  1. Looks great! Details please. Are the factory or aftermarket?
  2. That just sucks. And one of the biggest reasons stopping me from lowering my truck. Imagine that happening to your 7000 lb vehicle at highway speeds.
  3. Very nice. I have a 2014 twin. Denali, 153" wheel base, Iridium Metallic.
  4. Don’t be scared by the price of the mount I used for my install. It’s been like 8,000 miles and it’s still rock solid. It’s gone up a $1 in price but still....9 bucks. Lol
  5. ....With that much of a deficit I might even consider putting bigger wheels and tires on it to get some attention.
  6. Yeah...a $20k loss on a new truck is not good at all. Under those circumstances I agree a private sale may be the best option. After the insulting offer you got from the dealer I’d look for a parking place across /next to them and leave it for sale on weekend days. Make a big sign that says “4-SALE $5k less than dealer.” Lol. .... I laugh but I’m not really kidding. ?
  7. Well...there’s a whole lot of inventory out there at the moment. And at the price you paid folks may want the new body Silverado instead. Plus the loan to value may not work out for a potential buyer as not many people are not going to pay cash for a $50k truck. I think If you are he’ll bent on ordering a 2020 then your only option is to trade it in. I’d try and work the deal with the same place you bought this one just to see if they can offer any loyalty credit.
  8. Because if your charging your phone you have to set it upside down or on its side. And due to the steep angle of the built in shelf, a plugged in, upside down phone doesnt sit very stable. And navigation is not as easy to read when the phone is on its side. For occasional use its fine but I practically live in my truck for work so I really need a stable location for my phone. Last, I have a 2014 which does not have Android or Apple Car play. So Im stuck with GM Intellilink which does not offer screen sharing. Im toying with the idea of upgrading this.
  9. Yeah....I tried a cup holder mount but didnt like anything about how it fit in my truck. Plus, like you I didnt like giving up one of my cup holders and it just seemed to bring the phone to close to me.
  10. Just wanted to share my cheap cell phone mount. I have a 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali with the removable / relocatable cup holders. The face of the cup holder assembly is smooth and is a good place to mount a suction cup phone holder base like the one I bought from Amazon for a whopping $7.99. And the surprise is that the mount adjusts for height/length and tilt/angle. Seems very stable and holds tight. Best $8 I've spent in a long time.

  11. I cant see how the geometry of shock extenders vs. shorter shocks would make any difference?
  12. Thanks for the info. After much reading it sounds like drop spindles up front and flip kit in the rear. I would like to have correct length shocks to avoid shock extenders but cant seem to determine the size as most are designed to lower which Im already doing. I know that sounds stupid but I want to be sure i get the right parts.
  13. Such a headache. How come factory headlights last a life time but aftermarket, no matter cost, crap out, the first year??
  14. No link but neither seller have any more. Just widen your search terms on ebay and save the search so you get alerts when the item your seeking pops up for sale.
  15. The video above is good. I didnt need to change the clock spring because I was just swapping a worn steering wheel for new one. I will say this I was stumped for a bit trying to release the air bag clips. You really need to understand how they are held in to get them to release. The video above shows them better than the video I used. Overall it was a quick and painless procedure.
  16. Looks great! Tell me a bout the lowering kit. How far did you drop it and whos parts did you use?
  17. What lowering kit did you use?
  18. Super easy. Maybe 10 minutes total. Shift handle is one Torx screw and a small plug. Pull off the top and bottom plastic steering column shroud, unplug the wire from underneath and take the single screw out of the base of the shifter lever.
  19. After 112k miles the leather wrapped steering wheel and shifter handle in my 14 Sierra 1500 Denali were showing the wear and tear of the miles. So after a visit to EBay, $150 and 30 minutes later I have replaced them both with factory new OEM replacements. Came out great and was an easy way to take the miles back off my interior.
  20. Before anyone asks, this a Photoshop image. I wanted to see what the truck would like with the factory wheels in 22-24 size, no running boards, and lowered. When I went shopping for this truck I was specifically looking for the standard bed with no sunroof. Now looking at new Denali's its almost an impossible combination.
