Well done man! Looks great.
Thanks! I love your videos. Your channel inspired me to start this one so that compliment means a lot!
Just wanted to say thanks, used your video as a guide and everything went smoothly!
That’s awesome man! I’m glad the video was helpful!
Good job! I wouldn’t have the patience and would be too paranoid that I’d break something
Thank you!
Good video, been nice to see cluster lights at night.
The high country cluster lights are really no different than the cluster lights used on other trims. The only difference is the digital screen is larger.
Awesome video...i just got an rst and im gonna upgrade my cluster to this one now.
I’m glad you liked the video! Thanks for watching!
The new gauge cluster looks nice. Thanks for showing that with a little patience, anyone can do a professional looking removal/install of this type of upgrade. I may have missed it in the video, but are you using the same size socket on all of the "screws"?
Thanks for the comment!
All hex head screws are the same socket.
All torx screws are the same size torx bit.
That’s pretty cool. I might give it a try.
I have watched several of these Cluster Videos, might I suggest turning the engine on, placing the truck in Drive - Low Gear, then shut the engine off with Gear Selector down, give yourself more room to work.
The gear selector wasn’t really in the way. The main problem was the glass/plastic and the cluster bezel not coming all the way out because it is attached to the rubber that goes around the steering the column. If I could have gotten that bezel piece all of the way out I would have had plenty of room.
What happens if you buy a used cluster off ebay and don't have it programmed to your VIN?
It won’t be able to display any of the data from your truck’s computer system and sense all gauge data is transmitted electronically in modern vehicles, it may completely prevent the cluster from working at all.
A friend of mine wants to do that to his truck, I thought it was a lot more work than that.
Very nice upgrade 👍 now you have me thinking of getting that first piece you clipped off that sits on top of the dash from a ltz so it's leather wrapped.
I’ve thought about swapping out that piece as well but haven’t made a final decision yet. It would probably be one of the least costly and time consuming changes for my truck. 😂
@@SouthpawGarage I was trying to find one online yesterday but I didn't have any luck
You can try this link. It shows 2 leather cluster visors listed (one black and one cocoa)
www.gmpartsonline.net/v-2019-chevrolet-silverado-1500--lt--5-3l-v8-gas/body--instrument-panel-components
Thanks for that but that was actually the wrong visor. I know it says 2019 but of you look closely it's for the older body style. Just ordered the correct one and it's actually cheaper. $70 and some change 👍
84054788 is correct part #
Well this work on a 23 Silverado custom
I can't confirm 100%, but it should. This interior for the 2022-2023 Custom trim trucks is the same as the 2019-2021 trucks so you should be able to use a gauge cluster from a 2019-2022 Silverado High Country.
Looks awesome, i found one for my truck on ebay and only have 3k more the n my truck can i just installed and I would work , or i need to programed?
It will have to be reprogrammed to your truck’s VIN or it won’t be able to display correct information.
Thanks for your response, so the cluster won't work at all or would work but with the wrong milles? Where can I send it to be programed?
I’m not sure if it will work at all or not. I don’t have any information on places to reprogram it. I bought mine from infotainment.com and they do programming when items are purchased. I’m not sure if they take in pre-purchased items and program them or not, but you could check with them and ask.
Here I am hoping this company will have the 2022 new all digital cluster in the future 😅
I thought about that also, but it probably won’t fit on anything before 2022. I’m pretty sure the clusters themselves and the mounting areas are shaped different between the vehicles.
@@SouthpawGarage I was looking at some videos and the dash in front of you more or less looks the same. The infotainment in the middle of the truck definitely is different though.
How do you get the speed limit sign to work??
There is an option in the display’s settings to turn the speed limit indicator on or off. I did notice that the speed limit indicator does not always register a road’s speed. It works best on larger roads, but is hit and miss on smaller ones, as far as even displaying a speed at all. I actually turned it off about week or so later because I just didn’t really feel like I got any kind of benefit out of having it on.
This was a very cool video. How much was the cluster? Did you return back your old one? And did they have to program it for your truck specifically? Or it was. Off the shelf?
The cluster was $1000. They do not require the old one to be sent back so I kept it for now. I may try to sell it on eBay or something later to try and make back some of the cost. When you place the order with the company (link in video description), you provide them with your VIN and they program it for your vehicle before shipping it to you.
@@SouthpawGarage 🙏🙏🙏
Do you need to program the new cluster?
The company I ordered from did the programming before shipping it out. I just had to provide my vehicle info to them.
I appreciate your video. I considered this on my custom, but am reconsidering after thinking about pulling the dash out of my truck just so my guages are digital! Haha
I’m glad you liked the video. The switch isn’t as bad as it looks as long as you know the steps. Lol
When I got mine hooked up it comes with with service front camera, service axel and all sorts of other things every time I start it. Is there a way to get that turned off?
I never had any messages like that so unfortunately I’m not sure what to do about it. You could try emailing the company you ordered the cluster from and see if they can tell you why those messages are popping up.
What's the gray plug in the back side of the cluster for?
I believe that plug is for vehicles that have the front & rear park assist feature so that the sensors display on the cluster, but I’m not entirely sure if that is accurate. The install instructions for my truck did not include information on that plug.
Where did you buy the cluster? Is gonna work on a 2020 WT (simplest) truck? Do I need to flash it?
I bought it from infotainment.com. There is a link in the video description. I would assume the WT would work with it. It looks like the WT has the same gauge cluster as the other trim levels so it should just be plug and play. You can always email the infotainment.com support and ask just to be sure. I’m not sure what you mean by “flash it” but I personally didn’t have to do anything other than provide my truck info to the company when I ordered it. They programmed the gauge cluster for my truck’s specific VIN so all I had to do was plug it in when I got it.
I just found out that the WT does not have the control buttons in the right side of the steering wheel and those are required for the updated gauge cluster. I apologize.
What i learned from this is that I have a hidden pistol sized cavity within arms reach that can be popped off on the fly. Beautiful
😂😂
Where did you get the black bowtie for your steering wheel?
It came with the truck. My truck had all black bowties from the factory (wheel caps, grill, and steering wheel)
Do you know if this will work on a 2022, 1500 custom?
If your truck is the refreshed model with the new interior, this example will not work. The refreshed interior has an entirely new gauge cluster system with different programming. If your truck is a 2022 Silverado LTD, it’s possible it will work as the LTDs keep the previous interior and design, but I would recommend doing some research specifically for your year model. My video is mostly for 2019-2021 models. I can’t really speak for models after 2021.
Is it required to have it programmed to your VIN? Not savvy with it at all. I have a used one I can snag for $250 but I wasn’t sure what the vin programming thing is.
The company that I ordered from (Infotainment.com) does say that they need to be programmed for your VIN. My understanding is that is how it connects to the computer that is in your vehicle (to get mileage, etc). Infotainment’s support was fairly responsive when I reached out to them so they may be able to tell you whether or not purchasing a used one would require any type of programming.
@@SouthpawGarage awesome! Thank you. I tried to do some more digging. I have a feeling if I buy a used one for $300 I’ll have to spend the money for them to program it. It would be worth the extra few hundred to save the hassle. I’m slowly trying to upgrade my LT. I wanted the bench seats but I dislike some of the LT features. Thank you for the quick reply.
@@jamesrowe6880 called my local dealer they have a 21 cluster for $350 but found it cheaper online. Service dept programs the cluster for $169.88 at my dealer. Hope that helps
@@mikebecerramusic oh that’s not bad at all is that $169 including install or just programming?
@@jamesrowe6880 just programming they said they can do it same day usually
I have a 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD Custom and WAMS just launched a new cluster for it. Their description says setup procedure done by a GM dealership or shop with access to GM Techline Connect. Apparently they have to program it. I called 4 dealerships and no one will touch it. What are your thoughts? Thank you in advance.
It’s going to be very difficult to find a dealership that will program an aftermarket cluster for you. Most dealerships will pretty much refuse to hook anything up to the computer that is not a GM approved part. GM dealerships have even refused to reprogram official GM clusters that people have bought online to swap into their vehicles. I got lucky and was able to purchase my gauge cluster from a company that does all of the programming themselves. Your best bet is going to be looking online for 3rd party companies that offer automotive programming services.
White Automotive and Media Service just came out with a cluster for my vehicle but still requires me to take to dealership for programming. They will need a Service Programming System. The dealership will not program it for me. @@SouthpawGarage
Where did you buy it at Im looking for a gmc at4 one
Infotainment.com - there is a link to the Silverado one in the video description that you can use to get to the website. I know they have a GMC one. I was debating on getting the GMC one originally, but decided it would look weird to have a gauge cluster that has GMC imprinted on it in a Silverado. 😂
Did a check engine light come on after install?
No. When buying a new gauge cluster it has to be programmed to your vehicles VIN. Any company that you buy a new one from should program it before shipping. If you buy a used one, you will have to have it reprogrammed. As long as you make sure the gauge cluster is programmed to your vehicle’s VIN, you shouldn’t have any issues.
How did u get the one without the speed limit indicator?
It had the speed limit indicator. I just turned it off in the display settings.
I have 2023 is not working
This video is for 2019-2021. That’s listed in the title. 2022 and newer trucks have a completely different system.
I bought a 2019 2500HD work truck. The inside is basic. You have like a rectangle screen while mine has a square or portrait looking screen. Would buying an upgraded cluster or upgraded steering wheel with the radio buttons work or it wouldn't be compatible?
The upgraded gauge cluster doesn’t work with the steering wheel in the Work Truck trim. You would have to upgrade your steering wheel to one that has the steering wheel controls on both sides and make sure they are wired up properly so the controls work. I don’t know anything about upgrading the steering wheels, though so I can’t really make a recommendation on whether or not you should do it or if the upgraded steering wheel would even work.
@@SouthpawGarage I've heard that base models have all connections for what the fancy models have and some say is plug and play or at least program the computer but I guess I can live going to work without some fancy things haha. Thanks for the reply.
You’re welcome. If all the connections are there, then it would really just come down to price and what you want to spend for some fancy things. Lol. Thanks for the comments!
@@SouthpawGarage I know there's a connector not in use next to the hood latch so that must be for when you need a sensor connected to the latch when you have remote start or something. Maybe one day I'll take appart things that can be upgraded and see if the connections are the same or if there are more unused connections laying around.
Will this work on a 2019 trail boss ?
It should work on any 2019 Silverado truck other than the LD (previous generation body style). Infotainment.com (the company I ordered it from) should be able to tell you if your truck is compatible if you want to check and be 100% sure
Same process for the WT model?
I’m not sure about the WT. The lowest trim that I have confirmation of for the cluster swap process is Custom.
Again I’m spoiled. My 2020 GMC 2500 Denali came with this factory.
I am super happy with my RST. I prefer it over all the chrome on the Denali’s and High Countries. Unfortunately that meant sacrificing some tech features. I’m just glad I’ve been able to add them myself over time so I could get the best of both world for myself. 😎
@@SouthpawGarage I couldn’t agree with you more on the chrome. I have had the truck three weeks and can’t wait for the weather to warm up to wrap as much chrome as possible.
infotaiment program the cluster ?
Yep. They programmed it when I ordered it and provided my truck’s information.
How much was the new digital cluster?
$1000 from infotainment.com.
Is that a gm made cluster? Or is it after market?
That is the official GM cluster for the Silverado High Country.
Did you have to program anything ?
The company that I ordered the cluster from does the programming. You send them your VIN when you place an order and they get the cluster programmed so that it’s just plug-n-play when you receive it.
Does it work with a Pulsar LT?
I don’t have a Pulsar LT so I can’t verify, but it should. There’s no reason why it wouldn’t because the gauge cluster is programmed to the truck’s VIN in order to connect to the ECU which is what the Pulsar connects to as well.
Do you recommend it ???
Absolutely! As always, it would be nice if the upgrade wasn’t quite so highly priced, but it definitely gives a more modern and futuristic feel to the current Silverado. I love seeing the larger digital display and new digital gauges.
did you get rid of that LT cluster?
I have it listed for sale on Facebook Marketplace: facebook.com/marketplace/item/1017511415497539/
My dealer told me that my cluster is causing multiple codes to pop up. Have you had your truck at the dealer for anything and did they mention that to you?
I haven’t had any issues with the cluster. My truck has been in for a check engine light in a couple of occasions, but those didn’t have anything to do with the cluster. One code was for the transmission wiring harness and one code was for the fuel sending wiring harness. They both had shorts and had to be replaced. Dealer has not mentioned anything about the cluster being an issue.
@@SouthpawGarage mine went in for a check engine light. Ended up being the purge valve. They mentioned the codes and asked about the cluster. They seemed dumbfounded. WAMS said it’s normal for that to happen. My guess is that there is something wrong with the ECM. The truck had communication issues prior to the cluster install. Thanks for the reply
You’re welcome. One time when I took my truck in for a check engine light, they said it was the purge valve also and they replaced it (or at least replaced the solenoid). Check engine light came back on less than a week later. They replaced the same part again. Check engine light came back on a week later. They ended up doing a full check of the wiring for the fuel systems and found a short in one of the harnesses (I think it was for the sending unit as stated previously, but it may have been the purge valve’s harness, now that you mention it). Check engine light, thankfully, has stayed off ever since. *knock on wood*
Hello, I changed the cluster to my 1500 GMC Sierra 2021, I changed it for a digital one from another truck, but it shows me the functions of the other truck in mine, how I can configure it, and it also doesn't show me the miles I travel or the miles on the engine. Please someone who can help me configure it, thank you
Nice job will it work on a 2020 custom??
It definitely should. The Custom gauge cluster should use the same connector as the other Silverados.
@@SouthpawGarage thanks
The description says the steering wheel must have the right side controls. The custom has the WT wheel with no right side controls so it will not work on a WT trim.
Thank you for that information. I did not realize the steering wheels were different. I appreciate the helpful response!
Sad, looks really great wish I could do it on my 2020 2500 Custom. unfortunately don't have the buttons on the right side of my steering wheel that would control the cluster itself. never ending battle looking for a replacement cluster
just get a new steering wheel with the buttons.
Hey man i just ordered and new steering wheel to go in my 21 Silverado custom so the cluster can work here’s the link it’s around $200 www.ebay.com/itm/2019-Silverado1500-Heated-Steering-Wheel-Assembly-in-Atmosphere-Leather-84755548-/224427376132?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&fbclid=IwAR0ooWFQzdlLoX2phcOuBdvBQ9CTxqn4f64cyKFL_Oi8Sudeq5WR2dZGwA4
is it possible to install 22 digital clusters on tahoe 2021 boring cluster
I’m not sure. It’s hard to tell if the new gauge clusters are the same shape as the 2019-2021 versions. I also don’t have any way to know if the wire harness is the same or if GM changed it which would make it incompatible with previous year models.
Sadly it isn’t (gm tech here), due to the 2022 using a Google software vs the 2021 that uses gm’s own proprietary system
@@harveylemmer9930 quick question, I got a denali cluster and was planning to send it to WAMs but they no longer program used clusters. As it was already programmed for a silverado, could I just take it to the dealer and have them program it to my Vin (the only difference?)
@@harveylemmer9930 Being a GM Tech, do you know if a 2020 SIlverado HD Hood will fit on a 2019 Silverado 1500? I love the look of the HD hood and would like to verify fitment before investing in one.
Does the new cluster get programmed to the current mileage from the old cluster?
When ordering the cluster, you will need to provide the company with your VIN so they can program the cluster for your vehicle’s onboard computer system. That will allow the cluster to pull over your mileage. You will also want to add a note in your order telling the company what your engine hours are if you don’t want those to show up as zero when you first install the new cluster.
Your fuel economy calculator will be reset, but that’s not a big deal. I was mainly upset about losing my fuel economy calculations because I had gotten my truck up to 30mpg on the way back from vacation last year so I always felt good seeing that number listed for my max fuel economy. Lol
@@SouthpawGarage sucks to lose the MPG estimator, but I think I can live without it. I put a 4inch lift on with 35s so gas went out the window for me lol. I appreciate the response. Hard to get many RUclipsrs to respond. I appreciate it. Subscribed.
I always try to answer questions when I can, although I don’t always have the answer. I appreciate you subscribing!
And just to be clear, you don’t completely lose the MPG estimator. It just starts over from scratch when you switch the gauge cluster.
@@SouthpawGarage gotcha. Thank you again. 🤙
Does this upgrade give you the HUD?
No. This is the gauge cluster only. There is no place on a Silverado for a HUD screen to be added if it doesn’t already have it from the factory. To add OEM HUD, you would either have to cut a hole in the top of your dash for the display or completely replace the entire top of your dash with a dash that came out of a truck with HUD. You would also have to add the HUD switches to the left of the steering column which would include more cutting or replacing of parts.
To get HUD without having to cut or replace your entire dash, you will have to look at aftermarket options that are made to sit on top of the dash you already have.
No, separate upgrade. Requires some cutting on the interior. Very $$$$$
How long did it take you think?
With recording the video it took about 2 hours. Probably could do it in about half the time or even less if I wasn’t doing the video and explaining it along the way.
Really the longest part was taking the screws out of the bottom of the cluster frame/cover piece because they aren’t the easiest to get to.
Excuse me friend I changed the cluster to my silverado 3500hd dieses and you didn't tell me how many miles the truck has
Um what? I have no idea what you’re talking about.
I have the same problem
Can u tell me how do u fix it ?
