Description
This exclusive offering from WAMS enables a factory-correct retrofit of a brand-new, fully programmed 12.3-inch Full LCD Instrument Cluster (with full warranty) into your compatible T1 Pickup.
This upgrade kit fits lower trim versions of:
• 2022.5+ Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500
• 2024+ Silverado 2500/3500 and Sierra 2500/3500
Before placing your order, please read the entire description and FAQ section carefully.
Key Features and Customization:
• Tailored Programming: Each cluster is custom-programmed to match your vehicle’s specifications and options. It can also accommodate modifications like a HUD hardware retrofit (to be released early 2025).
• Navigation Ready: Clusters are pre-configured for navigation functionality. Even if your vehicle lacks navigation at the time of installation, this setup allows for easy activation should a navigation upgrade become available at a later date.
• Enhanced Functionality: When combined with the proper steering wheel and wiring harness outlined in the FAQ below, this upgrade also adds steering wheel audio and phone controls, ensuring a fully integrated experience.
Installation and Final Programming:
While your cluster arrives fully programmed, a final marriage procedure is required. This quick process (under 5 minutes) must be performed by a GM dealership or a shop with GM Techline Connect access. Step-by-step written instructions are included in the package to guide the dealership through this straightforward procedure which is necessary due to the enhanced security features in these vehicles.
Compatibility:
This upgrade is specifically designed for lower trim models like the Sierra Pro, Silverado W/T, and Silverado Custom. These models have the updated (refresh) electrical architecture but retain the previous-generation interior design and look.
Note: Vehicles with IOR radios which is what these trucks are built with cannot display navigation, media, or phone menus on the cluster. However, when retrofitted correctly, factory steering wheel controls will work as expected.
Important Information:
• Compatible Models: 2022.5+ Silverado/Sierra 1500 and 2024+ Silverado/Sierra 2500/3500.
• Incompatible Models: This product will not work on 2019-2022.1 Silverado/Sierra 1500 or 2020-2023 Silverado/Sierra 2500/3500.
• Special Order: Units are special order and may have variable lead times.
PLEASE NOTE: This product is NOT compatible with non-refresh models. Ordering for an unsupported vehicle despite numerous warnings here will incur restocking fees.

FAQ:
Q: How does this work?
A: You place an order for a cluster using the menus above based on your trim preference. Most people will get the normal Chevrolet/GMC offering with the silver bezel. If you have a Sierra you may opt for the “Denali” Style selection which also has a glossy piano black bezel and light up “GMC” logo. Upon delivery you will need to follow the included instructions for final setup.
Q: How do I determine if I have a Refresh truck?
A: This product is specifically for the 2022.5+ T1 Refresh Trucks. If you have a 2022.5 1500 you can verify if you have the refresh by simply checking your RPO’s for “J22” or if the last 8 of your vin starts with “NG5” or “NZ5” or higher for example “NG6” or “NZ6” etc. you have a refresh truck. There are some lower trim level 2022.5+ Trucks that appear to have the previous generation interior/electronics this is not the case as everything electrical subsystem wise has been refreshed. This is the intended target for this product. This also will work on ALL 2023+ 1500 or 2024+ 2500/3500 trucks.
Q: Do I need steering wheel controls to use this cluster?
A: Yes you need factory (or properly retrofit) steering wheel controls to interact with the menus on these units. Adding this cluster along with the proper steering wheel controls and harness from HarnessDR.com found HERE adds full audio steering wheel controls as well as cluster controls to boot for IOR equipped trucks! Please make sure you have a dealer confirm your steering wheel selection using the parts catalog.
Q: I installed a steering wheel and this Cluster and everything works except my Cruise Control doesn’t work?
A: You have a Global A steering wheel; we’ve seen this numerous times. You can confirm this by removing the left hand switch pack and look for the writing “Global A” on it. You need a Global B wheel which a dealer can find for you using the parts catalog.
Q: Do I need to change any trim for this cluster to fit?
A: No you do not. There may be SLIGHT gaps at the corners between the cluster bezel and the Cluster Hood that goes around it however once installed without the ability of light to go through them they should be basically invisible. You can also trim the cluster hood stops to bring it in even closer if you wish. The cluster hood is a relatively cheap part ($20 or so) so consider grabbing a spare and modifying that one. There also two super small gaps at the bottom corners that dont look out of place at all. This was the best solution/compromise we could come up with and still keep the pricing in line with our other offerings even though the labor on our end is significantly higher.
Q: Can you do this for Export (Metric clusters)?
A: Yes. Being Digital that is all programming.
Q: Ok can you make the 12.3″ all digital unit work in the 2019-2022.1 1500’s or 2020-2023 2500/3500 trucks?
A: No. Those utilize an entirely different electrical architecture. Please dont email asking this the answer isn’t going to change.
Q: Will this work for my SUV?
A: No, this is for Pickups only there is a different offering in the shop for applicable SUV’s.
Q: Will I lose any features?
A: No you should not lose any features that you had before however due to changes in operation certain functions may operate differently and we’ve tried to detail any of those here in these FAQ’s.
Q: Will I gain any features?
A: You may gain some features as the 12.3″ clusters have slightly different menus. If you have added FACTORY options that your truck didn’t have please put what you have added in the notes section.
Q: What is the HUD Retrofit Option?
A: This enables the unit to drive a heads up display. Yes it can be installed no we do not provide support for that end of it but you should reach out to HarnessDr.com for wiring harness info to make that switch. If you have forward collision alert and are not 110% set on doing the HUD upgrade we recommend you do NOT choose this option as it will disable the LED Forward Collision Alert indicator. The HUD Retrofit option will be available following launch; DO NOT ORDER THIS NOW IF YOU WANT TO DO A HUD RETROFIT. We would like to get the “vanilla” orders out of the way first so if you want HUD retrofit support please wait until that option is showing under this item.
Q. Why don’t you ask for my Mileage? What happens to my odometer?
A. Your odometer will sync to your vehicle during the marriage procedure at the correct current milage.
Q: What about my engine hours?
A: These will be carried over during marriage as well.
Q: My MPG/Range at install is WAY off is that normal?
A: Completely Normal! The new cluster has no baseline yet. You should start to see it normalize (or be close to completely normal) after one full tank of fuel has been consumed and the vehicle filled up. The remote app may take longer to normalize as it uses a “lifetime” MPG reading.
Q: Do I need to send in my factory cluster?
A. Nope! We are sending you a factory fresh unit; keep your original unit.

Works flawlessly. It makes the truck so much more fun to drive. This is the 2nd WAMS product I have used and have to say totally satisfied!

Was waiting patiently for WAMS to come out with a cluster upgrade for the refresh trucks, and it has paid off. This cluster is amazing in my regular cab W/T trim level .Even better than expected. Installation was easy.The dealer wanted to charge $200 for the setup, which is not terrible, but I did the setup myself instead with the GM MDI 2 tool through Techline Connect, and some tech support from the WAMS crew, (whom will walk you through any snag you come across,with an immediate response to your questions) this setup was smooth and painless.Many thanks to the WAMS Gang and their 1st class expertise.highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Order arrived quickly and well packaged. The dealer had some trouble installing but WAMS responded quickly, even on a Saturday. Once installed it looks amazing, works well, and makes the truck feel a lot more modern. Extremely happy to get media controls for the radio as well.

Thank you WAMS!! This is truly amazing, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Installation was a breeze and took me only about an hour to swap out the steering wheel and cluster. I had my local dealership do the final install steps (No issues at all here, went very smooth) and they only charged me $150… so I can’t complain. The only issue I am running into right now is my own fault, I purchased the wrong steering wheel so only the right-side cluster and audio controls are working but the correct wheel is coming so soon and I will have all functionality as soon as that is installed. Again, thank you for all your support and the customer service team couldn’t have been any better!

Thank you to WAMS for offering such a great product. The new digital cluster and features look and function great. It’s nice to have radio/phone controls in my truck. I had a bit of an issue with the steering wheel configuration that the dealership was useless helping me. WAMS tech support answered every email promptly and we worked together to solve the problem. As happy as I am with the product, I’m 10 times happier with the customer service provided by WAMS! Do not hesitate to buy any product with confidence from WAMS

Thank you to WAMs for this product. Got it installed in my 2024 Silverado 1500 W/T along with new leather wrapped steering wheel with radio controls. I purchased a VNCI MDI2 device, downloaded and purchased a vin on TLC and performed the necessary steps myself, not for the faint of heart! It’s like an entirely different truck now! 5 stars to WAM
MARK TAGGART (verified owner) –
Thank you so much WAMS! This was EXACTLY what I needed. I needed to upgrade my steering wheel to have radio control and needed to upgrade the cluster along with it for the upgrade to work in my 2023 Silverado. This worked perfectly!

Loved the cluster in my 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 custom trail boss! Made this truck fun to drive, I had to buy another one due to first dealership who didn’t fellow instructors. Second cluster but I went to a different dealership when I got there I made sure I talk to the technician myself and ask him if he understand it. And man this cluster looks so clean.

Huge Thank You to WAMs for this product, it was also packaged it with care and delivered pretty quick.
I installed it in my 2024 Silverado 1500 Custom TrailBoss along with a new leather wrapped steering wheel with radio controls and the Harness Dr. wire to activate the steering wheel radio controls.
The install was pretty simple, just take your time and double check everything. I then took it to my dealership and spoke with my regular Service Advisor, explained what had to be done per the detailed instructions that were provided, he even brought the tech over to ensure there were no questions, they synced it up to the trucks Global B technology to my new cluster, and it all went flawlessly.
It’s like I have an entirely different truck now! 5 stars to WAMs!!
