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.

Gas clusters won't work in a diesel.  They don't have the circuitry for the glow plug indicator and will throw a code tripping the CEL.

There is one on ebay right now for $276 or best offer. I wanted parts out of it to change my cluster to blue gauges. So I sent him an offer of $100. They countered for $199. Its a 2017 Denali diesel cluster

 

It says BRAND NEW.Never installed in a vehicle. But no box and there is scratches on the face.

Thank you sir. Looks like I will be going with the proper Denali cluster and doing the blue LED mod to it. 

 

Sorry Chris @ WAMS for dragging this out on the thread. I’ll email in on Thursday with my VIN to get proper Diesel cluster part # for my truck.

The one i posted is for a 17 Denali diesel. This is the back side of that cluster.

Think I might pick this one up as a parts donor. 

 

Thank you

I have a 2015.5 Silverado I want to do this mod to, and after reading through this thread I see the tahoe cluster won’t work for my year, so if I pick up a Denali cluster like you stated for yours, how do you plan on changing the led’s to Blue?

Here you go, made a "how to" on what I went through to accomplish this setup.

 

 

If you look on page 36 you will see where a gentleman has already done this and made another thread showing how he did it.

Search Denali hybrid cluster. All the info is there. I just litterally went through that thread.

 

RWaddell this is the ebay info for you.

Would a 2015 Yukon Cluster work on a 2015.5 duramax silverado? It looks like the Denali trucks have red on them even with the LED’s off, whereas the Yukon is all white when it’s not lit, which looks better to me. I need to figure out how to get a 2015.5 ltz duramax silverado to have this sick display cluster, anyone have any ideas?

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. 

Yes, i was one of those people. The seller RollingAutomotive on eBay sold me a cluster as new. When I received it I sent it straight to Chris without even looking at it. Chris sent me some pictures and it did in fact have miles on it.  I’ve contacted the seller regarding this and will see what they respond with.

Yeah. Probably tell you to send it back at your expense..  if so, yell them it was false advertising and its gonna cost you $100 more for programming. If anything, tell them you want $100 refund to cover the programming from Chris. 

 

Side note, ive seen many diesel clusters on ebay yesterday. A couple say, new- never installed into a vehicle. As i posted a screenshot of a listing yesterday.

False advertising, yes it sure is. But just to make sure it's clear, whether or not the cluster is brand new or used, it will need programing/re-programing to function properly.

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