Responding to my own post 2-1/2 years ago.
Has anyone swapped out 2nd row captains with a split bench?
 
Unfortunately the pregnancy I spoke about 2 years ago didn't make it, but thankfully we are expecting again.
 
Sorry if I never responded to previous responses
I have grey leather in an 05 Yukon SLT in great condition
 
Let me know if anyone has done the swap and/or if they have a bench to trade
 
Thanks

I have a 2002 Chevy. Tahoe Z71 that has not had a problem in 70,000 miles. 6 months ago the security light would come on for no apparent reason, every so often it would go into the tamper proof no start mode and let me sit for 10 minutes. I have known the service manager and the service personnel at the dealer since 1988 and found them to be forthright and honest. They checked the codes and said it looked like the Key Housing that was tripping the system. I replaced that at a cost of 278.00. That did not correct the problem. So we talked about what to do next and they said they were not sure and GM was not giving them much to go with as they have the problem with other models and have had poor success with a fix. Hoping someone here can shed some light on this.

I have installed many remote starts over the years in Chevys and had no problems. I used a number of systems and settled with Bulldog Security. I normally use their Model RS1200E Starter. I do not bother with all the extras as cars now have remote door locks. They have developed an interface cable that is easy to install and eliminates allot of cutting and splicing. Naturally you will have to drop the bottom pannels of the dash to get to everything but that is pretty easy. http://www.bulldogsecurity.com/
the interface cable is called a T Harness and it is worth it.

Rich,
 
We had a similar situation due to a new child, although it was with a 2002 Suburban. For that year, the bucket seats have the exact mounting configuration as a 60/40 split bench for any Suburban for years 2000, 2001 & 2002 I believe. Thus, I found a split bench at a junk yard from a 2001 Suburban. This was after about 1 year of searching. I actually previously bought two different seats that I thought would work - one off of Ebay in which the guy only sent 1 part of the 60/40, and another from an out-of-state used parts guy - the seat was from a '99 Suburban. The problem with the wrong year, other than the size is a bit different, is that all of the mounting locations are different. I would have had to drilled new points through the floor board to mount it. When I got the correct year seat, it fit perfectly on the existing mounts.
 
Forget trying to buy the bench from the dealer or Chevy - they won't sell it to you. My suggestion would be to find a reputable junk yard/parts dealer and have them find it for you. Since yours is an '05, you may want to check first to see if any of the adjacent years are compatible. Chevy may be able to help you with that.
 
Good luck!
 
Brian

For your reference, I paid $250 for the seat from a junkyard, then $500 to have it reupholstered in matching leather.

Don't forget to check your local area Craig's List....also dealers on Ebay have seats for sale all the time.

2008 Chevy Tahoe Concern by asanchez1

In Feb 2008, I bought a z71 Chevy Tahoe. Within the past two months, I began hearing a horrible rattling sound that comes on about two seconds after I start the vehicle. It is so loud that I am embarassed to start it. It is only happening after the vehicle is started. I took the vehicle in for service. However, nothing was found. It is doing it more often. Has anyone had the same problem?
