Truck Transformations

Another post got me looking at my trucks transformation so since LSU doesn't play until 2:30 I figured I'd start a post of the transformation. Feel free to add your transformations also :lol:

I don't have any stock pics, because these mods were done pretty much immediately.

(3" bl, 2" level, 305/55/20 Nitto Terras, 20" Liquid Metal wheels, Go Rhino Dominator II's.)

Then I painted the bowtie black and added the bull bar. I even took a short stab at chrome door handles.

*** Edit *** in this time frame I had the unfortunate experience of installing the Rough Country 3" lift. No pictures were taken, because I was too busy being PISSED. It was quickly removed.

 

 

Then I became sad and envious everytime I was around my buddies 08 with a Fabtech, plus my tires rubbed. So I ran down and picked up a 6" BDS HC suspension and some 325/60/20 Nitto Terras. This pic was taken the day I got it home with newest additions.

Influenced by the almighty truck forum world, the truck was debadged.

Then I got tired of the truck. So I yanked the bull bar, painted the front bumper, and added tow mirrors.

Then I figured the rear needed to match, so...

The grille followed and this is how it sits today....FOR NOW!

    • Hi, New here.  2026 Denali HD.  Just purchased 7/2/26. I am having the same issue.  I just traded in my 2024 AT4, and the truck connected to bluetooth and Android Auto Immediately!  Now, with the new HD, it connects when it wants to, which is usually not at all.  I have to use the usb-c cable to get it to connect.  Bluetooth won't even connect without the AA. Now after saying all that, I'll take a 20 min drive with the phone plugged in.  Stop at a store, restaurant, etc....  Get back in my truck and DO NOT plug the phone in.  The truck then decides at this point, lets connect BT & AA and work perfectly, ie how it should.   I have deleted (forget phone) the phone multiple times.  I guess I'll just get used to plugging it in every time. even though I don't think its good for the phone battery to have it on charge after it hits 100%. I have searched all over.  No one else seemed to be having this issue, until I read this thread today.   thanks for reading.
    • I have an issue with my ignition hanging and I have to tilt the steering wheel to get in the off position. I have used a great key lock spray and it doesn't help resolve the issue. Is this an ignition assembly issue or something else. If anyone has a past experience with this please advise.   Thanks  Heath
    • This is a terrible GM warranty experience, two months waiting for a covered engine swap with no loaner or timeline is not allowed under GM’s courtesy transport policy.Escalate straight past regular support to a GM executive case manager, document every closed service ticket and dealer repair paperwork. File a complaint with NHTSA to force faster action, and ask for daily rental reimbursement while your truck is down. If it’s been out of service over 30 days, your state lemon law may let you pursue a full vehicle buyback.
    • 198°F isn't unusually hot for an 8L90, so I don't think temperature alone caused the issue. Since everything returned to normal after the truck sat for several days, I'd be looking at an intermittent electronic or hydraulic control problem before assuming the transmission itself has failed. The first thing I'd do is scan the Transmission Control Module (TCM), not just the ECM. GM transmissions can store manufacturer-specific or history codes that won't trigger a check engine light. I'd check: TCM history and pending DTCs Commanded vs. actual gear Line pressure Shift solenoid status Torque converter clutch (TCC) slip Transmission fluid temperature If it happens again, try to capture the data before cycling the ignition, since some intermittent faults disappear after a restart. A professional scan tool that supports full GM transmission diagnostics makes this much easier. For example, the Foxwell NT809BT can access the TCM, read manufacturer-specific transmission codes, and display live transmission data that's not available on a basic OBD-II reader: https://www.foxwelldiag.com/products/foxwell-nt809bt Hopefully it's just an intermittent control issue, but I'd definitely pull the TCM data before replacing any parts.
