Does anyone know if the stock cluster can be reinstalled back into the truck after the new Denali cluster has been programmed and installed?  Not that I foresee a reason to ever switch back to stock, but I'm just curious if it would work.  I'm guessing no, but I thought I'd ask.  I bet only one part number can be attached to each VIN.

Yes, you can put your original cluster back in as long as it's still programmed to your vehicle.  The clusters are programmed to the vehicle (VIN), not the vehicle to the cluster if that makes since.

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

Makes perfect sense, thank you!  I'll keep my stock cluster stored away in case I ever want to reinstall it later.  

 

Now, if FedEx will just hurry up and get here so I can turn it right back around to Chris!  :)

 

I got the cluster from Specmo and they are only about 10 minutes from Chris.  I tried to get them to ship it across town to Chris to save me time and money on shipping, but they said they don't drop-ship.  Oh well.  Now it's coming from Michigan to Louisiana, back to Michigan the same day I get it, and back to Louisiana.  :lol:

Hey gang just a heads up, while this is literally the first line in our Terms and Conditions it bears repeating again: DO NOT SHIP USPS IF YOU WANT YOUR STUFF IN ONE PIECE. I'm not sure what they do with them here but they are AMAZINGLY good at breaking the lenses. We've had a rash of people not heeding the warning that end up damaged. 

 

Also bubble wrap unless it fills the whole damn box may not be enough, wrap these suckers in foam just in case; trust me this is good advice either with our without USPS.

 

Thanks :)

I can attest to what Chris is saying. UPS was used both ways (not USPS). When I received it back from him, the lens was broken. You could tell something had been ever so gently “placed” on top of the box. The box looked a bit like an accordion on one end.

Just got mine back and installed it once I figured out how to release the damn harness connector!!!  Works and looks great!  Thanks Chris!

 

I now have Denali cluster, LTZ DL3 mirrors, and OEM GM DVD/Blu-Ray....my truck's a mutt!  LOL!

I just discovered a potential issue...

 

I have gotten a "Service Rear Park Assist" message on my cluster a couple of times.  The graphic and camera are working on the 8" Infotainment screen and it is beeping as normal, but there is no graphic popping up on the new Denali cluster like it did on the stock one.  

 

Anyone else have this issue?

Hmmm this is an interesting one of course because of the timing. So a few things that may help. #1 Rhe cluster IS programmed for park assist if you are seeing that message otherwise it would be turned off IE trucks built without it and we've done plenty both ways without anyone else reporting this issue.

 

That said there IS a UPA module update for SOME 2017's and without knowing which part number module you have (theres like 20) I can't say for sure but that may be it as well. Worst case if you want us to checkout the programming in the cluster just to rule it out we're happy to do so on the house. The good news is there are VERY low odds its the cluster hardware; I've only seen one bad one thus far out of a bazillion of this family we've done.

MVI has programmed my HMI to support OEM DVD/Blu-Ray playback.  Is there anything in the HMI relating to the park assist that may be the cause?  It worked perfectly with the old cluster...I guess I could put it back in to see if it works....if it does, then we know it's the Denali cluster. 

 

Can you tell me where to find the park assist module so I can see which one it is?

This is something we should continue via email as to not clutter up this thread; thanks!

Thats strange, I always perfer USPS, when shipping something fragile, and I still make sure its properly protected. I despise UPs because it doesn't matter how well I package something it somehow always ends up being damaged .

They lost someone’s cluster just last week. They have lost about ten grand worth of stuff over the years :(

Im looking for a 2016 tahoe cluster with the blue/green lights, I ordered one from gmpartsdirect.com but they refunded my money saying they cannot provide clusters at the moment. Anyone have any idea where I can order it from? Looking for part #84254166

If gmpartsdirect can't get it, then I'd assume they won't sell it without an exchange, if it is possible.  Dealerships can order it but you'll have pay the core charge since you won't have the same cluster to return.  It may be on backorder too.  It took a few months for me to get mine about a year ago because of backorder.

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      You must have that upgraded gvw package which is only available or at least was in 2025 with the diesel engine for the 3/4 ton and that gave the truck physically the larger 12.0 ring gear rear diff and the 3500 rear spring pack. There is a difference in what the diff housing looks like externally as one tell tale and also your truck should have the upper overload spring pack and the frame pads that the pack goes up against.    The pressure the tpms system kicks the alarm in on a stock setting truck, that is a good question and was just from what I recall but I doubt I made any notes on it as I knew for the rear that it was not at all what I was after regardless either. Being that you have a diesel and if running on stock tires the minimum pressure on an empty truck seems to be around 50 psi from hearing of those that have weighted the front axle but the rear axle is very similar in weight to a gas truck and again a near empty truck on the rear could go down to 35 pounds at minimum. However the weigh scale is the proper way to know for sure as a guide.    As to changing the readings on the dash from metric to the US measuring system, oh yes that is done easily but what I was attempting to explain was that I can't pick and choose items I want to have in US and those I still want in the metric system at the same time as its either all or none. For example lets say you drove into Canada and switched your dash over to metric so your speedometer read in km an hour, well then your reading kilopascals on your tpms readout and your wife looks over and says what the hell is that saying in the tpms screen and you say "darned if I know, I think its Chinese" !

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      This is partly why I decided to have switched over to Amsoil SS as a way of hopefully preventing the buildup of the sludge/carbon on the pistons and clogging of the oil control rings and the carbon that would cause the compression rings to stick in their grooves as well as stay cleaner up top of the heads in the valve train in the first place, an oil that has tested better by third party testing over typical shelf oil and also doing my best to run relatively short OCI. However in saying that I don't think there is any way to easily prove the oil I was using prior allowed for a buildup at the OCI I was doing, nor in the other direction to make claims the Amsoil is keeping everything clean either. There really isn't a window into the engine is there to know anything for certain even if oil samples were taken for example that showed still healthy oil being dropped out of the oil pan other than engine tear downs that extensive and expensive testing of oils does to actually visually see what is really going on inside the engine. I wish there was some easy method of seeing what is going on but I don't happen to be aware of that if there is.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.
