I have a 2021 and would love a HUD too. Some guys I know at the dealer say to go with a after market one. I just do not know which is the best if I go that way. From my research you need a harness from (Harnessdr.com) parts from whiteautoandmedia.co) and the dash parts from the dealer. Plus new windshield.

I thought the HUD needed special glass as it has reflective material in it to make the HUD show. When I had it in my G8 the glass people asked if I had a HUD or not. I like mine but turn signals would be nice.

HUD is a great feature.  Others have listed the reasons in posts above so I won't repeat them.  The windshield is specially made for the HUD and is more expensive if it has to be replaced.  I had the windshield in my 04 Corvette replaced when it was almost new and the windshield for it was almost $1000.00 at the time.  But then all damage is expensive on today's trucks and that's why we have insurance.

We all can debate is it worth doing,  the mighty cost of it will dive it in to yes or no column for many.  but does any know if it can be completed with the end user , by just buying the part an install them our selves? 

 

We can change out our display,  which links to HUB but that is all I know.  Does any one else have any information?

I'm a little spoiled by my old 2014 BMW's HUD, so in comparison, Chevy's version IMO is severely lacking.  I had it in my '21 1500, left it off the '22 3500HD.

It's definitely something that can't be easily added. You first off have to have the ability in the onboard computer to operate it. Second you need a different dash as the top has a large opening with a screen for the camera/projector below it. And as was mentioned earlier you need the windshield made for this. I have been installing windshields for 35 years and you have to use a specific windshield for the HUD to work.

I have been putting together the part list, if your have a digital Cluster already and programmed for it,  I am some ware around the below:

 $650-700 for the projector, cables, frame and switch

$700-$800 for dashboard from a take off Ebay need to find one cheaper.

???? windshield,  there may be a work around with film overlay placement.

 

I just finished upgrading my Cluster to the LTZ/High country,  found a take off for $200, sent it out to be programmed $200, for $50 more they will add other options and include the HUD programming as well so my cluster is preprogrammed for it.

 

The mirror camera upgrade is next, after that I might slowly start getting the parts for the HUD.

 

Need to find better pricing on the parts.

I'm not sure about a special windshield, as I just had my 22 3500HD's windshield tinted and the HUD actually shows up a little better I think because of it.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I find it amusing the OP doesn’t realize this threads heading includes several engines. He should have posted in the off topic section if he wanted a more narrow focus. I really appreciate and find amusing that he actually pointed out one of my many vehicles. The Odyssey. That happens to use 0-20 oil. I love pushing his buttons.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.
