I've been looking for this subject for a while, I'm going to my parts guy to get this done on mine., cooldaddygrove could you specify what exactly is working and what's not. I know you mentioned a few things but does the A/C works?

Thanks!

Everything works just like the standard head unit. Yes the A/C works What doesn't work is"

  • Auto climate control (obviously because I don't have a sensor installed yet)
  • Dual climate control (wasn't expecting this functionality anyways)

Thank you for your response. Ill definitely be doing this upgrade, don't really care for the dual climate feature. It just looks a lot better than the standar one. Let us know if the sensor works, I might get that one too.

Thanks.??

Still trying to figure out how to post pictures from my phone going back and forth from the mobile to full version, so I purchased the sensor I only need to buy the unit with dual zone, does the part I added looks right to you? Questions and comments are welcome.

Yup, thats the same part # I bought online. My dealer is going to install and test it for me next Monday, so we will see how it works

I bought the unit today, I should be getting it by the 19th, so we'll see once I get it., hopefully the automated temperature works, if not this ac unit looks 10x better that the standard one.?

Well, in the end the sensor didn't help. So if anyone is interested in a brand new HVAC control unit to dress up your truck, drop me a PM

That's not good... Did they say why?

 

They said I needed more parts than just the head unit and sensor. Oh well, that was fun.

I installed the new unit yesterday, and I really like this way better than the standar one, I knew the was going to be a very high chance that dual or auto function weren't going to work, but I'm really glad I did this. I'll continue on my quest to figure out the auto and maybe someone might figure it out.

Man, some guys just don't like hearing the advise that people who work on this stuff and program this stuff give. You wont be able to get the auto to work, the HVAC from a non-auto truck to an auto truck is completely different. The airbox system, controller, sensors and programming is not even the same. Unless you are going to pull your entire dash out to the change the airbox and then also replace all of the sensors and then see if you can find someone who can custom program the HVAC module (Dealer cant and wont be able to) then all you are doing is throwing money into the wind.

 

But hey, not my money so go for it.

Alright, so it’s been a long time since a wrote in this topic, but later I found out that the auto does work., my truck didn’t come with the dual zone control and after installing the one with the dual, realize what a lot of people have done after me., installing regardless if it doesn’t work. But as I said the auto does work on my truck when turn the fan off and press the auto it comes on and turn gradually as it gets to the temperature set., now I’m on the quest of continue with this upgrade. After doing a full 16 front conversion, adding the ac/heat oem leather seats to my cloth heated seats, fully unlock my HMI adding the flip down screen and having it fully functioning as factory thanks to @pgamboa and @GTPprix. I believe that the only module requires to program is the HVac module., after obviously added the required harness, sensors and etc. I have successfully swap my non leather dashboard to a HC leather dashboard and taking apart the whole dashboard I feel confident that this might doable. The real failure will be not to try. So I’m going to take my time on this one and after @GTPprix is not as busy as he’s now I might send him my module to program it. If thats an option.lol.

Forgot to mention that I have an 18 dashboard with all the ducts needed and the harnesses that I might use for my truck., so the most important one will be the module. I wonder what the RPO for the dual zone climate control is or if it’s actually one. Will come back with the result once I find out more about it.

      AFM Experience

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.

      Upgrade to a 2026 AT4 with the 3.0L Duramax

      By Blade8971 · Posted

      Thank You.   So far my new ride is making me look like a genius for going with the 3.0L, as my first fuel refill occurred over three weeks from when I took delivery.  This engine combination is very amazing.  So far no issues and had not done a regen yet.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am curious as to how much fluid you put back in the transmission ( assuming you had replaced the filter to compare to my findings ) and then went through the process of warming up the trans before pulling the check plug to drain out the excess and if you measured how much came back out.    I just found it surprising that some claimed a certain amount less fluid being put in and then draining some back out. The attitude of the truck as per if the surface is level and how the trucks stance is would make quite a difference since the check plug is right at the front of the transmission.
