2002 Hd Steering Wheel Upgrade


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello everyone,

 

I just joined and this looks like a great place to ask some questions I've been pondering for a while. I have a 2002 2500HD 4x4 CCSB LT with the 8.1L and Allison. It's basically fully loaded but I was wondering if it's possible to upgrade the steering wheel to the newer style with the stereo controls? I have read some of the other threads, etc. but they seem to be talking about '03's and up. I know the controls weren't an option until then but hopefully I'm not SOL. Also, are there any other things that I could upgrade/update such as the fuel economy meter, TPMS, etc.? TIA

VERY NICE!!! you crashed the site and started very well with a great post number...... Welcome and DONT let it happen again. I dont if the radio controls are compatible?

I doubt an 03+ steering wheel will work. A lot of the electrical system was updated in 03 and probably isn't compatible with 99-02 stuff. Maybe a pre-03 Escalade steering wheel will work. I think they offered audio controls on those. Not sure what all would be involved though.

    • This is a really late reply but I just found this thread. They won't sell the hinges. I've gone 7 rounds with them. Their solution is to buy a new cover. I'm about to buy a new cover and it won't be a Bakflip. It also won't be from realtruck.com. 
    • Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver. 
    • Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....  
    • 4 low is really nice on steep boat ramps. 
    • Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.
