The interior needed a few upgrades, I added a high country cluster from wams and a ltz steering wheel. Added a wire from the cluster connector to the clock spring ( harness dr) and now the stereo/phone wheel buttons work. Also changed the stereo bezel to match the steering wheel. 

 

I did the clazzio leather heated seat kit, they fit super nice and as you sit in em more they fit better as you can tighten them. This is when I 1st installed them.

Hey Flatblack..! 

I have also done the steering wheel, I just received the wire to do the Instrument Cluster swap and have also ordered the new cluster from White Media, I also would like to upgrade some of my Dash pieces and including the Radio/Stereo Bezel, Do you happen to have the part number, and did you find it on eBay or an GM-OEM Online parts store.

The vin # they used for the steering wheel they used for the stereo trim piece.  The color is synthesis, im pretty sure this is the # 23387904.

Thanks Flatblack, you know I have a Synthesis Center Bezel but the edges don't have the chrome color edgesd like they apparently did on the 2019-2020 Silverados as you can see from my Center Bezel, it is the synthesis with no chrome edges, can you confirm that your is different than mine, thanks..!!!

I'll get you a pic in the am, yours looks like what mine came with. Like a darker grayish color. Palladium I think it's called.

Okay thanks, I am intrigued by this puzzle, as I'm also interested in doing the entire dash just like this guy named Matt who has is own channel on Youtube called MonsterTek, and he gives the complete part numbers for most of the pieces on the dash that have the chrome look with soft leather instead of plastic, except for the Center/Radio Bezel.

 

Large leather dash pad for drivers side = GM 84420199

Soft touch leather upper glove box door = GM 84539639

Small leather dash pad for drivers side = GM 84266580

Instrument cluster visor leather = GM 84054788

 

After visiting some GM OEM online parts stores, I have found that apparently there are 3 different colors available for 2019-2020 Silverado and Sierra 1500s.

 

1. Bronze

2. Liquid Palladium 

3. Synthesis

You need the wire and cluster.

That's a shame that we can't add steering wheel radio controls without upgrading the cluster.  Seems strange to me that the cluster would have something to do with decoding the steering wheel controls for the audio system.  I really want the audio control buttons, but have no desire to change my gauges.

 

Maybe WAMS can come up with a way to reprogram the stock cluster to make the steering wheel radio controls work?

 

I bought hardware and was going to sniff the CANbus on my friend's RST to see if the steering wheel buttons just transmit commands onto the CANbus for the audio system.  I was then going to try to replay those commands on my Custom Trail Boss to see if it will control the IOR radio.  Haven't had time to play around with this yet though.

I doubt that will work, it needs the lin bus circuit for the buttons to work. With out adding the wire its not going to. That wire makes everything on that side of the wheel work.  The only thing that doesn't work is the heated wheel, that's another can of worms.

 

The factory cluster won't work since its not setup for that, it doesn't use wheel controls since it has the dial.

 

I'd imagine the cluster from an lt would work but I'm not sure, you would need to speak with wams about. A programmed lt cluster from them would save a few bucks of they do it.

 

I know 1k is alot for just that to work but that cluster is really nice. Wheel buttons for the volume and the phone is what makes it..lol..  The best part I think is when you put it in tow haul mode the battery gauge turns into the trans temp. Pretty nice when towing.

I did a few more upgrades to my Double-cab Custom earlier this week.  Before and after:

Oh wait, no...  I actually traded in my Custom "looks like a TB" in on an actual TB!  LOL

 

I liked my Custom and I had it looking about the way I wanted, but I got tired of hearing my teenagers complain about legroom and my 4'11" wife complaining about not being able to see over the hood when driving.  So I knew I had to go Crew Cab and LT (adj drivers seat), but I decided to go all the way and make it a TB too.  About the only mods is de-badged, tint and muffler delete.  I already have Westin HDX steps on the way...  Anyone know the story behind a TB with no TB bed sticker?!?!

I definitely haven't done enough research on this, so I'm confused about one thing:  How do the cruise control buttons function?  I had ASSumed that the cruise control buttons would use the same communications bus that the audio control buttons on the steering wheel would use, but apparently that's not the case.   

 

Do the cruise control buttons also use LIN, but go to a different LIN master controller than the audio control buttons?  Or are the cruise control buttons communicating directly on the CAN bus?

 

** edit ** - Looked at the gmupfitter documents and I see that the cruise control buttons are on a separate bus, and connected to pin 11 on the clockspring (X85 X1) connector.  And I see that the audio controls are on LIN Bus 12 (pin 9), while the heated steering wheel is on LIN Bus 19 (pin 10).

 

From what you guys are saying about having to switch to the expensive gauge cluster, I'm guessing that the gauge cluster is the LIN master controller for the audio control buttons, which would then send the commands out on the CAN bus for the audio system to digest.  ** edit ** - Apparently the gauge cluster is the LIN master for bus 12, but the data is actually broadcast on the vehicle's Ethernet bus.

 

Either way, I still plan on sniffing the CAN bus on my friends LT truck to see if audio control button codes can be observed there.

The new truck looks good!  I have never heard of a TB not having the TB bed sticker.  Interesting.

 

I miss not having some features of the LT, but I liked the front end looks so much better on my Custom TB.  And the price difference was substantial....

They operate separately,  so does the heated wheel. You need to run a wire from the cluster harness plug to the clock spring. Also need tho a better cluster if you have a custom.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By Keith179 · Posted

      I’m out of ideas on this truck. 2020 Silverado 1500. 5.3 135,000 miles. Has a p0308 and p050d codes. Smokes From exhaust when cold. Compression test passed. New plugs, wires and coil on cyl 8. Same issue. New coil on 8, no change. Replaced injectors, no change. Bore scope showed oil pooled on the piston after sitting overnight. Pulled head and had machine shop check it out. No cracks. Stem seals looked good, replaced anyways. He also ground valve seats. Put it all back together and still have the same issue. Bore scope shows oil on the piston again. Leaning towards maybe a cracked ring but unsure. Cylinder looked good when the head was off, no scoring or scratches. Any ideas on what else I should look for?  Appreciate the help

      2021 Silverado 2.7L – N232395310 – Can someone with GM dealer access check my VIN?

      By HeronLeal · Posted

      Just want to make sure it is covered by Special Coverage N232395310 Evaporative Emission Purge Pump 2021 Silverado 1500 Custom 2.7L L3B ~100k miles I'm getting DTCs P146B and P146F. VIN 3GCPWBEK2MGxxxxxx   I spoke to a person that works at GM and he said it is not covered after checking my VIN.   Is there anyone here who currently works for a GM/Chevrolet dealership and has access to GM Global Warranty Management / Investigate Vehicle History who could explain how the VIN eligibility is determined?   thank you

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all that information, I might purchase one and see if it will work for me, if not they may let me return it! Yes for sure the tires are definitely within limit for my truck empty, and when I do tow I'll definitely make sure to raise the rear psi for the amount of weight that's going to be on it.

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes exactly, more and more these days people/companies are afraid of liability issues so its easier just to say no rather than risk putting their neck on the line.    I will say with the Autel unit or when I used it last year on my truck, it wasn't like I could choose the 2025 model year or even the 2024 model year as that option was not there to manipulate the placard pressures but had to go back to 2023 or there abouts and then it showed up as an option, odd but that was how the software was then and I can't say one way or the other now as they throw out updates every so often. I still would talk to your tire dealer though to start with and they may do it for nothing but also they may have a comment on a better unit to purchase. All I know is that one of the large tire shops in my area happens to use these Autel units for their use and set them up to use the wifi and all of that jazz for constant updating because each tire tech has one handed to them by the shop but I just plugged it into my laptop to update it and yes if one is bought it has to be registered so you can get the link to do updates and then the unit has to be updated before its even used. I am not at all techy so it took me a bit but anyway just a heads up for anything you buy, most likely it will need to be connected to a computer to access the internet to have it updated to the latest software version before you can put it to use.   If your truck is near empty, those tire pressures you listed are a very safe upper range pressures to carry the weight, both the front and rear as I know they could be run lower yet with an empty truck. And if its a trailer and not some motorcycle your going to strap onto the front of your truck on a rack, you shouldn't have a need to inflate your front tires if your at 55 front already, its the rear ones that would need more air if you have much hitch weight.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thank you, I'll check that Autel scanner out and see if it will work for me! Ya I can see GM's point of view if they lower the psi set value for someone and the person sell's the truck and the new owner puts the factory tires back on then their could be liability issues cause the psi warning light wasn't coming on when the tires were under inflated for towing their load and then it might be able to be traced back to GM lowering it.
