  1. For the record, this has come up again on my 2017. This time however there’s a broken wire in my drivers side door wiring harness and a few other wires that are cracked. I’ve got a new wire harness on order that should be here within the next few days.
  2. That’s the way to clear the code if there’s been a change in battery. However, there are other causes that this won’t fix.
  3. Hi All, anyone else have a crackling sound coming from your windshield? I have a 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali & anytime I'm driving over 50 mph it sounds like I'm driving in rain or through a sand storm. Driving me crazy & I want to find a fix.
  4. This is a BCM reset function. When your truck looses the connection with the battery you'll get this message on the dash. Sometimes its just because the battery was just disconnected or changed. Other times it could be some sort of other connection such as short or loose ground. This issue I originally had was the connection in driver side door was getting wet due to poor sealing. That's been corrected for quite a while now & haven't had any issues since. Your issue may be different as my truck never died on me while driving.
  5. i've got a 6" lift & 35" tires and still fit in my garage. Barely but I fit with about 3/4" of room above the cab.
  6. with a 2" level kit on my 17 I was rubbing slightly with 285/55's on stock 20" wheels. Had to use spacers to get needed clearance. That's no longer on my truck as I now have a 6" Fabtech lift on it & aftermarket wheels with 35" tires
  7. Hi All, does anyone have experience with Fabtech's Dirt Logics coil overs and shocks? I've got a 2017 GMC Sierra with their 6" Gen II lift. My shocks are the stock Magneride shocks & one is now leaking. Expensive to replace and I'd like to get rid of the spacers and stock springs. Curious on how well these work vs other coil over set ups.
  8. Hi All, I've got 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali that has a 6" Fabtech lift on it. My stock passenger side Magneride coil over is now leaking oil like crazy & its probably just a matter of time before it fails on me. Being that a single Magneride coil over is +$600, if I install myself, I was thinking of just getting a Mageride over-ride kit and replacing the coil overs & shocks with a more conventional system. Since I'm looking to do that, why not go with a 6" lift coil over and ditch the spacer that goes on top of them? However, finding a 6" coil over system isn't very easy to do. What are your suggestions?
  9. I’ve got a 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali with the Magneride system. Also have a 6” Fabtech lift and 35” tires. Found that the front right strut is now leaking and pretty badly too. Anyone replace their Magneride system with a conventional system with 6” lift front struts and correct length shocks in the rear? If you did which manufacture did you use? I can find some Bilstein 5100’s but not more than a 2 3/4” lift
  10. I’ll have to give that a shot & see what happens. Thanks for the tip.
  11. I just started looking into this issue with my truck. I've got a 6" FabTech lift and running 35" tires. I'm also getting a groan under acceleration, say between 30 & 50mph, when in 4auto. Didn't think about it being the front driveshaft but maybe? Did you get your issue resolved?
  12. My issue hasn't returned and it does appear that it's been fixed... knock on wood...
  13. Any new updates on this issue? I’ve got a 2017 GMC Sierra Denali and have a similar issue. For me this only happens during the winter months. My dealership has worked on my truck each winter since purchasing the truck new in the summer of 17 trying to fix it. They do get the gauge working correctly, but it comes back as soon as the gas stations go back to winter blends. The dealership has said that they think its has something to do with Chevron, Shell, or Costco stations & their special winter blends. However, this year I’ve avoided those stations and the low fuel readings have come back anyway. I’ll be calling the dealership again, but my guess is that they’ll say I’m past my warranty period & they’ll not cover it this time around.
  14. Yes it did. Showed my pics to the service writer at my dealership and they cleaned it up. Would have done it myself but they also needed to replace the window tint so I had them take care of it. Been several months now since I've had this error come up... knock on wood...
  15. Unplugged the door harness & see a tiny bit of green something at the bottom of the connector. Could this be a little corrosion from getting wet? Wonder if a little dielectric grease might be a viable solution to my problem? BTW, I did notice that the wires for my truck are wrapped in a black cloth tape.
  16. Thanks, I'll have to take a look at this to see what I find. Won't help with the service department as they're not interested in what I think could be contributing factors, but I'll look anyway. Also, got my truck back today after it was sitting at the detailership for two weeks. They did remove the tint as they mentioned last week, but only from the driver's side front window & not the passenger side. Otherwise they didn't touch the truck. They don't want to call the Field Service Engineer back until it's been confirmed that removing the tint didn't fix my issue. I'm sure I'll be calling them later this week when the error message pops back up on my dash.
  17. wish this was that easy. This issue has been going on for over a year now & the battery has been replaced, BCM has been replaced, the window motor has been replaced, had computers reset, window stops reset multiple times, etc. still this issue won't go away. That's why they need a field services engineer flown in to look at the truck next
  18. Got another update for anyone that’s interested. The bullshit is getting deeper & deeper too. Finally got the field services engineer in town to look at my truck. He also took a look at the records & noted that GM’s Technical Assistance Center recommended that the window tint be removed from the front windows. My dealership did not do that & never mentioned it to me. Because of this the field services engineer won’t look at the truck until the tint is removed. Now the dealership is going to remove the tint. They are supposed to get me something in writing stating that they’ll reimburse me for re-tinting the truck if this doesn’t fix my issue. Complete bullshit I’m sure but I’m being told it’s the only way they can move forward with any attempts to fix it.
  19. Curious, have you been able to get your issue fixed? If so, what was done?
  20. No, used the lift blocks that are included with the lift kit. Ad-a-leafs are good, but also tend to stiffen up the ride too.
  21. For those that are interested my saga here continues... As noted in early Feb, I was told that my dealership needs to bring in a GM Field Services Engineer to look at my truck. Called a couple weeks later to see if anything had been scheduled yet & was told "nothing yet" and "we'll let you know as soon as we get an engineer scheduled to come in". Well, my Action Required message has become much more frequent again lately (4 times this week so far) so I called the dealership to see what their plans are with the engineer. Their response? Well evidently they cannot schedule an engineer to come in unless they have the vehicle onsite. So now I have to leave my truck with them so they can get this on an engineers schedule. AND it has to stay at the dealership until the engineer has come in to look and hopefully repair the truck. Asked how long that'd take & was told it could be days to weeks, don't really know. They also said that since my truck is currently past its 36,000 warranty that they won't be able to give me a loaner vehicle until after the engineer looks at the vehicle and confirms this is a warranty issue. Been to the dealership 10 times over the last year so how in the mother-effin'-hell can this not be??? Needless to say IF I ever get this fixed I'll never return to this dealership again!
  22. yup, sounds about right. Nice truck! My lift, wheels, tires, etc. came to a bit over $4500. Did the installation in my garage with a buddies help which saved me $1000+. Just had to buy beer & pizza.
  23. Little better pic of her...
  24. Cost me a bit more than I wanted but in the end it's all good. $1500 for the lift, did the install myself with a little help from a buddy. Wheels & tires were a little more than twice the price of the lift, so a little over $4.5K for the whole thing. Gotta take more & better pics but here's one...
  25. Finally got it all together...
