Here is a How-To Video on this.  Tinkering Fox did really well with this how-to.

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..

Awesome, straight forward video!!  He made it look so easy though. Lol. That clockspring plug for the airbag was a PITA to run for me.

Great video!  Thanks guys for producing that.

 

Can anyone provide a video or some screen shots of how to run the wire from the fuse block if you have the connector under the dash but it's dead?

Will be working on a Pigtail harness for this run. I may have two versions.

 

Version 1 - If you already have the 2-Pin mate but it’s not landed into the X201 connector and X51L Fuse, it’ll be a single wire with terminals on each end.

 

Version 2 - If you do not have the 2-Pin mate at all (down in the steering column) then a 2-Pin Connector (to mate up with the clock spring end) and turns to the X51L Fuse Block.

That's awesome. I'd be interested when you start doing this.  Like I've said, I have the 2-pin connector under the dash, but it's dead.

This feature is awesome, whatever it takes, put it in. 

 

And for those that say it's "too hot".... you know you can hit a button, literally next to your thumb, to turn it off.

So my parts arrived today.  Looking at the clock spring, it has 2 connectors for the air bag.  The video above posted by bkesting, only shows 1 air bag connector.  I haven't gotten mine apart yet, but that seem odd that some would single and others would have 2 connectors.  Any insight to why there would be more that 1 style would be appreciated.

That is odd. I looked at all of my photos of mine and I have 2 connectors.

It may be the difference between a 1/2 ton and an HD.

I watched you video again and you did specify the HD part #. :). That must be it.

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Glad that worked, and in this case that is all on Autel for somehow dropping the ball for not updating the GMC section properly.    I believe in the basic section or unless it is in the advanced, when one does a check of lets say individual sensors for what the pressure is ( and it shows a temperature as well ) , I think it picks up on what the model number of the sensor is in a certain section where you choose "OE" sensor or at least mine is telling me what the model number is and matches to what they actually are and that is the number I quoted in a prior post.    I don't recall now if I had said prior that I discovered with my truck anyway that no matter how low I set the placard pressure for the rear tires, if the physical pressure is under 35 psi and I drive it for about 15 miles the pressure warning will come on for one or both rear tires. I am speculating that there is something else in the trucks system that over rides the placard pressure setting once it drops below that minimum pressure to run a metric LT tire at. The weird thing is it does not trigger right away after driving a shorter distance, it took that longer drive for it to trigger. Just something to keep in mind if you were experimenting with pressures below 35 pounds for a tire designed for lower pressures ( larger than stock floatation series tires ) and not being overloaded of course.

      I've seen a scant few YT vids on them, but it's always in a performance application.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      No clue. Service advisor said he'd call me this morning, which I'm 99% sure won't happen. They had the truck 5 days, and I didn't hear a peep. Finally had to call them yesterday. I guess they'd be content to just let the truck sit in perpetuity.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      I had a little bit of time before I left for work this morning, so I plugged the scanner back in, and I selected Chevrolet Silverado instead of GMC Sierra, and the very first option was for a 2026 so I selected that one and I seen at the bottom it had the option for psi change unlike in the 2026 GMC Sierra, I selected that option and it took a little longer than the usual vehicle not supported, and sure enough I got into it, and it let my change the psi values.. I no longer have the low psi warning light!   Thank you for recommending me to try it under Chevrolet instead! I can confirm this device does work for a 2026 GMC Sierra 2500 hd 6.6 diesel  just have to select Chevrolet Silverado instead of GMC Sierra.   Maybe I'll contact Autel and let them know of that issue and maybe they will fix it for the GMC option  because some people probably return the scanner due to it not working under GMC Sierra.
