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.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
