Engine Swap to stroked 6.0 (408) and general vehicle refurbishment

[Chooko]

Alright, here is a new topic for this thread. My wife wants a heated steering wheel in the Tahoe. I have been reading all day on this and other forums, looking at Ebay, and various parts suppliers. I understand that I will need the clock spring and harness, and I think I have found those parts new. I am confused about the wheel though. I have found a wheel, part number 22947767. This looks like its for a 2014 model. I have also read that something in the design of the airbag changed in 2013. So, will a 2014 wheel work with a 2010 Tahoe and airbag? If so, what color are the lights on the buttons for 22947767? I'm sure that this has been covered somewhere, but I can't seem to find it.

I looked into this briefly for my 08 and I was going to buy everything from a 2012. I haven’t pulled the trigger yet because I was‘t 100% on the wiring. I chose a 2012 because my dads avalanche has it and it appears everything is the same as mine (light colors). Rock auto had the wheel but appears to be out of stock now

Do you have the part number for the 2012 wheel handy?

I believe it’s 22947767

Adding the heated wheel from 2012 LTZ

Can this be done to an '11 or earlier model? What parts are needed?

www.chevyavalanchefanclub.com

on the second page of this thread they show the part number change to the one we both listed (22947767)

Basked on what I read before, somewhere around 2010 (maybe even 2009) they have the provision for the wheel and you just buy the harness and plug it in. For the earlier 07-08 you have to get a power source from under the dash. I wasn’t comfortable with that at the moment so I just gave up lol. Seems simple enough either way, I just lost motivation. Keep me posted on what you find out

That part number seems to be for a '14 model year. I'm just not sure if it will work with the pre '13 airbag, because I read that they changed the airbag in '13.

Following.. been considering this swap myself in my Envoy. A 408 would be so cool!

I can't confirm either way. That's the part number that was listed on rockauto for the 2012 when I looked previously.

Oo stroked 6.0

I went from a 5.3 to a 6.0, just from the tune i have been running during the engine break-in, the difference between the 6.0 vs the 5.3 is pretty noticeable.
I wanted more low end mostly, and i got it.

i haven't done much with WOT yet, but the tune still needs work.

With my build, i also went with a new circle d converter.
I think at some point i tossed some trash through the cooler lines (or trash was already there) and it ended up taking out my thrust bearing twice.


That's where i sit now, get an oil filter cutting tool too.
I ran the extra capacity filter + i cut the filter open after ever 200 miles of engine break-in.
that saved my ass from losing a shit load of money.

Hey, haven't seen you in a minute! Welcome to the thread...

I know nothing about an airbag change. The current wheel in my 2009 Yukon XL is from a 2012 Suburban, no fitment issues.

Was the harness plug and play?

I think I read that you are supposed to flush the transmission lines and the cooler before installing the new transmission. Sounds like that is what you are recommending here also? What did you find in filter and how did you use that information to prevent disaster? I've been wondering about this since I started this process, and although I'm a few months out from having the engine installed, I'm trying to learn all that I can right now. So your input is greatly appreciated!

Huh, man, this is confusing. I'll update on here anything I find out, and also I'm sure I'll be posting about it here when I finally get the wheel and parts, and do the install.

Very interesting. By-the-by, what resource are you using to find all of these part numbers?

 

[Chooko]

I thought it'd be smart to replace the rear axle bearings and seals while I have everything apart to change out the gears and install the Truetrack. What was stupid, however, was thinking that I was ordering enough to do the whole car (2 sets) when in fact I only ordered 1. The second set is now on the way from Summit.

 

[swathdiver]

Lots of googling and pouring over parts lists. There were a couple of Avalanche forum, GM-Trucks and here that had the same numbers. I also used my Mitchell Crash Book before it was misplaced. Those numbers are several years old now, I would use OEM Cats and GMPartsDirect to see if new numbers are available.

Being in Florida, it's not really needed but may do it when I someday put in a locking Escalade column with electric tilt.

There's no programming necessary if that's what you are asking.

 

[pwtr02ss]

No, just asking if the pigtail was there and it was as simple as plugging it in. 07-08 trucks seem to not have that and you have to get your own power source from the junction block (aka, run your own wire so the gm harness you purchased isn't needed)

I can't remember which part you are referring to. I didn't do it, just researched it a bunch of years ago. There were lots of pictures if memory serves. I do remember fellas saying that the wire harness was nice but not necessary, some made their own connector, some just used butt connectors. My memory stinks again.

Steering wheel question

Is there a heated steering wheel without the wood grain trim ring? Just a regular leather wrapped wheel. Just bought a 2014 Denali and I'm not too fond of the feel of the wood ring.

2007-13 Cashmere Heated Steering Wheel

New Cashmere leather, titanium spokes, cruise and radio/phone buttons, heated steering wheel. I bought this for my 2011 Silverado. It was not as dark a shade of leather as I had hoped for. So if you have a cashmere interior, this is the wheel. I thought I would like it with my ebony interior, but...

Thank you sir. You had the harness listed in the part numbers so I assumed you got it. No worries. I was just trying to confirm what years had the provision and which didn't, for @Chooko . I'm thinking his 2010 will have it and he can just plug the harness in and rock and roll. Obviously, he could just run a wire to a power source and save the $80 for the harness.

Thanks again for sharing all of this
