2018 2500 hd. The very thin plastic lens on my gauge cluster is cracked. GM says I have to buy an entire instrument cluster. Does anyone know where to get just the clear lens? 

Thanks

I think this ebay part is the part that the lens attaches to. I just need the clear lens. I haven't removed the cluster yet to see if it's 2 parts. Maybe someone knows? Would be great if the lens was included with this part. Email to seller sent. Thanks for the link.

Looks like the LENS and Bezel are all one piece.  On my '91 Chevy K1500 the IP (Instrument Panel) LENS was a separate part than fastened onto the bezel with screws.

The LENS in the link above is for standard the non-tach cluster in '91.  Another LENS part number is required for the '91 optional Tach cluster.

Agreed the 96 1500 I'm replacing is 2 parts as well. It's crazy how thin this part is. Barely hit it. I have an email in to the seller to verify that the part fits. I hope so, I've only had the 2500 for 3 weeks <2000miles. *&%$ happens.

Hope it is the correct part.  Probably heard this a million times - Take your time replacing this piece.  Good luck with it!

Just finished putting it in. Perfect match. Very easy to do. Took about 20 minutes taking my time.

Thanks for the eBay search, I had never used it before.

      Today I filled up with 4.899 gallons of fuel at a cost of $4.899 a gallon. $24 bucks. 290 miles. 59.2 mpg. After my 4% COSTCO discount just under eight cents a mile.

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.

      Checked the pads today and there's plenty of meat on them. If the message keeps coming up, I'll just answer YES that the pads were replaced and wait for the squeal.
