Question:  My Cluster came back to me today from Chris and I went to install it.  When I attempted to take the visor off I noticed it was attached to something.  There is a cord attached to a little black box going into the visor that prevents me from removing it completely.  Anybody have any idea what this is and what to do about it?  I'm driving a 2017 Yukon SLT.  Thanks!

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

So you have heads up display. Is your new cluster programmed for it?

Is that what that is?  No. I don’t have the controls for a heads up display anywhere.  Do I need to unhook this before I can proceed?

that is the FCA (Forward Collision Alert) light module

you can unplug it to remove the cluster

 

__If you add the HUD, it would replace this device entirely

Last question, and I apologize in advance.  The bottom portion of my vehicle is slightly different than the ones in the installation videos.  Mine is all one giant piece.  Would anyone know if this entire piece should be popped out?  I don't want to damage anything but I don't see any other way to get to the cluster as some of is behind this large piece.

Has anyone tried this on a Yukon by any chance?  I feel like I've wasted a whole heap of money here which is admittedly my fault.  I don't think these Yukon clusters are as easy to remove as the Sierra clusters.  I've removed the visor and bolts but the plastic piece that sits over the top of the cluster does not want to come out.  Its going to break if I pull on it any harder I fear.   Oh well, hopefully I can get someone to purchase this off of eBay and I won't be out as much money as I am now.  White Auto and Media was great and I got $100 back from the seller that was selling it new but was actually used so at least I got that.

 

A word of warning, if you are thinking about doing this on a Yukon I don't recommend it.

Is there a panel under your steering column that has the hood release? On the Sierra it’s held in by 2 torx15 screws. If you do, lower that and see if there is something else you might be able to see holding it up??? Just trying to help since I have no idea how the Yukon is put together. I bet you’re not the first to do this on a Yukon...maybe someone can chime in who has and they just haven’t seen your posts. Good luck, sorry it’s being a pain.

I certainly appreciate the help.  There is one large panel that stretches the entire length of the driver seat.  It’s the photo I posted above.  I’m not sure if it would need to be removed as its not a smaller piece like I’ve seen in the truck videos.  This piece literally stretches from the door to the middle console.  

 

So there were two bolts holding the plastic piece in on the outside of the cluster?

Wow, thank you for that.  There is no way I’m going through that entire process just to change the cluster. Taking the entire plastic trim off the vehicle is not what I had in mind when I decided to do this.  I thought it would be a 15 minute swap out from what I saw in the videos.

 

Appreciate all the help, the Yukon swap won’t be happening.

Not holding that part but by dropping the lower panel it frees up a plastic piece that helps hold that piece in place.

      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

      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
