hey I'm looking to do a center console swap eventually and I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find one(other than the junk yard, I've checked around my area)? I have the center third seat....

But I want this:


any help is appreciated

 

I think it would be a pain, but can be done. If not at a junk yard then maybe the dealer or ebay may be your only choice.

thanks for that thread...I'm willing to put in the time and i found out from doing some research that its the same console as a few years before 2005 and there is one at my local Pull-a-part. so i'll be making the trip down there soon! Thanks for showing me that thread!

 

Yea, I should have mentioned that. I think 2000 or 2001 and up is the same console. Good luck!

 

Make sure the catch release works. Mine was busted when I bought the truck - they gave me a $200 cheque. There is a little plastic ridge behind the push handle that breaks off. There seem to be all kinds of reasons why the original didn't work so well - Dodge sells a replacement system for $200 - on my truck it looks like the return spring is too stiff. I finally found one at the u-pull yard that worked and it had a much lighter spring. I destroyed a flat screwdriver snapping the rivets off because I didn't have most of my tools when I dropped in for a bit of trim for my wifes car. $2 plus another $3 for 50 rivets of the correct size and it works like a charm now!

 

thanks for the heads up


also for future reference...anyone else that is looking to do this, I'm 99% sure the 01-03 durango's had the same consol in the center!

 

I'll Trade you my center console for your seat

 

I swapped out my middle seat for the floor console and am extremely happy that I did it.

There are pictures and a writeup about it. Second gen consoles do fit the third Gens. Mine is from a second Gen.

 

are you anywhere near northwest Kentucky?

 

That's a great write up! Thanks! I can't wait to get started. Although I wish I didn't have to drill those rivet things out...oh well...stuff is rarely easier than it seems.
