I have a 2016 GMC Sierra Denali with navigation, Bose and android auto/car play. Is it possible to upgrade to the 2018 interface that has the app store? I have a 2018 Equinox and enjoy the weather channel app and the extra settings options. I know the 2018 Denali has the same interface as my Equinox and was hoping I could update mine. 

If anyone has any knowledge on this and what module I need to change please let me know.

 

Thanks

I mean we can absolutely upgrade you to that interface but the app shop wont work. You're missing some other hardware and other issues that will pop up to make it work. If you're serious you can contact us from our site and can give you the general idea but its not something thats likely going to work.

Will the 2018 settings work? On the 2018 you can turn on vehicle WiFi from the radio. On 2016 you can't. You have to use the app.

Hmmm, my 2017 has vehicle WiFi which turns on every time I start the truck.
One would need a subscription to the WiFi capabilities, though. Same as On-Star or Sirius XM.
It's $25 a month, well worth it for the benefits (for the WiFi, On-Star and Sirius XM are extra).
Best thing is, my AutoSync automatically connects to it (the WiFi) for AutoSync and BTDiesel updates for module programming.
Seriously, if one wants to mod their modules, there isn't anything better than WAMS paired with BTDiesel, and the truck WiFi availability.

That's what I don't like... I want the ability to cut it on or off from the radio. You can also change the WiFi name and password from the radio in 2018. Since the major hardware change came in 2019 it seems like an easy thing to upgrade a 2016 to 2018 interface. I just need someone that can sell me a module programmed to my Vin. It's a better value to buy the GM unlimited WiFi for 2 years for $360 which is what I did

In the settings on the 2017 one can always go in to settings and change WiFi name and password.
If you need further mods, I still recommend WAMS for changes.
2 years for $360 is a good deal.

What is WAMS?

I don't know what I need. I just know I prefer the 2018 interface better and trying to find someone that can help me get this done

Also, sorry, it's been a while, you'll need the myChevrolet app to change WiFi name and password.

I figured maybe it was missed since WAMS was a question for him?
And Chris's post was below his?

FYI... I have GM WiFi, I have the MyChevy app, MyGMC app and MyCadillac app. What I don't have is the 2018 radio interface. If it's possible to get it on my 2016 that's what I want to buy. I know all the differences and what each interface can do. If anyone has done this or know of a company please let me know.

Thanks

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
