Well the Supercharger and AP Racing/Baer Brakes are in my plans, but not for at least another year or so. Let everything settle in. Still have to finish installing all the stuff I already have on hand.

Maybe I should leave my truck over at your house.....a Supercharger is all I want for Christmas Mr.Santa!

Looks pretty good Bill.

You mean like this Denali.

Here is an update to my previous post. When dealing with the shake/vibration issue, they must go through the list prescribed to them by GM. If there are aftermarket drivetrain components on the vehicle they must rule them out before proceeding through the list. The body mount fix was a last ditch effort by them just to see what would happen, and I have been told it worked on more than one occasion. The pico meter measurements taken after the fix were actually better than the measurements on a vehicle that never had the issue in the first place. With that being said, they have to go through the process eventually reducing vibration/shake to a level that is not noticeable. So it seems to me there is not a "magic" one item fix, but maybe a combination of fixes.

Okay, so I am at my local GMC dealership for service (oil change). I ask the customer service rep if they have had any Sierra's come in with shake/vibration issues. The answer was yes, and I asked if they fixed the issue. I have to add that these guys know me, and they know not to BS me. I was told they fixed the issue by loosening the body mounts, drove down a few rough roads, and re-torqued. Supposedly that fixed it. I was also told that the pico meter was giving them the run around and they had tried pretty much everything else. So what do you think?

Yep yep!

Installed rear Stoptech Drilled Rotors, Hawk Performance HPS pads, Color matched calipers, and spring (yeah I know its almost summer) cleaning underneath (wash/paint). Tomorrow finish the fronts.

Welcome fellow Kansan!

yeah this would probably be a better one.

Very nice.....always liked dark green when not black.

Painted the factory grill. It took me a while doing it myself, Had a T-Rex grill on while I was messing with this (Trex for sale by the way). Actually was using the Duplicolor Shadow (Black Chrome kit). Had it perfect, left it to dry overnight, Had a June bug stuck to it in the morning. Had to clean it up a bit and apply one more coat, so now its more of a metallic black than black chrome. But I coated it thick with 8 coats of clearcoat. Did the emblems and center caps at the same time. Thanks for asking.

Finally found some time to get mostly done with the blackout. Still have powder coated black rotors, hellwig front and rear swaybars, center cap installation that match the black chrome emblems, some interior carbon fiber panels to match the mirror covers and running boards, and custom subwoofer/amp-rack enclosure. Will take better pictures when complete with the final touches and I get to detailing. Sincerely, Vader

They are stock denali headlights, cracked open, Blacked out with Morimoto Halos and HID kit.

Finished "Murdering" this Denali a few weeks back, just now got around to posting a couple pix. Last thing done was Morimoto HID kit and Morimoto White Halos.

Finished "Murdering" this Denali a few weeks ago before a trip to DC, just now got around to snapping a couple of photos to share. Carbon mirror covers and running boards. Triple Black.

Don't worry too much about it Keakar, liberals are afraid of guns......chances are they'll miss!

What shock setup are you running?

Agreed and Concur and disagree all at the same time.....

Yep, we can play this game all day. You evidently reacted to my statement but I don't believe you read it. And yet again you are trying to tell people that no matter what proof there is out there, your opinion is the most important/correct. Propaganda: defined as ideas, facts, or allegations spread deliberately to further one's cause or to damage an opposing cause; I am not the one spreading propaganda sir! I merely made a statement that regardless of which side your on its just an upgrade. "I'm not saying that scientifically there's no advantage. But we're also not driving our trucks 200+ MPH in a giant circle 500 times." Is that like a double negative. Meaning the science behind this only is relevant to trucks that do 200+ MPH in a giant circle 500 times? So they get the advantage and nobody else possibly could?.......That's like me saying the link to the article you added actually doesn't apply here in the United States because its from Canada. Only Canadians don't get an advantage....lol... .....regardless that has nothing to do with any of this...the example was to bring your attention to the fact our trucks are extremely sensitive to many things, tire pressure fluctuating drastically can and will have an effect on your driving. As I stated...driving to the corner market it makes no difference, but commuting back and forth to work 50 miles a day will change the way the truck handles.....period! If you can't feel the difference in a 4psi change in tire pressure after 25 miles, your argument is null. Let me make myself perfectly clear. I am middle of the road on this. I have two sets without and one set with (Don't ask me why, lets just say its scientific). There is a difference in how fast heat in the tires will change the pressure, and how fast your driving experience will change for the good or the bad depending on the start pressure and the mean pressure. My truck loves 34 psi....so staying as close to that on a general purpose trip of 25 to 35 miles (say within 2psi) I feel no change. Nitrogen does that for me. In using plain old dry air this same trip usually gives me a 4 psi change with a noticeable change in driveability. Like I stated, these trucks are sensitive and you can definitely feel changes. Checking your air pressure monthly is a good practice, but I can also tell you I don't do it anymore in the nitrogen set. I have noticed in the last 6 months almost zero change in my nitrogen set, winter is where the real test of pressure takes hold. Tire wear is irrelevant...to me. And if you want to go the wager route, I will definitely make the bet you will be replacing your OEM tires before me.....that sir is a guarantee!

Whether you believe/use or disbelieve/don't use nitrogen in your tires that is completely up to you. But don't sit there and tell people in your own scientific belief that it's a waste of money. There are purposes that nitrogen is used in tires. It's an upgrade just like an upgrade in anything else you might want to add to your truck. By reducing the percentage of oxygen, water vapor and other gases in your tires from 22% to 7% or lower, your tires will maintain proper pressure longer than if you use plain old air. For example, with 95% nitrogen in your tires, they retain optimal pressure three to four times longer. (Scientific) More Predictable Pressure Fluctuation. NASCAR teams use nitrogen so they can more accurately predict tire pressure fluctuation. Regular compressed air can fluctuate considerably when water vapor is present. TPMS Sensors have improved performance when nitrogen is used. The temp fluctuations are minimized. The bottom line point I am trying to make is the fact that it has it's benefits and of course cost....and so does every other upgrade. ...and oh by the way....if you have "nitrogen" in your tires and they have a noticeable fluctuation from driving to the corner market and back....guess what...you don't have the correct amount of nitrogen in your tires.....the process of eliminating/replacing oxygen did not work correctly.......unless you drove there like driving at Bristol Motor Speedway, then by all means there should be a fluctuation.

Guess I am gonna answer my own question here. Talked to an S&B rep today, and they are now shooting for end of October for the release of the 5069 CAI.

Does anyone know when the S&B CAI (#75-5069) for our 6.2's will be released?

Thanks, but ryandemo84 has hooked me up!

Any diodes remaining out there?
