Has anyone tried to add the HUD to your 1500?  Doing some research and found the 2015, but I'm not sure if the dash pad has changed, the HUD is a different PN.  I am going by the 2020 PN.  I cannot verify the part numbers for the 2021 since the fiche like lead you to the accessories catalogue.  I started with - 2015 Silverado with HUD retrofit/upgrade. - 2014 - 2019 Silverado & Sierra - GM-Trucks.com (gm-trucks.com)

 

I am Looking at the following PNs:

Mount Bracket: 23407367                                           $65
Driver Information Display Switch: 84456360          $31
Instrument Cluster: 84804721                                    $412
Instrument Panel: 84553050                                       $280   Has dash panel, HUD trim bezel, and mounting strip
Cluster Visor: 84054788                                               $70 Designed for HUD
Head-up Display: 84395830                                         $510
Reinforced Beam Deflector: 23387335                      $10
Outlet Duct: 23391609                                                  $24  - I think this allows you to keep the Drivers side left defroster
Windshield: 84398043                                                 $394
 
Maybe:
Reinforced Beam: 23387334                                       $339 -  Possible has bracket tabs for HUD - Alleviating the need to remove Driver side defrost vent.  - Might be able to add own brackets.
 
WAM VIN Programmed                                                $200 + &80 round shipping
Phil’s custom harness                                                  $150 -2014 - 2018 Silverado / Sierra - HUD Retrofit Harness - Harness Dr. - DIY Done Right  
 
* Phil is designing  a 2021 HUD Harness
 
I have probably missed some things - Like where to mount HUD controls and what bracket is needed.
These above PNs are gleaned off of a 2020 GMC Denali 1500, not a 2021.  Can anyone verify that the PNs remain the same for 2021?
 
Thanks I appreciate the help and meeting you all.

FYI.  If you were polarized sunglasses, you won't be able to see the HUD.  My ZL1 has a HUD and I barely use it, never use it on the street because I wear polarized glasses and never use it at night..  I've used it at the road course a couple of times but never really paid attention to it.

 

Calling the dealer or going by and giving them the parts numbers and ask them if they are the same as a 2021 would be the best thing to do.

Good points on dealer.  Giving my VIN wouldn't help.  Giving PNs to parts guy would.  I am used to HUD.  Had it on a C6 and a C7.  

 

Thanks all

Depends on how clear you want the HUD to be.  I had no issues with my C6 and non-HUD windshield.  But I did eventually replace it.  I was of the understanding that a tint would achieve the same results.    I hear you though.

I used the following PNs:

All worked well.  Phil's harness works like a charm. There is only 1 screw point to the frame for the HUD bracket.   I used some Ebay parts so the prices was lower.  Best bet is to get dash from GM since parts yards want 150 to ship.  It has a bit less in the display options as compared to a C7 Corvette.

I have successfully  installed the WAMS cluster, harness, and upgraded the steering wheel to get audio controls functional.  I have ordered the Head-Up Display from Nordstromauto and HUD harness from HarnessDr.

 

Wanting to confirm something before I pull the trigger on ordering remaining list.  Following a couple of the parts list, they all reference the w/o HUD cluster visor.   I 'm grateful for the shared info and advise. 

 

Is the cluster visor the correct part number for the HUD? 

Soft touch, without head-up display, black. With leather, without head-up display black.

Should I get?:

Polarized glasses will dim the HUD to your eyes but it's still visible.

      Software Update

      By kickass audio · Posted

      when it's greyed out that is it's way of telling you that it's downloading the patch in the background. Eventually it will be fully downloaded and then it will prompt you at ignition shut down to run the update. I highly recommend doing the update once you get home and can run it a few times. I've had several issues with updates not going the first time around and I had to retry the update multiple times in my driveway before it was successful.   Some updates are huge and take awhile to download. You can help it by connecting to your home WiFi and keep the truck on service mode for the ignition and keep it alive for awhile on a battery charger too. There are specs it needs to be in for updating such as a full enough battery charge, no running ignition, etc.

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am not techy at all but wondered if you have the truck running but sitting still in park as some functions gray out as soon as the truck is moving. I believe in the settings for updates you can choose for it NOT to update and I wonder by chance if maybe that was chosen before and now it won't allow you to chose to press update, I think that is back in the settings menu where it has all the items one wants on or off etc. Also I assume you have a wifi connection and checked that it has some signal strength, not that it would have anything to do with the grayed out updates choice in that case. What I am thinking out loud of here may be be of no value but thought I would suggest it, sometimes it can be the simplest thing that resolves an issue.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      The so called rare failure that some certainly liked to tout ( die hard Ford fan boys ) as per the lifter failing and wiping out the cam. Back when it started happening the blame was being pointed to the lifters and honestly I never did hear anything myself conclusively one way or the other on that. Ford themselves in I believe 2024 had a technical bulletin I will call it that came out and for some engine platforms they were reprograming the engines idle speed but also they had a software update for the oil pump which then some time later was said what that software update did as to be increasing the oil pressure at idle. It is a good question if that issue was completely solved as one Ford specialist mechanic youtuber said he saw failures after that time period. Like anything there would be the variables, what oil is being used and the OCI and how much idle time gets put on an engine. I've seen some comments to claim that the L8T isn't so happy with high idle time either but I also know that companies that require their vehicle to idle a lot on the job don't tend to get the oil changed often enough for all those hours of idle time and go off of the odometer.

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By bwiese · Posted

      My 2026 Silv. 1500 WT (reg cab/short bed/4wd) has the 40/20/40 with storage in lower middle seat as well as the fold-down center bolster/armrest.   With the dual glove boxes this is about as much storage as possible in a std cab IMHO. Bill

      2026 Silv. 1500 WT reg cab: how many speakers do I have? Is amp module separate?

      By bwiese · Posted

      I have a 2026 base 1500 "WT" regular cab with basic Chevy "Infotainment 3" 7-inch screen/radio. How many speakers do I have If I want to upgrade? Is the audio amp separate from the radio/display unit]? [I listen to classical and it gets a bit raspy at slightly higher volumes. Don't need a sub etc.] Do I have two or 1 speakers in the doors? etc. Thanks Bill  San Jose
