Anyone have a guess as to whether the steering wheel & harness upgrade to control the radio will work without changing the cluster. I want to do the cluster but not right away, just trying to spread out the hit to my bank account for a few weeks

Job done in under an hour, all wheel buttons work with the radio and cluster..!!!

A few people have expressed interest in a lower cost method to do this upgrade. While I think if you're going to go through all of this the real upgrade is the Denali / High Country variants we have c

It will not.

I have the seven inch radio screen on my 2020 Custom.  Will I have to buy a new radio to make this work.  I see that a new cluster is less than 300 bucks but a new radio screen would up the expense considerably.

My steering wheel came in from the dealer, harness from harness dr and Monday it shows my high country cluster from whites automotive will arrive.  Hopefully next week I can get this done, I haven't seen anyone that has done this on a 19. Hopefully its the same as the 20-21's.

No, you don't need to do anything to your radio.

I checked with with Chris White about purchasing a cluster and having them re-program it.  He said that they source the correct cluster directly from GM and advised against purchasing my own.  This makes perfect sense because the purchase of an incorrect cluster saddles you with drudgery of returns and even more delays.

Yep agreed. The cluster I plan on purchasing through them as they program it to your VIN. But your radio shouldn't need to be touched.

Is It possible to get wireless Apple CarPlay on ior radio

Negative... they have programming services for all of the other radios, but us with the IORs are stuck with wired besides adding a wireless aftermarket dongle type device.

Hey Flatblack, did you have to take apart everything outlined in the below video.  I watched it several times to get ready for installation when my WAMS cluster arrives and am wondering why the radio needs to be removed. Looks to me like I can get it done with a lot less deconstruction.

Hey gang!

 

In a strange twist of fate we had two customers in the past few weeks retrofit our T1 Uplevel High Country/Denali clusters to IOR equipped vehicles. Both users after adding the required wiring and steering wheel controls have confirmed that not only do the menu controls work but also the full steering wheel audio controls! In the past only our Dealer customers had done this retrofit so we were unaware of this facet due to lack of feedback (no news is good news!)  but this is great news for those of you who have been wondering about this!

 

HarnessDR.com says they will have T1 harnesses up shortly on the site OR in the interim you can order the 14-18 version and put a note that its for a T1 and they will build it accordingly.

The radio doesn't need to be removed, side of dash, top above the cluster, column cover and the vent/headlight switch need to be removed. 

 

Thanks, after thinking about it, the video showed the radio removal but he was changing the radio trim, which I don't have to do.

I changed the radio trim to match the steering wheel. Trying now to find the driver n passenger chrome vent part# so it all matches.

The chrome ring is integrated into the vent itself. I don't believe they sell just the ring separately but they are fairly easy to remove from the vent rings. 

 

I have a driver side vent in atmosphere that has the chrome ring if you're interested though. Bought the wrong color and couldn't return so will sell it for fairly cheap as I have no use for it. Part number is 84266583 (has the 4WD/double button layout)

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

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

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.

      286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔
