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?

Sounds like a nifty mod, since we can now get a "non-wood" heated wheel.

 

I'm going to have to start checking my GM prices on these parts ASAP. :thumbs:

Has anyone successfully ordered the steering wheel (20998064) from gmpartsdirect and received the right one?

I emailed them and asked them to confirm that it was the heated version and they said that they needed a VIN from a vehicle with the heated wheel. Can anyone help me with either of these questions?

Thanks,


George

I purchased the parts and am basically done, However... I think they sent me the wrong SIR coil. I have the extra green wire for the heated wheel but the airbag plugs are different. My old SIR had blue and yellow plugs. This new one has pink and white. The part number on the new coil says 25966964. Is it possible that it's labeled wrong. Can anyone tell me what colors they have?

I have a 2013 silverado but i would love to hear from anyone who has done this as to what the colors are.

When i search ebay for this part number, the top 2 results are different (one like my current SIR and one like the new one).

I do see that the pics in this how-to have the pink and white plugs - which are different than my factory ones...

I also searched for 2012 airbags vs 2013 airbags on ebay and it looks like they changed. Can anyone help me understand if there would be any problems if i just snipped the wires and changed the connectors? (or changed the wires within the connectors?)

I ended up snipping off the connectors on the airbag wires and splicing the old ones on. I hooked up the battery and started my truck from the passenger's seat ;) - the airbag is still intact. However, the heated wheel doesn't work and the light for it doesn't turn on. The cruise control switch turns on but i guess that has a separate power so that doesn't really narrow down the problem...

I tried to verify the green connections with the wheel still in place and everything looks/feels good. I guess i will be pulling the wheel tomorrow and see if i can figure out what's going on.

Does anybody have any advice or has anyone tried this in a 2013 Silverado LT yet?

Does the heated steering wheel need to be programmed in the BCM?

Hello Fellas....

 

Ok I did a little research after reading recent post about guys doing this mod with a 2013 or newer truck.

 

I got a vin number for a 2013 2500HD deniali .. The clocking spring fits 2013 trucks with the heated wheel and updated airbag..

 

I will be installing this mod on my New/Used 2013 Chevy 2500HD LTZ in a week or so. I will follow up with pictures and part numbers.

 

I believe that it should work.

OK i did this mod..

 

I have a 2013 2500HD

 

I bought a ful harness, a clocking spring from GM for a Denili 2500HD

 

Note, Even with the correct harness, when connected to the sterring wheel did not work,

 

So i ended up cuting the harness and saving the "connecter" with some leads left. I extended the cut leads and attached one to ground and the other to a switched on source in the BCM.

 

Light for the heated wheel comes on.. but I do not feel my wheel getting hot.... so I'll have to investage it more tomorrow...

Just catching up on here .. update is the heated steering wheel is installed.

 

2013 2500HD crew cab short bed LTZ

I used a Denali 2500HD clocking spring... I also bought the complete wiring harness that runs to the BCM (don't waste your money buyinh the wiring harness)

 

Clocking spring and Steering wheel.. then run two wires, one to chassis ground and the other to the BCM. I found a terminal that had power when key on only.

 

any questions message me...

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
