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 Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      That's good to know, but I don't think I'll even be running them under 45 in the rear  unless it's on the sand or something but will only be for a short distance anyways!    I didn't read all the instructions in the booklet yet, but do you know let's say I set the rear psi on the placard to 45, will the warning light come on soon as it drops under 45 or is there a percentage it has to drop from the set value before the warning light is triggered?

      Would this CV Shaft be bad?

      By newdude · Posted

      That's bad.  Like, its probably destroying the stub axle the CV slides into.   Do you have a proper lift installed with differential lowering brackets?  Did you install AT4/Trail Boss factory CV axles?

      Hot? New Jersey? Today? I was working on my old 2000 Silverado 1500 today. Believe me, it was boiling hot today. As it has been.
