If someone has time a total parts lists broken down would immensely be appreciated. Im having a hard time making a list of all the parts I need to do this so I can order everything in one shot....
I did mine a few days ago. Everything worked for a day but now I don’t have power to the usb/12v cigarette lighter but the one on the back works 😭.I checked the wiring and even replaced the fuse but no good 😭
Their was a plug that you found hidden next to the glovebox. Is that the plug that connects to the wiring harness on the center console (USB ports)? I doing the same thing on my 2012 ram 1500 . Was having problems locating the wire harness to plug 🔌into the center console.
Can anyone help me or point me in the right direction. I wanna order the center console. But my 4x4 shift is in the lower floor console. How would that play out? Do I need to switch it to a knob ?
For anyone wondering, the bolts to attach the console to the bracket are M6. You’ll need a few washers as well but it’s the same bolt for the front and back bracket.
Just swapped my middle seat out for the console and your video helped immensely! Thanks very much! Side note, the 90° AC vent should break down to half pieces to make that install a little easier.
Looking to do the same swap on a 2017 dodge ram 1500 express. Where did u get the console from. Having trouble finding one that is compatible with my truck. Thank you
Alfonzo Gomez center console came from eBay as did the brackets for the back. I also got the instrument bezel from eBay. Watch my first video and you will see what the difference is.
Terrible video quality, angles , out of frame , I’m sorry .. but thank you this was a good video . This is the only video I’ve seen showing this , and that really says something , so seriously good on you ! Maybe get a head mount ?
I bought both the center console and the radio bezel from eBay. the center console came with the rear bracket and I had to buy the front bracket and the air duct adapter from the dealer.
I'm trying to do mine as we speak. The problem I'm having is with the flip down console/jump seat, and the way it's mounted. The brackets on the passenger side are mounted to the same bolts as the passenger seat. Is this a problem you ran into, or was yours mounted differently?
I have a question for you. Did the back HVAC venting come with like a dummy plug under the radio, so people without this sort of setup could install this? Because i really would like the rear AC setup with the floor console.
I have a 2017 bighorn with center and a buddy has a 2018 sxt jump seats. Do all the wiring line up for both when we swap? Should be zero modifications?
@@monkeylord88 thanks! I'm concern that my bucket seats dont have the holes for the jump seat to bolt on and also the seatbelts buckle wont bolt to my driver side. Will find out next week!
Quang Nguyen so you the center seat souls be good there should be one bolt hole in the floor and the rest are actually on your seats. For the harness you may have to reach under the carpet and move it around, I know I had to do that when putting in the center console.
Awesome job I'm looking to get a 14 to 17 ram and they all have jump seats so this is a huge help thanks! Also you said your going to install the 8.4 radio but have you seen the 10.4 Tesla style radio that thing is awesome
Average Joe Anime reviews thanks bud, yes I know of them and they look sweet but they lack analog controls and I’ve heard mixed reviews on the software. The uconnect radios are very reliable.
@@monkeylord88 yeah I feel you on that i got my ram this weekend and it has the 8.4 and there's now reason to go bigger that the 8.4. And keep up the awesome work !!
Did either of you find a jump seat? I have a 2021 Classic with a jump seat (gray and black leather cover) with vents in the back that I’d be willing to exchange for the console.
Dhobby good question, the center console was about $400 from eBay. All other parts were maybe $200. Pricy but worth it. I was also able to sell some of the old parts to off set the price.
Homehobbymechanic88 thanks for the quick response and transparency. Totally worth it to get the cheaper 6 seater and install this yourself. Thanks for the info.
Hi, nice video man , i will be doing this tomorrow, what type of screws or bolts did you use to attach the center console to the rear and front brackets?
If someone has time a total parts lists broken down would immensely be appreciated. Im having a hard time making a list of all the parts I need to do this so I can order everything in one shot....
Do you have the part number for the HVAC adapter? 1:46.
Ive seen one on ebay but says it fits "crew cab" i have a quad cab,do u think it matters?
Whats the bolt size for the side of those brackets you went and got?
Would you happen to have the part number for the hvac adapter that mounts to the front bracket
55056931ab
Why are you talking like Joe Biden?
Where did you get that HVAC adapter?
The part number for the air duct is 55056931ab oem
Do you happen to also have the numbers for the front and rear brackets?
You're awesome! Been searching everywhere for this!
Did the same to my 2019 classic big horn but I'm not getting power from anything.🤦🏻♂️ Anyone have any ideas
You got all the harnesses connected? One of the harness can be found under the driver seat.
Hey i'm looking to do this to my classic as well. Could you PM me, I have some questions austinbbarnett@gmail.com
@GSXR4LIFE
Did you ever fix your console?
I have this same issue ..
HEY BUDDY I JUST DID THE SAME THING IN MY BUT I HAVE ONE QUESTION! MY POWER OUTLET WORKS WHEN I PLUG SOMETHING AFTER 3S SHUT OFF DO U KNOW WHY?
Is your caps lock on or something?
This video definitely helped me out with installing my new center console. Much appreciated!
I did mine a few days ago. Everything worked for a day but now I don’t have power to the usb/12v cigarette lighter but the one on the back works 😭.I checked the wiring and even replaced the fuse but no good 😭
even though it's reverse of what i want to do, this helped more than anything else i could find haha
Same! I have never swapped a seat back for center consuls. But I have done the reverse several times
Any of you have that how to video of that ?? ?
Nice
Their was a plug that you found hidden next to the glovebox. Is that the plug that connects to the wiring harness on the center console (USB ports)? I doing the same thing on my 2012 ram 1500 . Was having problems locating the wire harness to plug 🔌into the center console.

I just installed a console in my 16 express. I dont have any response from my usb/ charging ports. Did i miss a harness somewhere
For anyone wondering, the bolts to attach the console to the bracket are M6. You’ll need a few washers as well but it’s the same bolt for the front and back bracket.
Just swapped my middle seat out for the console and your video helped immensely! Thanks very much! Side note, the 90° AC vent should break down to half pieces to make that install a little easier.
Def gonna console swap!👍🏾
Somewhat informative, but can you keep your camera in one orientation?
Noted! Lol
Do you have the part to the old seat with the vent on the back? Or a picture? I’m trying to do the same but having problems finding the seat
Looking to do the same swap on a 2017 dodge ram 1500 express. Where did u get the console from. Having trouble finding one that is compatible with my truck. Thank you
eBay. Check you local junkyards as well.
Do you have a link? I can’t find this online
Life Of Chris find what?
Thanks for the vid. It would have been awesome if you would have included the parts numbers. Just saying.
I have a single cab express with center seat and I found a center console with bezel and bracket think it would fit and work plug and play?
hestrada30890 plug and play but you will need the hvac to get the rear vents to work.
says it comes with a/c ducts, 2 brackets,dash bezel replacement
Might give it the go thanks for the reply 👍 great video
I too have a single cab 2 door 2014 ram 1500. Where did u get yours at and how didbthe install go? Thinkin of doing the same thing.
Nive work man. What's that plug coming from the center console for? The center console i bought dont have it...please let me know. Tks
You can also sell your old center seat for like $300 to get some money back.
does anyone happen to know the plug/harness that attaches to the harness under the seat? my console dosnt have one
Good job buddy u have a link to the floor console thx
Where did you actually buy the center console from as well as the rest of the parts?
Alfonzo Gomez center console came from eBay as did the brackets for the back. I also got the instrument bezel from eBay. Watch my first video and you will see what the difference is.
Check Facebook Dodge Ram groups, Craigslist and car-parts.com ebay too but that’s the most expensive
I’m trying to look for a center console for my 2019 ram 1500 classic. Where did you end up getting yours?
Junk yard
Terrible video quality, angles , out of frame , I’m sorry .. but thank you this was a good video . This is the only video I’ve seen showing this , and that really says something , so seriously good on you !
Maybe get a head mount ?
joe buck video was made with an iPhone but I have considered getting a GoPro moving forward.
Where did you get the entire center console, looking to do the same swap in my truck but I’m having trouble finding the whole unit.
I bought both the center console and the radio bezel from eBay. the center console came with the rear bracket and I had to buy the front bracket and the air duct adapter from the dealer.
Is it possible to switch out a center console for a bench seat on a 2014 Ram sport single cab?
Yes, harnesses are the same
What was the total swap time to get the old one out and new one in?
cody armstrong couple of hours not too bad.
Do you know if you can do it backwards, turn a 5 passenger truck to 6 passenger truck. Specifically a 2015 Laramie
Yes
Did you make the swap yet ? I’m looking to do the same with mine 2019 ram 3500
I'm trying to do mine as we speak. The problem I'm having is with the flip down console/jump seat, and the way it's mounted. The brackets on the passenger side are mounted to the same bolts as the passenger seat. Is this a problem you ran into, or was yours mounted differently?
Shawn Metz take the bolt out , remove the seat and put the bolt back in
I have a question for you. Did the back HVAC venting come with like a dummy plug under the radio, so people without this sort of setup could install this? Because i really would like the rear AC setup with the floor console.
XxX_PussyDestroyer_XxX bro I love your name! 😂😂😂😂. Unfortunately it did not. However, it really depends on what center console you find.
This is awesome
Where did you get the Hvac airway adapter to replace the one you pulled out buddy?
Got it from the dealership.
Is there a wiring harness that comes off the console itself?
Central console will have its own wiring and it will hook up directly to the factory harness.
I have a 2017 bighorn with center and a buddy has a 2018 sxt jump seats. Do all the wiring line up for both when we swap? Should be zero modifications?
Quang Nguyen on mine there was zero modifications. Everything was plug and play. Your buddy should be good.
@@monkeylord88 thanks! I'm concern that my bucket seats dont have the holes for the jump seat to bolt on and also the seatbelts buckle wont bolt to my driver side. Will find out next week!
Quang Nguyen so you the center seat souls be good there should be one bolt hole in the floor and the rest are actually on your seats. For the harness you may have to reach under the carpet and move it around, I know I had to do that when putting in the center console.
Where can I get the whole conversion kit
I just started looking and there are multiple options on ebay.
Awesome job I'm looking to get a 14 to 17 ram and they all have jump seats so this is a huge help thanks! Also you said your going to install the 8.4 radio but have you seen the 10.4 Tesla style radio that thing is awesome
Average Joe Anime reviews thanks bud, yes I know of them and they look sweet but they lack analog controls and I’ve heard mixed reviews on the software. The uconnect radios are very reliable.
@@monkeylord88 yeah I feel you on that i got my ram this weekend and it has the 8.4 and there's now reason to go bigger that the 8.4. And keep up the awesome work !!
Average Joe Anime reviews does it have apple car play?
Thank you!!! Took me awhile to find this vid.
Daniel Farias spread the word brotha!
Would you happen to know the screw sizes?
Michael Hazlerig I cant remember. I brought the bracelet with me to Home Depot and tried a bunch until I found one that works.
Do you know the part number for the havoc adapter ?
Dustin Stanley I do not but if you go to the dealer and have them print out a diagram of the center console you will see it in there.
55056931ab
I'm trying to do the opposite thing ..
Me to were you able to find the seat with the vents to the back?
Did either of you find a jump seat? I have a 2021 Classic with a jump seat (gray and black leather cover) with vents in the back that I’d be willing to exchange for the console.
@@slaylien I ended up buying a center seat ..thank you tho
I have a center seat if someone wants to trade. I’d like to do this conversion
Thanks for the video! I may have missed it, but what was the total cost to make the swap?
Dhobby good question, the center console was about $400 from eBay. All other parts were maybe $200. Pricy but worth it. I was also able to sell some of the old parts to off set the price.
Homehobbymechanic88 thanks for the quick response and transparency. Totally worth it to get the cheaper 6 seater and install this yourself. Thanks for the info.
Would happen to have part numbers for all the parts needed to do this conversion looking for center console now to do this
You can also turn around and sell your old center seat for around $300 on eBay to recoup some of the money.
Where did you get your hvac?
jdeming41046 what part do you mean exactly? The plastic adapter I used for the hvac floor vent came from the dealership.
Okay do you remember what it was called? I gotta have one also. And where did your get your dash bezel?
jdeming41046 the bezel came from eBay. Watch my first video to see the difference between the two bezels. I’ll get back with you on the hvac part.
Hi, nice video man , i will be doing this tomorrow, what type of screws or bolts did you use to attach the center console to the rear and front brackets?
Can’t remember lol been awhile, I brought the brackets with me to Home Depot and just fitted the bolts and nuts they had until one size worked.
