONT GRILLE AND WHERE DID YOU FIND THEM.I WANT SOME RED ONES FOR MY RAM

[@Cargill450]

They are pretty easy, they have a nice machine screw in the back of them and you just put them together in a hole. It's been so long sense I have looked for them but I would think Amazon should have something, I got them from Over Kill Fab but they came chrome and I just had to sand them real good and paint them.

[@slammedjdm9859]

Thank you sir definitely getting some

[@slammedjdm9859]

Is it called rivet spikes or what would it be under

[@marrag1]

I found that hidden storage compartment by accident and put a subwoofer in it lol

[@Cargill450]

I have throw that idea around too, what did you use

[@Theloststreamer]

Does anyone sit there? Is it comfortable?

[@Cargill450]

I have never had anybody sit in the center but as far as comfort goes it shouldn’t be much different if any from the factory center console.

[@2turntV]

I’ll buy your old parts if you still got them !!!

[@Cargill450]

I don’t have them anymore, I got rid of them a while ago

[@jlrockafella]

Trucks are meant to get dirty and beat up, I don't know why people think they are luxury vehicles 😂

[@berserkerusmc7613]

You should have bought an automatic

[@shaun9156]

Those consoles are expensive asf

[@Cargill450]

Every once in a while you can find one pretty cheap, but most of the time you’re right they are priced a little high.
