Dual Zone Climate Control In 2010?

[a42887]

So, I have a rental car (again) while my 2010 Sierra is in the shop (again). My question is, I have a 2010 Impala, and it has Dual Zone Climate Controls, and they would definitely fit in the opening for my truck. My question is, is there any additional hardware involved in this besides possibly just swapping the controls, or could I add Dual Zone as simply as that? If it's not that simple, has anyone tried and what parts were needed? I've tried searching, and haven't found anything. Thanks!

Theres all kinds of additional work/parts needed to get that to work; sensors, computer and a handful of other mechanical things.

Has anyone tried doing this on a GMT900? If so, what did it take?

Whats wrong with your Sierra ?

First, my right rear drum blew up at 800 miles (I don't know what the end issue ever was, but it drained the fluid from my system within 30 seconds of me hearing a loud think to the point the SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM message came up. Fluid everywhere, no brakes, on a mountainside Forest Service road. Fun, let me tell you. Had to drive it out with no brakes to the nearest road. Now, I'm having that issue some guys with older trucks get with false ABS activation at low speeds, causing a loss of brake pressure, which after about the 8th time happening (and the dealer not believeing me), I rear-ended someone in a parking lot at slow speeds. Still at the shop as we speak. They've had a technician experience the problem (after four days of having it), but can't get it to repeat reliably enough to diagnose. Only 2200 miles.

So back to the topic at hand? Has Anyone Tried this yet??

sounds typical of the dealer, ive heard that aswell from them. its even better when you have an issue and they can see it but dont kow what causes it and cant fix it.

I was interested in this too but after researching it, it doesn't seem like a feasible project. The vent/floor controls don't correspond to the same things, there's temperature sensors that need to be installed, etc etc etc. If I'm wrong though, someone let me know 'cause I think it'd be sweet

everything is different on the dual zone, the controller doesn't make it dual.

 

there are 2 blower motors, a belnd door system to move/block the air to either side, the ducting is different, the sensors are different, the wiring is different..

 

 

for all the pieces required it would cost about $4000 or more plus labor.. the whole dash has to be torn out and the dash/BCM harness changed etc..

Not to mention trying to talk a dealer into programming it without support from GM. Probably not gonna happen.

Thats all pretty much true,except there are not 2 blower motors.

well I was going off my experience with Dodge products, where-in the WK and LX lines do have 2 separate blowers.. I haven't really dived into the Avalanche yet to see what makes it tick..

 

 

we did a single zone to dual zone conversion on a Dodge Magnum 3 years ago, and yeah it was about $6000 in parts and 20 plus hours in labor..

Gee,The cars not worth $6000 and 20 plus hours in labor is it?

yeah, well 3 years ago it was.. not today.. and yes over 2 days to install it all, have to rip out the dash, center console, seats, etc. all new ducting, different wiring, different motors, bunch of different parts for the blend doors and such..

 

then the several hours of re-programming the FCM (front control module, that holds the vehicle config files for Dodge cars) and no it wasn't done at a dealer, I own all the Chrysler diagnostic tools and Engineering programming tools..

 

 

an no it wasn't my car, just a customer that wanted to convert a Dodge Magnum into a Euro Chrysler 300 Estate Wagon (right hand drive).. it was a show car..
