Leather LT interior swap

[87carl]

I just got a parts burb. 07 same as mine. The parts one is a LT with nice leather seats. Fronts I'm sure will be a straight forward swap. Middle is buckets mine has bench middle any tips on that? Will they bolt right up or will I have to drill holes or anything? Third row should clip in place of old third row right? Haven't had chance to get a close look at it all yet. Cracked block and some rust. I bought it mostly for a spare transmission. Wife wants the leather interior I gotta agree it's alot nicer than our cloth interior. And yes those are 90s 16 inch rims they unbolted calipers to put them on it lol

Easy peasy, no drilling, just transfer everything over. You've got a ton of good used parts there too.

That's good news and yea lots of parts other than different seats and our blue one having power adjustable pedals this one is optioned mostly the same as our blue burb so most electronics inside should work which is good because the blue one is throwing alot of body codes I want to fix also.

What is the seat bolts size? From google I found they are called e torx but can't figure out sizes

go to harbor freight and get some torx sockets, should be nice and cheap.

And i bet those have the heated option.
I wonder if it's a plug and play if you add the door controls?

 

[87carl]

Unfortunately these aren't heated. I wish they were. Our local Harbor freight didn't have a big enough set of e-sockets home depot did tho. For the record the nuts on the front of the tracks and seatbelt are e20 and the bolts on the back of the tracks are e14 2nd row was normal 18mm and on the split bench seats have 2 13mm nuts also. Swapped the seats yesterday today working on finally doing a spring detailing scrub to get rid of all the dirt salt and mud from winter and spring she was getting to be a dirty girl. I hate how upper interior is tan and lower is black. Thinking of dying parts burb upper plastics black if that all works out good I will swap them in and will probably redo parts burbs headliner and visors. thinking of using a blue flannel material so it's got some color might do some on door panels too to tie it together idk yet for sure. next time I go to town I will find a fabric store see what they got.

Question regarding 2nd row bench to bucket swap: How does the carpet look between the buckets? Does it have a seam, or less faded, or holes for bolts? I just bought buckets to do the same swap, but wonder, will I need to replace the carpet too?

 

[87carl]

Normal carpet no bolt holes or anything at first could see marks from where bracket sat on it but those disappeared after a while.

I just picked up a set of bucket seats to swap out my bench. The set I grabbed are manual but do have the heated option. I also grabbed the harness from the donor car. My question is, do these cars come prewired for all different trim levels? Would my harness have the plug for the heated bench middle row under the carpet? 2013 Yukon XL SLT in question

 

[Shackman7878]

Only issue you might run into (maybe not this project but someone doing this like I did) is the connectors 6 8 and 12 way seats all have different connectors. Also there is 2 different airbag connectors see photos (spent extra day swapping airbags in the seats). Dose the current running suburban have airbags in the seats?
As for the bolts holding the front seats down I hammered on a standard socket got them off went to a local hardware store and bought grade 8.8 nuts/bolts hate those horrible torx hardware.

I took the heating element out. On the power folding seat option but removed the circuit board and wired direct to the motor for be careful there is no stop and you can strip the plastic gears also learned the hard way write Top on top of the motor they are directional. Have to dig out the wiring diagrams but it is looking for multiple sensors and low reference sensors.

Thanks @Shackman7878 appreciate the pictures and guidance. I don't believe my seats are power folding because they've got the manual flip up lever. I believe that are only heated. Donor car had a heated seat switch on the rear console and a power harness. I'm just curious to know if all models have the harness prewired to make this plug and play or if I'll have to wire up the plug to the harness

Can you post a photo of the connector I might be able to look it up and get a Pin out diagram. Also check the C pillar and the back hatch area for the photo switch

I'll send a picture once I get out of work. I don't have those switches anywhere and the donor car didn't either. The only switch for seats was mounted on the rear climate control console for heat.

I've also attached a picture of my original console controls which didn't have the heated seat buttons and they plugged in without issue

 

[5StarG3neral]

@Shackman7878 here are some pictures of the connector from the donor car harness. I haven't gotten a chance to look under my carpet to see if it's prewired or not
