i have a 2011 tahoe ssv. (police). it has lights and sirens installed as well as a viper remote start system by previous owner so dont know wiring details from the install. i bought the harness from @Zebrafive (thanks), a steering wheel from a junkyard escalade, and a new SIR from ebay. first problem was the empty slot that the harness  for the heat was supposed to go to already had something there. maybe something to do with the viper system or the emergency equipment. i unplugged it to experiment and plugged in the harness from zebrafive and reconnected everything. the controls all worked (volume, cruise etc) but the heating icon wouldn't light up and had a message on dash about service trailer brake. i disconnected the heating harness and plugged what ever was there originally back in but im still getting the service trailer brake message. any ideas? thanks

By harness do you mean this pigtail? If so, NO, you still need to hookup the two wires to power and ground. I am trying to source the connector for the junction block to make the harness "plug & p

No and No...as far as I am aware...checked this out back in 07 when I installed the one in my 2007 Truck.       DO you want to sell your old wheel?

Is it possible to use a steering wheel from a Buick Lucerne or Cadillac DTS as they look the same? Or are there differences in the steering shaft and wiring? Should I stick to the trucks instead (Denali, Chev LTZ, Esky, etc) when searching for a wheel?

Good write up but your step of grounding the wire with a home made harness makes no sense. You show a harness consisting of a 2 pin and just one single orange and one single black wire, you then show 2 black wires being grounded. Where did the other black wire come from? And then you hardly show where you place the hot wire and none of them are orange. I have everything I need but that home made harness. But I saw another guy selling them with another pin connector on the other end where you just have free hanging wires. What’s the difference?

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
