08 Denali Steering Wheel Swap I have an 08 Denali with an LS3 and the 6 speed auto and was wondering if the Corvette steering wheel with paddle shifter would fit in there.
I haven't had a chance to inspect the Corvette steering wheel in person but from pictures it looks like the shifters are wheel mounted and not column mounted so I shouldn't have to replace anything else.
My main question though is would I be able to wire the paddle shifters along with all the other functions to the existing electronics? (Volume control, cruise control, etc..)

You would have to most likley tune the ECM and TCM as well and add wires.
Did you swap in the LS3 and way the L92 as VVT and makes better lowend for the heavy *** truck.

It should have the manual shift function on the column shifter already anyway and is basically the same as the paddles. I don't think the paddle shift will physically fit/work with the column shifter.
