Default steering wheel swap

Does anyone think it would be possible for me to replace my 2000 steering wheel with one from an 03 silverado?

I hate the 2000's design.

any help would be great, i did post this in the silverado area but no one has replyed, and i know there are alot of people full of information in this area.

-thanks

The problem will be with the airbag, the two use different SIR systems so the short answer is no it is not an easy swap at all.

Alright, thanks ZX.

Last night i was reading something about the SIR and replacing the airbag. so is it the sensor or what that wouldnt make my truck reconize the new airbag?

Do you think a delership could do it for me?

A bag out of an 03 Tahoe cannot even be mated or matched to your Tahoe, the SIR module will detect that the airbag is incompatible disable the system and illuminate a Service SIR light.

A dealer cannot touch this modification with a ten foot pole, they will not even humor your request, it would be easier to talk a dealer into removing your catalytic converter and that isn’t happening either.
