Leather wrapped shifter swap?

[morrislee]

No, I got mine off eBay...see post #11...they are showing out of stock. I didn't need a VIN...another forum member posted the part number they used from a 2014 Escalade, although some sites say that this part number fits a 2014 or 2015. It is GM part number 22857352; I got it from a GM dealer in Iowa who sells on eBay.

One of my buddy works at a local parts warehouse now, I have asked him to order one up for me at cost with the denali listed earlier. Time to wait!

Finally got around to putting mine in. Install was easier than I thought.

I wish they had the chrome that the older Denali's and Escalades had though

[Bunks]

That is a great idea.

 

I have the Coco Dune interior anyone know if they make it in the Coco Dune brown or the High Country brown leather?

PN for the brown?

 

I want to say I've seen the brown wrapped ones in the LTZ Suburbans

[DCazares]

Yes they do make them in Cocoa as my coworker has a Yukon Denali with Cocoa interior.

Anyone have an issue with the gear selection buttons for manual mode not working correctly after the install?

 

When I press the gear up button, it goes down a gear and the gear down button does nothing... Tow/Haul button works as it should.

The SLE, SLT, LT, and LTZ come with a "rubber" grip on the end of the shifter. The Sierra Denali and the Escalades come with a leather tip. This is what they are trying to put on.

I just performed this upgrade on my 2017 SLT with the 6 speed trans. using GM part number 22857352. Wholesale cost of $69. I was able to get this done in 20 minutes, and without removing the steering column shrouds. Mine has the tilt/telescoping column. I did have to remove the large panel under the column to access the connector at the base of the column. A T-30 Torx bit, used with a 1/4" ratchet removed the lever screw, which is a tight fit, and is fully Locktited from the factory. As stated before, I kinda wish the tip of the lever was chromed as with the GMT-900's, but it is far nicer than the base lever. It's the small details that add up.

Any way to grab a good picture? I can't seem to Find any that really show off the leather.

I don't know if this is the one that he used but here is a brown leather one from an Escalade:

I saw that one, but the pic isn't very good. Still hard to tell the difference.

Here is a pic of the backside. It is stitched on the dash side.

The section between the "+/-" button and the end of the stalk is cocoa leather that is hand-stitched instead of just the hard black plastic like the standard one. All the buttons work the same (still has Tow/Haul on the end).
