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

I'm sure it had nothing to do with it was only Saturday and I still have a littttttle bit of a life? LOL Yes it can be done, you may have to add hardware IE steering wheel controls. Also would need t

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

Alright thank you very much. And I was just wondering how much would it cost or if it is even possible for me to swap out my 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 base WT boring instrument cluster for an SLT instrument cluster with the nice Side ways colorful screen? Please reply asap thank you. And by the way this was what I emailed the website but I'll post it here too if I get any answers.

Every set up is a little different...Chris can correct me if I am wrong but mine was $349 to go from SLT to Denali cluster...and since it was a used cluster and not new it was another $100 because of the extra programming needed...so for mine it was $449...yours may be different, best is to get a hold of him and he can tell you.

Yours also included extra custom programming to enable the HUD. Normally new virgin cluster programming (factory configuration) is $249 used is $349 unless you want something crazy like a HUD in a sierra ;)

Yeah forgot to add that tid bit...lol...my bad. I am still having difficulties figuring out the part number for the wire harness and the switch to control the HUD. So I haven't really gotten anywhere with that part as of yet.

Wiring harness will be part of the IP harness (for a yukon) its not separate. Best bet would be to buy the plug pig tails and make your own.

I am waiting for my Denali cluster to come back from Chris and I will have a SLT cluster sitting around soon.

Hi GTPprix,

I have installed the gauge cluster and the steering wheel with controls in my truck, but the gauge cluster controls do not work that I need, you can help me from afar, because I'm from Mexico, thank you

You need to have your BCM programmed to work with the new gauge cluster. So I hear, contact Chris white for programming. You'll need to ship it to him so you won't be able to use your truck while the BCM is pulled out.

If you want the controls to work there is a thread here about that. The thread shows you how to install a heated steering wheel and the controls for the gauge cluster and radio controls. If I find it I will post it.

No BCM reprogramming required for the cluster swap, just the cluster itself requires programming.

Yup. There was a vendor out there telling people they needed BCM programming because they couldn't do what we do and that was their out LOL 100% Plug and play with our custom programming and not to toot our own horn (because this gets asked frequently) but yes we are the only place that does this (for dealers and customers all over the world :))

 

Not to mention the poor guy from mexico has a locked odometer too :(

Haha, if it gets any more complicated I am going to have to start working for GM just so I can get the inside track.

      Trading 7.3 (Godzilla) for G.M.C gas

      By James Beyer · Posted

      Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-

      Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
