Lucky dog and they are inexpensive too! That's about the same price as a regular wheel assembly! I've been wanting to upgrade just because but too many other things in front of that expense.
Here's what I came up with for the extra parts needed to retrofit:
Harness 25807858/60296271, SIR Coil 25966964
Let me know if you think these are right or wrong.
Oh, GM Parts Center has been great! Nearly always the lowest price and all orders executed flawlessly! Just got my third finish panel from them yesterday!
Thank you James ...ive been searching for the extra part #’s...... half heartedly but searching nonetheless.....
thanks bud

What's a finish panel James?

On the side of each seat is a plastic panel that covers the internal workings to allow it to recline and fold. The passenger side inner one has been replaced 3 times in two years! People keep stepping on it, kicking it or slouching off the seat and breaking it with their behinds. First was broke when I bought the truck, my oldest daughter broke two of them and then some drunks broke the third. Their are two retainers and a long threaded pin that do most of the holding power. The long threaded pin doesn't grab anything anymore, so it was sticking out a little bit. We can take the seat out and apart but I think some RTV and a bungee will suit these sore muscles and bones better today.

Gotcha. Thx for the clarification James.On the side of each seat is a plastic panel that covers the internal workings to allow it to recline and fold.

Wheel was delivered today! Probably install it this evening or tomorrow.
I don't have a steering wheel puller specifically but I do have a threaded universal type pulley/wheel puller. Anyone know if this will work?

I haven't done mine yet, but after you have disconnected the battery and take off the airbag, the service manual says
Procedure
1. Disconnect any electrical connectors as needed.
2. Loosen the steering wheel nut until two to three threads are left
engaged.
3. Wiggle the steering wheel until the steering wheel disengages
completely.
4. Remove the steering wheel nut.
5. Remove the steering wheel.
when putting it back on the torque spec is 30lbs
***it also states not to bang on the center column with a hammer as it can loosen the sleeves that keep the column rigid.

Steering wheel puller ^^^^
Used palms to alternate banging on left/right side of the wheel from behind to loosen. I borrowed the wrong puller from AutoZone and found a video on YouTube.
around the 2 minute mark

Also, you can put the nut on a few threads and give it a rap or 2 with a rubber mallet, it will be fine.
It will come off with that puller though.

Thanks guys, got it on. I was going to use the puller at first, but I didn't have any oval headed bolts to use and I didn't feel like grinding some down on the bench grinder. So I did like Doubeleive posted, leaving the nut on loose, and pulling side to side. Torqued new one down to 30ft lbs

I've read that we really don't need a puller like the old days with these. Yep, just read the instructions Wes put up, that's what I remember.
