Thanks, thats what I needed to know, I read most of that post before I bought the wheel but I guess I missed that part....Oh well guess it's time to start saving up for the nav screen now.

I was going to go that route as well until I found the radio I needed for like $40.

Do you know the PN of the radio you bought?

Did the steering wheel swap on my 2010 LT ebony interior w/ cruise and brushed steel spokes. Bought a wheel from a 09 w/ ebony spokes and radio controls. I wanted the brushed steel spokes on my new wheel so I swapped the spokes from my old wheel to my new one which was pretty simple just had to remove a few torque screws and pop out the spokes. Everything works perfect and the whole job took about a hour from start to finish, would have took about 10 min. if I didnt want to swap the spokes. For reference if you have ebony interior and want the brushed stainless(silver) spokes the part # is 25853070 if you want ebony spokes the part # is 25853068.

Question, will a MY08 2500 steering wheel with radio controls fit/work on a MY09 1500? Look the same to me.

 

 

Yes.

 

 

I figured, thanks. I'm digging the Black spokes over the silver poo.

For those of you that have installed the controls, does the volume buttons light up at night? Only the top buttons light up, not the volume up and down buttons on mine. I want to see if everyone else's is the same way.

 

Thanks-

My controls were factory installed.. and I don't believe my volume switches have lights.

I think I have a record. Steering wheel was at the door when I got home from work, THANKS SCHRAM!!!!!!!!! Tools? A long allen wrench to pop the airbag off, my fingers to disconnect the airbag and steering wheel controls plug (I just had cruise control, but same plug for the new wheel, runs to both sides) and if I remember right, a 21mm socket to remove the steering wheel nut. No wheel puller required. Oh yeah, 10mm to remove the battery connection.

 

I've had my wheel off a few times, so that took about 2 minutes to pull after disconnecting the battery.

Threw the NEW one on, part number 15917931, it's a part number for a 08 2500, but works like a charm on my 09 Chevy Silverado 1500 LT. All buttons work, and lights up.

Wow, I just noticed these are pretty good pics of my e-brake controller. :)

 

best mod ever, second to the DIC though.

The wifey's car, no steering wheel controls :)

 

 

Why leave her out?

I know its a bit off topic but I got the idea from this thread. I purchased a wheel for my wifes 2010 Acadia installed it and the controls dont work. All the buttons light up but do not function. Any ideas?

SHHHHHHHH!!!!!! She'll see it!!!!

 

I would jump on it in a heartbeat, but we replaced her steering wheel already with a silver carbon fiber one from APSIS.

      Gas fill door

      By newdude · Posted

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

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

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

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

      By jake111 · Posted

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
