Yes, you are correct. There was no BCM programming required. Cluster and park assist module require programming. The Cluster requires the feature to be added and the park assist module needs to be associated with the vehicles vin.

Awesome! Great work and awesome details you’ve provided!

Phil, you had some fantastic content that helped jumpstart the idea, so thank you very much for the inspiration. These are fun projects that help people get the features they want out of their trucks.

Looks like I'll be helping two local members with this upgrade.  Fun times! [emoji4] [mention=170974]DBrach[/mention] and [mention=154140]Viktorrocks15[/mention]

I’m really excited about this retrofit. [emoji1303][emoji1320]

Geez, can't believe it's been 4 years @pgamboa! You ready to do this?!

I’m in the process of researching this very same project for my 2022 GMC 2500HD. It was not ordered with park assist.  I’m starting to acquire the parts; have replaced the bumper and rear harness with a sensor-equipped wiring. It appears the frame harness has all the wiring going to the front end; have not looked at the front end termination yet (or even found it).

 

One of my biggest challenges is going is retrofitting the center stack dash switches to accommodate a park assist button. The nine switches are arranged in sets of three switch modules: left, center, and right. Park assist is always on the left third of the three modules. 

 

My truck now has a descent control button and two blanks in the left switch. I’ve acquired two other switch modules (one with park assist and the auto start/stop buttons; one with just the descent crtl ) and am hoping to make one switch from two that will contain the descent crtl and park assist buttons; the third will be blank. I will have to add pins to the switch module. 

 

I’ve not yet looked at the 371L plug behind the left module, but have the pin configuration. I’m hoping it is wired for all the possible buttons in the left switch, so I’ll just have to add pins to the module accordingly.  Again, this is going to be a challenge; I just picked up the switch modules yesterday and have not yet attempted to disassemble them. 

 

I’ve watched the referenced videos in this chat; great reference, as is this chat. Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    • I never understood the hate for the column shifter. The console shifter just gets in the way, takes up prime cargo space and in my wife's Jeep, the dog constantly bumps the console shifter into neutral!    Best choice ever to just make it a column shifter across the lineup and be done with it.    (Bonus: Makes swapping from a 5 seater to a six seater far easier)
    • I had an 88 K1500 with a 5.7 that had those symptoms, I know totally different, it ended up being the ECM. Once you get the fuel system fixed if it still runs lousy you may want to investigate that. it didn't set any codes, stalled ,ran rough at times etc
    • Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-
    • Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.
