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?

 

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.

 

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.

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.

 

 

Well, that wasn't the level of technical information that I was seeking.  :)  

 

Yes, I understand that you needed to run a wire from the cluster harness plug to the clock spring on the steering wheel in order to make the steering wheel audio controls work with the upgraded cluster that has been reprogrammed by White Automotive.

 

I was hoping to learn about how the audio control buttons differ from the cruise control buttons in terms of signal topology.

 

I'm guessing that the cruise control buttons and the audio control buttons are both LIN devices, but attached to different LIN controllers.

 

Since pin 9 on the clockspring controller seems to be connected to the LIN bus for the steering wheel audio controls, I'm hoping that I could create a standalone LIN to CAN translator device to read the steering wheel buttons from that pin 9, and send the correct corresponding CAN signals to the audio system (after somehow connecting to the CAN bus).  That way I would not need to purchase the instrument panel upgrade.

Im not sure if it's right to put this all here or not.   Here are a few post from doing mods to my 2019.  First I did silver tailgate letters and removed the emblems, they come right off wit

Well jimbo, I dunno what to tell you. I never looked at how the stuff that already works worked...lol.  I just know what I needed to do to get what didn't work to work...lol

I did a few changes in the last few weeks, I picked up a set of gm new trailboss ranchos, trailboss cv shafts, 2.0 trailboss leveling kit , 2.5 rear blocks and xl9000 rear shocks.

 

Removing the icon stuff wasn't the original idea but the current setup rides pretty nice and it looks good. Yes it handled and felt more controlled with the icons but its pretty soft and smooth now.

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....

 I do like the look of the front end of the Custom!  Also, I found a thread on taking the Trail Boss sticker off the bed.  I thought it was under the clear coat and couldn't be removed.  I was wrong. :)

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.

Did you get the heat button to work on the steering wheel?

No, ran power to it and the switch doesn't light up and the wheel doesn't work....  sorry... its a shame since everything else works.

From the little bit of research that I did as seen here:

It appears that you'll need to connect the LIN Bus 19 line.  It needs to run from the X85 clockspring connector pin 10 (Circuit 4119 GN/BU size 0.35, LIN Bus 19) to K33 HVAC Control Module X2 pin 6.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      Gas fill door

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
