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?

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
