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.

      The Peckish Synapse

      One of the few things I enjoyed about my time in the midwest was taking off on weekend drives. Unlike home, where we are boxed in by mountains and water, those rules don't apply to the inland plains. Roads connect and sprawl everywhere. While Minnesota is flat, it's not completely featureless and there are fast moving rural roads with curves and slight elevation changes. I used to relish heading out in a particular direction with no set destination, no curfew, and weaving through little townships, wherever the roads would take me. Along farms, lakes, or through the deciduous trees... It was beautiful in its own way, and the seasons were so distinct there. Fall drives yielded amazing shows of color and contrast. Summer drives rewarded with the and amber evening glow of the prairie (and lots of juicy bugs).    I do a lot of that here in my home state too. But it's much less mysterious/intriguing. I've traveled most roads in the region, and every road that's fun to drive within a good radius of my house. But every drive, even on the same old roads, is still enjoyable. I know where I can lean hard into the throttle or really throw the car into a curve. There are exercise loops for when I just need to keep certain cars limber, and much longer routes to settle in and enjoy a drive and put some miles on. All the mountains and water make for some really awesome roads for spirited driving. But not all my driving is spirited, for example, that's not really enjoyable in my pickup or this Blazer (that's still here...).   Sometimes a good drive is followed by a ritualistic wash before tucking the car away...

      L8S For 2027

      By C/K Man · Posted

      'GMAuthority' is reporting the 2027 HD's will have the L8S 6.6L gasoline V-8.  There was some talk here about the L8S awhile back.  Not sure what changes it will have now as it seems the 2027 emissions regulations have changed from what was originally proposed.  The big question will be is L8S just a stopgap for the last 2 years of the current T1 HD platform or will it carry forward to the next generation 2029 T1-2 HD's?    I assume the L8S will still be a Gen. V engine.

      New Duramax rumor?

      New engines will still be using DEF. You just won't have the limp modes occurring when you run out of DEF now.

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      I am not a NOCO fan for a charger I would leave on a battery 24/7. The reason is, it doesn't really float. It waits until the battery drops to a certain voltage and then charges it back up to 14V. It's better than no charger I guess.

      I would never do anything but lithium.   If the vehicle is stored, just turn the disconnect off. My batteries are completely disconnected form everything in the trailer when my disconnect is off. Trailers don't always come that way as some still keep the CO/LPG monitor on. When mine is off...it is off.   As far as storage temps, LiFePO4 are good down to -20°C. I would store them in a heated place if it goes below that. You can also get heating mats with a thermostat if power is available.   The way the heaters work, if it's below 0°C, if a charge comes in, it is directed entirely to the heater until the battery gets above 0°C and then it allows the charge to go to the battery.   For my Android tablet I use as a display, I can move it inside my house if I was ever in an area that got super cold.
