Hey guys,

 

I searched and I searched but I cannot find the thread on here that shows an air bag install with pics? If anybody has a link please post I am going to install them today and would like a reference with photos.

 

Thanks!

I installed a set on my dad's truck, I'll look up the thread and post a link.

 

Also if you have any questions, let me know I'd be glad to help

 

Ok, here's the LINK

I am glad to have found you!!! I already lost my mind and packed up the bags back in the box after hours on end trying to tighten the F-ing nickel bolt and nut that holds the upper mount. I apparently do not have a tool that can fit inside the frame to hold the bolt from spinning freely. I tried so long to do it with a wrench but just couldn't get a good hold on it. So now that I gave up and remounted the tires etc please show me the tool or the secret way to hold that bolt from spinning freely. :mad: I saw your post and the pictures and only wish my truck looked like that right now. To top the cake when I got back inside the wife asked what took me so long. Lol one damn nut took me that long! :)

I am thinking of just selling these if somebody wants to buy them. I only attempted to tighten one bolt so essentially the entire kit is brand new. I would like to sell them for what I bought the kit for which was $205

I used a regular wrench. If I remember right, it took a while since I couldn't get very much of a turn on it each time. That was the hardest part of the install, everything else is pretty straight forward. They are well worth it, towing is so much better 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.

      2004 GMC Sierra Crew Cab Ignition issues

      By Heath · Posted

      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

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By jl6690506 · Posted

      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.

      2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 8l90

      By jl6690506 · Posted

      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.
