HUD isn’t available on Sierra Denali, any year.  Are you saying you can have it programmed then purchase the additional components, modify the dash etc..to make it work?

In short, YUP. Read through this thread and search here. There is someone who did it. But they had to fabricate the top visor to get it to fit.  It was a big undertaking, and alot of custom work. But it can be done.

 

Also, the cluster has to be programmed anyway BEFORE its plugged into my truck. So its just a slight added cost to program it for HUD to work. But its also not cheap to source all the parts for the HUD system.

Exactly. Your 2105 Suburban, can come with factory HUD, So the parts are direct bolt-on for the most part. So, ALL pickups HAVE to be modded to make HUD work because NO pickups come with HUD from the factory. Also, there are no visor or dash parts for factory install.

I think i've said it here but it bears repeating: There is about a 90% chance if you buy a cluster on ebay marked as New its in fact used. I'm getting units that are VERY obviously physically used in (before we even verify programming on them) that people are being sold as new; FYI.

Chris,

 

Are you going to be replying to emails this Thursday/Friday?  I've stumbled across this mode over the holidays and am wanting to verify what part number I need to source for my truck.

 

Thank you,

I have a 2016 2500HD Chevrolet Duramax.  I am wanting to do the LTZ cluster out of a Tahoe/Suburban so that it has matching colors.  I have seen the comments about the tach and I'm ok with that so long as the tach actually still displays the correct RPM.

 

I have read through all the pages and believe i have the correct process down I just need to verify with Chris the correct part number and want to know if he would be back to business as normal this week for me to email in via his website.

Per our email from the 28th there is nothing green for a 2016 diesel.

Sorry, I have checked my inbox and junk box but never saw a reply.  Thought I had seen in this thread that the Tahoe/Suburban model that was released in the 2016 vehicles could be programmed to work and just have the Tach be 6k so that's not the case?

 

Is there anyway you could email me again so that I could try to coordinate the correct Denali cluster that i will need to source?

 

Thank you,

I thought i could only get the red Denali cluster for my 14 LTZ. A little late now, but oh well. I never even knew the blue was available for my 14.

Get a 2016 Tahoe LTZ cluster it'll have the chevy lighting and you just wont use the whole 6K Tach, probably the best way to handle it.

Did this option turn out to not work on the diesel trucks?  This answer was in response to 'Jakewake23" asking about getting a cluster for his 2016 diesel on page 8.

 

And thank you again Chris for your time.  If this needs to be moved off the thread please let me know.

    • I see where you’re going and I can appreciate that. Statistics can be misleading because of the word average. They say statistics show the average cost of a new vehicle is about 50k. The average monthly payment is close to 1000 dollars a month. That’s statistics for you. I know very few people who pay that. 
    • same here , i have a 2020 first gen and the cost to repair these engines far excedes replacement
    • But Grumpy I did show several subdivisions that had homes starting in the 170K range. If you bought a Townhouse or Condo you could go cheaper. Same with a car 3000 dollars in the 70s translates to around 20K today. There are several models at that price. You actually get more for the money. In the 70s I drove a 3000$ car bought a 28K home and made 4.50 per hour. Thank goodness for overtime. Today I could buy a 170K house drive a 20K car and make 25 dollars an hour operating the same machine today. The difference the house, car, machine would be better and have AC. And I wouldn’t be taxed on overtime. And statistically your wife works too. Easing the burden. I thought we agreed to disagree. I brought receipts earlier, showing examples. I think you’re more stubborn than me. I was done with this debate. 
    • I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here. 
    • My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.
