I think my problem is with the wiring harness jumper to the console shifter , I have to look into it when i have more day light to work with . It looks like a simple fix ....

I haven't seen any of the express models with that style with all the controls. They usually have just 4 buttons

I looked at a 2012 express before I bought the slt and it only had the 4 buttons. Does yours have uconnect? I think you get more control options with it

Looks like he has the uconnect and if he ordered it with a trailer brake controller he would have the evic and all the buttons on the steering wheel


Looks good!

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 .
