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.

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..

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.

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?

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sad thing is that this doesn't have to be the case. LSPI can be solved without a reduction in TBN. Swap Ca for Mg.  Cats are not a issue if the OEM can get a ring and valve guide seal even at SN levels of SAPS. Dizzy is purring like a kitten with a bowl of warm milk. 200K of Full SAPS oil and zero detonation issues and nice a clean inside and out. This shouldn't be an issue. It isn't 1920.    Tell ya what AMSOIL SS is excellent at, internal cleanliness. The new formula is even a step up from their already outstanding cleanliness levels. Can't say the OEM offering is quite that clean. There marketing suggest the SS is cleaner.     That is the only defense with at shelf oil. Nothing wrong with them if you ignore the marketing and OEM 'recommended' OCI and use a thimble full of common sense. 😉 You go sir.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By StingerZ16 · Posted

      I started with a folding cover by BAK PAC on my 2500. It went bad after close to 5 years. Bent and vinyl coming loose. Contacted BAK and they gave me a very good discount on a Revolver. Had it a number of years. Mostly outdoor storage. Some garage storage. Vinyl started to come loose. Still under warranty so they replaced to cover. Sold the 2500, bought the 1500 and got another revolver for it. Had it a couple years now and no issues. I store it indoors. Got a bit of discount when buying it as well. If you are seeing problems, contact BAK or real truck and let them know. Customer service was pretty good. But I think they changed their warranty.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I agree, there is no one answer fits all as every rig is different, one may be pulling some little aluminum fishing boat while another is towing a monstrosity that weighs a lot and hopefully the owner if the rig has some prior experience to know what drive mode they should choose.    It also struck me and this is from watching a few of those boat ramp escapades videos in the past, Ford being one of the vehicles that has the auto front axle hubs and sure enough its found out that one hub has crapped out and won't engage and may not have manual hubs to even select on both sides so they are on the boat ramp stuck with no four wheel drive and spinning .... they flat out need a tow to get up the ramp and deal with the vehicles new found issues. That can happen to all brands of pickup, finding out either four wheel drive or 4 low isn't working right at the time its needed it to work as some electronic crap has failed.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      Its possible you never had the joy of the crappy boat launches we tend to have around here or really some of them are just grades down to the river if its a river scenario and the conditions change all the time with the river levels and silt deposits. Some of the lakes we went to years ago, there was no such thing as a cement pad that went down into the water that the trailer stayed on, it was gravel maybe up to the water line and then duck crap much beyond that so sinking the boat tires into mud. Of course some of the more established lakes had a cement bar type boat ramp but sometimes it was covered in green slime closer and certainly within the water and a two wheel drive had all sorts of fun if one had to touch that slime with the rear tires.    A neighbor of mine had made a comment years back with his chev truck that was probably about the same year as yours but a half ton extended cab 4x4 and he a a fiberglass boat with an inboard so it wasn't a feather weight and he had gone out to one of the large popular lakes in the area and don't ask me how this happened but he was in two wheel drive as he figured he didn't require four wheel drive for that boat ramp and somehow upon pulling the boat out he twisted one of his drive axles. I suspect it must have spun and then grabbed on the cement ramp and shocked it to the degree of twisting it. He would have had the standard 8.5 or whatever it was axle housing as the 9.5 ring gear like my truck has also has larger drive axles as far as I know. Anyway he was feeling a vibration driving home and had it checked out and a shop found that the tire/hub was wobbling because of the axle had twisted so in went a new drive axle. After that bad experience he said he made sure to put it into four wheel drive to lower the stress on the rear axle. Of course that is where an HD truck can handle a lot more stress and no doubt these newer half tons with their larger ring gears probably have larger drive axles as well to match vs back in the day.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Desirable - as in does someone WANT one, aspire to have one. Could reasonably buy any car they want and CHOOSE these instead.    I didn't watch the video, why did they win?
