We spent months discussing this a while back. This message will get you started. There are FIVE pages of discussions. Dig around here, go forward and back. There is a LOT of information. Take your time. We took nearly 1 1/2 years.

Just had mine done. Got the steering wheel off ebay and bought the clockspring harness from an GM supplier(much better price then what the dealer was offering.) Took the truck and parts to the dealer and for less than $200 had them install everything and reprogram the computer.

I want to do this too. Jennings Chevrolet in Chicago area offers brand new leather wrapped steering wheels with DIC buttons for $ 160 plus shipping (retail over $ 240). You can find their phone number on eBay - search under "2006 Silverado fog lamps". Better than trying to get a used one on eBay or anywhere else, unless you get it for 1/2 price of the new one. They also give at least 30% discounts on all GM parts, which is a lot better than stealerships in my area, who will not budge from the list price, and one crooked local stealer charges 10% over retail on every part they sell.

 

How much is the clockspring harness?

 

And is it true that special codes are require for programming?

The dealer quoted me $900 for the steering wheel. Got it off ebay for $140.00. The clockspring harness lists for $300.00 but you can get it for around $200.00 by shopping around and the part # is 26101828 COIL KIT. You will need to have the GM dealer reprogam your computer. The tech. needs to call in and get authorizations codes to program in to the PCM.

Come on, that is nonsense. As I said, I called Jennings Chevrolet, and was quoted $ 160 and change for a brand new leather wrapped steering wheel with DIC buttons for an '06 Silverado (retail = $ 240). It is possible that the $ 900 retail quote was for the steering wheel WITH the airbag.

Here is the toll free number for Jennings Chevrolet:

 

1-800-244-3782

 

Business hours: 8 to 5 central time

 

Ask for parts. I spoke with Jim Norman, who gave me the prices over the phone. Mention to him that you saw their products on eBay.

 

I am not drumming up business for these people as I only found about them through eBay, but their prices are so far the best I have seen, and that is enough to convince me. Plus they were pleasant to deal with. They are also a regular Chevy dealership.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
