Looks awesome. . .  and like a very expensive endeavor

There are several hundred in the field now. The biggest issue we've seen is someone ordered a Denali Style but liked the High Country style better so make sure you know what you are ordering

How hard is the actual physical swap? Does anything need to be done with the odometer so it is accurate?

The actual swap is not so complicated but radio will have to be removed

how come the radio needs to be removed to change the instrument cluster?

Does the blank white speed sign on the left show then current speed limit for the road as the car is traveling?

 

Otherwise, the Denali cluster shown doesn't interface 100% with the Silverado DIC settings. That blank white sign with the two dashes is the posted speed limit sign for the current road. Interfaces with the factory Nav system in the vehicle and can be shown along the mph in the cluster or hidden and shown in a separate info screen. Personally I find it annoying and move it to a separate info screen and the tiny mph figures enlarge accordingly to fill the space.

 

 

Updated the Traverse factory Nav and one of the posted speed limits also changed on the icon indicating it feeds off the Nav software and not the satellite antenna (may work with OnStar subscription? but you still need the settings in the DIC.. Unless an LTZ, no factory Navs in the '19 and no pages in the DIC for showing it or placing it on the screen

The speed limit data is always provided by the map, not by the satellite signal.  GPS satellites don't know or care where you are, they only know where they are, and broadcast beacons that tell your GPS computer what time it is where the satellite is.  Your GPS computer times beacons from multiple satellites to triangulate where you are and place your position onto a pretty map provided by your SD card.  Without a map you can only know your location in latitude/longitude/elevation.  Hiking GPSs are useful this way because they can still track you and backtrack you out even when the place you're at isn't on any map.  The more satellites you can receive signals from, the better your computer will be able to calculate your precise position.

 

Two dashes means at the time the map was assembled for your device data on the speed limit for your current road segment wasn't available, or was trimmed out to save storage on the map media.  I see it often enough on a truck that came with the high cluster, nothing to do with the retrofit I assume.

Same here, half the roads in town don’t show speed limits. And the other half are often outdated / inaccurate. Not a great feature but I do leave it displayed in HUD because something has to fill that space.

 

There isn’t any functional difference between the GMC and Chevy uplevel clusters. But because you cannot get that cluster without nav, I’m curious if the speed limit sign is just permanently there and empty on the home screen if the truck has IOR or IOS (non-upgraded to IOT) infotainment.

 

With the midlevel (small screen) cluster, navigation trucks get do get the speed limit signs and nav page. But non-nav trucks don’t have the empty sign sitting there all the time because there are two different cluster “display modes”, if you will, depending upon the infotainment installed.

 

If the uplevel cluster doesn’t have a “display mode” for a non-nav truck, presumably those upgrading to this cluster will be stuck looking at empty speed limit signs on the home page unless they have IOT or an upgraded IOS system?

So in the past (for dealers) we have always set them up as IOT so that if you had an IOS system and upgraded or an IOR and went full on crazy and redid it all you wouldn't have to send the cluster back. We have reversed that for consumers as it was a bit annoying with IOR to have menus that didnt do anything so unless you EXPLICITLY say (which reminds me we need to add that to the website!) you want to upgrade later we are programming them exactly for your AS BUILT config so everything matches and you dont have unused menus.

The radio trim with leather sits on top of the trim that goes around the speedometer that’s why it needs to be removed

Correct most roads don’t have the speed limit updated but the white sign can always be removed in settings if that bothers you

BMW service loaner I had had the speed limit display feature and used actual cameras to read signs. It was slick and very accurate. I would think GM could implement something similar and use it across all cars..

Nice. I just got my cluster in, time to send to WAM.

Where did you get yours? I am having a hard time even finding a new one.

Is there an instrument cluster that’s compatible with my super basic base one? I have an IOR 7” infotainment as well. And have the part number for it?

Interested in doing this, but can't seem to find any HC clusters or Denali for that matter.  Anyone got any leads on a HC one?

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.

      "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
