if anyone comes across a 2017 chevy cluster they can't use, post the link or PM me!

I have a 2017 diesel unit in stock

Have you had any luck making it backwards compatible for a 2016 yet?

Nope not doable.

Dang. Guess I'll keep waiting for my Tahoe cluster.

Are the Tahoe clusters still on backorder?

As of last Thursday, mine still is.

I have 200+ in my warehouse, I don’t have time to look up all the part numbers.

I've had similar experiences with him (the same eBay seller) in the past. Seems to come up short on the personality/customer service side. I got a "sorry, no" when I asked about doing one of the knew Denali clusters in my 2015 Yukon. He's good at what he knows, but won't entertain or help you understand why something "outside the box" for him wouldn't work. Years ago, I was able to convince him to add a trans temp gauge, Denali bezel and needles to a 140mph police cluster for my 2007 classic Sierra.

Yeah this is the same company that was selling 2014 clusters and stating they fit 2014-2016.... All he has to reply with is ONE part number for the correct model year and we can handle the rest. My suspicion is they are 2014's.. These are factory plant overruns so literally all he has to do is walk out and look at the P/N on the crate or the build dates or simply the back of one of the units in a crate; I guess he just doesn't want to sell you one?

I'd hazard a guess its because he cant do it. He apparently tells our customers all the time that what we do is impossible won't work etc from what I've been told (I have no problem with the guy at all, it's just hearsay IE fighting customers on purchases). Yet we still get quite a few from him so I don't know?

 

It could also be because his fiancé/GF/whatever was posting here posing as a customer and I called her out on it and she left LOL

That's what so disappointing about it. Just because one person may not have the knowledge to do something doesn't mean someone else cannot. Seems like a poor business attitude.

 

That's why I'm glad for guys like GTPprix. He has the patience to hear the same questions and their variants at nauseam and still give explanations.

Oh I have my moments believe me LOL The thing I don't understand is I guess he's refusing a sale to begin with basically but he literally has to do less work (doesn't have to program it etc) just box it up and ship it? Dunno but thats too bad since he could potentially be selling a LOT more of them.

I'm wondering where he sources them from. Quite a few are marked as "new".

 

 

Factory overruns, salvage yards typically bid on them but other businesses can as well; maybe I should start LOL

    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
