Heated steering wheel

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

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 This part # has been superseded by Part # 84353110. If you look up 84222909 on GMPartsGiant.com, it shows it too, has been replaced by 84353110.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.
