Looking for a 2016 Suburban/Tahoe cluster, blue lights if anyone is selling one. I have ordered from gmpartsdirect.com and another similar site and they refunded me because they no longer supply clusters. Longshot but heres hoping.

Well, thanks to WAMS, I got my cluster today and installed it. There is a couple things... I lost my trip info. It has the trip info from the original truck the cluster came out of. Which i wish I really had. I reset it all the day I bought it. So trip B had totals from the day I bought it. Trip A was weelky fill ups and mpg's. I also lost my engine hours. Dont know how that happened. 

 

I do like the nav screen showing the map though.

 

Now I just have to get the RED ORL switch.

How did you switch all the other lights around the radio/hvac controls to be red to match the cluster? I see you have a chevrolet, which I know all of them came with the teal color.. I have a cluster coming and would love to do this mod so the rest of the buttons are red.

I was lucky enough that another great member on here with a sierra wanted the blue. We made arrangements to remove the radio screen with controls, hvac controls, headlight switch, and 4x4 switch from both of our trucks. Then ship them to each other, via ups 2nd day air. So the cost to do the mod for me was $57 for the shipping. You can remove everything and still drive the truck. Everything still worked via steering wheel controls. Except the hvac. But i set it to 75 and auto. So when i unplugged it, it stayed on that setting.  I still have the blue ORL headlight switch because I want to see if someone has a red one for sale, or someone wants to trade blue for a red one. Thats the only way to do it.

 

The cluster still shows Intellilink when started. And i lost my engine hours. Chris said that info is inside the cluster and cant be transferred. Same with the Intellilink logo. But, when i get rid of the truck, the denali cluster will come out and stock cluster back in.

It looks great! I saved my stock cluster too...my engine hours reset too but I did mine so early it might have lost 15 hours...my “best MPG” took about 50 miles to re-register a best too but all good now. The bonus for me was after the swap (and I do not know why) my Intellabeam headlights started working...was gonna take it into dealer but they started working immediately after the swap...probably just a fluke. Anyway, the red looks very nice.

Yeah. I had over 2600 hrs on mine. I totally wish I had intellabeam high beams. Wish i could add them....

Oh, when i did the swap, before i removed the 4x4 switch, i set it to auto. Then it snowed the next day. It showed service 4wd, but the system worked perfect.

Wow that’s a lot of hours to lose but I guess you could plug the old one in to get exact hours when you combine the two for your records...I love the Intellabeam, it works way better than I thought it would.

Well, my truck has 87600 miles on it now. So i think thats average hours. Whenever i sell it and swap it back, itll be like having low hours.  Unless its stored somewhere in the ecm, but not displayed. I have a snap-on verus scanner. Ill have to hook it up and check.

Would be interesting to know. I really like the red, wish GMC still had it but it’s all good.

    • I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps. 
    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
