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

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 :(

 

Thanks for squaring that up, I was misinformed, sorry for the bad information. Chris, so if I purchased a new cluster from ebay like this one I can mail it to you and you can re-program it for my truck? What information do you need from me? Currently I have a monochrome gauge cluster and would like a new one like the link above.

Okay, let's do it.

The part # for that cluster is 23448517

Are the clusters for all of 2015 the same expect for the 2500. I'm considering buying a cluster from a September 2015 build and my truck is a December 2014 build. Both 1500 2015 trucks. I know there is a 2015.5 but is that just on the 2015 2500s.

This tied with the steering wheel controls is well worth the upgrade. I assure you.

Awesome to hear that. I already have the new steering wheel with controls/heat. I figured, if I'm changing the steering I might as well swap out the boring monochrome cluster.

Hey Chris, I'm about to order the gauge cluster. Should I have it shipped directly to you?

Hey bud, did you buy any of the wire terminals for the plugs? If so, where did you buy them?

      Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra.

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.
