What is the price difference, assuming standard coding, between programming a used unit vs. a new one?  This will help make it easier to justify buying new vs used.

 

I would hate to source a used unit just to discover the end cost ends up being nearly the same as just buying a new unit.

It’s $100 price difference. If you go to their site and chose cluster programming, it’ll have a drop down for used (+$100)

PLEASE DO NOT CLUTTER THIS THREAD UP WITH ANYTHING THAT IS NOT DIRECTLY RELATED TO FITMENT OR TECHNICAL QUESTIONS ETC.

 

The whole reason I had to make this thread was because of that happening on the other post; thanks!

Hi all, I just want to make sure I am understanding this correctly.  I have at 2015 Sierra SLE 1500 z71 4x4 (V8 flex fuel).  I believe the info below states that part number 23301138 would work for my truck.  Am I reading that correctly?  Please correct me if that is wrong.  THX

 

2015.5 (Trucks with RPO AVF and/or VV4) GAS US SPEC -DENALI RED

I have a 2017 GMC Sierra SLT I found two clusters one for a 2017 Sierra and one for a 2017 Yukon. Both numbers are 84166518. It doesn’t match up to the numbers you have posted but they are only one number off of the 84166517. Am I missing something or will that work for the swap?

@BluEyeItln, if you have those RPO code(s), then yes as those are just superceded P/Ns with each step down.

@Dana Helmly Jr., Chris posted US cluster P/Ns.  My experience has been with 1 number off is the difference between US (MPH) vs KPH clusters.  US clusters will be 0-140 and KPH I believe is 0-200.

You are correct on the speed my oem is to 140 mph the one I found says 200 mph. It actually has MPH on the cluster. So I’m assuming that will work then. Don’t really need it to say 200 not like I’m gonna get near that.

Hmm. That just seems fishy. They never made one that shows 200 MPH. Take a screenshot and post the pick for us.

I just picked up a 2018 SLT 5.3L that came with the Canada/metric cluster (see pic). I'd love to upgrade to the Denali cluster (who wants to read their oil pressure in kilopascals? lol). I see there are three part numbers listed for the 2018 US gas spec. Which one should I look for? Are there differences in features between the three?

 

Thanks!

 

EDIT: 

It looks like this is the difference between the three part numbers:

84298306 original to 1500 4.3, 5.3, and 6.2

84380246 unsure, part seems to be discontinued

84385167 original to 2500/3500 6.0

 

I found a new 84385167 for sale on eBay. Will this work with my 1500 5.3L?

    • Hey guys, sorry for the confusison about this. This wasn't my experainnce, it was copied and pasted fom the net. 
    • The problem with failure rates or increase failures are there’s people who don’t have a problem. What are you doing wrong they say. We had 4 5.7 GM diesel’s in the family when they came out. One was flawless. My uncle who happened to be the most abusive. Early rotary engines were known to use oil. I abused my first car so bad in six months I replaced the clutch, transmission and rear end. It didn’t use oil. My brother in law has a 2013 Tahoe and an older Yukon. The Yukon has 280K miles. The Tahoe around 175K. He runs them to about 300K. If his lifters fail before that time he would consider it a failure. My Hondas, I know people hate it when I mention them. Identical engines. One with cylinder deactivation one doesn’t have it. One shudders when the eco light goes on or off. Cylinder deactivation. But wait! According to the web. It can happen with lock up too. So now people in the know are changing the oil and transmission fluid more often. Then you read it could be a programing issue. So what do you do? There’s lots of money involved. I see three ways to deal with it. One only works if you don’t drive lots of miles. Lease, never get out of warranty. Or only buy older vehicles with a good track record. They all have bad runs. Usually when there’s a change. Even Toyota and Honda. 
    • Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/        
    • UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update  
    • GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.
