New Leather Steering Wheel Swap | 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD Custom W/ Duramax

[@BryceRFlatt]

You should just switch over the left steering wheel controls on your old steering wheel to the new one. Would require more take apart of the new wheel, but that way you dont have to worry about having the heating button there and not working. Thinking about doing the same thing for my trail boss.

[@Myksgarage]

I’m going to try to get the heated button to work, stay tuned….

[@donavonrobbins1908]

Making any headway with the heater button? Will be making an order soon and contemplating that option. Thanks.

[@donavonrobbins1908]

@@Myksgarage just did my wheel. I ordered one without the heat button from Rock Auto. If you have a heat control, WAMs is trying to crack the equation I hear. In the meantime. I just put a hair dryer on the main bolt for a little while, then with a 1/2" drive breaker bar, it came right off.

[@albertcooper7445]

Sorry for the late question, but did you have to swap out the clock spring?

I didn't have to change out the clock spring

Did you have to add a harness to make audio controls work?@@Myksgarage

[@vasileh5421]

what you did with the old steering wheel . I think I want to buy that steering wheel

[@Myksgarage]

I just sold mine on EBay

[@tylerinterlandi]

Did the replacement part you listed come with all of the audio controls or did you need to switch them over? & is the heated steering wheel plug & play?

[@Myksgarage]

The wheel I Bought came with all the controls. Heated steering wheel didn't work because mine was not wired from the factory for it

[@tylerinterlandi]

@@MyksgarageDo you know how to make it work?

[@kenna.9368]

Bought a 2022 2500 custom and the first week I noticed how i frowned at the steering wheel too. It’s hard and slippery, I’ll just add a steering cover from amazon. Quick and easy fix.

[@Myksgarage]

Yeah a cover is a good idea.

[@micmic9410]

Yea swapping mine out. Hard work hands no bueno on that plastic type.

[@Myksgarage]

Yeah it's a nice upgrade! Here is a nice example: www.ebay.com/itm/255747793467?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=3Zk7MlOGTPy&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=wd61b5SvTMO&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

[@Clay_333]

Did you ever get the heated steering wheel working? I have a 2023 Blazer 2LT with that same wheel that I would like to change over to a leather wrapped, but would really love to get a heated wheel in the process. Thanks

[@Myksgarage]

I ended up selling the truck and I didn't mess with the heated function

[@ismaelgarcia2546]

Did the back volume and track skip keys from the back of the wheel work fine after the wheel swap? Just wondering since it wasn’t shown on camera.

[@Myksgarage]

Yes those work fine

[@lmax4094]

Do you know what torque amount you need to tighten the bolt or did you just use the impact driver and guess? Thanks for the video!

[@Myksgarage]

I didn’t use a torque wrench, just the impact driver

[@kensupernor8487]

Is it possible to put the steering wheel on crooked? If you don’t get the notches lined up? Or can it only go on one way?

[@Myksgarage]

You can put it in Crooked, you have to line up the marks or it will be misaligned

[@devincollar4335]

Does a 1500 only have the battery terminal on the passenger side to disconnect?

[@Myksgarage]

I believe so

[@colsonsasseen2638]

I have the exact same truck but a 2024, mine doesn’t have steering wheel control and it’s driving me nuts.

[@Myksgarage]

Yeah it drove me crazy too

[@albertcooper7445]

did you change out your wheel?

[@joediduch5457]

I have a 2020 custom with the halogen headlights. Is there a way to turn off the headlights off of auto? Il turn them off then everytime i start my truck there on again an its driving me crazy! My headlights are on even a bright sunny day.

[@Myksgarage]

Not sure about that one.

[@carlosvale8198]

check the fuse box and see if the fuse for heated seat is missing and installed, The wiring harness might be the same for both models

[@Myksgarage]

I'll have to do that

[@peterossi]

@@Myksgarage Is there a way to get the heat to work? Obviously you should. I want to do the same but make the heated option work.

[@manuelmontanez6519]

i was able to break that center bolt loose with a ratchet, but after a few turns it stopped and got really tight. im wondering if i can use heat and an impact gun? or could it be possible they stipped it at the dealer when they did the recall? all im trying to do is move the steering wheel a couple notches to the right to center it perfectly. at the dealer they told me it cant be further adjusted, which is b.s…

[@Myksgarage]

Yeah I would use an impact wrench

[@albertcooper7445]

When you swapped your steering wheel, did you have to get your pre-crash reprogrammed?

[@Myksgarage]

I'm not sure what that is, so I guess no....

[@albertcooper7445]

The precrash is located on the left side of the steering wheel that shows two car icons crashing into each other@@Myksgarage

[@jiangun]

Question, just purchased a 2020 silverado 1500 custom, I don't have the controls on the right nor do I have the audio toggle pads on the back of the wheel ( Both sides). Is this just a matter of plug and play?

[@Myksgarage]

Possibly, but I can't confirm because mine had the audio controls. I just wanted the leather steering wheel.

[@bkeindl]

I want to do the same to my 2023 silverado 1500 custom. When looking on ebay how did you know what steering wheel fits your truck ? I called the dealer but they cant help me. Also do they airbags for all steering wheels ?

[@Myksgarage]

Just look for 2020 and newer GM steering wheels, For example, here's one: www.ebay.com/itm/334840888835?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=79JjQwSlQUG&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=wd61b5SvTMO&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

[@juanmsalazar7555]

My steering wheel does not have the cellphone option on the right side of the steering wheel. Will the wiring be there if i purchased a steering wheel with the cellphone buttons?.

[@Myksgarage]

Good question, not sure. My truck did not have the heating steering wheel option however the new wheel did and when I hooked it up the wiring was not there so it didn't function, that could be the case for yours.

[@fosternotavailable]

Whats the GM Model number of that steering wheel ypu got off ebay?

[@Myksgarage]

I'll have to check

I just upgraded to the same but the lights on the controls dont light up now also airbag is not a perfect fit

[@Myksgarage]

Interesting 🤔

[@michaelrivera4504]

Got a question for those of you have attempted this. I found a wheel but it does not have front collision( my current one does). I plan on swapping out and keeping all of my controls. Do we think that the new wheel will lack any wiring needed for my front collision to continue working once I swap?

[@Myksgarage]

You should be able to swap over all of your controls to the new wheel

[@jasonconnerley6753]

Has anyone found out if this works? I have a 2022 2500hd custom and it has the front collision alert. Can I use the leather wheel #84646078 w/o heat, w/o front collision and just install my existing front collision switch into this wheel!? Or should I order the wheel #84946343 with front collision and with heat and install my switch in that. Or just keep the switch in that wheel and the heated wheel switch would not work. Would like the heated wheel option but I haven't found anyone who got that to work yet so I would like to use my switch with just front collision in the wheel so I don't have a wheel heat switch thats not working. Thanks

[@michaelrivera4504]

@@jasonconnerley6753 you want to find one with your existing features, if they have more you’re ok, but they probably won’t work. If the new one has the extra heated option, you can just replace the buttons with yours so you won’t have a dead heat button. This is the route I took with both of my upgrades.

[@jasonconnerley6753]

Ok, thank you Micheal👍 I was thinking the same...to get a leather wheel with more options than I have vs the one without front collision. Wasn't sure how the wiring works but I would feel safer getting the wheel with the heat so that I know my front collision will work, and just change the switch so there is not a non-functional heat button. Was just trying to save a few dollars if I could...lol Thank you!

[@jasonconnerley6753]

Does anyone know what color the rubber wheel is in the custom trim? Trying to figure out if I should order the black leather wheel or the extra very dark atmosphere leather wheel? Haven't received my truck yet. My wt is obviously black but on the custom vids. the wheel looks lighter possibly...help! Lol

[@michaelpittman9029]

I have a 2022 Silverado Custom without any buttons on the right side. When I bought the truck I didn’t think it was a big deal but it’s been driving me crazy. I want volume control and to be able to skip songs through the steering wheel so I was looking to do this. What else would need to be added if I don’t already have buttons on the right side?

[@Myksgarage]

Good question, I'm not sure what else you need to make this work

[@theJaseEdwards]

If it’s a 2022.5 “refresh” no one has shared how to install one. I have a 2023 (built 12/22) Z71 Trail Boss Custom without the steering wheel radio control option, and wanna do this too, but I’m hearing that the wiring harnesses are slightly different than the 2020-pre 2022.5 models. If yours is a pre-2022.5 model it’s as simple as a single wire. There’s a guy that shows it as he installs a High Country dash cluster.

For anybody else without an impact qrench, put a hair dryer set on high heat on the nut for a few minutes. Then it will break loose with a breaker bar and socket. It won't take a lot of force when warmed up a bit.
