Does anyone know if the a/c ducts come out of the radio bezel? I think I found one for a good price but it has the vent and cubbyhole and I haven't had it apart yet to see if I can just reuse me vent w/ the 4wd knob.


Everything from the center trim piece comes out including the vents....

Just to be sure you are talking where the radio is correct? If so yes. you are good to go. you just need to transfer everything over.

I need the little cubby on the left gone for my 4wd knob and probably the outlet.

I have a 12 now, the 13 got on my profile traded in a little while back. I suppose I should update.

Everything should come out. A guy on another forum painted his (color matched bezels to his truck), so it's possible. Although he said to be carefully because it's really easy to break the pieces while removing them.

It sure is. My bezel just came in today and as soon as I unscrewed the tc buttons the mount broke and I had to glue it back together.

That's pretty cool. Im tempted but that would make my regular cab into a permanent two seater.

Thanks for all the great info

From what I have read on these forums and others is that you can swap the jump seat for the center console, but I have not found that many posts saying you can go from center console to jump seat. I am assuming it can be done since people are just swapping parts. The question I have is has anyone done this with a 2014 or up Sport? Thanks for the info.

Yes it can be done, not sure why you would but its really unbolt and bolt it. You are going to need a bit of trim parts to do that..center dash trim, center drawer, column, shifter cable, brackets, seat belt, some wiring....etc. I can sell you the column, column shifter, and other pieces if you serious PM me.

Thanks for confirming that for me nyciti. Since I have the silly dash knob for shifting I should be able to get away with just the lower dash pieces. Thankfully, the console swap is only temporary. Thanks again for the info!

Ah didn't realize you had a 15. Yeah you are going to need the center dash trim (upper and lower, and the drawer), the seat, and seat belt. Should be fairly easy for you. Wiring is the same for the media hub, its under the drivers seat. The hub can be swap over.

Theo - i have all of the parts needed to swap the center console out for the jump seat if you dont mind gray cloth...if its temporary it shouldnt be too big of a deal.

one thing to keep in mind is you might lose the air duct to the rear seats if you swap to the jumpseat. its a different piece of ductwork, it goes under the carpet on the jumpseat versions.

Located near Philadelphia Pa. Looking to trade my 2012 center jump seat for a center console with or without the shifter.

My jump seat is dark gray cloth but I have Clazzio Leather Seat Covers so the jump seat has black leather covers so it can be used in either a dark cloth interior or dark leather interior.

If anyone wants to trade and is somewhat local you can text me at 267-984-0865.

I already have the center console piece so I would be looking to swap my jump seat for mainly the radio bezel, the brackets and if it's the shifter model then we would obviously swap the shifter cables and steering wheel column shifter box.

I was missing a part so my shifter was not working right with out it .....Now everthing works like factory ...Best mod i have done to my express ...So make sure you get all these parts in order to make it work 100 percent right . You need wiring harness 68024883AC SHIFTER JUMPER WIRING to move the wiring in the column to the console ,It just makes your column wires longer to plug into the shifter in the console .

52855896AA Shifter 2009 - 2011
52109706AC LEVER MANUAL CONTROL
52104371AG BRACKET SHIFT CABLE
52855956AG GEARSHIFT CONTROL CABLE

And this is the column cover part number

STEERING COLUMN W/console shift, Gray 1GE44XDVAB

All this with a used console and console radio bezel are need to swap it in a truck with out a console .
Thanks for taking the time to write all this great info, i need the harness that comes out of the console to plug under the driver seat. Do you know that part number ?
