After reading divejoes threads about him adding the radio controls, I was wondering if I could add cruise control by buying a new wheel. If I pull the airbag on the current non-cruise wheel, will I be able to see right away wheter or not a connector for cruise control is there?

just got finshed adding factory cruise to my 07 nbs sierra

 

here are the things needed

 

1. steering wheel with cruise buttons and wiring harness (no harness available yet)

2. clockspring that has steering wheel controls

 

install is easy no puller needed, remove air bag and covers over column

 

clockspring is connected from steering wheel harness,

and air bag wiring pigtail

 

install the new parts ,

 

 

the truck will be need to programmed at the dealer

 

they will need to call techline for a bcm recalibrate

 

please call you dealer for costs i estmate they would charge a hour at the current rate

 

the bcm gets reflashed and sir relearned,

 

then the cruise will function as factory with cluster indicator

 

 

but the switch backlights will still need to be wired

 

 

 

do this pull driver side dash fuse panel out

note the 2 amp swc bklt fuse is missing and no terminals for it,

 

the back side there are a brown and yellow wire at the top next to each other connect them together with a fuse pigtail

 

push the fuse panel back into place

 

there the lights should work and for radio controls too

 

 

please note there might be some build changes but my truck is early 07 and base model

 

 

reply if you have questions i will try to help as this is fresh in my head

Isn't cruise pretty much standard anymore?

looks like its still not standard on base and wt trims

 

( )

looks like that offends some people,

 

i will say the tundra has all your basic options standard

 

and if wasnt for my gm discount there would be a bed shakin' tundra in the driveway

base trucks do not have the bcm prewired

 

i checked the some trucks on the lot

 

mine is a crew wt i have the wiring to the bcm

 

im working on part numbers for the terminals needed

 

but it still can be done

 

so far i have 125.00 in the cruise add on

      Lets Talk Z60 Suspension

      By ryan35205 · Posted

      Did the KYBs keep it the same height in the front? I was concerned that pre-assembled assembly would raise it up an inch to standard non-z60 height.. I guess which it would make the rake 1 inch instead of 2 inches.

      Thank you for keeping the train on the tracks and for a thoughtful engagement. I enjoyed the reflection on a previous stance to refine and improve your position. I like that inquisitive flexibility about you Atlas.    No the process isn't sterile. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of miles of piping, vessels, pumps. Chevron, the people I worked for, were keenly aware that there is a market for what is known as their "ISOCLEAN" line of lubricants. These are lubricants that are the same as those sold bulk that are further processed by filtration to a level your particular application demands. They will filter and package and provide lab documentation as required. Do not kid yourself. Every gallon of oil that goes into a Chevron Turbine, reciprocating compressor, generator is prefiltered and tested before being charged. Lest wise it was when I was there in the plants I worked in.    There are requirements set by manufactures for the cleanliness of the oils used in their equipment. OTR such as CUMMINS has standards shared with customers on this. Commercial interest selling to Ma and Pa do, but don't share that information. Not even upon request but internally, they do exist.    The GM study sited, (Graph from Machinery Lubrication in previous post) only shows "relative" importance.  I find that fascinating. By constructing the graph like this they admit there are dozens of factors in engine life and via scientific method determined the effect of 'relative cleanliness' on engine life not in miles but in 'FACTORS'. This allows a certain amount of reverse engineering does it not?   They even provided some touchstones. Beta 75 as a reference point. Wonderful stuff!!   Smaller blenders CAN and some DO take the time and effort to do better than a refinery or large bulk blender, like Warren Oil, in improving the "in the can" cleanliness. No I don't have a list but testing could generate that information.    Again, but one of several levers we can pull to improve engine life. The simplest is keeping a clean work station while doing your own oil changes.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I just spent the last 45K miles doing samples every oil change over more than a full year to get the data for seasons and break-in to broke in.    I found the same thing to be true. Something was always teetering on done or had stepped off the cliff long before the OLM was DOA. In fact, I found about a thousand mile difference between summer and winter. That is during the winter half the OLM was STILL too long. Even the severe schedule was to long in the winter.   Now having done the work I can say I was NOT DISAPOINTED. I saw nothing I didn't already know. Nothing my father hadn't already demonstrated in his 2K OCI's pushing dated iron on dated oils and weak filters to mileages well beyond 300K.   Building on his work through use of Lab testing it wasn't hard to find the correlation between 'sight/feel/odor, the things dad relied on, and test results. Use of current viscosity stable chemistries & filters has pushed that marker for my motors out to 3K summer, 4K winter.    So the early lies were 3K on conventional oil and the lie upon the lie was 7K+. turns out to be off by a factor of two.    So... it is true that modern chemistry has doubled the useful oil life. But the base milage that came from was off by double. It's how good lies work. Partly true, sometimes mostly true so that your meter isn't set off. It also means that non-shear-stable shelf oils are only now as good as the old oils were in their best case scenario.    So the question now is how do we improve on that? Thus the question into cleanliness among the other items listed in the post quoted below.    If this bores you, feel free not to participate.

      Is it though?  Like LTZ, not a high take rate.  Current Sierra has AT4, Denali and Elevation as its main bread winners.  Each trim accounting for 25-35% of sales for Sierra.  SLT makes up about 10-15% at best.        Like others have predicted here for GMC, it will be:   - Pro (equal to WT Chevy)   - Elevation (replaces SLE and SLT)   - AT4 (and X)   - Denali (and Ultimate).
