I'd never had heated seats until the 2008 Rav4 we had some years ago.  I thought, pssh, that's silly and just more crap to go wrong.  Tell ya what, when the first winter hit after getting the car and it was -17 out, I popped those seats on and thought "heeeeeyyy...this is niiiice."

 

Then later we got the 2014 Grand Cherokee which had heated seats and heated steering wheel, and I thought "Pssshh...heated seats, great, but steering wheel, meh.."   Then the winter came and after clearing snow off it and climbing in with frozen hands, I grabbed that warm wheel and thought "heeeey...this is niiiice."

 

I made damn sure my new Silverado had the heated steering wheel and the heated AND cooled seats.  Turned on that seat cooling and heeeey...it's niiice!

I’ve honestly found the more of a man you are the nicer the heated steering wheel is.

 

man shit in cold weather = freezing cold hands. where as the ladies just go from the house to the car

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..

Lol, ain't it the truth.  I've found too that as I get older I covet things like those heated seats, steering wheel, and the other comfort doo-dads more than the lift and big tires :-) 

 

When I first started looking to get my Silverado, I went right to a Rocky Ridge, but my brain kept screaming things like "Remember how fun it was to load and unload the lifted Ram, when the tailgate was nearly up to your chin?"

Just wanted to give a big thanks to P.gamboa, and tinker fox for the videos on this upgrade of the heated wheel install.

And a huge thanks to p.gamboa for all his help with Harness’s for these upgrades on my truck (16 CCSB LT), such as the DL3 mirrors, Auto dimming mirrors, and of course this Heated Steering wheel. Thanks to this forum & it’s info, I can now enjoy my truck a lot better, thanks folks.

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

So, the bottom line is that they’ll be two connectors for the airbag  on a 1500 Silverado instead of only one on a 2500? Will there be two plugs and wires under the dash as well? 

 

 

And sorry to ask, but I just want to confirm. Are these the correct part numbers?  Steering Wheel - GM (84222909)

                            Clock spring  Part Number:23381964

I can confirm the clock spring is what I bought. For the wheel, what I bought was 23278626. This part # has been superseded by Part # 84353110. If you look up 84222909 on GMPartsGiant.com, it shows it too, has been replaced by 84353110. You should be good to go with those part #s.

Thanks Phil once again. Is there any change that would significantly deviate from Tinkering Fox’s video being that the 1500 have an extra plug?

Everything else is the same. I actually used his video when I did my dash swap and needed a refresher to remove the airbag.

Not to correct Phil (he knows a lot!) but just reminding you there are different numbers for the black vs. dune steering wheels.  I think Phil's numbers are for the black one.

Ah yes. Of course. Dune :). And correct away. LOL. :). I don’t know everything. [emoji13]. I spend a lot of time scouring the web, forum threads/posts, inter webs, eBay... to gather as much info on part #s. Sometimes more time than I need to. Lol

Thanks for the information. Does anyone know what the torque specs are for the steering wheel nut?

@pgamboa On a side note, went to my dealer to look at a seat lever issues, and the tech did a double take on my DL3 mirrors. Looked for second, and moved on. lol. pgamboa has confused DePaula Chevrolet tech.  Lol.

      Ac not keeping up

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.

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

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
