Actually that's who had my order so I know they don't have one. I Found one North of me in Lubbock. $659 shipped to me via Fedex truck. I decided to call my local dealership again since they had told me some weeks back that had 1 or 2 of them. They still have 2 of them and the Parts Counter rep was willing to price match with the Lubbock Dealer which is GM Parts Outlet. So I am driving down this afternoon to pick one up for $441. Already canx my order with GMParts Now.
Awesome, and a great price since there's no shipping.

Good luck, once they start.....
Yep. I fixed the cracks in one with a hot stapler. Hours and hours of work pulling the dash, welding the cracks together, installing the dash. Lasted about a week and 2 new cracks appeared next to the other ones.

I’m in the process of swapping them out. Everything lines up just like the old one. My old one (remember, it was from a 2008 Tahoe donor truck) has a label with p/n 15915972 and if I look it up it’s been replaced by 19331336. So I would say definitively the 19331336 and 23224747 are interchangeable. @George B i just had to remove the (4) 15 mm bolts that hold the column and let it hang down a bit.

Weird thing I noticed was the area around the driver side crack at the instrument cluster hump, on the back side, is all discolored right around the crack. Not sure if this happened because of the crack or is the cause of the crack. It has only been cracked a few weeks though. Ok enough crack talk. It’s hot outside now so I’ll finish this tomorrow morning.

Well, I used some acrylic cement on that crack. It caused the softer layer of the texture to lift like paint stripper would do to paint. It also bit really hard into the plastic base of the dash. I can see the crack still but it appears to be “melted” together.
l am still realistic about this and expect to be replacing the dash at some point. I will grab a pic later.
