Looking to add them to my truck.

 

I've got a 14 crew cab Wt 4x4 Just got it 2 weeks ago..It doesn't have steering wheel controls and I miss my old ones and I'll be installing a different head unit and a couple component set and amps this days off and was wondering how the process was on putting the controls in? If anyone has instruction that would be really helpful..

 

 

 

I've found the part numbers for installing the buttons on the steering wheel for like 75 bucks on eBay.

Connecting steering wheels controls is pretty simple nowadays

Does it just consist of just taking off the airbag and connecting it?

Normally, the HU manufacturer will sell a module to connect to the wiring harness behind the head unit.

No I know how to hook up the module. I'm talking about the buttons on the steering wheel. My truck does not have them and I'd like to add them.

Might be tricky if the wiring isn't there going to the wheel. Don't know if your stock head unit is even capable of it. Some research is need on the wiring that you have. May need a new wheel too. Need more info on your current setup.

If you have the WT truck. I don't think you have the harness ready to add just the button..

Not running a stock head unit.

I'm running a pioneer out of my last truck.

I bout the pac install kit that came with the swc for the steering controls. Back to the original question has any one added one? I may just pull the bag and check for my self.

I also have a 06 Silverado LT3 with Bose, steering wheel controls, and onstar. I recently was able to integrate a DDin Pyle PLDNV695 (which, despite the negative reviews, has been an good deck for the cheap price (130$)) with the rest of the stock Bose system. Deck has GPS, Bluetooth, DVD, SD and USB inputs, and more. Everything works fine, minus the few bugs everyone has been complaining about, which can easily be resolved through settings. I was also forced to add a sub due to Bose's crappy low end quality. I did all this without having to buy all the pricey harness adapters.

 

There are a few issues I have ran into if anyone can help.

 

1. Does anyone have the wiring diagram or know which wires are used for steering wheel controls?

 

2. I have read hundreds of forums on this subject and during all my research I have discovered that the stock Bose speakers are 2ohm while the deck pushes 4ohm. I have read the negatives on running them anyway, but it seems to sound way better than the ome deck and haven't received any complications so far (one month in).

 

Please share some info.

 

If anyone needs info on my end about bypassing the Bose amp or wiring aftermarket deck without using harness adapters I'd be happy to help.

I have the same truck, I use my tablet as my head unit, connected via Bluetooth to the truck. Then I order this Satechi® Bluetooth Button Series (Media Button) for iPhone 6 Plus/6... http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RM75NL0/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_vpHxvb126JYDC and connect it to the tablet. 3m tape to the spot on the steering wheel where the controls should be and done, steering wheel controls.

steering control schematic

Thanks for the schematic Ravageur1972.

 

I've been trying to figure out how to add audio controls to my 2014 WT. Do you have a WT? Were you able to add them?

 

Thanks,

James

yes my truck is a WT but yes if i want i can add it , with some work to do

.you will need a new steering with all control on it . or buy every buttons. module , trims , etc etc to rebuild your steering

then you need to know if you have every harness from clock spring to block fuse and instrument cluster (for communication between modules)

then you need to know someone to reprogram every modules that need to be reprogram.

you may also need a new instrument cluster but not sure for this one. (need to check)

installation isn't hard

 

i saw some steering on ebay for 200$ about

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
