Just one of many things these trucks don't have that they should. Things like blind spot monitor, push-button start, auto-leveling rear suspension (older GM stuff had it), radar cruise and HUD.

True on that! Wished they would keep that Dynamic fuel management stuff, and exchange that for giving us Auto dimming mirrors, blind spot, heated S/wheel and seats, Stuff that we rather have, and more useful things. I didn’t buy the truck for fuel economy.

I am mentioning things that aren't available at all but should be, since it is well established tech that has been available for a decade. You are mentioning items that are available but you chose not to purchase a truck optioned with those items.

Maybe, but 60-70 Damn grand for a half ton, stripped down ugly crap is bull. For that price it should come with everything.

You are over paying. My SLT is about as loaded as you can get (CC, 4WD, Sunroof, Premium Plus, Z71, 6.2L, paint option, floor liners) and I paid $44,055 out the door before tax, brand spanking new. Had I waited until now, I could have got a Denali Ultimate for about $3500 more - I just didn't know they were going to give such good Denali deals in December when I bought mine.

Well that’s great, December is the best month to buy, they’re trying their best to push them out the door. I didn’t I paid that, nor would I. Actually I was referring to the price of a loaded new one. You say you have all this stuff already. People like me use this website info & help to add some of this stuff after the fact, those of us whom didn’t buy all that.Those whom bought a lower trim level and wish to pick and choose what options we wish to add, And thanks to people in this forum, we now have them, and not paying finance charges on them for 80+ months. lol

Uh oh, I think I bought the wrong wheel. Can anyone advise on this? I got it hooked up. The heated wheel works but the right and left switches do not light up. I have a BW Dic so not sure if the right side switches work. I was too tired to test the cruise control to see if that still works; I'll check it tomorrow.

The first pic is the connector from my origional non heated, no swc wheel. The second pic is of the new wheel I purchased from Ebay, part #84222916 I used clock spring part # 23381964. I have a 2015 GMC Sierra WT SCLB.

Would it be a bad idea to move the grey wire with the orange tracer over one pin spot to the left? Would the missing wire to the cluster provide power for the lights?

I plan on installing heated steering wheel I do have the plug that has been mentioned that is sometimes hot and sometimes not I haven't tested it yet to see. But let's say that it's not hot then where does the other end go? In short the new clock spring can't be plugged into it and find the other end and pin it to the correct position? Or would it be easier to have a new 2 wire harness made by pagoda? And pin it to the excellent pics and videos made from this forum? I did try finding the info I am looking for and may have over looked it. I sorry hope I'm not beating a dead horse. Again I have the plug but if it's not hot can I make it hot or not worth the time and effort and just go with the new harness by pagoda?

If your mate plug is not hot (truck must be running), then there is a missing short run from an in between connector to the fuse panel. At that point, Better to get my harness as getting to that connector in between is a bear.

Thanks , I will do that once I get the amp boards on should be done with that tomorrow, then if it's not hot I will get the harness from you.

From experience, it's not impossible but is kinda a PITA to run that wire between the fuse block and the block underneath the steering column

Yup. Even with a complete dash take off, on the floor, that 42-pin connector is a PITA to get to. I couldn’t imagine getting to it while in the truck.

I don't want to assume so I will ask if I am buying the right heated steering wheel w/o crash alert Black PN 84353110 and clock spring PN 23381964? and also a question regarding the orange tab on the clock spring. what is it for and once you remove it , if you had to take the spring back off from some reason does is make for harder reinstallment? I know that's 2 questions.

Trying to find on forums and YouTube but haven't come across info that seem relivent to my application . I like the great video on you tube on how to install the heated steering wheel very helpful and to the point but when he hooks up the driver air bag there is only 1 plug I believe his truck is a 2015 and the clock spring 23381964 says it fits 2014-2017 but shows 2 plugs going into the air bag. So without taking my wheel off to find out if I I have 1 or 2 plugs going into my air bag did anyone else ask themselves this same question? Do you only need to hook up 1 if you only have 1 and let the other just hang there?
