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.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      True. My statement needs qualification. "For a shade tree mechanic, re-assembling the front engine to achieve a rough baseline timing of 0 degrees, as is approximated and indicated by common visual indicator mark alignment, measured with a human eye capable of 20/20 vision *with correction, I am reasonably confident that I have followed the outlined procedures/ prescribed methods for verifying baseline timing."   😉   In the end, the computer sets the timing, it's continuously variable based on sensor input, and the distributor only has a degree or two of physical adjustability intended for dialing in the final setting for cam ****** once everything is back together. But even that final value is acceptable within, I believe, +/- 3 degrees.   I thought my exhaust project was going to be a bear. To my surprise, the old clamps came right off last night, and I was able to unbolt all the hangers instead of having to muscle the rubber mounts. The old cat is ready to slip off the factory y-pipe. The rest is ready to come out with one or two cuts, and I've got a fresh blade waiting. I love living where rust isn't a thing.

      PF63 Oil Filters Going Away?

      I work at a Chevrolet dealership & hear it all believe me.  Just reads like there's going to be a fist fight over filters.  Can't get enough, continue!!

      Tire psi

      I just can't think of the exact term GM uses for that higher gvw package without looking at the website but basically sort of a trailering package and I imagine it may also have been created to skirt around the licensing fee differences between a3/4 and 1 ton that apply in some states although ironically I believe in some states its the reverse that a 1 ton is the cheaper truck to license over a 3/4 ton. It makes no difference here in Alberta but oddly enough a 1 ton through my insurance company is a bit cheaper to insure over a 3/4 ton as its based on the insurance statistics they generate.    For sure when ever you do have the chance to weigh your truck and to be fair, try to have the fuel tank full or nearly so rather than give yourself a false sense of the truck being lighter by having an almost empty tank.    In my other comment I was mentioning stock sized tires and partly in case someone was reading this and thinking they could lower their pressure down to what your aftermarket tires are able to do with your empty truck as that is a vastly different picture in the leeway you have to play with for running minimum pressures while remaining safe. I will say also that its easy to see from reactions of truck owners that may have been more used to owning a half ton in the past or a car and be it on a forum like this or in person etc that they get so wrapped up in that placard pressure sticker that they can't get their head wrapped around the fact that an HD truck due to how much it can carry can also vary the tire pressures drastically lower than those pressures ( typically more so for the rear axle on stock sized tires ) when empty vs some car that isn't made to carry much so the tire pressures can't be lowered since it needs almost that much pressure just to carry the empty car.    If I ever do find myself in the states with this truck, I will only be too happy to switch it over to the US measuring system as then I will understand all the dash readings. The only thing that is off for me slightly with US measurements is US miles per gallon as I grew up with the Imperial gallon and to this day up here anyway speak in Imperial miles per gallon ( I don't do that on this forum though as that would confuse everyone for no good reason ).

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Yes that's right, it's the upgrade that includes the overload spring and all that stuff.   Someday when I'm empty and going by a scale I'm going to stop in and get some weight readings.   Exactly  you should have the ability to change individual settings, in in Canada so I'm driving with kph but then I'm stuck with kpa when I want psi lol
