I emailed to confirm a cluster would work before I purchased on eBay. You state that part numbers need to be confirmed before ordering. Yet I never got a conformation. 

 

Not trying to start a pissing match :-)

Thanks to Chris White for the programming! Got the cluster in today and everything works exaclly as it should. Side note, i seem to remember a part of this topic mentioning the speed limit sign being displayed on the cluster on the later model trucks. I have a 2015 Silverado 2500HD LTZ and still get the little speed limit sign displayed next to the PRND indicator on the display and not just when I'm in the speed limit page. Just FYI.

The only difference I noticed is that the weather advisories don't pop up in the Denali Cluster.

Well since I can't leave well enough alone, I decided to go a step further and make a "hybrid" cluster for myself. Since the 2015 clusters don't have options for the chevy blue in the screen, I knew that couldn't be changed. So I decided to at least make my gauges the chevy blue to try and include some of the color back into the cluster.  Turned out pretty good and I'm really happy with it.

Do tell how you did this...in a separate thread. Just link it here.

Oooh... maybe swapped in the blue gauge faces from another cluster?

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

I’m thinking that’s the case. However, I thought the faces were glued on.

He actually just posted a detailed how to on this. Swapped LEDs from a Cruze Cluster. :)

The faces do have an adhesive that keep them on the white difuser but you can pull them off pretty easy. It seems to be more of a double sided tape than a glue

That's half of it. The problem was that the Denali cluster has red LEDs backlighting the red faces so both had to be swapped.

Ah yes. Don’t wanna miss that detail. :)

Update to this project. I can confirm that the servo boards from at least a 2017 cluster will swap over to the 2015's. So those of you with more money than time can simply swap the boards and faces from a 2016 with blue or 2017+ cluster. That makes this about a 30 minute job and much easier. and for what its worth, the screens are also interchangeable as well. No that you gain anything from swapping them.

Hey everybody 

 

Looking at getting a 2018 Silverado Ltz. Found a part number for the instrument cluster on a 2018 Sierra Denali but it says it’s not compatible. I think I read a thread that said as long as I have it reprogrammed for my vechiles VIN then it will work, is that the case?

    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?   
    • Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
