Ok, got it working, and figured it out!!

 

Looks like maybe just the WT package did not have the lights wired for the cruise control.

 

Under the driver side dash, there is a wire harness and plug. It is kinda off white with a blue bracket that clamps to hold the harness together. If you undo the harness, look for the dark brown wire. Careful, because there is a black w/ white stripe and a black wire. Make sure you get the brown wire. I cut it, and tapped it on to the dash lights. Now my steering wheel radio and cruise control light up!!

 

I would have taken pictures, but there was barely enough room up in there for my two bear paws, let alone a camera!! Hopefully I explained it well enough, for anyone else who is in the same situation!!

 

Awesome! Glad to hear. Always nice to see people take initiative and just do s**t!

What a great site! I am a first time GMC owner. 2008 1500 4X4. So far so good.

 

Did anyone ever determine if the radio controls would work with the standard 1 disc CD factory radio? I would probably buy the steering wheel assembly with everything included. Also, how would I find the steering wheel P/N (including Cruise and radio controls) for a 2008 GMC Sierra 4X4 SLE with Titanium interior?

I have the single disc factory radio and it works just fine with mine. As for the part number, your best bet is to stop by the dealer, find the exact wheel you want and then write down the VIN from that vehicle. Give that VIN to customer service at gmpartsdirect.com and ask them for the steering wheel part number. Once you get that, type it into their search box, get the resulting page and then buy it. I bought mine on eBay for $99 rather than $200 new but I got lucky and found one. Just keep your eyes out, they show up frequently but go pretty fast.

 

EDIT: Here's one in Titanium.

Quick question,

 

I just ordered the audio control module for the steering wheel a couple days ago and picked it up today. I noticed it was the not all black, but nothing that paint can't fix. Anyways I have the steering wheel with just the cruise ccontrol. I noticed that it is plug and play for the audio controls. Now when I take my airbag off is there going to be that secondary plug sitting in there. Im not sure if the wiring harness for the cruise is not 1 plug that splits to each control. I also noticed that some cutting is going to be needed. You guys think I can order the shroud that backs the steering wheel? so I won't have to risk messing the cutting up? I'm still researching part numbers and if you guys are looking for the part number for the audio controls here it is #15824117.

 

thanks,

Chase

You need to read this thread in it's entirety. Also, if you have a GMT800 and not a 900, this thread is not going to help you at all.

I wish I found this forum before I ordered the controls lol.. I guess Ebay it is!

Yeah, that sucks. I made the same mistake though. Sometimes going the cheap route costs a little bit more!

 

Are you running an 800 or 900, BTW?

Does anyone know if the heated steering wheel would work if I put one of those in? How exactly do you turn the heater on anyway?

 

Search. This has been discussed. It may have even been discussed in this thread.

Yes, you can add the heated steering wheel from the Denali. I purchased one to match my interior which is Ebony from Nordstroms for about $200 and then I had to purchase the SIR Coil from a Denali Truck which has the wiring provisions for the Heated Wheel....that SIR Coil is around $80 bucks or so....You'll just need to install the New Coil and Wheel and run a power and ground from the heated steering wheel plug on the SIR Coil. I have it and its worked great for about 6 months now.

You, sir are " THE MAN"!! :drool: Your truck does look awesome BTW. Where did you get the SIR coil from and what exactly is that? Do you have pics. of it?

Getting back to the topic at hand...

 

Dropped in on the dealer today. Said it wouldn't be any issue with the warranty and they could install it for $48 (knowing I'm going to order it from somewhere else). Sounds like I'm not going to deal with blowing my face off with an airbag.

      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?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
