Working on this swap on my 05 W/T currently. Don't forget to swap the airbag module on the bottom of your seats from old to new to avoid the airbag light. Also, if you grab a console that doesn't go all the way to the dash you don't have to mess with the 4x4 shifter, although you give up a bit of storage.

First of all, great video man! It was relatively short and gets right to the point, without incorporating all the extra nonsense that a lot of other videos do. So im doing this same swap right now in a 2005 GMC 2500hd SLE 4x4 that I just picked up. The truck only has 100k on it, so I decided to do a full resto. The only problem I'm having is how to get the heated mat in the seats to be functional without having the harness out of the donor truck. Any ideas? Again great video and nice pickup!

@TheKingCoopa

Жыл бұрын

Hey, im not the best with wiring. But when I picked my seats up, I tried to do some research on how to hook them up. There is so much junk inside those seats for the heated function, it was making my brain hurt lol. So I said screw it, and didn't worry about the heated function. (Since then I have already sold these seats and went to a set of corebeau FX1 pro seats with 6 point harnesses) From the research I've done the two best methods were to either use the full donor harness. Or to buy an aftermarket seat heater kit. Where you can put the heating pads under the leather, the module will go under the seat and requires a ground and power wire. Then you just need to wire up a switch the heated function. Sorry im not much help there, those heated seats were blowing my mind 😅 Thanks for the support though!!

Hey, I tried looking for a donor truck for a while, but all the single cabs in my area were always manual windows. So I gave up. And I didn't want to try and hack up an extended cab or crew cab harness. There are a few companies that make after market kits, but they arnt as nice as oem. Its definitely possible, people do power swaps all the time. As for the climate controls change, ive herd a few people do it, but its pretty rare and super difficult. I herd you have to change out the whole dash harness, along with the bcm to control it. Most people say its not possible, or worth the effort. Hope that helps, good luck!!

Your truck looks awesome now! I have a base model 2WD single cab 2005 silverado. This video shows just what I want to do. Are the seats restricted too much leaning back? Was it a bolt in conversion or did you have to drill some holes in the floor for the seats?

@TheKingCoopa

4 жыл бұрын

Thank you! Also I drive with the seat pretty reclined, so it works perfect for me. But being an single cab, you obviously cant recline it super far. And all the 03-06 silverado/gmc's have the same front row bolt pattern, so no drilling was required, it's a direct bolt in. The only thing you should look out for, is some of the 2006 seat connectors changed, and wont plug directly into your harness. So if you buy some donor seats, just double check that the plugs mate up and you will be set 🤘

So I understand the orange power and black ground one side goes into the plug that plugs into the seat but what did you do with the other side of the wire, what did you splice it into or ? Thanks love these videos and was such an inspiration in my own short bed short cab

@TheKingCoopa

4 жыл бұрын

Hey! Sorry about that, totally forgot to film that part. It just depends how fast or how clean of an install you want it to be. Traditionally the seat power harness goes along the driver side floor and plugs into little box, left of the brake. My box didnt have the pins for the power and ground since it's a base model. You could pull that box out, modify it so there are pins with power and ground. So it's just like factory. 2nd option, you could just use a fuse jumper like I did, its temporary, but I did that because i have to pull my interior back out to weld in a roll cage. The interior fuse box is on the driver side of the dash. 3rd option, you could find a acc fuse or a hot all the time fuse, and splice it into that wire in the back of the fuse box. 4th option, the acc wire to your ignition is right under the steering column, it runs to the interior fuse box, you could splice into that, so the seats would only work when the key is on. 5th option, just run the wire straight to the battery with an inline fuse. And for the ground wire, I showed in the video, there is a factory ground location under the passanger side seat. I ran both ground wires in my harness to that mounting point. So I know that's alot to read, but I hope that all makes sense and helps you out!

Hey, yes you can. It would basicly be the opposite process of this video. So you would have to locate a front row bench seat. I think they are referred to as a 40/20/40 seat. Some have the center seat folds down into an arm rest. They will have the seat belts Integrated into the seats. But you will remove your bucket seats and center console, and swap the new bench seat in. You will also need the long lower dash piece to cover up where the center console was

So in that connector you spliced I'm the orange power and ground but what about the other wires going into that connector? The smaller ones, are they just for show or?

Hey, for the seats to work you only need the power and ground hooked up. All 10 way motors will function. The grounds will go to the factory stud under the passanger seat. The power can go into the driver side fuse box, on the side of the dash. Sorry about not showing the power wire hookup. I either forgot to film it, or messed something up, but it wasn't included into the video. I wired the power wire into the 4x4 push button fuse (since mine is a floor shift version) this will apply power to the seats when the key is on. Or you could pick a different fuse if you want power on all the time. I'm saying it like this, because I won't beable to make an additional video for you. The seats have already been sold, removed from the truck, and harness has been stripped down. I swapped to Corebeau FX1 racing seats, with a 6 point harnesses tieing into my roll cage.

If you have a 2007 classic, I'd assume it would work as well. If you have a 2007 NNBS, then I would assume it definitely would not fit. As for the trim pieces, in the video I show you only need the glove box trim panel. I'd swap out your glove box on to the new trim panel, so the RPO code sticker still matches your truck.

How did you get the power seats to move in the junk yard?

@TheKingCoopa

3 жыл бұрын

Hey, so when I took the seats out, I had zero power to the seats. It was very difficult. You need two people, and some creativity with some wrenches. It is definitely doable though. The back bolts I basicly would turn the wrench 1/8th a turn, flip it over, and go another 1/8th a turn. Learning from my mistakes, I would definitely pickup a jumperbox, like a portable car starter. Then follow the seats floor harness to the driver side firewall, unplug it, and tap your jumperbox into the pins in the connector and you will have power to the seats. Orange is hot, black is ground. If you are not keeping the floor harness, just hack it off 2 feet after the seat and its easier to connect the jumper box to the cut wires. This method, you will have the seats out in about 20min, not 3 hours like it took me. If you don't have a jumper box, you can still get them out, just takes alot of patience. Thats alot of info, hope that makes sense and helps!

How did you figure out the wiring for the seats?

@TheKingCoopa

3 жыл бұрын

If you do alot of your own work on your vehicles, I'd definitely suggest getting the service manual for them. Not the little junk Haynes manual. Im talking about the legit industrial manuals that the dealers use. I bought mine on ebay for about 120 bucks. It is a set of 5 thick manuals, just for my 2004 silverado. They are 3 hole punched. (I also have a set for my corvette, about 300$) The pages are super thin, and there is about 1000-1500 pages per book. These books cover EVERYTHING! Troubleshooting, wireing diagrams, remove and replace, engine teardown, tranny teardown, and they also cover every single connector in the truck, and what wires go into what slots/pins in those connectors. So thats how I know alot about the truck, is its all in the book. You could also try googling it and trying to find a picture, but that can be kinda hard sometimes. Hope that helps. I know manuals are expensive and not always in peoples budgets, if you do the seat swap and can't find the connector diagram, just let me know, we can figure something out.

Hey, thank you! For now, I temporarily ran a jumper fuse to power the seats. If I remember correctly I used the 4x4 push button fuse on the interior fuse box. Since my truck is a manuel floor shifter, that fuse is basicly unless. But it was a 15amp fuse. I just picked a fuse that had power only when the key was on. You could pick on that was hot all the time, so you could move the seats even without the key. Up to you. But this winter the interior is all coming back out, so I can install the roll cage. Then ill hard wire the power wire, into the back of the fuse box

Hey, the tool needed for the seat bolts are called an E-socket, its like an inverted torx. (I just bought a set) but I didn't have them at the time, which is fine. You don't HAVE to have them. I don't remember which E socket fits them. But I used an 11mm for the back 2 bolts. And a 15mm for the front 2 bolts. You'll need a deep socket for the fronts. I'd definitely use 12 point sockets preferebly. Its gonna feel a little loose on the nut, but those SHOULD be the closest sizes if I remember correctly. Just got slow and press firmly so they don't strip it out. I had to use wrenches on the donor truck, because the seat wouldn't move without power. Anything is possible with enough patience and determination. Hope that helps you out!

I have the same ugly manual cloth seats in my truck bro. If I buy the same seats from my local junkyard how do I power the seats?

@TheKingCoopa

3 жыл бұрын

Haha its all good man, it takes time 🤘 I know a decent amount, but im still learning every day. And sorry about the power wire, I totally forgot to record that part. So you have a few options. 1. Run it straight to the battery (I wouldn't recommend, just gets in the way if you have to remove the battery and doesn't look nice). 2. Connect it to the orange ACC wire running down your steering column, then it will have power when the key is on. 3. Tie it into the interior fuse box under the dash. Either find a fuse that isn't used often, and plug into that. You can either hard wire it, or use a fuse jumper. I used the 4x4 fuse, since I have a manual floor shifter, and not the electronic shifter. 4. There is a connecting block under the dash, close to the floor, where the seats would factory plug in. But mine being a W/T model the trucj wiring harness didn't have pins for it, so it wouldn't have worked for me. But it might be worth looking at, to see if your connecting block has the pins, then is should be a plug and play, but I doubt it. Hope that helps! If it seems like a big challenge, just do the fuse jumper, it will get covered up, looks nice, and you can always remove it easily down the road. Thanks for the support man!

@@rXco_dXnero yea, you could just splice it right into the ACC wire. I would stick to the ACC, fuse box, or battery. I wouldn't just splice it into random nearby power wires. Just because gm designed the harness a certain way. Certain things in the truck might require different volts or amps. And its only designed to operate on that level of volts or amps. And if you splice into it, it will be pulling some of that power, and then it might not have enough volts/amps to power whatever circuit you spliced into. Thats why they designed alot of the circuits with relays and signal wires. So you flip a switch and the signal wire tells the relay to pull all the power from the battery to power that device. Hope all that makes sense haha. And down the road if your interested in a v8 motor swap, I know you can find the engine, tranny, Harness, bcm, ecu, for like 1,500$ at a local pick a part. I havnt done much research on it. But I know its just time consuming, having to tear your truck all the way down. And you would need alot of space. Getting it painted would be sick. Have you ever thought about wrapping it? Its cheaper, and you can always change it like every 2-4 years when ever you get bored of that color. Thanks for all the support man. I'll try to get some more videos out soon 🤘

Thank you, I appreciate it! The truck currently has the 4.8L V8 in it right now, which is still the LS platform. Yea it won't make as much power as a 5.3 or 6.0. Im not sure if you seen my other video where I heavily modified it, and built the tranny? The reason I decided to build it is because the 4.8 can handle the most abuse/boost/nitrous compared to the others, on a stock bottom end. They are great for junkyard builds, just slap a turbo on it and it just takes it. The truck was supposed to be just a winter daily, and obviously isn't anymore lol, I never really intended for it to be a big HP build. So that's why I planned to keep it NA, then add a 100 or 200shot of nitrous to it. But if I ever decide to turbo it, the 4.8 will still handle the boost great.
