put 241,000 on a gmc yukon with quadrasteer and no problems untill some fuck decided that the rear tie rods had to be replaced now every time i get in the lights on and the steering wheel is crooked. but i love it wish the idiots at gm could get their heads out of their ass and market it better.
Not a big deal, we have done a bunch of Duramax Qudrasteer's and if you change the tie rods you have to go back to the dealer, give them your VIN and request a "re-learn". It requires TechII and 15 min. I've done it too, should have left it alone. In the end they weren't bad for me anyway and I had to eat the whole thing, part of the learning curve.
Yea the 1500 systems really sucked and unfortunately gave the 2500 systems a bad rep, to bad too because they were about indestructible.
You will need all the wiring under the dash too. just divorce it from the suv wire harness and take what you need.

ok duraburb guy. gotta issue...well kinda. on my brothers 2006 were trying to add factory power adjustable gas and brake pedals. i would think some of the suburbans yall have done would come with the factory pedals and was wondering what you have to do to make them work, i went and got a pedal assembly and the wiring out of a tahoe today divorced the wiring and its a completely seperate harness than the truck. also got the harness for a door that had the three extra wires for the switch. ive got all of this in the truck but when you start the truck it says reduced engine power the gas pedal doesnt work and it idles at like a 1k rpms but when you hit the brake it idles down to normal. what the hell have i got my self into here. lol. any suggestions? thanx.

So, are you swapping the quadrasteer components onto a Duramax truck or swapping the Duramax into the quadrasteer truck?

You're an idiot, ONCE AGAIN. Quadrasteer had no problems (I mean, no major problems, like LB7-injector type problems). I dont give a shit if you "work at a dealer", you're still a friggin dumbass and you always will be in my book for making that stupid comment back in the "can tuners be detected" thread.
You've lost all credibility and no one in this thread should listen to you.
Ill say it again. Quadrasteer was a very reliable system. There were NEVER any accidents related to it "messing up", and there have never been any major failures. Anyone who says otherwise is an ignorant fool who is ASSuming things (because, OMG its 4 wheel steering, SO complicated, that PROBABLY MUST have a lot of problems, holy shit) or heard from "a brothers uncles best friends mailmain that his brothers uncles best friends mailman had a Q-steer truck and the computer 'messed-up' and swerved the truck into oncoming traffic and killed a bus full of 500 school children on their way to church"
Quadrasteer is badass. It wasnt common because GM initially priced it too high, and didnt market it correctly. People were turned off by the price, and lost interest. Not to mention all the fallacies about it being "JUNK". By the time GM lowered the price, everyone had forgotten about it. It really is sad, because it was an awesome system that made our trucks turn sharper than compact cars.

ok ben you can think im an idiot all you want. i have started seeing a few problems with them lately and it is hard to get parts for them so they are just telling us to disable the system so that it doesnt function, i have seen it first hand but im sure you will shoot that down too and insult my intelligence some other way. i know im an idiot because i made a mistake in another thread, thats fine. i owned it, you were right (as usual) and i was very wrong. so if im an idiot for having my own opinion then so be it. its getting to be pretty obvious the only reason you ever get on here is to cut people down when they are wrong. its fine if you want to correct someone about being wrong but then you just pile it on with name calling and insults. i probably did hurt my credibilitly on here for saying what i did in that other thread but i know i was wrong and ill try not to let it happen again so you dont feel the need to belittle me and make it known how smart you are.
the quadrasteer system is nice when it works properly and the turning radius is awesome.
edit: i just went over the thread again and im not the only one who said it wasnt that great but i was the only one you quoted and called an idiot, weird.
Mmmmm
O.K.
Moving on, ........Chambers you will need the steering wheel for the position sensor or maybe you can swap it onto your wheel, the Qsteere dose communicate with the class II buss and is tied into the BCM but I'm not sure why or what its looking for. As for your gas pedal on the Duramax SUV just use one from a NBS with power pedals.
