00 Esky seats in a 01 Yukon?

Indeed, sounds like junkyard visits are in my future.

Did the gmt400 bolt into the express van without modification? Are they power seats? Plug and play?

Not completely bolted. I even used the Express van seat tracks--fun ride lol! 1st had them in my 01 van, and they were electric seats--pwr seat worked no problem. I moved them to my 05, which has the fuse box under the driver seat, so the pwr seat track doesn't fit. Seats are def not PnP tho.

How did you get the power seats to work in the 01 van?

Did you have to splice in a new connector? Or did the connector fit?

I know for a fact that the 2003-2006 seats will physically fit and bolt into the 2001. I have a client with a 2001 Silverado 2500 HD and she has 2003 seats in it that I detail for all the time. Not sure how she got the wiring bits to work, but they do work. I can move the seats back and forth while I’m vacuuming. So I’m not sure if you’d have to make a harness and splice together to make work or if they’re plug and play. I also suppose it depends on which power options the seats have and which power options the seats in your truck have. Different seat options might affect what the harness looks like. Your best bet is to look in a junkyard and see what the harness looks like in a 2003 truck versus what your 2001 harness looks like.

Wow is there any chance to ask her next time you see her, how she got the seats to work? Mainly, just if the connector plugged right in or if there was electrical work needing to be done.

All good if not possible, just thought I’d put it out there.

I bought the complete setup and he had some of the female end of the connector going to the pwr track. All I did was run a constant hot to the fuse box and run a ground. Good to go.
