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..

Well, I got it done.  I now have a heated wheel!  It took a couple hours though.  One tip for anyone still working on this, raise the front so the tires are just off the ground.  Makes turning the wheel for airbag removal much easier.

Great tip! When I did mine, I said “how the heck do you turn the wheel if the battery is disconnected”. Lol. Reminded me of the non-Power steering days.

Thank you to everyone who have contributed in this thread! All of the info really helped with the project. I'd like to mention my successful install.

 

2015 Silverado Z71 LT. I have power foot pedals. I was lucky and had the female connector port already under the console and it was hot. Everything was plug and play for me. Heated steering wheel, lights and all functions work! 

 

Part numbers:

clock spring: 23381964

steering wheel: 84222909

 

I had some trouble fishing the clock spring wires out, so please be patient. It also made it easier that I have snap ring pliers as well.

 

Since your battery is disconnected, please note that you will need to put some muscle in when cranking the steering wheel to each side. I just took my e-brake off and allowed the truck to roll a little (I was parked on a slope) when turning the wheels. 

 

Overall, the job was a lot harder than I anticipated but still only look about 1.5 hours.

Right?  That clockspring plug up around the dash was a pita to get to.

I tied a string to the old one before I pulled it out.  Tied the string to the new one and pulled it back through.  Still took a bit of wiggling to get it into place, that made it easier.

Thanks.  Just updating for others -- the part number above is for the Black wheel.

For Cocoa with heat (but no collision) the part number is 84053918.

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.

@pgamboa were you ever able to work on building some harnesses?  Got down to below zero again here.....I'm ready for some heat on my fingertips :)

Quick question on parts:

 

I placed an order last night for a heated steering wheel (part #84222909) and associated clock spring (23381964) on cheapestgmparts.com (first time ever using that site). Got an email response back today informing me those parts are not correct for my VIN # (I assume my VIN shows that I don't currently have heated steering). Those are the parts I want though, correct, and they will work? 


The website is suggesting part #'s 23278606 / 23381963, which are the components with no heat (which I assume is what I currently have in the truck).

 

On a side note, why is the clock spring with heat ($48.81) so much cheaper than the clock spring without it ($100.02)? 

 

Thanks

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Yes that's right, it's the upgrade that includes the overload spring and all that stuff.   Someday when I'm empty and going by a scale I'm going to stop in and get some weight readings.   Exactly  you should have the ability to change individual settings, in in Canada so I'm driving with kph but then I'm stuck with kpa when I want psi lol

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      You must have that upgraded gvw package which is only available or at least was in 2025 with the diesel engine for the 3/4 ton and that gave the truck physically the larger 12.0 ring gear rear diff and the 3500 rear spring pack. There is a difference in what the diff housing looks like externally as one tell tale and also your truck should have the upper overload spring pack and the frame pads that the pack goes up against.    The pressure the tpms system kicks the alarm in on a stock setting truck, that is a good question and was just from what I recall but I doubt I made any notes on it as I knew for the rear that it was not at all what I was after regardless either. Being that you have a diesel and if running on stock tires the minimum pressure on an empty truck seems to be around 50 psi from hearing of those that have weighted the front axle but the rear axle is very similar in weight to a gas truck and again a near empty truck on the rear could go down to 35 pounds at minimum. However the weigh scale is the proper way to know for sure as a guide.    As to changing the readings on the dash from metric to the US measuring system, oh yes that is done easily but what I was attempting to explain was that I can't pick and choose items I want to have in US and those I still want in the metric system at the same time as its either all or none. For example lets say you drove into Canada and switched your dash over to metric so your speedometer read in km an hour, well then your reading kilopascals on your tpms readout and your wife looks over and says what the hell is that saying in the tpms screen and you say "darned if I know, I think its Chinese" !

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      This is partly why I decided to have switched over to Amsoil SS as a way of hopefully preventing the buildup of the sludge/carbon on the pistons and clogging of the oil control rings and the carbon that would cause the compression rings to stick in their grooves as well as stay cleaner up top of the heads in the valve train in the first place, an oil that has tested better by third party testing over typical shelf oil and also doing my best to run relatively short OCI. However in saying that I don't think there is any way to easily prove the oil I was using prior allowed for a buildup at the OCI I was doing, nor in the other direction to make claims the Amsoil is keeping everything clean either. There really isn't a window into the engine is there to know anything for certain even if oil samples were taken for example that showed still healthy oil being dropped out of the oil pan other than engine tear downs that extensive and expensive testing of oils does to actually visually see what is really going on inside the engine. I wish there was some easy method of seeing what is going on but I don't happen to be aware of that if there is.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.
