Ranger Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Very nice Logan. Your project had me thinking about getting a DHS and putting in buckets and console, but decided it might be more than I really wanted to get involved in so I went with the SLS. Maybe next time. At least I know where to go for advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted March 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Very nice Logan. Your project had me thinking about getting a DHS and putting in buckets and console, but decided it might be more than I really wanted to get involved in so I went with the SLS. Maybe next time. At least I know where to go for advice. All the cars are using buckets. There is a center arm rest 'console' that is removed....it is not part of the seat. In other words....they are not a 60/40 seat. So installing the full floor shifter/ console....you dont have to change the seats at all.

Ranger Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Hmm, well, too late now. Maybe in 4 years when I am ready for a new one and will be retired and looking for a project to keep me out of trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chazglenn3 Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Is the instrument cluster swap a "plag and play" affair? The only thing keeping me from looking at base DeVille's is the digital dash...I hate it! Charles Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northstar Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Yes it is plug and start playing with your cool new dash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted March 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Yes it is plug and start playing with your cool new dash. Yes, the cluster is plug and play. It will work. At the time of the purchase.....that issue was not so clear. GM has a bulletin about swapping modules like clusters and radios. Many will not work due to VIN programming etc. In this case, the cluster fired right up....now we know.... I did have to cut the plastics above the cluster....for the floating display....U can see the cut in the cluster trim upper plastics..

WarrenJ Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Purdy! There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as the result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved. - Ludwig von Mises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeal1892 Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 i agree with that the dash from my sls i like so much better than the base model deville. ive had 4 deville and 1 seville and i would much rather have the deville. michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmutt Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 What do all you guys like about the Deville that's so much better than the Seville? must admit I never even considered one when I was looking for my Seville; Clue me in.

The Deville is a bit bigger in the back seat, and I also like the styling...really hated the digital display though. I also have noticed here in the Pacific NW that Deville's are cheaper than Seville's. It's good to know the cluster is an easy swap.
