Ok guys. I need help with wiring up the HUD unit. I have 8 wires that come out of the HUD unit. Can anyone help me with a wiring Schematic? The Silverado/Serria did not have HUD as an option. So it is not plug and play like the Yukon/Tahoe guys had.

I will attach a few pictures of my progress so far

You're trying to add the HUD from a yukon to the silverado? Do you know if this has ever been done before? 

 

I have a feeling this might either be a complete pain in the ass to do or will require a stupid amount of work.

I may be wrong, but I believe there is a difference in the windshields. There is a reflective layer in the windshield of vehicles produced with HUD...

HUD will require a different windshield. BlkSS is checking with the Chevrolet dealership in his area to see if the Yukon/ Tahoe/Suburban or Escalade windshields would work in a Silverado/Serria. The dealerships in my area are not that willing to help with technical information. I guess they are worried about liability risk?

I don't know if you're talking to service or parts, but service would probably kick you to the curb. Talking to parts, they should be able to easily cross the part numbers...some places just suck....

The parts department. They try to work with me but when I say this is a custom install. They just know part numbers. I need a parts guy that has been around a few years. Someone use to doing custom work

Have you considered contacting a local auto glass shop (probably not Safelite) and seeing if their part numbers on the windshield is the same for a same year Silverado and Tahoe (without HUD)? Also if by chance the 019 Silverados have the same windshield since HUD is an option on those as well? They/you would probably have to get out the tape measure for that one since they may not have a parts listing for them yet. I seen you posted in the 11 page HUD thread I think if I remember right didn’t somebody say they were exploring the option of a clear film on the inside of the windshield for the display? Might be an opt.

I will give this project my best shot. 

Does anyone have any information on the HUD wiring 

I have this post talk about the wires.It does not give me exactly what wire goes where

I would prefer not to spend another $342 on a wire harness

Keep me posted on this...I had WAMS set my cluster up and I have the switch and the HUD unit.  I just haven't had the time to figure out the wiring and or the install of the HUD unit.  It looks like you have already started modifying the dash?  I believe the current windshield would work if you have the lane departure warning stuff, as there is currently a row of red lights that display on my glass if someone slams on their brakes in front of me.

      Seats matter a lot.  I would start there - good advise here.  I had a 2018 LT Colorado before my 2026 LT Silverado, and the seats are so much better in the new one it's not even a contest.  That was one thing I always hated about the Colorado and I owned two of them spanning 10 years - but I did it so I could park in the garage mainly.  Now I have a much larger property and a huge barn so I have plenty of parking options and a full size is more useful for maintaining the property and current hobbies as well.  I wasn't evenb thinking about the seats as part of the reason for the move to the Silverado, but after two back to back 700mile road trips I am sold on the LT seats w/ leather 100%.  The other LT features are also nice - one thing I really like is the power rear window on the back window by the bed.  And the lighting in the bed is also very nice to have - I doubt that comes on the lower models.  Power tailgate - also quite useful - it's a heavy slug!  What else - I could take or leave the screen - but heated seats and steering wheel and cruise control on the steering wheel is very useable - I would never want to live without that.  Even the colorados had that.

      I think the ship has sailed on the fuel injection type - everything is getting direct now.  Does it help with mpg?  Not really and nobody buying a HD truck really cares anyway.  But that is what it is at this point.  Piston rings is something they may well adjust over time to get them right.

      I don’t have detailed measurement data, but this past March we were hiking and camping in Death Valley and the Las Vegas area when this Spring’s heat wave hit with 105 plus temperatures and our 2021 L8T system kept our crew cab as cool as we wanted it (68F setting) with no trouble. Fan flows on auto once stabilized were fairly low. It seems like the OP’s system should be performing better.

      Yes that's correct on the route to Durango - we just followed what google maps recommended.  That is quite the pass btw - very steep going back down.  I didn't even need manual mode - I just used cruise control and set the truck at 50 I think when it was a 45 posted speed and for the most part it just held it there by keeping it in the right gear - everyonce in awhile there is a sharper turn that I just braked for - but it was pretty smooth going down it on both sides.  Amazing views around there for sure - we had no real time to stop, were on the clock for a set-up time, but we did stop in some 2 horse town somewhere a couple hours oustide of Durango in the middle of nowhere for burgers.   And yes - lots up up and downs on the Durango trip but I think it's a big difference going 70 vs. going 80-83 with the aero in play with these big trucks.  Even the much smaller Colorado does reallt bad on gas going up over 70, I think I would have been lucky to get 18 on that trip in the Colorado honestly.  The full size is definately more comfy for a long road trip too, and the amount of gear we had would have meant two vehicles if I still had the Colorado.

      I'm not sure what my temps were, but it would take my 2024 about 4-5 miles of driving before my AC started cooling. They replaced my compressor under warranty.
