WAMS is offering a upgrade for non refresh trucks to get the new cluster that is in the refresh. There are more things they are saying but it advertises that for spring 2024. Doesn't say about the main infotainment screen though, just the cluster.

I can't read lol

I'm wondering if wams can move the tachometer to the left side of the screen?

Not quite we are getting ready to roll out 12.3" Cluster upgrades for Base Refresh trucks as well as 2021 SUV that got the older style units. That and a ton of other things including Global V VPM reprogramming etc... There was a post right under this with a link LOL There a TON of other things coming soon as well. Also we said Early 2024 not spring 😉

uh... yup thats how that cluster works :)

So in theory since adaptive cruise is camera-controlled in these trucks it could be activated with the programming tool? I wouldn't put it past GM to keep it software locked to sell more $70K trucks since it's almost impossible to get on a $60K truck. 😂

 

Sure seems the hardware is there based on the upfitter manual. Not talking about supercruise with the fancy radars, just basic stop and go adaptive cruise.

Not quite that simple sadly, you're missing the long range radar as well :)

Interesting thanks. Would’ve sworn it was a build option to have KSG without UPN. That said if all it needs is the radar that’s about a two hour job to pull the bumper to add it and run a 4 conductor cable to either a body harness plug or straight to the image processing module or whatever GM calls it now. Assuming one has access to an MDI2 or equivalent  to initialize and then calibrate the module it doesn’t sound totally different than what the ford folks do adding adaptive cruise to their various platforms.

Sorry, I should specify. Are you still doing programming to remove the runtime limit of 30 minutes?

    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 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. 
    • 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.    
    • 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.
