STeering wheel upgrade

Garfield · January 29, 2020

Hello,

can someone tell me if it’s possible to replace my current steering wheel (2011 GMC Sierra 1500) with a 2019 or 2020 steering wheel?

And some ideas to add more hp?

Thank y’all for your help

I will be attempting this soon..

I will keep you posted. But i have a 2500hd.. things I know for me thus far:

Have to change the clock spring, will have to find power for the heated wheel switch. Things i don't know: will the newer clock spring plug in to my harness under the dash, will the controls work as my old controls do., first I am going to plug in the new wheel and see how the controls react with out changing the clock spring.

Today 8-Feb-2020 I managed to pull my existing wheel and checked to see if the 2016 wheel would fit... and it does.

As of right now the plug that connects to the clock spring is different , pulled wiring diagrams and pin out is also different.

while looking at the wiring it looks promising. one thing I am wondering is there is a 12-Volt Reference

on the 13 style it is (E) pk/bk wire and the 16 style (5) white. I am wondering what it is for, Any one know why? I am wondering if it is ignition on wire but I have not tested this yet. Had the wonderful opportunity of changing my fuel filling line because some decided to cut it so they could steal the fuel out of my just filled up tank. I am going run some jumper wires and test a few things out tomorrow hopefully.
