Installed on my 2014 Silverado LT

Really recommend the upgrade for sure, the upgraded hmi2.5 is faster, Apple carplay also a ????????  and the Denali Cluster makes for a major upgrade to the dash look!! Really recommend the hmi2.5 With navigation because u can also use the navigation on the Denali Cluster might aswell do it right and go all in the first time. (Unlocking the hmi also allows for you to watch movies while driving ?????? Last photo)

For anyone interested I believe I will have the ability to do programming very soon. I have made quite a bit of progress and hope to have the reprogramming method refined and ready within the next few

Making even more progress! HMI has been updated to the newest software, which means Wifi compatibility ! OTA updates are enabled, meaning you will receive all future software updates for the HMI over

For anyone following along I am once again waiting for parts. I was having issues with the radio module I had originally ordered. A new module is on order and should be installed and ready to go by th

If your streaming music from your phone, you can’t skip tracks with the steering wheel controls either. Once it’s programmed, it’ll work 100%. 

I was able to skip tracks on Pandora today. I also discovered hey Siri works. I don’t have an Android phone or other streaming apps, so my experience is limited at this point.

Anyone have a good link for Denali instrument clusters, other than WAMS or Coastal? I’m looking for a used 2017 and just have it reprogrammed. I may have missed some of the other links.

It's a bit cumbersome to find exactly what you're looking for, but car-part.com is where I found mine and the price with shipping was very reasonable compared to other sources.

Okay cool Thanks! I’ve been looking high and low and everything out there seems to be anything but 16

If you need any tips on searching let me know.  It's a bit of a pain because you have to call around to the junk yards to get solid info once you do find the right part, but I found one pretty quick and got a good deal on it.

Huh.  That's weird.  I know I did have to mess around with years and interchange/non-interchange before I found the right thing.  I searched trucks as well as the SUVs.  Maybe there just aren't any now, but there were tons when I got mine.  I went with a '16 Denali cluster 23407872 for my 2015 Yukon.  It would be nice if you could simply search by part number on car-part.com but I'm not aware of a way to do so.

Is there a way to add YouTube to the apps list?

I don't think you can add any video streaming apps to CarPlay. The only way to do it is to jailbreak your phone first and download apps outside of the Apple store.

Now that I have the 2.5 module installed, is there any value in my IO6 2.0 module that I removed? I figured the Nav module might be worth something. It would be nice if I could re-coup some of the money I spent.

I sold my 2.0 IO6 hmi on eBay for about what I paid for my 2.5 IO6 hmi on eBay. Seems like around $200 of my memory serves me.

Okay, so I have an Android phone. I was hoping to figure a way to add YouTube to the head unit or modules. Or Add it to the car play when I decide to go ahead and move forward with that upgrade. . Reason being is I noticed that YouTube and using an aux cord or just Bluetooth and YouTube provides a considerably higher volume output with more clarity IE more bass and clear vocals.

Android Auto has significantly more options available since you can download open source apps. You would likely be able to run YT with a widely available app.

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
