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 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.

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.

Basically I'm wondering if the connector on the wheel will be different since I purchased the wheel w/ heat and crash alert.
@kevefox5 жыл бұрын
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.

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.
@kevefox4 жыл бұрын
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.

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?
@kevefox4 жыл бұрын
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.
@consuelaalvarez48614 жыл бұрын
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.
