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

You want to make sure you get the corresponding year cluster for your truck.

Here is the Denali Cluster thread. It has all the confirmed part #s by WAMS. (www.whiteautoandmedia.com).

@Viktorrocks15   Nice Work!  For anyone that is looking at doing this MOD, I have am now offering the harnessing for this upgrade.  It is $150 shipped, Canada +$10.  It will also include the

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

I just got a 2019 LTZ Silverado that has the same setup already just no HUD. I wonder what will work for this year/model?

Hud Was never offerd in 2014 -2019 K2xx generation trucks. Some trucks got the red leds for heads up alert / active low speed braking. SUV’s had HUD but have a different dash. 

 

You have to cut your truck dash to retrofit a SUV HUD which requires many other parts. 

 

I believe pgamboa offers a kit of the required parts.

The K2xx trucks are from 2014-2018.  The 2019 trucks are the new style (T1xx) and HUD is available on the upper trim levels.  I don't know what it would take to add it to a lower-trim truck.

GM is building both k2xx and t1xx generations for 2019

That's true but only in limited numbers.  When he said 2019 I just assumed he meant the new body style (the 2019 K2xx is called "1500 LD").

 

cva617680:

You will need to tell us which one you have.  If the headlights look like a 2018 then you can't get HUD without major modifications (but there is a thread on here where somebody has done it and is custom-fabricating the dash shroud).  If it has the newer body style you can probably add HUD if you get the dash components and have some custom programming done.

The 2019 model has HUD 

You need to make sure your instrument cluster has the connections in the rear of it for HUD. Contact White Automotive and  Media Services. On the website is 2019 instrument cluster .

Have them active the HUD. They did my cluster. Easy people to work with. If you have any questions after talk to WA&M. Private message me. I will see what I can do to help.

First, Big shutout to @cmatt and @pgamboa - you two rock!

 

Second, I finally got around to retrofitting my '15 Yukon Denali with HUD (yes, it did not come with it - very early version I guess).  Thanks to this thread, a harness from CMATT, and other google searching everything is in and working, sorta...  Note:  before sending my OEM cluster to WAMS to be programmed I thought i would give it a try, and what do you know "0  MPH" was displayed

 

At this point the HUD will display the DEFAULT view, but when I try to switch to a different view via the "INFO" switch - the HUD goes black - no info and will not come back.  It is still working as i can move the display box up and down but no data is shown.  The only way i can get the data to display again it by disconnecting the cluster connector (P16) from the back of the cluster (essentially resetting it).  After that, the data will display again.

 

Question:  Does anyone know what might be causing this?  is there something to try?

 

Thank you

Did you get a compatible cluster custom programmed by WhiteAutoAndMedia.com for this to work?  This is a requirement for it to work.

Sorry for the delay, I did not yet, I emailed WAMs to see / verify that programming will resolve the issue first. I have not heard back from them yet.

Well, I guess I’m late for the party.. I guess I didn’t do an update on my 2 attempt to HUD retrofit in a 2014-2018 Silverado/Sierra models.
Here’s a few pictures..
I modified everything to make it look as close as factory.
Big shout out to@pgamboa with harnessdr.com made all harness plug and play.
And whiteautoandmedia.com for HUD Enabling programming.

It's Aug 2022 - and after reading this blog from 2017 - I felt confident this is something I wanted to do for my 2015 Tahoe LT (we're not trading in - so why not update, we had just bought a 2022 Suburban and liked these newer features).

 

I ordered all the required parts from WAMS, and color schemes for my vehicle - and the custom wire harness from HarnessDr.com   Note: I don't work on cars - ever - but I felt comfortable knowing that if I had the tools, time, and patience - I knew the support was here if I got in a jam.  So - moved ahead buying all the parts and reading all I could. Bottom line - I did it. 

 

I added Radio / HMI 2.5 modules, 2016 programmed Denali Cluster for HUD ready, HUD System, Hud switches, and USB port under armrest, and the wire harness to make it all work from Phil at HarnessDr.com   When I got stuck - Phil was kind enough to coached me on through to completion (via email).  I was totally successful  - but only thanks to everyone who contributed here and to Phil at HarnessDr.com 

 

Everything I read, watched, all parts, tools etc.. are attached on PDF doc. 

Note;  highly recommend buy cluster wires from HarnessDr.com and getting equipment from WAMS. 

You can order the rest of the items where you find good deals.  

 

TECH NOTES: 

When you tap into X51L fuse panel at X1;  i recommend takin time to pull fuse panel out.  There are two clips - just figure it out and get it removed - it makes a huge difference getting to x1 and for quick testing.    When you tap into pin #3 (yellow) and #35 (red) -- just solder that joint and tape.  Don't try using those clips - they don't work well and not reliable.  Just peal back wire (careful not to cut) and then wrap your new wire around and solder and tape.  The green wire going into cluster connector in open slot #21 (bigger light green wire) has a pin that clips in - so simple.  Phil at Harness Dr provides the pin for the Green - so you're good.  Just solder the two other connects and you'll be fine.  This was the hardness part - and it really wasn't hard once you read Harness Dr instructions (that come with the  new harness) 

 

I didn't provide photo of project because we've seen all those before - I just posted a few photos of the detail wiring I had not seen before and had to figure out on my own.   

 

Hope this helps!

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By newdude · Posted

      I've installed cheap eBay new aftermarket digitizers before.  They work.  Did a bunch of Cadillac CUE (aka Cadillac's MyLink) for someone years ago.  They all worked fine after the repair.    That number 22740886, that is a component part # for GM.  You can use it to search, but its not something that's obtainable at the dealer level.     So pretty much any of these will work - 2015 Colorado Digitizer for sale | eBay

      Exhaust heat while towing!

      By fondupot · Posted

      You can install tailpipes that direct the exhaust sideways vs the OEM one that goes straight back. There are several on the market, do you own research. HOWEVER, you need to make sure the Venturi vents are still intact, otherwise it will throw a engine code. There is a sensor somewhere that detects back pressure on the exhaust. And if it doesn't collect the correct metrics, it will throw the truck into limp mode.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      "Teardown" is complete. Head surfaces are clean and ready, new intake is prepped and ready. Coolant drained and water pump is removed, radiator is removed, new hoses and pump are ready.   The replacement intake is also from a '95 (with I think 260k, the odometer said). Noticeably less pitting where it covers the rear coolant passages. I'm not sure if that's a tribute to more frequent use, more frequent coolant changes/upkeep, or if the intake was machined at some point. But it appears I found a good one.   My coolant hoses were original, and the lower hose still retained the factory spring inside. It's not really rusty, but it's got deposits all over it. Unsure if I should re-install it (will thoroughly clean it first). Someone said hose technology has gotten better since 1995 (has it?) and I don't need the spring. I think modern EPDM is what made those hoses last from 1995-2026, so it's a question of how much suction can the water pump really pull, and will it collapse the hose without a spring?   I'm stopped and waiting for parts, however.   When I first brought the truck home, the fan was intermittently hitting the radiator shroud. I could see someone had monkeyed with the shroud (put a bunch of cardboard as a spacer between the upper/lower shroud halves. Someone said the motor mounts have likely failed and the engine has sagged. I wasn't sure I believed that. The engine is really solid in its mounts: To remove the old intake I *just* nearly permanently welded to the heads with freshly cured RTV and gasket snot two weeks ago, I literally had to use the arms on my lift and a chain with a bolt attached to the intake to pull it loose. It almost picked the front of the truck off the ground before ....scuuuuuuuuuuup.... I could actually hear the gaskets tearing and it broke loose and the whole truck settled back down. Motor barely moved.   SO, those parts I'm waiting on... The lower radiator mounts/bushings had completely failed. The radiator needs to be insulated from the rad support, and the bushings help the rad stand at the correct height. The plastic "baffle" was also destroyed at some point. Someone had attached the shroud to it incorrectly, overlapping a joint that should have been underlapped, creating another suspect issue potentially causing things to hit the fan. Broken tabs, side is busted off, and it's perma-formed/bent where it was jimmied incorrectly.   The baffle? Unobtainum. Long since discontinued from GM, of course. Aftermarket/capa/chinese? Also unobtanium. In GM's infinite wisdom, it appears there are at least two different variations whether the Blazer is 2 or 4 door, and I can't yet tell if they shared the same part with the S-pickups. Plan B, if I can't find a viable used one, will be to create a bracket to re-assemble the critical joint I need to seal a gap with the shroud. But that will bug me, it won't be...perfect.   The water pump bolts appear to have been installed with...plumber's putty. I guess, sure, if it works...? I've found a few "backyard fixes" like that. Someone's been here before....   If I can't find someone to jam bamboo under my fingernails to fill my free time this week I think I'll install the driver's power window motor and replace the rear door speaker that's inop. I've got a genuine GM "9.5" ohm working replacement. Why GM used a non-standard resistance....nevermind. Of course they did, you can get more sound from a cheap factory amp that way.   And the saga goes on...
