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.

    • With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece. 
    • are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.
    • Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆
    • I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death. 
    • In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.
