the ULTIMATE SILVERADO INTERIOR UPGRADE & DIC wiring how-to GMT800
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ก.ค. 2024
- 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.

hey guys: I'm looking for a 2001+ denali front clip, in black, somewhere close to Utah. Hood, grille, bumper, lights, and all. Let me know if you've got anything!
The light output from the Denali headlights is horrible compared to the regular lights. Even with LEDs
I had great luck with some cheap DDM HIDs on my 03 Sierra Denali. Later retrofitted Morimoto lenses into the stock Denali housings using an adapter plate.
You can probably find something in Vegas.
There’s a guy parting one out on KSL
Will the Denali headlights fit 2000 Silverado?
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.
What year escalade

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 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.
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.
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!
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!! :)
I'm Definitely gonna but a DIC in my ls swapped gmt400. This is awesome
You’re content is awesome man super informative and nicely done love to see it!
I appreciate that!
5👍's up LT thanks for taking us all along with you
keep it up LT! This is fun to watch!
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!
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.
Great job LT 👌 looks great thanks for the hard work
That's pretty cool I never knew anything like that existed in those years
Picked up the ebay radio (bluetooth) you mentioned for my '98 truck and its great.
I definitely like the upgrades on the ugly truck
Great info. awesome job LT👌
Thanks 👍
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!
Totally agree! Can't wait to see what the 547 is capable of
Looking really good LT
Love mixing and matching factory stuff
Me too!
Considering doing it myself,appreciate the vid.
Great video LT!
Nice upgrade!
This is awesome man enjoyed the video
Very nice work LT!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video!
Looking really good. I love how modular these trucks are. Keep up the good work. Have you seen the LED upgrades for the dash lights?
This guy is precise
Nice job LT. Looks great!
Looks great! Cloth seats look much better in my opinion and they don't crack.
Ya I don't have much of a preference I guess
Looks great LT
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. ✌
Nice work 👍
Love the swap.
Added the DIC to the overhead cubie on my 02 Avalanche many moon ago...I Liked the top speed recall in it.
Hope that isn't her in your avatar pic..
@@locogringo4rzl HAHA , nope.
@@undnrchevys4810 that’s good! Haha, fellow 02 Avy owner 🙋🏼♂️
Very useful info thank you 🔥🔥🔥
Glad it was helpful!
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.
glad to hear that it works nicely. I kinda want one for all of my trucks.
@@LawrenceTolman yes me to have a 99 suburban, 2000 c2500 ccsb, and a 2000 c3500 cclb only have 1 radio want to get 2 more but there pricy compared to aftermarket radios
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.
I much prefer the cloth manual seats to leather power. My sister has a Tahoe with the leather seats and whenever i drive it it feels like I’m slipping out the seat, also it gets hot in the summer. Great work, keep it up👍
agreed, the leather ones do seem very slippery
Awesome video! Was really hoping you tackled the powered seats. I have manual seats I’m also converted to powerd/htd and coulda definitely used guidance on approach!!
As far as i know just run power to them and your good to go. I have power seats which i adjust by running power when i need it
Lt looking fresh
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
I just found your channel and I couldn’t figure out why you looked so familiar finally realized you’re LT! Used to love watching those shows on Saturday mornings
well thanks for stopping by and subscribing to the channel!
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.
Looks nice
Ugly truck ain’t so ugly no more 🔥
nope, slowly looking better and better
Put the Denali seats in the step side along with your old console
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.
Very nice. Thanks
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!
FYI, to make life easier, there is a pocket that is a direct fit for where the CD changer goes in the console.
Looks great but we did not hear it. I watched all of the parts to this in hope to hear. Well done sir!
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.
and now i’ll be installing a DIC in my truck 😂🙌🏼
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,
Man that’s pretty id love to have that in mine
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.
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
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)
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
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.
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
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 remember messing around with my dads Denali computer you can change the lights time out and trailer lights
Hi LT, what is the name of the twist handle ratchet you were using? Thanks!
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.
So how would I go about this in my 2001 Sierra rcsb? Basically the same? Cause I'd like to keep the dark grey interior it's got, and most Denali interiors I've seen are that two tone tan color.
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? I assume it keeps an eye on fuel tank level to calculate disrance remaining. If so, this might not be for me unfortunately
It would gather fuel tank level and fuel being currently used
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.
I really should hard wire a pair of USB ports inside the console.
They do make a simple cubbie replacement for the CD player. Amazon or ebay have them.
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.
I need ur help how do I convert the basic Tahoe ac control with the Denali lcd dual climate control my main blue plug pops right in but the second plug is different I’m getting power and illumination but no fan speed or ac or heat
I have a 99 tahoe 4dr and am trying to find what will work in it. Any suggestions 🤔
Now i love how you are doing the full size trucks but how about some first gen s10 love Lt
its on my list lol... to many projects to keep up with already.
Any tips on how to fix the paint on the hood ? Mines looks like his
Can you get to the heater core with just dash cap removed?
If I want to do just the Denali bezel do I have to swap dash?
How does that light from the ash tray light work/turn on ???? I Need help
I always wanted to put the dic box in my 4th gen camaro, but never got around to it
I have had good luck with 303 aerospace protectant on the dash and interior. It is not very shiny and has good uv protection which is more of an issue here at high altitude in Colorado and I would think for you in Utah as well.
Never heard of that, but Ill have to check it out
What do those drive meters/trip meters come out of? or did i miss it in the video? lol
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?
Imma do a video on my interior soon.
Cleetus shirt spotted 🦅🇺🇸
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 😅
Hello doing 2002 silverado to 2003 escalade any way to hook up 6 cd changer to a kenwood radio thxxxx Scott
Hey LT, I have a 2004 Silverado I want to convert the overhead console for a console with homelink. I was wondering can you just use the stock harness with only the console lights and just share those wires to power the homelink or should I just go get a harness appropriate for homelink?
from looking at my homelink roof console, it looks like it has the same plug on the body harness, and they just split power in the console side... should be plug and play with a non-homelink truck. (I think, haven't tried it yet)
You can rob the light bulbs out of an instrument cluster for back lights on the DIC
Do you know if the escalade bezel fit the Silverado dash
damn cuhh fresh ass cut
Thanks man!
My 02 denali has that unit....its very accurate! And very usefull
Great to hear!
Now could You put the Driver information center in the storage compartment overhead where Your dome lights are at?
If Canada was closer, I just picked up a loaded silvy 2004 electric 4x4 leather/heated/memory and 5.3 I only wanted the frame.
Add steering wheel controls also I added them to my 00 Silverado from an 02 Denali.
Do you have stock or aftermarket radio and how’d you run the green signal wire (I’m doing both rightnow controls and interior swap)
I know I'm late lol but when installing the instrument cluster with the transmission temperature gauge, is it plug and play? Or is there a wire you gotta connect to get transmission temperature?
plug and play. there is already a sensor in the transmission and its carried on the same data bus up to the cluster
The heated seat buttons how much for them? Driver and passenger
Nice hair cut LT
You can wire an aftermarket radio into the cd changer slot. I did a write up on this that I can send you.
Good 'ol Spray Nine!
works pretty good!
Does anyone know what exact wood grain this is? I’ve noticed there’s this one and a more orange wood drain
Thanks
