Yeah, to my knowledge he is still doing it. As far as I know he is pretty busy and only does it on the weekends, but hit him up.

Thank you NIXONRIDE. Definitely hoping to add the cluster to my 2016 SLT. Let us know how things work out with the HUD.

 

I should probably just order both of these parts.

Thanks for the kind words Greg!!! :)

 

Yes we are still doing the programming, if you are trying to contact us here you wont get a reply PM's are disabled due to the influx of people who ignored the please contact us from our website memos :) We aren't hard to find (white auto and media), if you contact us there during business hours we'll get you taken care of!

 

Clusters must be correct for the model year you are trying to retrofit IE if you have a 2016 we need to start with a 2016 cluster and so on. Price also depends on if you decide to add any more custom applications IE HUD and/or if the unit is used.

I'm definitely trying to get the ball rolling on this mod. I have a few questions:

 

NIXONRIDE, what year cluster did you install in your 2016 SLT? The link you shared in another post was for a NOS 2015 Yukon XL Cluster. I'm hoping this is what you had Chris White program, as it would be much cheaper than buying one new from GM Parts Direct.

 

2015 Denali Yukon XL Cluster ($200.99) - http://www.ebay.com/itm/2015-Denali-Yukon-XL-Instrument-Cluster-OEM-23249954-New-/231754299431?fits=Year%3A2015%7CSubmodel%3ADenali&hash=item35f5a1f827:g:lKsAAOSwdvpWDtS4&vxp=mtr

 

New Cluster ($604.67) - http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/oe-gm/23249954

 

Since Chris says that the clusters must be correct for the body year, my thought is that I'll have to purchase from GM Parts Direct.

 

 

Are you having any issues with Apple Car Play? Does the cluster Navigation work?

So who sells the Cluster, dealer? Or can you get them Chris?

You have to source the cluster, again just make sure its the same model year part as your vehicle as there are large changes on the MOST bus between years. If you have for example a 2016 putting a 2015 cluster in will kill your voice commands for carplay/android auto some text wont line up the icons for lane keep assist are missing etc; its a disaster.

 

Edit: forgot to mention, all of you with silverados don't need to miss out on the fun! If you have a 2016 we can setup a 2016 Tahoe ltz cluster which has Chevrolet lighting :)

Yeah mine was out of a 2016 Yukon Denali...the GM part number was 23390930. I don't remember the link I posted but thebkne i got was definitely out of a 2016 and was used...didn't know it was used off the get go but Chris found that out right when he hooked it up to his equipment...no big deal cause it was still less than buying a new one. I have ran into a bit of a snag on the HUD as my local dealers don't want to be much help...I need the part number for the harness required as well as the control switch, so if anyone has access to parts look up and wants to help a brother out PM me.

Missed the lower half of the question but no I am not having any issues what so ever with anything since making the swap.

We've done probably around 100 of these now for various dealers and individuals, no issues since we have the ability to actually do them the right way LOL :)

Oh hey one other thing since this will come up later (it did this morning) keep in mind guys there are really two types of 2015 trucks. There are 2015 and 2015.5, the 2015.5 has a different base OS on the cluster for those specific vehicles. The 2015.5 will have RPO AVF (and wifi etc). You need the correct cluster that fits the rest of your hardware.

    • Enjoy the new truck, it’s a beauty. I’m glad you’re keeping the OBS, I love those old trucks. 
    • With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece. 
    • are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.
    • Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆
    • I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.
