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.

      VSE CCV Bypass - Anyone have this installed in their L5P?

      By AbzDad · Posted

      I have the VSE CCV kit. It is a quality product. Fairly easy installation. I vent it back into the turbo intake horn, like stock. I check the reservoir monthly. I have seen oily water come out. So far, after 6 months I would say it has collected about 8-10 ounces of crap.

      I'm getting out in public more these days and rely on a walker for anything more than short distances.  I am impressed with how kind others are in their efforts to assist when they see me doing the old man walker shuffle!  I find teenagers hanging out at the mall are often the first to get ahead of me to open a door or to offer me the opportunity to get in front of them in a lineup!  I am very fortunate that this is temporary for me and I have a developed a huge appreciation for those seniors struggling to maintain some mobility. Walkers, canes or scooters will assist with mobility but they don't eliminate the challenges.  Chances are the individual using these devices are hurting.  A few kind words of recognition from a stranger can take away the discomfort for a few moments.  I am looking forward to paying forward all of the kindness I have received!

      6 Speed vs 8 Speed

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Curious @newdude, how does this change when a 6L80 is either fitted with a billet converter OR is behind a V6 whose converter isn't a pile of junk? Oh, and are you saying in the above the 4-5-6 clutch's burning up is the result of the converter/pump induced failure or they are just fragile? Thanks in advance for any feedback you may be willing to give.

      2021 with Intermittent AC Cooling Issues

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      5.3 Sierra with approximately 80,000 miles had a radiator replacement about 6 months ago which required pulling the AC condenser and a vacuum and recharge on the system.  AC cooled fine until about a month ago, when it would suddenly start blowing lukewarm air for 5 minutes at a time at various points throughout the day, then suddenly resume cooling again.  Sometimes its when stopped at an intersection and other times while moving.  I've read about the internal electronics in the compressor going bad on these trucks and not cycling properly, but sounds like many dealers just chase AC issues with a parts cannon.  Also wondering if they charged it correctly when the radiator was replaced.   Is there an easy way to see if these electronically driven compressors are engaging properly, or to check for freeze up, etc.?  Dealer usually wont do much unless they can replicate or I can show them a video of what's going on.

      Shift to Park Message Warranty Claim

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      Apparently it doesn't trigger a fault, at least according to my dealer, but in one month its gone from once or twice a week to several times a day, so you can catch it on video and its likely to be seen by the dealer.  I've heard some have replaced only the switch, yet others have required full shifter assembly replacement to the tune of $900+?
