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

 

I ordered all the required parts from https://www.whiteautoandmedia.com/shop/ (WAMS) and color schemes for my vehicle (cocoa) - and the custom wire harness from HarnessDr.com

https://harnessdr.com/product/2014-2018-silverado-sierra-hud-retrofit-harness/

 

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 of course 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 taking 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 putting back together 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 peel back wire (careful not to cut) and then wrap your new wire around and solder and tape to protect.  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 wire -  so you're good.  Just solder the two connects @ # and #35 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!

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

      GM Hard Folding Tonneau by REV review

      This is a really late reply but I just found this thread. They won't sell the hinges. I've gone 7 rounds with them. Their solution is to buy a new cover. I'm about to buy a new cover and it won't be a Bakflip. It also won't be from realtruck.com.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.
