I have the basic gauges in my 2014 Silverado (RCSB). Is it possible for me to swap clusters? I know sometimes plug-and-play connections exist for options the particular truck doesn't have.

I think your best bet is to take it to a dealer. They can convert your truck into a LTZ magically.

Hopefully one of the guys on here who works in a shop can get you a better answer, but I wouldn't count on anything being plug and play in these trucks. Saw a forum earlier hosted by GTPprix who said

The smart guys aren't allowed breaks!

 

I'm looking at getting the 8" screen as well.

 

How would I acquire the steering wheel controls?

I bought a new high resolution cluster and installed it in my '14 Silverado 2WT. Gauges all work but the DIC does not since no steering wheel controls and no BCM program. So I converted my WT cluster by swapping in the chrome rings and replacing the gauge faces with 2016 blue tic faces.

That looks great. I'm considering making a swap in my 2015 Silverado 2500 Duramax. It's a WT and I would like to add the cluster from an LTD to have the side ways LCD screen. Someone at my chevy dealer said if I add the Steering wheel controls, that it will work perfectly fine. However a shop online said " I can't program your vin" when I provided them with it. When I told the dealer that, he said not to worry and that he could. Has this swap been done? Thank you

Dealers cant do anything with clusters other than OEM programming for the exact cluster your truck shipped with for your exact vin. We do all of the conversion cluster programming for dealers, aftermarket etc. We can make it work properly, drop us a line and we'll get you taken care of.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!

      I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID.    In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want.   GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time.    A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.
