Can you have Z71/All-Terrain Inclinometer added to digital dash cluster?

I have a 2019 Sierra 2500HD Denali 4x4 Crew Cab.

It has the Hill Descent option, but does not have all terrain/Z71.

I imagine it has the accelerometer to make the z71 inclinometer work since it needs to be able to detect when its going downhill to turn on the hill descent mode.

 

Wondering if there's any companies that can reprogram the digital dash cluster to add in the offroad inclinometer, or if I have to get a different accelerometer too, or if I would just have to get a different digital dash cluster altogether.

 

Not sure of anywhere else to ask this....I'm also having a hard time figuring out what comes with z71 option, all-terrain option, and then when you have both (which seemed to be an option as a gmc....I'm not sure if thats true but it looks like it) besides all the decals and interior emblem stuff - more referring to the functional features/upgrades.

I know on silverado, z71 had that inclinometer, different shocks, skid plates, I think it changed your diff ratios, and it gave you the auto 4x4 select option.  Only recently found out that hill descent package is NOT a part of Z71/all-terrain only.

Below is pic of inclinometer I was talking about.  I'm guessing its tied to the auto 4x4 feature based on the AWD text that changes depending on what mode you're in - which is tied to z71 if I remember correctly

2019 HD Denali 4x4 should have that page.  (my 2018 did)

Probably just have to turn the page on in the DIC. 

 

Z71 does not change diff ratio on a HD dmax truck.

All Dmax of that generation were 3.73

You're 100% right, found this out like an hour after posting.
I am kinda disappointed you can't see trans temperature like you could with GM trans.....but I'll take the improved shifting of the Allison over the random hard shifting baloney of the GM 8 spd.

 

I asked admin if I could delete my post since it won't let me.

Denali cluster will show transmission temperature when you engage tow/haul mode.

newdude beat me to it

 

 

You can put trans temp up on dic page, or the put it in tow/haul and view the gauge spot it takes over when in tow haul. 

I sometimes just push the tow/haul button to see the temp and then switch if back out of tow/haul.

You're likely to find that the allison doesn't run hot enough that it needs constant watching --- and the computer is watching anyway and will let you know if there is an issue.

I didnt see where you could get trans temp on the DIC page, I will make sure to try the tow/haul button and then navigate the pages.

 

Thanks all!

The list in the manual for uplevel DIC suggests it should be beside the 'offroad' item in the list.

Did not see it show up in the menu still.

 

Can verify that it swaps the voltage gauge out with trans temp when you press the tow/haul button on the shifter.

So, good enough for me!

 

Thanks all!

Just to verify.

You were in the list where you add/remove checkmarks to indicate which pages you want to be able to see when you go back to the info tab?

Correct,
I dont recall if I was in Tow/Haul WHILE I was in that menu, but I definitely looked through that menu and there was no trans temp one listed, and nothing happened when I right arrow or hit enter on the off-road page.

 

The only time i got anything transmission related to show up was like I said where you hit tow/haul button, the voltage gauge was replaced with transmission temperature gauge.

 

I'll try going to that menu while in tow/haul mode over lunch to see if it makes it available.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.
