I've found the correct cluster for my Yukon SLT and am sending it in to Chris.  I had a question though.  I have someone who can install this (for a fee) but I'd like to do it myself if possible.  I've watched the YouTube video and was wondering how hard it actually is to replace the cluster?  I have automotive pry tools so I think I should be able to get the pieces off myself.  Can anyone comment on the level of difficulty in doing this?  Thanks, just trying to do more of this stuff myself instead of paying for someone to do it.

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

You probably seen my video on the swap on the Silverado/Sierra platform. I’m fairly certain it is the same on SUVs.

Remove the cluster visor, remove the trim piece in front of the cluster, remove the cluster.

Not sure which video you watched, but here is mine. I have an SUV visor and it is held on the same way.

I did this in about 15 minutes in the parking lot at work. The #15 Torx and 7mm socket and ratchet is all you really need, the pry tool is just a nice thing to have...I do not have one. This is probably the easiest thing you could do to the interior/dash. The cluster cover just pops off. The video is exactly (well pgamboa’s video is) how it goes. NOTHING hard at all. My only suggestion is when you tighten everything back up remember it’s plastic and could crack if you over tighten the screws. Honestly the hardest part for me was just being careful not to scratch the new cluster putting it in and that was not really a concern because it went in very easily.

***For what it’s worth, if I charged someone to do this job...I’d feel VERY guilty charging them more than a Coke.

Odave that cluster is sweet! Do you remember the part number?

Kevin...read this ENTIRE thread before you spend a dime! There are a lot of variables and research required before this mod can be done. The Z71 in his Denali cluster is a sticker he got off eBay. I would like that sticker but the cluster swap is not as simple as it may appear. Please sift through the thread and what I’m saying will make much more sense!

my Denali cluster did not come with the  "Z71"logo.  I got a decal on ebay, removed the lens and put the decal on the gauge face.

Yes, I was asking if you don’t mind provide a link to the decal/sticker so maybe others can do the same. It’s a nice touch but if you want to keep that exclusive to you I get it...just have to figure out which one to get ?

      Manufactuer's Defect - Paint Failure - Cherry Red High Country 2021 Suburban

      By AlVeron · Posted

      This is NOT impact damage nor neglect. There were previous class action lawsuits because of such paint preparation st GM manufacturing plant. Not just the Cherry Red Color. This paint is applied in three processes to obtain the desired color.  The manufacturer will cover for 36 months or 36k miles only. That rust is actually corrosion because of the paint process failure. Corrosion is covered for 100,100 miles or a certain months. However their corrosion doesn't include this type. Go figure. Clearly manufacturer knew from previous paint issues. This started 3 weeks ago out of the blue.

      Is it time to put a piece of tape over the CEL?

      consider doing electrical testing?  I would guess some power or ground wire/connection has a problem.   alldata.com has wiring diagrams, connector pinouts and diagnostic procedures you can use to find where the problem is.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      can you tell if the reader is actually trying to get codes, and the pcm is reporting none, or is your reader just silently failing because it's not communicating with the pcm?

      Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL
