  1. Thanks! Nice V! I really wanted white as well, they are a bit hard to come by. I do like the black, but it's a pita. I do want to get a project truck, like an old C10 eventually if the wife will allow it.
  2. Thanks! still need to take it out for some better photos, but here are few just from messing around in the garage. The interior has carbon fiber accents and is a mix of leather and suede materials. It comfortably fits people in the back, and it's quite long so the trunk is a decent amount of space.
  3. Just saying goodbye to the truck family for now. I was on here for awhile but remained mostly quiet; but I received plenty of good information from this forum, also hope I helped some others. Saturday I traded in my '15 Denali and stayed in the GM family for now. The new daily is a gorgeous '18 Cadillac CTS-V. It's a bittersweet step and was odd to drive away from the truck a last time, it was my 4th GM truck and first vehicle I bought new. I loved my truck, and I took pride in ensuring I took good care of it, but I also was pretty disappointed with it's faults (as all vehicles have). I loved the power the 6.2l had, but the 8spd transmission/torque converter were garbage in the '15. I can't say I will miss the many noises, pops, clunks, rattles, and jerks my truck made, and I ended with only 31k miles on it. Maybe I will be on here again someday, but if someone here is in the DFW area, my truck is for sale at a dealer in Grapevine and has been well taken care of all it's life. All I can say now is the truck is in the rear view as the CTS-V drives away... fast... very fast.
  4. No worries it’s hard to capture the photo with little space. The photo is as if you were laying under the dash, under the steering wheel area, looking up into the dash from around where the pedals are. So if you kinda lay in that area looking up at the dash area (it’s a pain to fit in there) you should be able to find that hard drive looking thing. It’s got a wiring harness coming out the back, Tap it with your finger a few times and see if it makes a noise.
  5. Replying to this because I just recently solved a rattle that was driving me crazy. My rattling sound sounded like it was coming from the left part of the dash behind the headlight/4wd selector between that and the upper left tweeter cover, but this was just the way the sound bounced off things into my ear. It sounded like springing plastic (sorry weird comparison) but it actually came down to a module that looks like a hard drive behind that dash that is around the steering wheel column. You can can get to this without pulling off panels, but removing the under steering wheel panel helps; which is two screws and some pressure clips. When searching for the sound, I tapped on this module and it made a metal vibration sound, it didn’t sound like my rattle when sitting in the seat driving, but I believe it actually was, must have been the way it was muffled and traveled that changed the tone. This module has a wiring hardness coming out towards the front of the truck, it has a small heat sink on it. I resolved the sound by placing a piece a piece of rubber between the module and a metal bracket, it stopped the metal module bracket from being sprung. I attached a picture of the module circled in yellow and the fix I applied. This photo is looking up the dash from the floor. Hope this helps someone if they are searching for an annoying rattle while driving. Just one of the many this truck has.
  6. I have a '15 Denali, which I have had since new, it's the 6.2 with the 8sp, but other than that should be somewhat comparable. The 22s do ride harsh in comparison with many other vehicles, you can tell they are also quite heavy wheels when hitting bumps, but they look dang good. The transmissions software is not great, I don't think it will kill longevity, but be ready for some clunks. My truck has been in for numerous issues since owning: -A new torque converter -> it was vibrating in small specific speed intervals -Starter shield was hitting something on startup making loud buzzing -Slow coolant leak in heater connection -Transfer Case Control Module makes high pitch noise -Leaf springs making popping noise on slow bumps -Steering assist recall -Airbag update or something (don't remember) -GPS Antenna replacement - was getting a GPS error -Wheels are hard to balance - went in multiple times for balancing Overall, it's a nice truck, but I am still unhappy with the build quality and all the issues I have encountered. I still have things that bug me that the dealer likely won't fix/replicate to my liking, things like rattles and slow infotainment. As always, I will highly recommend looking for a 6.2, love the extra power.
  7. I seem to remember an old thread on here, I think it was that you have to manually start it every nth time (not sure what number n equals). As in, you can't remote app start it a bunch of times in a row without a few manual ignition cycles. Was some software limitation they implemented. This might be different, as I thought the key fob counted as a manual start, but something to consider.
  8. A little bit outside the Boston area itself, I had purchased my "new at the time" 2015 Denali at Swanson Buick and GMC in Acton. They are a tiny dealership, but haven't been in a few years as I moved out of state. I didn't do an order through them, as the truck was on the lot, but was overall satisfied with the dealership. Best of luck, Dustin
  9. I wouldn't think so, but never really know. If it works that's a plus, if not, try pulling/re-seating the fuse.
  10. Definitely keep it, prefer it over any other method at the moment.
  11. It's in the fuse box under the hood, I don't recall which one, but it should be listed on the fuse cover.
  12. I had this happen not too long after I purchased my truck. I removed the fuse for the trailer brake for a few seconds, haven't seen the message since.
