Awesome video! Thanks so much for sharing. I wouldn't have attempted this upgrade without your help. I just finished the install and my hands will be thanking you all winter! Thanks again!
Nice job 👍 and thanks for giving Phil a shout out. I watched his mirror upgrade video along time ago and couldn't find my way back to it until you said who it was you contacted. Again thanks for the video. Nicely done ✔
I am going to buy a new truck and love the heated wheel on the 2020 loaner I have ans thought to myself, " I should contact Phil Gamboa." Quick search and found this video and you already contacted him! He is an amazing asset to the GM forums and sites. Great video! Appreciate you making this for all of us. Cheers.
Thank you for posting...This video helped me replace 2015 GMC Sierra steering wheel. Mine wasn't to upgrade the wheel only to replace it. Over the years it had gotten pitted and nasty. Thanks again!
Thanks for the video it was very helpful. I just finished the install. It was a little more difficult than I thought, I had a very hard time with replacing the plastic shroud and disconnecting some of the wiring. But thanks again very helpful. I’m digging the heated wheel 👍🏻
sitnlow4life for your truck if it doesn’t come pre wired like this GMC did. The plug that was in the dash that he plugged the new clock spring into, some trucks don’t have that part of the harness and Phil offers it for sale at HarnessDr.com
VERY well done! Wish i had snap ring pliers! LOL. I found removing that to be the hardest part. It fought me for 20 minutes! The 2nd hardest part was removing the bottom shroud cover. Didn't realize the tile lever handle came off like that! Nicely done! I think this video will really help those on the GM-Trucks forum be more comfortable with this upgrade. Just a side note: There are some trucks out there with the 2-pin mate connector down below to plug into, but GM didn't continue that run into the fuse panel. So while present in some, it may not be hot. Great details on this!
Phil Gamboa thank you, and again I really appreciate the advice on the wiring. I now have all of the console parts but I need to find time to get it installed.
Phil Gamboa I forgot to mention about the snap ring thing. My wife and I changed out her F550 front wheel bearing on I25 in Casper Wyoming when it was like 10 degrees out. I think it took at least 45 minutes with a Leatherman and a flathead screwdriver to remove the damn snap ring! I had like 10 different ones at home in our nice warm garage....250 miles away.
Awesome video man, Very detailed, Thanks for making the video, I plan on doing this upgrade to my 2017 Silverado 2500 HD, I messaged P Gamboa about this, as i had some questions, Gamboa's video on his center console install helped me tremendously when i went to install a center console into my truck, i was in constant contact with him during install, very lengthy install, but worth it.
Great video man! Looking forward to switching my steering wheel out on my 18 silverado! Subbed to you for great instructions on how to remove and install everything!
@@waals2663 What bugs me, is that 'LTZ' always meant the best 'fully loaded' truck you could get. My 2012 LTZ had air in the seats (still no heated steering), but my 2018 does not. It would be nice if they would keep a constant pkg. Now with the other higher priced packages, an LTZ seems mid-grade...??...LOL.
James Barton cool, thanks for watching. I’m working on an Aux switch mod video series for the center dash switch right now. It will be really nice if you plan on adding any accessory that takes a switch.

Great video. Thanks for posting. I’ll actually be attempting a 2022 Sierra steering wheel (uses the Torx bolt, not a nut.) I may have to swap the steering column. Oh and did I mention it’ll be going into a 2007.5 NBS Silverado? Haha.
Great video. I have a 2015 Sierra SLE, where did you order the steering wheel? I want to do this, I actually called a GMC dealer yesterday and they said they wont even touch this project. Also, did the new wiring come with the steering wheel?
I forgot to ask you about lights and the BCM. Is anyway to know if the BCM has the right programming to do that led light switch install. Id just hate to spend the money and find out BCM doesn't support it. Thank you sir.
Awesome video, I'll definitely be using it in the near future. Just have a question. My truck is already equipped with a heated steering wheel but the element has burnt out in it. Do I need to replace the clock spring or can I just get a new steering wheel and swap it out?
Will this newer style steering wheel from 2014 on up, work on a 2012 Silverado with the previous style wheel? I would love to change mine to this style steering wheel.
Subscribed! Phil is the absolute man and has helped me a lot along the way with my truck. I'm hoping you can help me out. I am looking to do this upgrade as well, but I am also hoping to upgrade my cluster in the process. I have a 2017 WT that has been completely overhauled inside and out except for the cluster, which I can't get any solid direction on. The truck was an IO3 and is now an IO5, so I have the HMI module in now. Any idea what I would have to do to get a new upgraded cluster working? Would it be the same clock spring you added, a new steering wheel (with right hand controls) and a programmed cluster? Any help is appreciated. Thank you for this video! I
That8One4Dude thanks for watching, and yes, I agree, Phil is the man! Here is a link to a discussion on the forum about your exact inquiry...... www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/192664-wt-trim-with-color-dic-steering-wheel-controls-io5-stereo-retrofit/
MRS. Claus bought me a new wheel for Xmas for my International CV. I’ll be shooting another video swapping it out but also adding the right side steering wheel controls and upgrading the cluster. I’m still squirreling away the money for the cluster.
That's awesome! The Impala is actually my wife's car. Based on my research, I'll need the wheel ($60) and harness in the wheel for the heat (included with wheel) and the heated steering wheel button ($30) and clock spring ($70). I was hoping I didn't need the clock spring, but I do. Just like the one in your video, the heated clock spring has extra wiring. It's a little pricey, but it would be cool if I could pull off the swap. I just wanted to stop by to give you credit for an awesome how-to video. I make them as well and I rarely, if ever, see them done this well. So kudos!
great video, could you tell me if the part # you have for the heated steering wheel has controls on the back side of the wheel ? I just want to make sure I order the correct one
AWESOME video!! I have been looking for this! I also have a 2015 Sierra HD. It is an SLT but did not come with the heated wheel. That being said, I could like follow your video to the T and have the same result, correct? Thanks again!
Thanks. Yes everything should be the same. Some trucks have the power connector but power is not supplied to it. P Gamboa on GM-Trucks.com has a fix for that. You should check for power with the key on at the connector before starting the upgrade just to know whether or not further work is needed.
Just completed this yesterday. Excellent detailed instructions! I’m not getting any power to the steering wheel controls or horn. All the connections are tight and the heated wheel fuse is good. Would you suspect a faulty clock spring?
Yes, that sounds like the likely suspect. The ribbon inside can break easily and if it was put back in the box and returned before you got it that sounds like a pretty easy scenario.
Clear and to the point, thanks! I've found that the steering wheel w/ the crash alert button is cheaper for some reason so that's what I purchased. Does that mean the clock spring part number will change or can I use the clock spring w/ just the heated wheel feature? Basically I'm wondering if the connector on the wheel will be different since I purchased the wheel w/ heat and crash alert.
I believe there are four different clock springs, with and without heated wheel and those for 1/2 ton vs HD. The difference between 1500s and HDs is the number of plugs on the airbag. I think the clock spring is populated for all wiring other than the heated wheel.
@@kevefox thanks for your quick reply. I forgot to mention I have a 17 Silverado 1500. Do you see any issue with buying the wheel I purchased and the clock spring you mentioned in your video?
The clock spring will be different as the video shows a 3500. Here is a link for a part number for the wheel.... www.gmpartsdirect.com/auto-parts/2017/chevrolet/silverado-1500/ltz-trim/6-2l-v8-gas-engine/steering-cat/steering-wheel-scat And the part number for the clock spring..... www.gmpartsdirect.com/auto-parts/2017/chevrolet/silverado-1500/ltz-trim/6-2l-v8-gas-engine/electrical-cat/air-bag-components-scat
Question... will a steering wheel work with the volume control and heated function work with any versions of gmc intellilink? I have a 2018 gmc elevation NON sle model so doesn't come with the newest intellilink but still the 7" screen? Hope that makes sense.. nice video
Yes, if the wiring isn’t there Phil Gamboa at harnessdr.com/ can help.I got my wheel and clock spring through www.gmpartsdirect.com/. Let me know if you need help looking up part numbers.
They’re not fun, at least they’re visible. Some GMs have a little extra rubber there and it’s all by feel. The wheel was something like $250 and the wheel powers off with the ignition. If you don’t have the wiring, Phil Gamboa At harnessdr.com makes an OEM retrofit harness that plugs into the factory location on the left side of the dash.
this was an amazing video tutorial man! I just want to verify, it should all be plug and play on 2014+ models correct? I thought on some forums I saw that the PCM needs to be programmed or something, but that doesnt make sense to me. Also, why is a new clock spring needed? GMpartsnow only has 1 clockspring for my 2014, curious why I have to replace.....or do I have to buy a different year clock spring? Thank you for your insight!
i figured out my question about the clock spring, it contains the plug for the heat, got it. Just need to verify if there are only 2 versions of clock springs. .....
Yes, should be plug and play, however some trucks didn’t get the wiring coming from the fuse block to the harness. Phil Gamboa makes a solution for this. Here is a link to Gmpartsdirect.com (Flow Chevrolet) for the clock spring..... www.gmpartsdirect.com/?year=&make=&model=&search_str=Clock+spring&p=catalog&mode=search&scat=&search_in=all And here is for the wheel.... www.gmpartsdirect.com/?year=&make=&model=&search_str=Steering+wheel&p=catalog&mode=search&scat=&search_in=all The heated wheel needs another circuit which passes through the clock spring in the column. A wheel without heat uses a clock spring with one less circuit.
so if the truck doesn't have the heated wheel "option" say like a 2010 tahoe, can that plug just get connected to 12v and ground? are there other wires in that heated steering wheel cable such as a trigger to turn it on (when the car starts)?
I know that some vehicles do have a preset for heated/cooled options upon remote start but I don’t think these have that ability. As far as the 2010 goes I’m not sure but it’s likely very similar (power and ground)
Hi, great video. I am in the middle of installation and I found one plug where you show the heated steering wheel on the harness But it’s different than the plug from the wheel? I assume it’s the heated steering wheel plug as I checked the fuse box and there’s purple wire in the correct spot and 7.5 fuse in for it.
That does happen. GM switched plug designs at some point. I know Phil Gamboa at Harness Dr. makes a kit. harnessdr.com I was on the road when I first responded. You can just bypass the plug altogether and hardwire it if you’re halfway through install and need to get it done. You may even be able to disassemble one of the plugs and still use the OEM pins.
Yes, it can be done. There is some custom wiring and a few other things involved. I’ve read about it on the Gm-trucks forum and I would like to upgrade my 2019 International CV to having steering wheel controls eventually but money is pretty tight right now.
If I have this steering wheel already (heated, music controls, etc) will I need to replace the clock spring and airbag cable? Or will I just need to swap the worn down steering wheel with the new one? Thanks!
Here is a question, is this possible with the 07-13 models? I want to upgrade to a newer wheel(14-18) and this would be ideal. I've watched both videos and seem possible with some slight wire changes on connection harnesses. Please, make that video :)
Interesting concept. We have a ‘12 Tahoe and have considered swapping to a Yukon Denali wheel with heat. Check out the GM-trucks.com forum. There is a dedicated sub-category for your body style and corresponding mods.
Curious if you tried this or not? We are upgrading a 1999 obs suburban and I found a forum to swap a couple vette wheel, but I would like to swap the heated steering wheel.
Great video! I have a 2018 Silverado 1500 single cab work truck model that I'm upgrading to a heated steering wheel and telescoping steering wheel but for the life of me I don't know which clock spring to buy , any suggestions?
Looks like it’s GM#84186645.... www.gmpartsdirect.com/auto-parts/2018/chevrolet/silverado-1500/ltz-trim/6-2l-v8-gas-engine/electrical-cat/air-bag-components-scat
Great Video! I am planning on attempting this on my 2019 Silverado 2500HD very soon. I read through the comments, and Iam hoping you can let me know the part numbers for the steering wheel and the Clock spring. I do not currently have a collision alert indicator on my steering wheel, if that helps! Also, the steering wheel I currently have is black. Thanks in advance for the help!
@@kevefoxThanks for the response and the information! I do have 2 questions, if you don't mind. I mentioned that I do not have a collision alert indicator on my steering wheel, does that mean that I do not have a collision alert on my truck? second question, will any re-programming need to be done after switching out the steering wheel and the clock spring in order to get the heated part to work?
Adam Schutte Just the numbers that I put on the screen. There is a difference between half ton and an HD truck though. When you look on say GM parts.com just put in your year make and model and then find the part that fits it with a Denali model and heated wheel. Clock spring is in the Air Bag section
What is the model steering wheel that you have in the video? I want one with heated wheel, no crash button, and black leather with silver accents on it. Looks like the same one you have in video.
Tony Guerra there is a little bit of wiring involved and I think you need a new cluster too. I’ll be doing this on my ‘19 International CV soon. It’s a Silverado 6500 in disguise. I’ll Shoot a video.
Yes, there is an extra wire internally and an extra pigtail for the heat power source. Here’s a link.....scroll down to the second picture and look at part #1 this is for a ‘16 3500 Denali.1/2 tons are different from 3/4 & 1tons. www.gmpartsdirect.com/auto-parts/2016/gmc/sierra-3500-hd/denali-trim/6-0l-v8-flex-engine/electrical-cat/air-bag-components-scat
I don’t but here’s a link to a thread that discusses the process. www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/192664-wt-trim-with-color-dic-steering-wheel-controls-io5-stereo-retrofit/
Disconnecting the negative works the same only if you contact your wrench to ground while loosening the terminal you won’t damage anything. First look up the correct part number by searching on a GM parts website, then google, eBay and Amazon with those part numbers.
Do you mean just the switch part? You might be able to find just the switch but the wheel won’t have a heating element. www.gmpartsdirect.com/oem-parts/gm-switch-23262287 www.gmpartsdirect.com/oem-parts/gm-switch-23262288
I added the clock spring, and steering wheel, heated wheel doesn’t work, the fuse has power, the violet/white and black under the dash both show ground. What is missing?
Bob Warcimaga I spoke with Phil Gamboa the GM Wiring Guru and he says you’re likely missing the violet wire between the fuse and the plug which the clock spring plugs into. He sells a harness that will get you going. Shoot him a PM on GM-trucks.com www.gm-trucks.com/forums/profile/159655-pgamboa/
I just bought a new 2019 GMC 1500 and was wondering if I could install this or would this void my warranty? Or would it be better if I had the GMC service department install it for me and keep my warranty? Any suggestions?
This was on the ‘14-‘18 1500 body style and the ‘15-‘19 HD body style so it’s not the same as the next gen style. Installing a heated wheel shouldn’t do anything to the warranty though.
Any mods done to your truck dont void the warranty. Google the Magnuson Moss Act. Dealers have to prove that your modification affected the damaged part that you are trying to get repaired under the warranty if they were to deny your warranty claim.
Yes, wheel is 23423449. Clock spring is 23193463 Keep in mind that these numbers have likely been updated but should easily cross over on eBay, google, etc...
Regan Reed I think there might be two ways to do that, one is if you’re really good with a sewing needle and thread. And two is if you can remove the button on the right and replace it with a blank filler piece. I have seen the right hand side buttons for sale on eBay so I assume that they can be removed. www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/192664-wt-trim-with-color-dic-steering-wheel-controls-io5-stereo-retrofit/
I'm wondering if the clockspring part number listed in the video supports collision alert? I need the clockspring to support heated steering wheel and collision alert (as well as the other controls that are normally present)
Hey there, sorry for the delayed response. I thought I responded immediately but it must not have gone through. Phil Gamboa makes everything you need for this Mod. Contact him at sales@harnessdr.com
I would like to do this on my 2018 gmc Sierra 1500. Would you happen to know the part number for the clock spring? The one you show the part number for tells me it won't work.
Unfortunately it does not. The defrost and everything else will pop on to whatever it was set to but the seats and wheel need to be turned on with the key.
Have you heard of anyone using the clock spring you have previously linked in other comments on a 2017 2500? I have bought the steering wheel already, so the clock spring is all I have left to order.
Tinkering Fox mines a 17 2500 chevy duramax LT. You’d think if the wheel is pretty much standard across most of the trucks the clock spring would be too but who knows
The clock spring is basically a swivel for your wires going into your steering wheel. It makes it so that your air bag and steering wheel controls work without any issues turning and bending them every time you drive. The new clock spring has another pair of wires to power the heating element.
I don’t know.i looked around for a minute and saw a few threads on the subject for Civics and CRVs. Find a Element forum and throw out the question.....might find exactly what you’re looking for.
I can look them up. What year, 1500 or HD, interior color? https:www.gmpartsdirect.com/ You can find the wheel under “steering” and the clock spring under “electrical” then “airbag components”
Question I plan on getting the 2015 GMC Sierra HD All Terrain, used, tomorrow. One thing I love on cars in the winter is heated wheels. So I plan to use this video to help me along the way. Now I need to order the parts. Could you just post the links in the comments for each piece and all of us will be able to access it quicker? Thanks!
@@kevefox Sorry for the delayed response. I did a sleeper build in the bed and did a complete upholstery upgrade from cloth to a heavy duty cowhide grain leather. Which was not my idea of a good time. My truck is a 2015 Sierra 2500HD. Black interior. No collision avoidance that I know of. I did buy the wheel and clock spring which came in a couple days ago and plan to install soon when I rewatched the video and you said u had the 3500. So hoping the 2500 has all the same stuff. Feel free to reach out to me at pest_fest@hotmail.com. Thanks.
Installed and works great. The parts you used on your 3500 does work on the 2500's. I did use a multimeter to make sure the trucks heated steering wheel harness was hot before doing anything.
Wow, not really sure? I would start by removing the wheel and taking another look at the connector. Possibly a bad clock spring but likely a bad connection.
What's the P/N for the clock spring? I have a salvage wheel, with heating the heating element. Is there anything else that I need? Why do you have to change the wire from the airbag module? Or does that just come with the new clock spring?
There are a couple of options on the clock spring. Depending on if you have a 1500 or an HD you will have one or two airbag wires. What year/make/model do you have?
Because of you and P Gamboa, I officially have a heated steering wheel! Thanks for the clear and informative video!
You’re very welcome!

Awesome DIY!
Thank you!
I’m going to attempt this in my 2015 Impala. If it works, it’ll be on my channel. If it doesn’t, it won’t lol.
MRS. Claus bought me a new wheel for Xmas for my International CV. I’ll be shooting another video swapping it out but also adding the right side steering wheel controls and upgrading the cluster. I’m still squirreling away the money for the cluster.
That's awesome! The Impala is actually my wife's car. Based on my research, I'll need the wheel ($60) and harness in the wheel for the heat (included with wheel) and the heated steering wheel button ($30) and clock spring ($70). I was hoping I didn't need the clock spring, but I do. Just like the one in your video, the heated clock spring has extra wiring. It's a little pricey, but it would be cool if I could pull off the swap. I just wanted to stop by to give you credit for an awesome how-to video. I make them as well and I rarely, if ever, see them done this well. So kudos!
Very much appreciated compliment! I hope you pull off the swap without any issue!
great video, could you tell me if the part # you have for the heated steering wheel has controls on the back side of the wheel ? I just want to make sure I order the correct one
Stephen Meisel yes, it does.
Very cool now I want to do that lol
AWESOME video!! I have been looking for this! I also have a 2015 Sierra HD. It is an SLT but did not come with the heated wheel. That being said, I could like follow your video to the T and have the same result, correct?
Thanks again!
Thanks. Yes everything should be the same. Some trucks have the power connector but power is not supplied to it. P Gamboa on GM-Trucks.com has a fix for that. You should check for power with the key on at the connector before starting the upgrade just to know whether or not further work is needed.
Just completed this yesterday. Excellent detailed instructions! I’m not getting any power to the steering wheel controls or horn. All the connections are tight and the heated wheel fuse is good. Would you suspect a faulty clock spring?
Yes, that sounds like the likely suspect. The ribbon inside can break easily and if it was put back in the box and returned before you got it that sounds like a pretty easy scenario.
@@kevefox ok thanks! I have a new one on order. Much appreciated!
Clear and to the point, thanks! I've found that the steering wheel w/ the crash alert button is cheaper for some reason so that's what I purchased. Does that mean the clock spring part number will change or can I use the clock spring w/ just the heated wheel feature? Basically I'm wondering if the connector on the wheel will be different since I purchased the wheel w/ heat and crash alert.
I believe there are four different clock springs, with and without heated wheel and those for 1/2 ton vs HD. The difference between 1500s and HDs is the number of plugs on the airbag. I think the clock spring is populated for all wiring other than the heated wheel.
@@kevefox thanks for your quick reply. I forgot to mention I have a 17 Silverado 1500. Do you see any issue with buying the wheel I purchased and the clock spring you mentioned in your video?
The clock spring will be different as the video shows a 3500.
Here is a link for a part number for the wheel.... www.gmpartsdirect.com/auto-parts/2017/chevrolet/silverado-1500/ltz-trim/6-2l-v8-gas-engine/steering-cat/steering-wheel-scat
And the part number for the clock spring..... www.gmpartsdirect.com/auto-parts/2017/chevrolet/silverado-1500/ltz-trim/6-2l-v8-gas-engine/electrical-cat/air-bag-components-scat
do you have a video to explain how to add audio control to new steering wheel?
So you didn't have to run a separate power line to the heated wheel? Some videos show no power to the heat even with the clock spring upgraded
Unfortunately the 2014 yukon steering wheel is totally different from the one in your video. Can this be done in the 2007-2014 Yukons.
Your truck is a 2500, will these parts work on a 1500? I have a 2016 GMC sierra 1500 and want to do this conversion.
The clock spring must be replaced for the upgrade?
Great video bud just curious what’s an upgrade like this run¿
About $240 for the wheel and $130 for the clock spring
Question... will a steering wheel work with the volume control and heated function work with any versions of gmc intellilink? I have a 2018 gmc elevation NON sle model so doesn't come with the newest intellilink but still the 7" screen?
Hope that makes sense.. nice video
I would imagine so. The circuits do the same thing. Thanks for watching
Hello great video just wondering if this would also work for my 2015 Silverado LT and where do I get the new steering wheel
Yes, if the wiring isn’t there Phil Gamboa at harnessdr.com/ can help.I got my wheel and clock spring through www.gmpartsdirect.com/. Let me know if you need help looking up part numbers.
Good Video
I hate those Air Bag CLIPS !!!
How much was the Wheel ?
is there a Module to tell when to Power Off wheel ?
They’re not fun, at least they’re visible. Some GMs have a little extra rubber there and it’s all by feel. The wheel was something like $250 and the wheel powers off with the ignition. If you don’t have the wiring, Phil Gamboa At harnessdr.com makes an OEM retrofit harness that plugs into the factory location on the left side of the dash.
this was an amazing video tutorial man! I just want to verify, it should all be plug and play on 2014+ models correct? I thought on some forums I saw that the PCM needs to be programmed or something, but that doesnt make sense to me. Also, why is a new clock spring needed? GMpartsnow only has 1 clockspring for my 2014, curious why I have to replace.....or do I have to buy a different year clock spring? Thank you for your insight!
i figured out my question about the clock spring, it contains the plug for the heat, got it. Just need to verify if there are only 2 versions of clock springs. .....
Yes, should be plug and play, however some trucks didn’t get the wiring coming from the fuse block to the harness. Phil Gamboa makes a solution for this.
Here is a link to Gmpartsdirect.com (Flow Chevrolet) for the clock spring.....

And here is for the wheel....
www.gmpartsdirect.com/?year=&make=&model=&search_str=Steering+wheel&p=catalog&mode=search&scat=&search_in=all
The heated wheel needs another circuit which passes through the clock spring in the column. A wheel without heat uses a clock spring with one less circuit.
Thanks for the video. Did the upgrade on my 2018 Silverado doesn’t work. Dash has CAL displayed. Any suggestions.
Did you buy the correct clock spring? Model year, ect?
so if the truck doesn't have the heated wheel "option" say like a 2010 tahoe, can that plug just get connected to 12v and ground? are there other wires in that heated steering wheel cable such as a trigger to turn it on (when the car starts)?
I know that some vehicles do have a preset for heated/cooled options upon remote start but I don’t think these have that ability. As far as the 2010 goes I’m not sure but it’s likely very similar (power and ground)
How come some guys didn't get power to the heated wheel and they had to run a hotwire from the fuse box on the driver side?
Perfect tutorial no lie
Hi, great video. I am in the middle of installation and I found one plug where you show the heated steering wheel on the harness But it’s different than the plug from the wheel? I assume it’s the heated steering wheel plug as I checked the fuse box and there’s purple wire in the correct spot and 7.5 fuse in for it.
That does happen. GM switched plug designs at some point. I know Phil Gamboa at Harness Dr. makes a kit.
harnessdr.com
I was on the road when I first responded. You can just bypass the plug altogether and hardwire it if you’re halfway through install and need to get it done. You may even be able to disassemble one of the plugs and still use the OEM pins.
Tinkering Fox thanks for the tip. I appreciate the info. I talked to P Gamboa as well, 👍
Can you upgrade the radio/dash cluster controls if you’re wanting to do a Denali upgraded cluster on a 2500HD?
Yes, it can be done. There is some custom wiring and a few other things involved. I’ve read about it on the Gm-trucks forum and I would like to upgrade my 2019 International CV to having steering wheel controls eventually but money is pretty tight right now.
If I have this steering wheel already (heated, music controls, etc) will I need to replace the clock spring and airbag cable? Or will I just need to swap the worn down steering wheel with the new one? Thanks!
It should just be a swap out. Make sure to lock the steering straight before removing the nut/wheel.
Here is a question, is this possible with the 07-13 models? I want to upgrade to a newer wheel(14-18) and this would be ideal. I've watched both videos and seem possible with some slight wire changes on connection harnesses. Please, make that video :)
Interesting concept. We have a ‘12 Tahoe and have considered swapping to a Yukon Denali wheel with heat. Check out the GM-trucks.com forum. There is a dedicated sub-category for your body style and corresponding mods.
Curious if you tried this or not? We are upgrading a 1999 obs suburban and I found a forum to swap a couple vette wheel, but I would like to swap the heated steering wheel.
Great video! I have a 2018 Silverado 1500 single cab work truck model that I'm upgrading to a heated steering wheel and telescoping steering wheel but for the life of me I don't know which clock spring to buy , any suggestions?
Yes, let me look it up and get back to you, I’m on the road right now...

Great Video! I am planning on attempting this on my 2019 Silverado 2500HD very soon. I read through the comments, and Iam hoping you can let me know the part numbers for the steering wheel and the Clock spring. I do not currently have a collision alert indicator on my steering wheel, if that helps! Also, the steering wheel I currently have is black. Thanks in advance for the help!

@@kevefoxThanks for the response and the information! I do have 2 questions, if you don't mind. I mentioned that I do not have a collision alert indicator on my steering wheel, does that mean that I do not have a collision alert on my truck? second question, will any re-programming need to be done after switching out the steering wheel and the clock spring in order to get the heated part to work?
What makes sure your steering wheel is clocked correctly on reinstall ?
Thanks
Tires straight, wheel straight.
Any chance one of you guys have a parts list for this upgrade?
Adam Schutte Just the numbers that I put on the screen. There is a difference between half ton and an HD truck though. When you look on say GM parts.com just put in your year make and model and then find the part that fits it with a Denali model and heated wheel. Clock spring is in the Air Bag section
I have 2016 tahoe and there is no removing trim around the key that does not exist on my Tahoe.
I found a wheel at a good price, but it has another button (Collision Alert?} above the heated steering wheel button. Does it matter? Thanks!
Nope, just an extra option (I believe). Since there are only two clock spring options (with and without heat) I’m pretty sure you’re good.
What is the model steering wheel that you have in the video? I want one with heated wheel, no crash button, and black leather with silver accents on it. Looks like the same one you have in video.

Do you know what is needed to swap the steering wheel of one from work truck to one with controls
Tony Guerra there is a little bit of wiring involved and I think you need a new cluster too. I’ll be doing this on my ‘19 International CV soon. It’s a Silverado 6500 in disguise. I’ll Shoot a video.
Anyone have a link to where i can buy everything shown in the video? Thanks for the awesome video. Just hoping i can get the parts in!
What year, make, model, interior color?www.gmpartsdirect.com/
Why do you have to replace the clock spring? Is it different than the one from the non heated steering wheel?
Yes, there is an extra wire internally and an extra pigtail for the heat power source. Here’s a link.....scroll down to the second picture and look at part #1 this is for a ‘16 3500 Denali.1/2 tons are different from 3/4 & 1tons.

You sell harness so the steering wheel controls can work in a work truck model 2014 gmc sierra ?
I don’t but here’s a link to a thread that discusses the process.
www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/192664-wt-trim-with-color-dic-steering-wheel-controls-io5-stereo-retrofit/
A couple of questions....
Why didn't you disconnect the positive battery terminal?? Where is the best deal on the parts needed?
Disconnecting the negative works the same only if you contact your wrench to ground while loosening the terminal you won’t damage anything. First look up the correct part number by searching on a GM parts website, then google, eBay and Amazon with those part numbers.
What was the total cost for this upgrade?
Can us just buy the wiring harness and module for the heated steering wheel/cruise control?
Do you mean just the switch part? You might be able to find just the switch but the wheel won’t have a heating element. www.gmpartsdirect.com/oem-parts/gm-switch-23262287
www.gmpartsdirect.com/oem-parts/gm-switch-23262288
Do I disconnect both batteries on a Duramax?
yes
I added the clock spring, and steering wheel, heated wheel doesn’t work, the fuse has power, the violet/white and black under the dash both show ground. What is missing?
Bob Warcimaga I spoke with Phil Gamboa the GM Wiring Guru and he says you’re likely missing the violet wire between the fuse and the plug which the clock spring plugs into. He sells a harness that will get you going. Shoot him a PM on GM-trucks.com
www.gm-trucks.com/forums/profile/159655-pgamboa/
Did you have to Align steering wheel after install? Or does the wheel only go on one way?
I believe it can go on incorrectly. I just eyeballed it and got it right.
I just bought a new 2019 GMC 1500 and was wondering if I could install this or would this void my warranty? Or would it be better if I had the GMC service department install it for me and keep my warranty? Any suggestions?
This was on the ‘14-‘18 1500 body style and the ‘15-‘19 HD body style so it’s not the same as the next gen style. Installing a heated wheel shouldn’t do anything to the warranty though.
Any mods done to your truck dont void the warranty. Google the Magnuson Moss Act. Dealers have to prove that your modification affected the damaged part that you are trying to get repaired under the warranty if they were to deny your warranty claim.
Nice video... do you know the part number in your old steering wheel I got a 2014 GMC Sierra sle and I want to replace for the same steering wheel ?
Yes, 23423449
Yes, wheel is 23423449.
Clock spring is 23193463
Keep in mind that these numbers have likely been updated but should easily cross over on eBay, google, etc...
Thanks you so much just need to swap the steering wheel because all the buttons are gone
Could I buy a leather steering wheel and replace just the leather part on my vinyl WT? That way I don’t have a useless radio control button.
Regan Reed I think there might be two ways to do that, one is if you’re really good with a sewing needle and thread. And two is if you can remove the button on the right and replace it with a blank filler piece. I have seen the right hand side buttons for sale on eBay so I assume that they can be removed.

I'm wondering if the clockspring part number listed in the video supports collision alert? I need the clockspring to support heated steering wheel and collision alert (as well as the other controls that are normally present)
There are essentially 4 different clock springs. 1500 or HD, with or without heat.
What year make model do you have?
@@kevefox .. I have a 2016 3500HD with collision alert.
www.gmpartsstore.com/oem-parts/gm-clock-spring-23381966
The clock spring in the video will work too. It’s for an HD and heated wheel.
What can I do if I dont have the extra heated steering wheel harness, and links?
Hey there, sorry for the delayed response. I thought I responded immediately but it must not have gone through. Phil Gamboa makes everything you need for this Mod. Contact him at sales@harnessdr.com
I’m seeing some heated steering wheels but none come with the clock wheel harness. Where do I get it ?
What year make model, trim level and color wheel do you have? Collision alert?
I would like to do this on my 2018 gmc Sierra 1500. Would you happen to know the part number for the clock spring? The one you show the part number for tells me it won't work.

There you go
@Tinkering Fox Thank you, Sir.
When you remote start your truck does the heat come on the steering wheel on it's own? Or do you have to turn on after you get in the truck?
Unfortunately it does not. The defrost and everything else will pop on to whatever it was set to but the seats and wheel need to be turned on with the key.
Heated seats can be set to turn on with remote start; you’ll find the option in your settings.
Have you heard of anyone using the clock spring you have previously linked in other comments on a 2017 2500? I have bought the steering wheel already, so the clock spring is all I have left to order.
I haven’t heard. Which year, make, model do you have?
Tinkering Fox mines a 17 2500 chevy duramax LT. You’d think if the wheel is pretty much standard across most of the trucks the clock spring would be too but who knows
Maybe I’m ignorant, but why do you have to change the clock spring?
The clock spring is basically a swivel for your wires going into your steering wheel. It makes it so that your air bag and steering wheel controls work without any issues turning and bending them every time you drive. The new clock spring has another pair of wires to power the heating element.
Could you do this to a Honda Element?
I don’t know.i looked around for a minute and saw a few threads on the subject for Civics and CRVs. Find a Element forum and throw out the question.....might find exactly what you’re looking for.
What’s the part numbers for steering wheel and all. Thanks!
I can look them up. What year, 1500 or HD, interior color?
https:www.gmpartsdirect.com/
You can find the wheel under “steering” and the clock spring under “electrical” then “airbag components”
Question I plan on getting the 2015 GMC Sierra HD All Terrain, used, tomorrow. One thing I love on cars in the winter is heated wheels. So I plan to use this video to help me along the way. Now I need to order the parts. Could you just post the links in the comments for each piece and all of us will be able to access it quicker? Thanks!
Sure, what color is the interior? Do you have front collision avoidance?
@@kevefox Sorry for the delayed response. I did a sleeper build in the bed and did a complete upholstery upgrade from cloth to a heavy duty cowhide grain leather. Which was not my idea of a good time. My truck is a 2015 Sierra 2500HD. Black interior. No collision avoidance that I know of. I did buy the wheel and clock spring which came in a couple days ago and plan to install soon when I rewatched the video and you said u had the 3500. So hoping the 2500 has all the same stuff. Feel free to reach out to me at pest_fest@hotmail.com. Thanks.
Installed and works great. The parts you used on your 3500 does work on the 2500's. I did use a multimeter to make sure the trucks heated steering wheel harness was hot before doing anything.
Not going to go through all the comments so I’ll just ask. Will the heated wheel come on automatically if you have remote start? Thanks if you answer.
Nope, it has to be activated manually. The good thing is that it gets warm very quickly
@@kevefox thank you 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Did the swap and the horn doesnt work now. Any clue what may have happened?
Wow, not really sure? I would start by removing the wheel and taking another look at the connector. Possibly a bad clock spring but likely a bad connection.
I have a 06 Suburban and that’s all idk y I am watching this lol
Why do you need to change the clock spring?
The original doesn’t have the provision for a heated wheel
What's the P/N for the clock spring? I have a salvage wheel, with heating the heating element. Is there anything else that I need? Why do you have to change the wire from the airbag module? Or does that just come with the new clock spring?
There are a couple of options on the clock spring. Depending on if you have a 1500 or an HD you will have one or two airbag wires. What year/make/model do you have?
@@kevefox 2017 Silverado 1500 2LT 5.3L 4X4 I pulled the airbag and it does have 2 airbag wires.
