Great progress today...

 

I was able to locate a complete front dashboard to experiment on the HUD install, and it came with great rewards. I should be getting my Denali cluster sometime tomorrow and start on this install as soon as I can.

Special thanks to[mention=191422]jadscoop[/mention] for his amazing work on bringing the Tahoe/yukon visor cluster and the Silverado/Sierra visor hood cluster.

 

Here a few pictures of what I worked on today.

The dashboard will need to be cut. There is no other way around the HUD itself is pretty big and there’s not enough room to fit without cutting into the dashboard once cut it will fit like it was meant to be there.

Here’s a better picture from above.

The HUD has 3 locations where it needs to be attached or screwed into. 1 on the tabs is already there at the main metal bracket support. From the picture above you can see where the one of the screws is solid screwed into. The second one will need a spacer in between to mount it properly but it will be enough to support the HUD (picture below)

We will loose the driver mirror defroster vent. There’s no way around. (Not a big deal for me)

 

The cluster hood visor will complete attach to our Silverado/Sierra cluster trim with the difference of adding the Tahoe/Yukon to cover where the dashboard was cut and it fully matches where the HUD location is.

Now the next challenge is to make a cast of the the 2 cluster visor hood together and make a one solid piece and leather it to match as close as possible to our dashboard finish. Visited a few local shop in Dallas area and I’m confident it can be done. Stay tune for the retrofit.

 

thanks to[mention=159655]pgamboa[/mention] for getting the harness covered and[mention=191422]jadscoop[/mention] for his work done on the cluster visor. It’s coming closer to reality.

You know that old saying, "if you have to ask..." [emoji12] This is easily a $1000 plus mod. It really depends on how much you pay for the cluster and whether it's used or not. One guy paid $150 for a

Just to add some tidbits so they don't get lost:   1. Requires custom programming for factory sierra Denali 2. If not a factory Denali (i.e. Every other c/k truck and SUV) will require Denali clust

HUD retrofit completed.
Thanks to@jadscoop@pgamboa and whiteautoandmedia.com

Just finished installing the HUD on my 15 Silverado. I’ll take some pictures at night.
Windshield will be replaced with a HUD ready one.

Dam that looks good. Nicely done. Could you use a piece of the HUD film instead of replacing the glass?

Looking great! Do you have the part number for your denali cluster in blue?

Nice job guys. [mention=154140]viktorrocks15[/mention] the HUD windshield made more of a difference than I expected in my Yukon. You’ll be happy you swapped one in.

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By SoCal Angler · Posted

      2023 GMC 3500 HD, SLE, 6.6L Gas, 4x4, 6 Spd Options:  SLE Convenience Package; Driver Alert Package 1; Spray on Bedliner; X31 Off Road Package; TRAILERING MIRRORS, HEATED POWER -ADJUSTABLE, AUTO DIMMING, WITH TURN INDICATORS WHEELHOUSE LINERS, REAR INC. REAR AXLE - 3.73 RATIO INC. GVWR, 11,350 LBS. (5148 KG) INC. FRONT AND REAR PARK ASSIST, INC. ULTRASONIC     I have been launching my new boat and noticed some things related to the parking brake.. I usually set the parking brake (habit) when on flat ground for typical driving.    When backed down on the launch ramp to launch the boat and I place gear selector into Park, the parking brake activates automatically. My second nature is to set parking brake manually and noticed I was turing the parking brake off.  The parking brake appears to be setting itself automatically.   I looked all over my owner's manual and only found references to being on an incline and manually setting parking brake, or at times parking brake will be auto engaged, but nothing specific to my situation.    When is the parking brake automatically engaged?  Under what specific circumstances?  Can the auto set parameters be changed?     I like the auto set feature.  It would be nice if always engaged when shifted into Park and released when shifted out of Park (like my wifes 2025 RAV4).   Thanks!
