    Buy a set from GM, only around $100.00 and the quality is very good. I have a set (one) on my 18 and it does not even have a chip in it. Removal will require cutting the drivers side bolt, passenger side is pretty strait forward. If you buy a set from GM, they come with all new hardware.

    You are very welcome. Have an open mind on the site, you will find the advice you are looking for. Welcome!

    Welcome to the site. That is an odd question, did you buy the truck new or used, and was it not listed either on the 4 square (Maroney sticker) or on the information provided by the dealership for a used truck? If I am buying a late model truck, I like to know what I have just purchased.
  4. JimCost2014
    Ask your dealer if it is something they may have installed, and charged you for it.

    Bottom right hand corner of tail gate if you are standing behind truck, just like the LT's. I would pop out one of your tail lights and look at the plug, to see if it matches the new bed. You will have to remove them at some point to transplant them to the new bed. If the new bed already has tail lights, the LTZ's look very different inside of the housing, same shape otherwise.

    Good call on your choice, the "full polished" is too much. I like the black bezel with the handle being chrome or billet, gives it some contrast.
  7. JimCost2014
    Looks good. I have the chrome factory version (along with the center console handle), where did you find a billet one? What is the finish like on the billet handle itself?
  8. JimCost2014
    Only way you would have a problem is if you had an LTZ bed, it would be set up for LED tail lights (loom would be different for the LED's), otherwise no change through the years you are working with. You are very welcome for the reply, good luck with your project!

    Wonder if there is someone in Japan right now complaining about the build quality of his Accord that was built in Ohio? Riding Donkeys to work actually might be a good marketing plan, they do get great mileage with pretty low emissions….

    Just kind of catching the end of this "debate", so I will ask a serious question: What would I, or someone else be looking for as far as the differences in the trucks? Having worked at a dealership, I never really noticed a huge difference between the trucks built in different places.

    If it is the same model (crew cab short bed as an example), you will have no problems. the updates to the 16-19 (LD), were the nose and improvements on the electronics.

    My 2008 was built in Canada, my 14, 16, and 18 were built in Mexico, and our 16 Tahoe was built in the USA. They all have their good qualities, and little things that should be better for the price of the trucks. But compared to some of the Honda's and Toyota's we have had in the past, I would say overall they are built better, the reliability is what needs to catch up with the others IMO.

    Well put sir, well put. Think this kind of sums up where we are at right now.....

    Awesome, always a nice peace of mind when the truck is running normally. I always forget how much information, and just plain cool the Denali dash is compared to the others. Guess I should know, have the same dash in our 16 Tahoe with the HUD package, just never drive it.

    They do have a trade in allowance option, that is how my 14 went back and I ended up with my 16, which ended up being a buy back, and is how I ended up in my 18. Time consuming, but in my opinion, my dealership and GM stepped up and took care of me both times.
  16. JimCost2014
    I saw 136 the other day with temps in the low 30's, and have seen it creep past 180 - 190 in the heat of the summer, probably has gone just past 200. Do you have a trans temp gauge in the Denali, or do you have to scroll through the DIC like the Silverado's to see the temp?
  17. JimCost2014
    If you like the 22's, go with them. You are the one who will be driving the truck. Had 20's on my 14, and 22's on the last two trucks, not a whole lot of difference in ride. But, like mentioned above, tires make a huge difference, know this first hand swapping out the factory Bridgestone's on our Tahoe for a set of Michelin's. Night and day difference in every aspect. If you plan on doing any off road driving, just be realistic in your expectations, which holds true for any combo you might have.

    In the long run, it worked out good, took a while. Why are they suggesting you open a claim on a truck under warranty? My claim was opened because the new engine was installed incorrectly in my 16, and ended up being a buy back from GM.
  19. JimCost2014
    Good to know, thanks for the reply and information.
  20. JimCost2014
    Looks great! Any driveline vibration, is everything still within factory specs as far as the pinion angles?
  21. JimCost2014
    Maybe it is afraid, I would be in a lifted truck traveling at that speed.
  22. JimCost2014
    How did the truck act when it hit 85? Did it feel like the fuel had been cut off, or just would not go any faster?
  23. JimCost2014
    Did they offer you some sort of "vehicle tracking" in finance when you when you were buying your trucks? The numbers are acid etched into the glass, if you buy the plan, truck is stolen, thieves are not supposed to be able to get the etching off of the glass, police can then identify the truck
  24. JimCost2014
    Welcome to the site. What manufacturers are considered OEM. Had my windshield replaced in the last 6 months, asked for OEM glass, has all of the GM logos on it, but not same "brand" as on one that came out, or remaining glass.

    Have you thought about packing your scan tool with you, so if it starts running rough again, you can hook up the tool and possibly see what is going on? If you can see real time data, the problem should show itself.
