Based off of the wiring diagrams for it all you need to do is swap the cluster and replace the plug. Programming could be kinda finicky to get it nailed down so you do not have odd ball warnings for this and that. But I haven't ever got to actually pull one of these clusters and compare them side by side.

Electrically the truck talks to the escalade cluster the same way it does the standard clusters but the esky uses a different plug.
Post a pic of it. I don't know if I like the denali, z71 cluster or the escalade cluster better. Escalade cluster would be an easy choice if it had oil pressure and volt meter.

Where did you find that 140 speedo face, and how much was it (if you don't mind)? Sounds cool.

Hey 1slow .....just put a dual pillar pod that's my plan, for volts and oil, I am glad and not surprised that I'm not the only one interested in this.

You put in the gauge face only? How did you recalibrate for the smaller speed increments? Sounds sweet, I'd like to do that too.

I hate pilar pods, they attract too much attention. I'll do an overhead setup but that will have wideband, boost, oil temp and a aeroforce gauge. I'd just rather have them in the cluster.

I reflashed it for the tahoe. But then I flashed it to my stock calibrations and it was dead nuts on both ways using my tech 2 to to verify everything was correct and by the garmin on the windshield. I dunno go figure sometimes gm changes stuff for a reason othertimes they change **** just to make you think it's different but it's the same I think this was one of those cases. I had a rough day I just got in def get pics up tomorrow for yall.

Yeah the truck is too new to bastardize it too far by playing with replacing clusters to much PITA.

I've got the overhead setup with boost and fuel pressure, and wideband in the dash. Between that and absolutely zero visual mods to the truck, an aggressive senior citizen driver is more likely to get pulled over than my brick. Camouflage..
