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..

You also need to factor in whether or not your truck has collision alert/ adaptive cruise, as that might affect wiring. I also don't know if the All Terrain wheel has different stitching (red?) or not, but that's another possible variant.

 

In any case, if you say "no" to both those, the wheel above would work with you. It'd match perfectly once you swap your old trim panels over. You'd do well to shop the 'bay since a new wheel will run you at least $250-270 shipped.

 

 

Thanks for the eBay link...My truck does not have the F/R collision alert {Didn't want it} but does have cruise control. Don't most have the cruise control as standard?

 

My truck has the SLT package and was ordered on September 26th.

That is the same as listed by GMMediumDutyMQ. This has cruise right?

Look at the ad picture. Yours should be identical except for that one important heater button and the indicator light next to it.

I would like to install a heated steering on a 2014 Silverado Work truck. It currently has a stock wheel with just cruise control only. If I'm reading this topic correctly I should be able to buy a heated steering wheel and a new clock spring. Of course the controls on the right side wouldn't work but that doesn't bother me. It sounds like a fairly straight swap - Am I missing anything?

Thanks

Great news, as I have a clockspring (p/n 22989630) on order!

Any tips as to removing the airbag?

I finally got this done today. The clock spring is needed as an extension harness for the new wheel. You will have a single wire left over down on the steering column where everything plugs up. This is the wire that needs (my guess) a 12V power source. I just literally picked the truck up so I want to make sure I can apply 12V here without damaging everything. The guy who did the install is a GM tech and I barely got the install done before the end of the day. He was just doing this as an R&R install of the clock spring and steering wheel. I will check with my GM tech tomorrow and find out what the wire needs to be connected to. Everything still works on the steering wheel (except the heat button).

So was this single wire ultimately the 12v power source wire?

 

Also...is all that's needed is the new wheel and the clock spring? Looking to do this swap.

 

Thanks

There is only one extra connection, a single wire connection. I haven't connected this yet as I live in Florida right now. I will be connecting this when I go to Ohio next month. I want to use a GM connector if possible and my buddy is a GM Master tech. Will report back when complete. Any swap will require the clock spring change unfortunately as previously listed. It has that one important extra wire down the column for the heating element for the wheel.

How much is everyone spending on this upgrade? If I read everything correctly, I only need the following two parts and I should be good:

 

  1. Steering wheel with heated wheel button (about $150)
  2. New clock spring that includes heated wheel wiring (about $150)

So for about $300 I could add a heated wheel? How hard is it to remove a steering wheel with an airbag in it?

 

Thanks,

Nick

Had any chance to follow up on the wiring? Just ordered my wheel.

      Breaking News!    I'm going to tell you that I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I told  you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm about to tell you on the other side of the break.  Then we're going to break. Then I'm not going to tell you what I told you I was going to tell you.  But I'll tell you something else that is Breaking News just coming to the desk that everyone reported on yesterday.  Then I'll tease a human interest telling I'll get to on the other side of a larger break. Then I'll tell you one item in 20 seconds and go back to an even longer break. Longest break of the night.  Then I'll tell you a fluff piece that takes 10 seconds and sign off into a three minute break while you wait for the next 30 minutes of rinse and repeat on the local news.    In al you'll get about 12 minutes of something, 5 minutes of which is worth hearing in a 30 minute show and 18 minutes of advertising at a sound level twice as loud as the news.    Of course you can switch to cable news and hear 12 different people tell the same four stories in much the same format as the Network News for 20 hours of which the majority will be advertising.  And four hours of late night Specials about things you wonder why you stayed up to listen to. Half of which will be repeats.....   OR you can go for a drive

      Audio Dampening and quiet

      By Afennell19 · Posted

      Did you ever figure this out? My 2022 Trail Boss, and now my 2026 LT did this from time to time.  I believe it was more connected to Android Auto and my phone being the cause. Maybe try going for a drive, sans cell phone.... and see if it happens?

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By Afennell19 · Posted

      I have a 2026 Silverado LT, the non bose as well.  Upgrading the door speakers is pretty straightforward. You could honestly go to walmart, or Auto Zone/ O Reilly and get a set of 6x9s for the front, and 6.5s for the rear. You do also have to get some adapters for each, but they are like $10 a pair on Amazon. Then some plug and play harnesses that are about $10 a pair on Amazon as well.  And I would also suggest a 10 pack of the Amazon Basics sound deadening. Slap that all around the speakers and on the open metal of the inside of the door. And your golden.   I am currently doing this with my Silverado. Although I am having a bit of trouble because I am snooby I guess and bought some Alpine S2 S69c's which are 2 way components and I am having to wire from the door up to the dash....  Having never installed speakers before, its taking me just a bit to get everything correct. But if you dont buy expensive component speakers, and just some $40-$50 door speakers. You will DRASTICALLY improve the sound over these stock paper cone junk speakers. I thought my Silverado had an issue with the radio/ sound for a while.  Come to find out.  The stock speakers are just THAT SH*TTY   I cannot wait to have some decent sound in the truck   What did you end up doing?

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By newdude · Posted

      Its all automatic based on yaw sensor data.  If enough incline is detected, it engages.   My recommendation though would be to disengage it before driving off and not let it auto disengage by touching the gas pedal.  The HD trucks use the same setup as prior years, the drum in hat park brake.  But now with an electric actuator.  If you drive off repeatedly over time, it can torque the park brake shoes and can also prematurely wear them out.           Electric console shift will set the park brake on flat ground too.  Pretty sure they've got it programmed to activate every time.
