Denali Cluster swap

[silveradoman]

Has anybody tried to swap a silverado instrument cluster with a Denali cluster with the added trans temp gauge on a truck that reads kilometers? the denali dash is in miles, can it be done?

I was looking into this a couple months ago. I'm not sure about the miles/kilometers thing but I do know you need to send both clusters in to a specialty shop to program the new one with your vehicles miles AND hours. This has to be done by someone certified to keep your vehicles mileage legal. And yes, the hours and mileage of both the gauge and the master computer have to be within a certain %.

you can find Denali and Escelade gauges pretty cheap if your lucky ($100-200) on ebay. It's finding someone certified (and cheap enough, another ~$200), and the down time of your truck while waiting that's the killer.

you probably already know but anyone else that doesnt know, from what I understand, ALL the trucks are already wired for a trans temp gauge. GM just was too cheap to put the gauge in the less than HD trucks. So it's supposed to be a plug and go mod.

Thanks guys, my PRND lights are flickering now, so it´s a matter of time before I have to change the thing anyway, might as well put one with the temp gage on.

Question, what if I keep my ols cluster for when I sell the truck and just add both readings???? I would really love to save those extra 200 bucks, besides I intent to keep this truck until it dies, I´m kinda tired also of paying the depretiation value for a truck then sell it when it´s still in pretty good shape, just to do the math and find out I´m losing money on they deal.
