The crash avoidance module in the pickups is not capable to HUD info as you would need to replace the crash avoidance module with the SUV's HUD unit. There are atleast 2 different p/n's for the HUD as GM has made revisions of which I don't what the changes are from my research though but a big price difference between them with the superceded p/n. By the looks of everything, there will be some needed modifications to the pickup dashes to get this to work and look decent. I haven't been able to test stuff as I'm still waiting on my cluster as it's still on backorder. The SUV defroster vent panel and cluster visor MAY work WITH modification of the pickup's dash behind its cluster visor but again haven't been able to test yet. As for where to mount the switch, I'm still looking for ideas since I have the trailer brake controller, there is limited space for a clean install.

I agree..it appears the defroster panel has nothing to do with the hud system. There are separate part #'s for the defroster showing w and w/o crash avoidance. Same goes for the visor. So hopefully there will be room to mount the hud module. There is a chance the cluster visor from the SUV's would fit but would need to take a chance on ordering one or study it closely. I personally could never cut the existing visor to have it look 'right'. Then there is the wiring and switch problem to figure out.

Thanks to Mr. Chris White I now have a Denali gauge cluster in my 2016 Sierra SLT. Once he did his programming it was plug and play. Everything works just like it does in My wife's 2016 Yukon Denali

You’ve been asking and we’ve been listening. Granted it took longer than anyone would have liked we are changing up our operations a bit to hopefully make things easier on everyone; especially the con

Here's pics of the area in my Yukon with forward collision alert and without HUD.63c88b37fcc992f26e1d45080fd78499.jpg

Here's where the switch goes in the suvs. On the silver trim under the vent.

That's very helpful thanks..Does the dash pad to the defrost panel 'step down' at all. On the trucks the visor stops short of the actual dash then steps down to the defroster grille. I'm afraid it would make for a very tough retrofit...to look right anyway. The switch looks to be an easier mod.

 

To clarify..The crash avoidance in the trucks is actually in the defroster grill, not the dash visor as is the case in the SUV's.

The crash avoidance and the HUD are in the same location which is why putting the SUV defroster panel in the pickups should work theoretically. Getting the SUV cluster visor to fit is where the modification needs to be made to the pickups dash pad is my assumption.

Yes, I would say it steps down.

My crash avoidance hole appears to be in the same location. It may only be a matter of making it larger.

Anyone have pics of the HUD cluster visor? If its the same as that one, all you would need is the truck defroster panel if you don't have one.

That's only if the the truck defroster panel and SUV defroster panel are interchangeable..as well as the cluster visor panels. It'd be great if they were...

So ideally if putting hud in a truck you'd need to order the defroster panel and cluster visor from an SUV and hope they work.

What I'm saying is

1) The dashes appear to be completely different. You would need the whole dash to make the visor look right from the suv.

2) The HUD/crash warning hole appears to be in the same location as the truck.

3) If the size of the hole is the same we should be ok

4) If the hole is larger it would only require a little massaging of said hole.

5) Anybody have pics of HUD defroster panel?

I'm getting closer to my Denali cluster for my truck. I received my cluster in the mail and its sitting on my counter to get shipped to GTPprix for him to work his magic.... Just need to go to the post office and ship it.

I think GTP said mine was a '15.5 based on my VIN. I do have WIFI. How much is programming? I don't need HUD.

      No low range 4 x 4

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.

      Ac not keeping up

      By Aimatdeer · Posted

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
