Always figured they were a waste of money. Won't order without it now.

i use mine a lot. it only takes about 3 minutes to get too hot to hold, so i turn it off after that.   its funny how awesome the steering wheel warmer is and how terrible the seat warmers are.

I never thought I'd need a heated steering but now that I have one I would not want to live without it! Truly awesome in Alaskan winters..

You also need to factor in whether or not your truck has collision alert/ adaptive cruise, as that might affect wiring. I also don't know if the All Terrain wheel has different stitching (red?) or not, but that's another possible variant.

 

In any case, if you say "no" to both those, the wheel above would work with you. It'd match perfectly once you swap your old trim panels over. You'd do well to shop the 'bay since a new wheel will run you at least $250-270 shipped.

 

 

Thanks for the eBay link...My truck does not have the F/R collision alert {Didn't want it} but does have cruise control. Don't most have the cruise control as standard?

 

My truck has the SLT package and was ordered on September 26th.

That is the same as listed by GMMediumDutyMQ. This has cruise right?

Look at the ad picture. Yours should be identical except for that one important heater button and the indicator light next to it.

I would like to install a heated steering on a 2014 Silverado Work truck. It currently has a stock wheel with just cruise control only. If I'm reading this topic correctly I should be able to buy a heated steering wheel and a new clock spring. Of course the controls on the right side wouldn't work but that doesn't bother me. It sounds like a fairly straight swap - Am I missing anything?

Thanks

Great news, as I have a clockspring (p/n 22989630) on order!

Any tips as to removing the airbag?

I finally got this done today. The clock spring is needed as an extension harness for the new wheel. You will have a single wire left over down on the steering column where everything plugs up. This is the wire that needs (my guess) a 12V power source. I just literally picked the truck up so I want to make sure I can apply 12V here without damaging everything. The guy who did the install is a GM tech and I barely got the install done before the end of the day. He was just doing this as an R&R install of the clock spring and steering wheel. I will check with my GM tech tomorrow and find out what the wire needs to be connected to. Everything still works on the steering wheel (except the heat button).

So was this single wire ultimately the 12v power source wire?

 

Also...is all that's needed is the new wheel and the clock spring? Looking to do this swap.

 

Thanks

There is only one extra connection, a single wire connection. I haven't connected this yet as I live in Florida right now. I will be connecting this when I go to Ohio next month. I want to use a GM connector if possible and my buddy is a GM Master tech. Will report back when complete. Any swap will require the clock spring change unfortunately as previously listed. It has that one important extra wire down the column for the heating element for the wheel.

Great! Thanks very much.

How much is everyone spending on this upgrade? If I read everything correctly, I only need the following two parts and I should be good:

 

  1. Steering wheel with heated wheel button (about $150)
  2. New clock spring that includes heated wheel wiring (about $150)

So for about $300 I could add a heated wheel? How hard is it to remove a steering wheel with an airbag in it?

 

Thanks,

Nick

Had any chance to follow up on the wiring? Just ordered my wheel.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      The 92-95 SCPI spider injectors are notoriously problematic and hard to source new replacements. I’d pull the intake manifold first to inspect cracked lines and brittle plastic legs before dropping $350 on a rebuild. The 1.5 OBD system only offers limited data, no misfire tracking, which is normal for this 1995 model. Enjoy the project!

      Yea a fluid change is in order here. Honestly, your transmission didn’t even get hot. During the summer in stop and go traffic I’ve seen my 8l80 get up to 216 and it was still shifting smoothly.

      I'd change the fluid and start there.   198F is nothing for the 8L90.  They typically operate 180-200F stock.

      Looking for help!   2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 5.3l 4x4 8l90 61k miles - truck is in Arizona, was over 110 outside on Monday when this whole situation transpired. Never had any major issues with transmission until this point:   Truck sat outside my construction office for approx 1 hour idling before I realized, ran around the job site wrapping some things up for the day and then left. Went to get food and sat in the drive through for approx 30 minutes idling. As soon as I pull out of the drive through and onto the main road, rear tires lock up and feels like transmission fell out of the truck. Shifted to park, shut the truck off and tried again, same thing happened. Was able to reverse into parking lot (truck slammed into reverse). Let the truck sit turned off for 10 minutes before trying again, but it continued to happen. Towed truck back to my house. Highest the trans temps reached was 198.   Friday, after work I start looking into the situation. Truck sat in my driveway untouched all week. Truck is now driving like normal, transmission doesn’t get over 185 degrees when trying to heat it up. Got up to 60 multiples times with no issues, no issues accelerating, only down shifted hard into first one time at 185 degrees. Does anyone have any insight? Never through a code or a check engine light. Truck has never been used to tow either. No transmission services at this point.

      Atlas won.   I know better, but I did it anyway. I took a compressed air line with a chuck and rubber tip and jammed it in the open EGR port. The port was clear as far as I could see, and as far as I could poke with a flexible wire, but that doesn't mean it's not clogged.   Compressed air blew back at me along with a cloud of black. Oops. I didn't have the rubber tip seated in there all the way. Jammed it up in there some more and squeezed the chuck. PSI was set to 120. Poof! It blew back at me again. Third time...pfffffttssssssspffffffsssfffffff, face full of carbon, and then, kind of a thud..and the air stopped spraying back at me. It was now exiting the exhaust with a low shhhhhh sound as it flowed through the pipe. Something broke free. I pressurized the port again, and air flowed.   Made my day.   Long story short on this problem, it's fixed. Something was really blocking the EGR passages down low, and compressed air blew it apart. I don't recommend this as who knows what debris was sent where. But it's allowed me to move forward, mentally, and onto the next problems I need to get this little S-Blazer going down the road properly again.
