Denali/Escalade Leather Shifter Installed

Nice. I do want a newer tahoe with the 6 speed shiftable tranny.

I prefer the Esky shifter, it is leather and has stitching down the center, a little nicer design.

Denali shifter is the exact same as the Escalade shifter.

Mine is leather and has the stitching down the BACK center. As I said in the first post

the 07-08 shifter had the stitching facing you, but the 09-11 had the stitching facing away

To me, facing away looks MUCH cleaner.

Looks nice. I like the idea of using the up/down buttons for something else, maybe for an amp

Nice. Maybe I'll do the same and try to find a way to make the + and - do something. Maybe they can be turned into buttons for a trailer brake controller, or a winch remote if anybody were to install that on a NNBS.

Btw, the 5.3s do come with the shifter with the beyond on 09+. I believe it's an option. I had a rental 10 Tahoe 2 years ago and it did have that.

When I was going to do it, I was going to make the +/- buttons control the volume for my Pioneer HU, or be a toggle for my reverse light HIDs.
Then I realized I would turn them on accidentally too much.

Oh i thought they were different, my bad, i got mine installed this weekend, didnt realize that the connector was different, so i cut the connector off the old shifter and wired it to the new shifter, wow what the difference in look on my suburban, love the new look.

Mine was the same connecter, just 2 extra wires for the + and - . I just cut those off the plug and left them there for future use.

There's a shifter for the "cashmere" interior like I have, and then there's a shifter for the "black" or whatever color the Denali/Escalade comes in.

Yeah my '11 Tahoe LTZ is loaded i think with every option available and it has that same shifter. The +/- are nice for towing or winter driving.

That looks sweet man, nice work.
