Suburban Tahoe Seat Questions

wwwToddH

I'm still not absolutely sure the years are interchangeable. So far, I talked to a Chevy dealership (they couldn't tell me), a salvage yard (they were pretty sure, but not sure), and here on this forum one of the notes said 2000 to 2006 are. If 2000 seats will work with no drilling req'd in a 2001, I'd be interested in trading. I'd also be willing to buy a bench seat outright. I'm in NW Ohio.

I have 03 Tahoe Captains Chairs , tan, in excellent condition and would like to swap for bench seat. I am in the central east coast of florida. Would be willing to travel some distance to meet and see if the bolt pattern is the same. Where are you located?

Hi all,

This is to update and correct my earlier post(s).

We have been looking into swapping or buying locally. According to a knowledgeable man my husband spoke with today (the guy deals in these type of seat swaps) -- it is NOT possible to swap captains chairs for bench seat without drilling holes in the floor. The bolt patterns are different. Sounds like it won't work even within the same model year, not unless you don't mind a few extra holes in your floor.

bradb1,

Tahoe-to-Suburban seat swap does not work. Mounting in floor is totally different.

I would believe that swap between two Tahoes would work though. I have a light tan bench seat in very good condition.

I am in Baton Rouge, LA. How far is Pensacola for you to drive to? It is about 5 hours for me.

Do you have anything for '04 Suburbans? I have a passenger seat that will not move forward or backwards. It will click when I try to move it but that's it. Every other position works as advertised. I think the motor may have burned up but don't know which one it is.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Got this:

Seats
Front Seat Adjuster Motor
Removal & Installation
To Remove:

NOTE: The seat adjuster motors can not be replaced separately. If a motor is defective, the seat adjuster will have to be replaced as an assembly.

Remove the front seat.
Remove the seat side trim panel.
Remove the seat cushion frame from the seat adjuster.
Remove the inboard mounting nut and remove the seat belt buckle from the seat track.
Disconnect the seat belt electrical connector
Remove the seat back frame from the seat adjuster.
Remove the seat back hinge/recliner mechanism.
Remove the seat adjuster track cover.
If equipped, remove the memory module,
Remove the seat adjuster from the vehicle.
Disconnect and replace the motors as needed.
To Install:

Position the memory module to the seat. Install the mounting screws. Tighten to 26 lb in (3 Nm).
Position the inboard seat belt buckle to the seat track. Install the mounting nut. Tighten to 39 ft lb (53 Nm).
Connect the seat belt buckle electrical connector.
Install the seat adjuster track cover.
Install the seat back hinge/recliner assembly.
Install the seat back frame to the seat adjuster.
Install the seat cushion frame to the seat adjuster.
Install the seat side trim panel.
Install the seat.
Calibrate the seat if equipped with memory seats.

Now, I'm not a mechanic, but if you could somehow get in there, maybe you could figure out how to replace just one of the motors. That's assuming it's really a motor that's the issue and not a broken wire or circuit board trace or the module or one of the switches. There's also a 30A seat circuit breaker, but I don't think you'd have any of the functions if that was blown.

Thanks for the info. That's way more than I've been able to pull up anywhere. I'll let you know how it works out.

Are you still looking? I am in Volusia County, I have a 2005 Tahoe with tan leather Bench seat, looking for captains chairs, where are you located?

christoffels

Where are you located at? It looks like I am going to be purchasing a 2008 Suburban with black leather this week. It has a bench seat and I am looking for captains chairs for it.

Are you still interested in doing the swap?

binghamm

I have a 2005 Tahoe, Tan interior Bench looking for captains chairs. Leather is in good condition with some wear. Do you still have the capts chairs? I live in Tampa, actually land o lakes.

mattjberg

I have a 2003 Tahoe Z71 with captains seats and am looking or will trade for a 60/40 bench seat. Located in Columbus, OH

mattjberg

Do you still have the bench seat to you 2003 Tahoe?

YukonFL

Did you ever swap out your 2nd row 60/40 bench? What year was yours? I just bought a 2008 Yukon with tan leather 2nd row captains and would like to swap for a bench.

buckshotb

I have a light grey leather 2nd row bench seat from a 2007 Suburban in like new condition. Located in North Carolina & am willing to sell very reasonable.

arrie

What color do you have?
I have tan leather bench in excellent condition. Almost like new. Are your captain's in good condition?
I'm in Baton Rouge, LA but have had my '04 Tahoe in Columbus for a couple of times so it can happen if you are interested in swapping them out.

Arrie

SuburbanZ71

I want to swap my 60/40 split bench with Captains Chairs. They are Tan leather (original) and always had seat covers on them so they have no ware on them. I am Corona California.... willing to travel withing few hours distance.

christoffels

I have a 2008 Suburban with Grey leather interior and a 60/40 middle row bench seat. I am looking to either trade for or purchase grey leather captians chairs. If anyone is interested please let me know...

I'm looking to buy or swap 2 Captain seats for 2nd row bench seat for a 07 yukon xl denali in black leather. im in New York City anyone?

arrie

07denaliXLNYC,

Don't waste your time under this topic. I have offered to drive to three different persons who claimed that would want to swap out captain chairs for a bench. I have a tan leather bench in almost "as new" condition.

I have offered to drive to Oklahoma, Ohio and Florida from Baton Rouge, LA and every time it would be the time to realize the swap suddenly these people stop replying. A bunch of idiots who dream about it to a point to write under this topic but it is only a dream...

Arrie

07denaliXLNYC

oh wow..thanks.

Are you still looking to sell your bench seat from your 07 Surburban? Would it fit in the rear position do you think? How much are you asking?

pierceman

I just did the swap from Buckets to a bench in a 2005 Tahoe
I bought a 60/40 Grey leather bench on EBAY ($81, deal of the year). I had to pick them up (5 hour drive), but it was well worth it
I'm happy to report that this is an easy swap, 8 bolts total!
The bench is very heavy, and I installed them through the rear hatch
You will definately need 2 people minimium to move this around
I only have one complaint and word of warning,
Although the leather matches the seats perfectly (I beleive it was out of a 2004 Tahoe) the carpet like fabric on the back of the seat is black compared to my trucks grey. It didn't stop me, but it probably will keep me from selling my grey buckets since I would probably like to restore my truck to the stock setup when I get rid of it
I did not realize the the middle seat only has a lap belt. I have 3 kids, and right now, the infant car seat is going in the middle, which is not easy to get in and out I do not know if I will feel comfortable with one of my older children sitting with only a lap belt
How does everyone else do it? Did the middle seats ever come with shoulder belts?
Do the new ones come with shoulder belts?
Thanks
Rich

The 2nd row bench seat, on a 2007 Suburban, has a shoulder belt for the center person integrated into the seat back.

buckshotb

Yes, I am still trying to sell my bench seat, however I am fairly sure that it will only fit in the 2nd row position.

hisgrace365

I have two grey leather second row captains chairs from a 2003 GMC yukon. I believe they fit from 2001-2006. Asking $200. Can send pics. Seats are in Central Florida.

pilotkip

I am in South East Tennessee and have two tan leather Captain chairs that I would trade even for a bench in similar condition. We have a growing family and need the extra spot in the middle. One owner vehicle. The driver side rear seat has only been used a few times. The passenger side has only had a car seat installed since new. Perfect condition 100%. I would rather have the captains seats, but the wife wants a bench. If it makes her happy, it makes me happy.

sdvander

I have a 2007 Tahoe with Black leather bench and am interested in getting captains chairs. Willing to do an even swap ... we would just need to ship the chairs...figure the cost of that would be worth the trade...? Anyways... email is scottv@verathon.com if interested. Thanks. We can measure to make sure the swao works ...plus pics...

01burban

Hello,

My wife owns an '01 Suburban that has a 2nd row bench. She wants captain chairs since we have 4 kids and 2 of them are in car seats. The seat is in good condition. I work in Nashville on a weekly basis. If you still have the seats, please email me at paulyoung10@yahoo.com. Thanks, Paul

frisco27915

i have a 2002 chevy suburban and have 2nd row tan bench seats. and would like to trade for tan captain seats. i live out in virginia

schuck1

I have a 60/40 tan bench in a 2003 tahoe and would like to change to captains chairs. I previously purchased suburban captains chairs and the seat mounts don't work. A tahoe has a couple of inch difference from the front of the chair to the rear bracket as the floor has to make room for the differential that the suburban doesn't since its wheelbase is longer. I live in Iowa but will pay for freight shipping if necessary. Thanks

simongabriel

Is it still available? I got tan leather bench 60/40 on a 2003 Tahoe Z71 in Dallas

simongabriel

I have an 03 Z71 with tan leather will trade bench for the two captain seats, if still available

chief37

jessegonzales

Hey, I have a 2000 Suburban with a tan 60/40 bench would like to trade for captain chairs. Let me know asap. Thanks

schuck1

Hi yes I am still interested. I am in Mason City Iowa, which is 1/2 way between Des Moines IA and Minneapolis MN. Are your captain chairs tan in color and in good shape?

thanks!

Steve

schuck1

Be careful, suburban or yukon XL seats will not fit a tahoe. The floor pan is different due to the shorter wheelbase.

Steve

linconsr
