Trying to locate a clock spring, the number posted on this thread doesn't seem to match my truck. 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 SLE the part #I come up with is 23193462 ; 22989630 anyone else able to confirm this?

Cheers

I went looking as well and it seems like that is the part # (23193462). It does show unavailable. Maybe it has been superseded by a different part #? The part # for me was 23381964. W/Heated, WO/Crash Alert. Doing a search with 23381964 also comes up as "parts no longer available".

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..

2016 - 1500 CCSB, LT, 5.3L.

 

Steering Wheel Part # 23278626

Clockspring Part # 23381964

 

I steering wheel I found on ebay. I made sure it was Black, Heated, Leather, Without Crash Alert.

 

It has all the steering wheel controls for the radio, and cruise controls. The part # seems to show "no longer available" for online sources. The part # was probably superseded by a different part #. If you find a wheel with a button above the heat button, that's the crash alert button that is not available on LT models.

 

The clockspring, I got from cheapestgmparts for $48 + shipping.

 

For me, it was all Plug and Play.

 

Hope this helps.

Do you think it was worth the money and effort for this? I know you said yours just got a little warm and not hot.

Enjoying this mod now that it's cold here. If only it came on during remote start. :)

Mine is installed and functional now, for the record not all will be plug and play. Depends on trim/option package. I had to wire mine into the fuse panel.

I think mine is going to be like yours, I try to ding the plug pgamboa was talking about with no luck.[emoji17] did you still purchase the clock spring and the million dollar question, where did you wired into?

1dfddf5d76f5fb32f76dcf9dc2b97683.jpgThis is the extra 2 pin connector that was different in my clock spring. I'm guessing this is the Power circuit for the heat. The receiving end was wrapped in another harness bundle underneath (between the BCM and pedals) with the female connector sticking out of it. It was just the right length to reach the mate. Hope this helps.

I've found that I can turn the two top dash vents towards the steering wheel and heat mine up that way. lol

 

although, this is a cool mod that i wouldn't mind having.

2014 SLE had heated seats, I just cut connector off clock spring and installed a more generic connector. Wired to body ground and use a fuse tap into the heated wheel 7.5A fuse. Definitely did not have a connection in the existing harness, that requires the telescopic steering and power adjustable pedals.

Makes sense. I do have telescoping pedals and wheel. I was lucky then.

So that plug and wiring was at the steering column or you had to go dig it out from down under the pedals?

It was already there. Like my optioned truck maybe had the ability to add a heated steering wheel. When I installed the new clock spring, I noticed the extra wire loom that needed to go somewhere. Figured it had to go down into the steering column area behind the pedals. When I ran out of slack, I came across the male end of the similar connector that was peeking out of a larger harness. That's where I connected it thinking "it has to go there".

      BAK MX4 EZ-Lift Install and Review

      By parthery · Posted

      I've been eyeing an upgrade to my tonneau cover for a bit now.  Intrigued by the BAK MX4 EZ-Lift with the torsion spring and went for the upgrade.  Thoughts and musings during unpacking, install and a few days of usage.   Once my order went into Realtruck, it took about 4 days to ship.  Unfortunately, FedEx Ground destroyed the box and contents and it was unusable upon receipt.  To Realtruck's credit, one email with pictures and an RMA was sent to me to send the first one back, and another unit was shipped out.  It arrived 3 days later, unscathed.   I opened the box and it looked like every other BAK MX4.   Biggest differences are the rails and retaining clamps, and of course the spring attached to the cover itself.   [img]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55462229387_5c9bbe5416_b.jpg[/img]   NOTE - if you are upgrading from a MX4 to the EZ-Lift, you will have to replace the rails.  The EZ-Lift rails have a notch cut in them to allow the new style retaining clamps to fit properly.  The new retaining clamps also have 2 knobs/carriage bolts and there are two tracks underneath the front panel. The strap clips are mildly different (more like the Undercover Flex clamps) in that the screws go in from the underside.  Personally I prefer these over the BAK clamps that use the nutserts that are a nuisance to install.  The remainder of the parts in the box (drain tubes, rail clamps, and bumper pads) are standard issue BAK.   [img]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55463207451_16a229e2f8_b.jpg[/img]   I did not replace my front bed seal at the time because it seemed to be in decent shape.   BAK recommends shims on the GM trucks unless you place the clamps on the flanges about 1/3 of the way in from both the front and rear of the bed.  I shimmed the front and the middle, and initially placed the clamps equidistant.  This also turned out to be a mistake, because when I set the cover in place, the new style retaining clamps wouldn't clear the front clamp.   New style clamp inserted in the track:   [img]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55463598785_88e6de0164_b.jpg[/img]   And the issue which occurred because the front rail clamp was too far forward:   [img]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55463206526_7d19819403_b.jpg[/img]   Once I removed the shim from the front of the bed, and slid the clamp back to the front flange, everything cleared fine.   [img]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55463377309_a18f23d493_b.jpg[/img]   The cover set on the rails without issue and I installed the strap clamps.  After I completed my adjustments, I pulled the pin to activate the torsion spring.  Mistake #3 on my part.  PULL THE PIN AS THE VERY VERY VERY LAST STEP!  The reason is, once you pull the pin, the torsion spring is activated.  If you have to loosen the front clamps and adjust the cover, the front panel will - by virtue of the spring, refuse to lay down.  The only way to get it to lay down so you can reinstall and tighten the clamps is to fully open the panel against the back of the cab, which will then allow the front panel of the cover to lay down and be tightened.  Not a big deal unless you haven't installed the foam pads yet (typically the last step) because minus the foam pads, you will need to place something between the frame of the cover and the back window so it doesn't get scratched.  The next time I install one I will install the foam pads before I pull the pin and activate the spring.   After using it for a few days:   The spring assist is great.  You literally can open it with one hand.  My shoulders aren't getting any younger and this was part of my motivation to swap out. The second panel latches and unlatches itself as you open and close the cover.  Neat in concept, however it took me a minute to get used to closing the cover and not hearing the "latching" sound that would tell me it was locked in place. The paddle handles are a huge upgrade and I wouldn't be surprised to see them become the standard across the Realtruck line.  They effectively eliminate the concern that a thief could coat hanger the cover open and get to the contents in the bed. I'm not sure why the very front panel on my cover has a different finish from the other 3 panels.  I have a request into Realtruck to find out if mine was not manufactured properly or if it was by design.   All in all I'm pleased.  Same level of protection, looks good, keeps stuff mostly dry (they all leak around the tailgate) and easy to install.

      PF63 Oil Filters Going Away?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Same here, first I bought a few filters to get me going right after I bought my truck to do some short distance initial oil changes, then realized I could buy a case lot for less as they drop the price if filters or trans oil etc is bought by the un opened case lot as well as the discount for buying the vehicle there. So I have filters for a while but its good to know going forward, knowing to expect it to be a different part number and looking filter at the dealer and not be confused over it and think they are handing me the wrong part.
