Grant steering wheel with air bag

[Balsam12]

I can't find any concrete info if this steering wheel can be put on my 98 silverado. I know I will have to loose air bag. Anyone done this or know what adapater kit will work? Need some help!!!

So can it be done with taking air bag out ?
I assume the air bag light will stay on ?

Yes it is totally possible! You will need to unplug the airbag light on the gauge cluster because it will stay on. I will say that it is kind of hard to remove the airbag, because it is being held by 2 clips inside the steering wheel. I don't know if you already have the steering wheel apart.

I did this same procedure to my truck, because I hated the looks of the airbag ("Next Gen Airbag" '98 steering wheel), switched it to a 88-94 steering wheel, found out the multifunction switch was blocked, so then I switched it to the 95-00 non-airbag steering wheel. I then did the Grant steering wheel, but sent it back, and put the non-airbag 95-00 steering wheel. I just can't seem to like aftermarket stuff, I love my stock things, but to each their own.

I hope this helps, happy swapping!

Okay, sorry for the late reply. Here is the part number and boy was I off: GNT 3196 INSTALL KIT

Got it from O'Reilly Auto Parts, costed my $24.99.

Will the turn signal be to close with an aftermarket grant wheel ?

That's the kit number 3196 I found aswell but everywhere I look it says not for use with air bag ?

I agree air bags are ugly but disabling them is not a wise move either. Too many distracted drivers causing head on crashes these days.

Not too much, just a tiny bit thought. Your hand will pass it when you turn, but for me, I was so annoyed with it. But overall, it will not hit. Everything will work.

It just means do not use that for a airbag'd steering wheel. Don't use it to extend the steering wheel closer to you if it is not close enough or it can cause them to be incorrect, or the airbag yellow line may not be long enough to clear. Stuff like that. I put a Buick LeSabre steering wheel on my truck because I liked how thin the steering wheel was and it was a '95 Buick w/ airbag. I used the extender for it, but I never hooked up the airbag because I had removed the clock spring when I bought the truck to put a 88-94 steering wheel in it, but the multifunction switch didn't clear. Even though I love that steering wheel, just can't get it to work with the multifunction switch.
