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"?

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.

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.

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.

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.

GM dealerships have even refused to reprogram official GM clusters that people have bought online to swap into their vehicles.

Your best bet is going to be looking online for 3rd party companies that offer automotive programming services.

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.

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.
