How to install Center Jump Seat and swap center Console on Silverado

How to install Center Jump Seat and swap center Console on Silverado. This should be the same for a GMC Sierra, Suburban Tahoe Denali Escalade Yukon Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe!

Great, straightforward video. I personally love the center console, but I love my people too, and it's nice having that extra seat in a pinch. Thinking of doing this to a Suburban to make it a 9-seater.

[@TruckMaster]

Thanks

[@gavinsuckla5300]

Did you do it?

[@gavinsuckla5300]

Did you do it?

I've got one but I need the extra seat cause in current configuration mines only a 4 seater

[@rodwanolds1871]

Additional note for those with bose. The module that is part of the center console is required to make the radio work. You'll need that plus the wiring harness.

[@caysoncloar2676]

Which module from the consul are you talking about?

[@rodwanolds1871]

@@caysoncloar2676 there is a metal module buried in the bottom of it that looks like a heat sink.

okay sweet. is there a place to put it after wiring it? @@rodwanolds1871

I just swapped my center consul out for a jump seat today and I was frantically trying to figure out why my radio wasn’t working. I could see what I did wrong

[@Mannyminajjj]

Even if you have aftermarket radio still won’t work ?

[@R4INMAN94]

(Serious question) How is this downgrading a Silverado though? I have a 05 Silverado with center console but think a jump seat adds more benefits. It's still a console & can turn into a 3rd seat. So how is it a downgrade?

[@TruckMaster]

+Andy Yang I think you make a valid point

Caleb Melton Meto, I wish all cars would have split bench seats and the shifter on the steering collum like a 2013 Impala LT Front bench option Or a 1996 Ford Taurus Front bench option.

[@Butcherbuilt]

The lids on the 99-02 jump seat consoles are very flimsy. If you lean on the lid while entering the truck it won't last long at all. I'm considering adding a 2015 jump seat. Better quality and 3 cup holders, lol.

[@thorstesla]

Freaking amazing. Wish car companies would stop putting in these monstrously large center consoles that remove all right knee and leg room. Nice work.

[@jonsaircond8520]

Nice video bud I completely understand on the 6 seat set up I recently bought a older Silverado and wouldn't buy one without the jump seat (everyone looked at me like wtf) but I got 4 kids and it's important to be able for everyone to ride

[@TruckMaster]

+Jons Air Cond thank you! At least someone understands lol

[@Riskspeed]

Can I keep my driver/passenger seats and only swap out the center console to put in a jump seat? Or do I need driver/passenger seats that are specifically for a jump seat?

[@carlosdominguez9911]

I'm wondering that too. did you do it?

[@Riskspeed]

you just need the jump seat. he says it at 0:10. good luck finding a decent one though 😂

Just put the same exact set in my 68 Ford truck. I'm not a fan of intermixing brands however you have to admit GM makes a comfortable seat. It wasn't the easiest mod but shoulder restraints, center console with storage compartment, power seat and cup holders hell yeah! it sure Beats my 50 year old bench seat.

[@paulzollinger6343]

Great vid, thanks! Thinking of doing same thing with my '06 1500 Xcab Z71. Does leaving that huge wire harness unplugged have any negative effect? Also, I'm not worried about exposed vent hole, as long as it doesn't push air out at the wrong time...

[@Cheater6913]

Good video, I was thinking of doing the same thing with my 05 GMC because I need more seating space. My question is did your stereo work after removing that center console with that speaker. My stereo didn't want to function because I didn't put that center wiring harness.

Thank you for this video. Now I don't have to find a 6 seater specifically for my family truck. I can do a Junk yard swap.

[@MrRahimhosein]

A great remove and install video. Some trucks dont have the rear radio controls so it wont be an issue. Losing the rear vents for air flow would be hard for me.

[@PastorJimmyParker]

That's my holdup as well.

[@CT-xz7pg]

I'm doing the opp of what you did cause I want the middle console, couldn't find it in dark grey nowhere, had to get light grey out of junkyard surburban and going to paint it. Thanks for the step by step, great video.

Why did you go to the jump seat? Have you been pleased with the results? I want an LBZ, but having a hard time finding one with the jump seat so I have room for the family.

[@TruckMaster]

+Tie Knee I have four kids plus the wife so I figured I can fit the family in the truck but honestly I love the jump seat better seems like there is a lot more room

[@jewllake]

It looks like he has an aftermarket stereo system. If you have the stock BOSE system, you would loose that as the stock amp and center sub are in the console.

I am having a hard time finding the lower part of the dash with the glove box to cover up the hole. Where did you get yours?

[@thejordans7028]

agreed... I have looked for that part for a while now, all l keep finding is the dash parts for mating to the center console, not going this direction. Called it just about every name I can think of...

[@that5.0tho74]

$125 !? Damn that’s more than a good deal !!!!👌💯

[@benbuttars5594]

What did you end up doing with that open vent? I was wondering if there was a way to even swap out a part so that it was closed off back further.

[@alexbuss8710]

What about the amp that powers the speakers for the Bose system Ik when I do mine I’m pulling the amp and harness out of the center counsel to re locate the amp and sub

[@yourfavoritelawnguy2722]

If you had Factory Bose in the truck you would of course have to put the BOSE amp and SubWoofer else where, the amp could be hidden under the dash but the sub would be lost, you can infact bypass the stock AMP, you would need to take wires from the radio, run 8 wires, 1 for + 1 for - of each of your door speakers, like FRONT LEFT - , REAR RIGHT +, then on the wiring harness in the center console, where the amp is, take the wires leading into the amp on the bigger of the 2 connectors, there are certain colored wires you must cut and then connect to your wires from the radio, look up the Diagram from for vehicle or PM me your vehicle and ill send you a list of the wires to cut, but you need to connect the end of the wires that is running AWAY from the amp, not into the amp in order to bypass the amp, I did the amp bypass on my 04.5 LLY duramax because my bose amp gave out of me. My aftermarket Headunit works perfect, i can adjust the EQ of each door speaker properly, i wired the stock Bose Subwoofer also so it works properly, as well as added in a aftermarket amp for my 2 10' subs in the rear that i added behind the rear seats.

[@caraclick2022]

We got rid of the center console in my pickup, and replaced it with a jump seat. But now we are at a loss as to what to do with the amp and sub just sitting on the center hump. We replaced the head unit with an aftermarket. Now the radio sounds like crap...pretty much like its underwater. I'm thinking my amp is no longer working. But wanting to get rid of it and put in something different. Where do I go from here? Any help would be appreciated!

[@brucethao8359]

What year did you take out all the seats out of.....i have a 04 silverado 2500hd and want to do this mod also

[@BPakesi]

Great video 👍👍.. If u go from electric seats to manual, how do u plug the wire harness under the seat to make the airbags work?

[@Operator-fq2fn]

They plug right in for seat controls but the older Manuel seats dont have air bags

[@isaiahgault1615]

I did this swap in my 2005 Chevy 2500HD with LT trim package. I had to remove the wiring harness and Bose amplifier from the center console in order to get sound from my stereo. I mounted the amp under the dash and was able to fit the factory sub next to the air vent below the dash on the trans tunnel.

[@xverzyicx8070]

I have the same truck as you. So you had to remove the amp and the sub from the console and connect it all back in order to have any sound?

Solution: factory amp fits perfectly (snug) up and behind gas pedal with it being close enough to plug into harness.

I have a 2002 silverado rcsb and its seats have manual everything. If I got electric seats, would I not be able to move the seats or would I have to run some wires? This is the only thing holding me back from getting new seats.

[@TruckMaster]

If you have no wiring harness on the floor for seats you can't use electric seats in your truck I'm sorry. But do some research find out if you can pull the electronic from another truck and install them to yours for electric hook ups, if it's possible then your good
