Z-TRUCK

Yeah, I hate dealing with the dealership also. They are just a pain, last time they left grease & grim all over the truck, changed my oil without my asking, I had just changed it the day before and told them I didn’t want anything but the tire rotation & balance. But they did it anyway, and they take forever. Just hate going to dealership. ?

Thanks for the info, thought is was just mine ?

Does everyones wheel get hot or very warm?. I’ve noticed mine seems more warm than hot , so heated really mean warm . But I imagine when winter comes, warm will feel hot . lol thanks.

The ones I bought from Phil have worked faultlessly since installed.

Great video Phil ?

Thanks Phil. Yeah they come on during the day, when the doors are opened, and at night when unlocking truck. So puddles comes on every time doors are opened, but with these diode mods, the Cab/backups/& Puddles at night. So, puddles at Day, & All at night...Thanks Phil, & Thanks to everyone who brought us this mod.

So Phil, the Gray diode isn’t needed on the 16 models? I installed this diode on my 16, noticed the puddle lights now mimic the interior lights, On & Off , as well as the exit lights of the Cab & Taillights diode mods.

Just wanted to give a big thanks to P.gamboa, and tinker fox for the videos on this upgrade of the heated wheel install. And a huge thanks to p.gamboa for all his help with Harness’s for these upgrades on my truck (16 CCSB LT), such as the DL3 mirrors, Auto dimming mirrors, and of course this Heated Steering wheel. Thanks to this forum & it’s info, I can now enjoy my truck a lot better, thanks folks.

When the weight dampener is added, the 2500 is the same as the 1500’s. The reason for the different GM part numbers.

I can’t take credit for this,but thought you all might like to know. From a GM tech: Concerning the Difference between the 1500 & 2500 Steering Wheels: It’s the Weight Dampener, it comes off in 10 seconds by pushing out from the rear side,it’s not an electrical part. It is designed to minimize vibration on the lighter trucks that come up the steering column. The heavier 2500 trucks have more weight and don't require. We plugged this into the 1500’s Clock Spring with heated wheel, success,No problems, no lights. Trying to post pictures for you. That's all you need to do to add this component onto to make the same as the 1500. it was an easy change over. Remember to use the 1500 Clock Spring With Heat. ok, Having trouble post pics.

I wonder if anyone has any knowledge as to the 2500 Steering wheel having the heated wiring present,such as a lot of these trucks having the plug present for the heated wheel,although some are hot, but some not?. Oh also, want to give a huge Thanks to Pgamboa & others, whom have made this upgrade possible with their help and sharing.

Pgamboa Would’nt that be corrected with the 2 wire Airbag Clock Spring for the 1500 ? Using the 2500 wheel and 1500 clock Spring you think?

Yeah, the 2500 clock Spring has 1 wire hookup, the 1500 has 2. GM has changed even the 1500’s Part number haven’t they. So other than the air bag it looks identical. I suppose no one has gave this a try yet. I’m curious to, and you can’t ask the dealership, they say none of this stuff can change. Thanks

Would like to know if the 2500 heated wheel would fit as well?
