Update: Local shop completed the cluster install. Works as promised. My son is pretty stoked to have a digital cluster and audio on the steering wheel. First - I wanted to thank Chris for his patience and commitment to customer satisfaction. He's a solid guy and worked to resolve some issues we had with incompatibility on my initial order. I gave him my timeline and the proper cluster arrived in time. Thank you again. One thing my mechanic pointed out when he called me was the lower corners of the cluster have an exposed notch which is not really a surprise given we put a 2024 cluster in a 2022 truck. Merely pointing it out for those that follow suit. I doubt my son would have even noticed had we not said anything. I used a 2024 heated (non-functional) leather steering wheel (Part 235-10057B), the specified harness from Harness Dr. and the WAMs 22.5+ Global B cluster https://www.whiteautoandmedia.com/product-category/fullsizetruck/t1-globalb/ Very slick set up. Thanks to all for for your support on this project.

Thank you both for the follow up. Chris, I'll follow up with you when I return from my current business trip. Cheers-

Chris, Thank you. This helps a lot.

Here's the VIN: 3GCPDEK5NG696353

Chris, Thank you for the reply. I entered the VIN as suggested. I do not see where it clarifies the question of Global A vs Global B. Pardon my ignorance on auto electronics.

While I appreciate the renewed interest in the thread (and the ensuing urinating match thaT followed), I am no closer to having a solution. I emailed WAMs over the weekend and received no reply. This, of course, is expected with the holiday weekend. I have run my VIN through their checker and still am left with doubt as to the actual configuration of my 22 Custom Trail Boss. I went ahead and paid the $800 for what I believed to be the correct cluster. Today, I received a reply to my order (not the initial emailed set of questions - prepurchase) stating that my VIN is Refresh /Global B. The email goes on to request I supply a VIN for a non-refresh truck so that they can ship me the wrong cluster, which on its face is totally absurd. If the cluster I ordered isn't correct, them please suggest a solution rather than this ridiculous request for VIN that I cannot supply. At this rate, I guess, I'll eat the the restocking fee and forget about the upgrade for my son's truck. You can't get anyone on the phone. Some of us don't have the luxury of time to email intermittently all day long. Lesson learned.

22 Custom Trail Boss. Has halogen headlights and looks like a '21.

Not quite. The current wheel doesn't have the audio controls on the right side of wheel. Both of the wheels I ordered from eBay have audio controls. What is unclear to me is how one determines whether a wheel (and the resultant controls) will work when installed with a WAMs cluster upgrade, the Harness Dr. Lin bus cable, etc. Most of the available resources (here, YouTube, etc) show steering wheels with heated option but do not have the FCA button. The 2 wheels I ordered have that. I'm also not clear on Global A vs. Global B as it relates to this process. Thanks for the feedback and commentary.

Thanks for the reply! My truck is pre-refresh 06/2022 mfr date with IOR radio. I've ordered 2 different steering wheels from eBay arriving next week. Both are non-heated with the FCA button on the cruise cluster on left side.

Bump for a 22 Chevy Trail Boss Custom update. My truck has the FCA (Forward Collision Alert) distance button on the cruise control cluster. I have the Dr. Harness ordered. I will order the Instrument Cluster this week. My question is which model steering wheel to try to locate that will allow the FCA to work?
