the ULTIMATE SILVERADO INTERIOR UPGRADE & DIC wiring how-to GMT800
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The interior of Uglytruck my 2000 Silverado 1500 has seen better days, and the dashboard was cracked beyond repair, so it was time to do something about it, and make a few more upgrades at the same time. A short time ago, I had the opportunity to grab a complete interior from a 2001 GMC Yukon Denali, and now its getting transplanted into my GMT800 Silverado, which means its getting a new instrument cluster, new center console, new dash top, and of course the new cluster bezel, transforming the inside of my Silverado into a near denali. These steps are specific for a 1999-2002 silverado and sierra, but the same basic concepts can apply for the later 2003 to 2007 silverado and sierra as well. Also, we're wiring in a drivers information center/trip computer or DIC into the console to help keep track of the silverado fuel mileage from the turbo big block. I do love the gadgets, and it will be cool to watch it run. I had thought about installing the leather denali seats into my silverado, but because my rear seats are cloth it would be a mis match, and that would bug me so I decided against doing that.

I just did an Escalade interior swap on my 2000 GMC Sierra, after I did a 4.3L to 6.0L AWD conversion. It's nice how easily it is to swap things around on these trucks.

Most companies keep stuff like that. But yes, it's nice once you research what's easy or not.
Looks brand spanking. Loving the video. This is all stuff I would feel comfortable doing and not costing myself thousands if I screwed up. Thanks LT.
Love it! I'm a ford f150 guy and turned 2 '97's into one truck. I love seeing these kinds of builds. You do like I do and clean/make everything look new/ factory. Even if it's not the best looking truck. You were my favorite to watch on the TV show too. Too bad your in Utah. I'm in Minnesota. A little far off of a drive for me. Keep up the good content man!
Would've liked to see the DIC wiring more closely as it was being wired. It was to fast tracked on that part for me.
Love the Denali trim in Ugly Truck...pretty sure thats what I need to find for my rcsb Sierra. Thanks for showing how this upgrades...gives me some more confidence on the electrical side of things.
Hey LT! Loving the content as always. Thought I’d drop a tip or maybe opinion that I find coming to mind often. When I watch your videos in particular I always feel like the music added is too loud and needs to be brought down a few db - particularly on transitions where you may be talking or explaining something. Could all be my imagination though! Making the video is as much an art as you working on the truck, and I for one truly appreciate the small details in that!
I'm Definitely gonna but a DIC in my ls swapped gmt400. This is awesome
Nice work and the interior does look great!! Since those door panels are almost identical you could swap out those speaker grills for the other ones that say bose on them for the fun of it, as you know they are super easy to do. Really enjoy watching your channel and your attention to detail is unreal amazing!! :)
5👍's up LT thanks for taking us all along with you
Man it looks so good. I just did the "big brake" upgrade to 2008-2013, power stop kit from summit today. I think I might go scavenge a Denali or 2 for this build next year. It's a 271k mile truck and it'd be good to feel that "new car" vibe.
keep it up LT! This is fun to watch!

Man, I really shouldn't have watched this video. Now I HAVE to have this DIC for my 02 Silverado, and I also need to replace the jumpseat with a console for the rear AC. I had no idea that was a thing for the early extended cabs.

Great idea 👍🏼👍🏼 I'm absolutely loving the big block route. I'm just tired of looking at and hearing others talk about LS motors 🤔. Yes they can exceed 1500hp but.... Not something that's going to last. Aftermarket big blocks are hovering around the 3000hp mark maxed out. Better parts, beefier construction, big block!

Great video, love all the mods you're doing on the two chevy's, now you're giving me more ideas to do👍. I have a 2000 chevy silverado 3 door stepside Z71 that I'm doing some mods to.. Installed a double din radio with reverse and front cameras and Bluetooth, all interior LED lights, Installed door mirrors with turn signals (wired to body control module) heated ( by adding a relay in fuse box under the hood and changing the a/c controller to one with the rear defroster just plug and play) and puddle lights that i cannot figure how to wire them, tried wiring them to the door courtesy light, but they stay on all the time, any help would be greatly appreciated. ✌
Love it! The details make a difference. I can't wait for the stepside muscle truck. I'm interested if the stepside bed weighs less than the regular bed of the same length.

The stepside reg cab shortbox is the lightest truck on this platform. The outer bed bits are fiberglass. I think actual weight is around 4800lbs?... Dont quote me on that. But that figure is stuck in my head for some reason.
Love the swap.
Very useful info thank you 🔥🔥🔥

Check junk yards in the older chevy/gmc trucks. They have a pocket that if I recall mounts up like that cd changer. I normally pull all my cd players out because I swap over to aftermarket head units and replace the cd unit with thr pocket
Looks great! Cloth seats look much better in my opinion and they don't crack.

You should try to add the aux plug yourself to your bose radio! There are numerous tutorials to add the aux plug and you don't need to be good in electronics to do this mod. I did it on two delco radios on my old Sierra and it went great! Would make a good video too!
I'm going to try to install the dic from the blazer into the overhead console in my gmt400. In the 98, it's supposed to be able to give mpg and all that.

I have the radio you mentioned form eBay “1 factory radio” it’s awesome in my gmt 400 (same radio), I got the one with a CD player, headphone jack and AV wires for amp hook ups NO Bluetooth. The Bluetooth is only for music you can’t use it as a hands free, only the headphone jack hook up works for talking, it comes in perfect and clear, I’ve had mine for 4 years now with no problems. You can get a “work truck” cubby tray form a gmt 400 to replace that 6 disc it fits in a gmt 800 also eBay or Amazon buy.

Thankyou for that video, not too many people explain the depth as you do on your work. I guess you miss Jeremy Bumpus. You seem to stand in front of the picture a lot, you both did a great job on trucks. Lol
The update was very good for you, it is an impeccable job in my opinion, for this reason I have decided to install the DIC in my truck, I just acquired it today, but the display does not have the connector or cables. Could you please tell me where I could get this connector? In the same way, I would ask you for support if you could provide me with a diagram indicating the connections of the DIC in the electrical system, I know that in your video you explain it on the blackboard, but I would be very grateful if you could provide me with a printed copy. I thank you in advance for your comments and again my congratulations for your work. Regards,
and now i’ll be installing a DIC in my truck 😂🙌🏼
Good job LT. I could never find the schematic for that DIC. I think I had part of it but nobody had confirmed if it worked or not. I plan on purchasing one eventually and mounting it in the cubby in the overhead console since I have the 2003-2007 console in my 99. When you do replace the lights please post a video on that as well! I have blue LEDs in all the switches and would have to switch those ones too haha! Thanks for the content Edit: My vote is definitely add the leather seats and look for a backseat later. The heated seats rock. Also did you get the shifter out of the Denali? It is leather wrapped and kinda cool. I have one from an Escalade.
@LawrenceTolman
2 жыл бұрын
the shifter that was in the denali was kinda beat up, and not even sure it was a good leather one, so I left it. Also left the steering wheel since it was the lighter cream color, and I prefer the darker steering wheel
Wow - looks good! Thinking of doing the same to my 05.. any experience w/the '14 consoles? Have heard they can work but bit cautious as I haven't seen much on it! Have heard the mounting brackets can be different, but I am more worried about how it fits at the end front dash section.
Now i love how you are doing the full size trucks but how about some first gen s10 love Lt

Great video, very informative. Quick question, I have a 2001 silverado and I am trying to convert the switches on the doors (windows and locks) to the 03-06 style. Do you have the pinout and color codes for the 03-06 switch wiring? Thanks in advance.
FYI, to make life easier, there is a pocket that is a direct fit for where the CD changer goes in the console.
Just finished my 4l80e swap thanks to your series! Now I'm going for the console swap.. Do you have any preference on choosing the 01-02 version vs the 03-06 version of this console? (excluding all electronics)
Hey LT I’m doing the same swap on mine but I went with an Escalade console. I wanted to see if you were able to get a little better video of how you wired up the DIC. I know you have the colors and pins posted but wanted to see if you have how you ran your wires and actually made the connections thanks truck is looking awesome by the way
I just found your channel while looking for this exact video! Im just curious if the DIC worked out or if there was anything else you had to sort out later on? I am looking to add one to my 2000 Sierra 1500 as well.
Hey LT, just a thought, wire in those other 2 power ports in the console, and put in USB ports so your dash power isn't so busy.

Can you add power folding mirrors to your truck. Havent figured out how to wire mine up with factory switch from a Escalade, in my 02 Silverado
I think I would just do the correct full Denali swap...seats,panels,etc. Find a rear leather bench. I have slight back issues and really love using heated seats to loosen up abit...that is probably why Im thinking that direction 😅
I had a 02cc with the middle console (not Denali), never liked it. I now am working on a 00 with the 40,20,40 front and I like I much more. Idk why, but it feels more like a truck. I did buy the flip out cup holder from the bay and i feel like when it's extended it does everything a dedicated center does when you want it. Replaced 2 of the 3 "cig lighters" with a 3.0 USB to my double din and a Amazon dual 3.0 \ volt meter.
Hey LT i have a question for you. Did they ever make this style of console with rear vents? Im wanting to swap one into my cc 06 slt but the stock console has the vents and i would really like to retain. Thanks
I have a 2002 base model Silverado, you think if I get a 2003 Denali I can change the dash and everything completely and make it electric?

I'd love to have a dic gauge in my obs when i tackle the LS swap in it, would be cool to keep an eye on mpg and fuel consumption. Any idea what data it reads from the obd2 port pin?
