Has anyone found a 2.5" lift / level that works properly in the 2017 GMC Denali with the Magneride ? I have called everywhere locally and keep getting mixed answers. I want to be sure before I start messing with it. Thanks for your help in advance !!

So i put my RC 2" level kit and Toyo 295/55/20's on this weekend. Install was simple, just like on my 2011. It definitely helps to have an extra set of hands when wedging that spacer in there. 295/

Thanks. Here is one more from yesterday. Considering we're getting 8-10 inches of rain the next two days, I won't be taking any better pics soon.

No Magneride, just an Elevation edition.

Yup that's the one I was looking at, but rough country said if I use their Version that uses the top shim too that it may overextend and damage steering linkages ? Do I trust rough country or suspension maxx ?

I have the Rough Country 2.0" level kit on my 2017 Denali with Magneride, installed by the dealer. Zero issues, rides like factory or better. Truck is also perfectly level. No rear blocks.

This thread has several members who have used the Suspension Maxx level kits on 15+ Sierra Denalis with no issues. One member used Ebay spacers and fabricated his own Magnaride sensor relocation bracket for less than $30. Good luck with whatever you choose.

Is this specific to 2017 Denalis? I've got the rough country 2.5 lift/level kit, any reason I shouldn't put it on my '17 with magnaride?

I searched this thread for days upon days looking at all the pictures you guys post of your rides and comments about everything before I did anything to my 2014 Z71 and I was wondering if anyone has pictures of an installed 2.5" RC Lift/level kit with and without blocks in the rear to see the difference it shows.

As long as you have the version intended for Magnaride it should be fine. The main difference is that it comes with two little brackets that adjust the magnaride sensors to account for the lift. Very straightforward. You CANNOT use a regular lift/level kit on Magnaride without these, or your truck will drive like a dump truck.

According to rough country there is nothing for 2017 Denali specifically only up to 16 which doesn't make sense to me ? What did they chance that makes such a difference in 17 ? Only difference I have found is that they went from aluminum control arms to stamped steel ?

This is the problem ... only change was the stamped control arms .. now they say you can't use the top spacer & they don't have a kit for the rear .. just 2" level kit for the front ... frustrating to say the least.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Most thermostatically controlled ATF systems use a 'wax' pill just like the one in your water thermostat. They work on the expansion volume of the wax and the pill is constructed in such a way as to limit the travel to remain within that range. This means it has an opening temperature often called the 'cracking temperature' and a fully open temperature. For whatever reason oil is designated by it's fully open temperature and water by it's cracking temperature.    Between the two it the "Regulating Temperature" The entire range is about 20 F from closed to open. In your example the lower limit, opening point of 145 F then has a fully open temp of 165 F and a throttling temperature of 155 F.    Thing is, the throttling temperature needs two things to work properly. Enough system load high enough to reach the minimum and a heat sink (cooler/exchanger) large enough to prevent any load applied from exceeding the fully open temperature.    If your system exceeds the fully open temperature it is screaming MORE COOLER.    Here is the silly part of the whole thermostat system where the oil is cooled/heated by the radiator. Nothing is flowing to that system until the oil temperature reaches the cracking temperature unless it is equipped with a minimum flow bypass orifice or a bypass built into the seating surface of the plunger. That system meant to get it up to temp quicker isn't doing a thing until WORK drives if from ambient to cracking temp. One a cold winter day, like zero F, it may never get hotter than about 110 F. Sometimes not even that.    People forget or are young enough to not know that until this millennia transmissions were cooled by the radiator cold tank alone and without a thermostat at all.  In the 50's they weren't even cooled. OEMs learn everything the hard way.    When an OEM tells you the trans "Works best" between 175 F and 220 F it means works best for THEM. The transmission thermostat is fuel play. If you watch you trans temps like I do you will learn that it may take a hundred miles if you are not towing and not driving more than say 55-60 mph on a zero F day to even reach 120 F and it might sit there all day if it's colder. Yet if functions perfectly over about 100 F. It may need to get a bit warmer for the fuel and spark maps to go without an multiplier.    Worry more about too hot. Use a cooler large enough to put that thermostat in range.

      Around 2008 if memory serves they took sulfur out. That was when diesel went up.

      Gas Prices

      By richard wysong · Posted

      Question for you Grumpy, why is diesel so much more than gasoline? Seems to me that it may be slightly a little less refined than gas and it doesn't have 10% alcohol which presumably lowers the price of gas

      Thanks, so being a different beast altogether, anyone know what the "optimal" temp is for the 10L80/90 for proper shifting?

      How many years have I pointed out every point in that link to the folks here and been avalanched with criticisms and outright hostilities at times? I ran counter to even the great CUSTOMBOSS and Lake Speed Jr and the half dozen experts on YouTube and in the final.....GM, Physics (Stribeck) backs that Grumpy old Bear.    Honestly, I never said a thing engineering hadn't studied silly and laid in concrete during WWII. But I'm old, the information is old and yet, the Laws of Physics are eternal.    Okay there is one exception. I vehemently disagree with their use of the word 'tolerances' when what it meant is "clearance".   The clearance is the distance between two objects. The tolerance is the degree of acceptable variation permitted in that clearance. I.E., piston to bore clearance is 0.004" with a tolerance of +/- .0002" so the clearance is in specification if it lies between 0.0038" and 0.0042". Cutting that 'tolerance in half has ZERO impact on lubrication requirements. Makes for more difficulty in manufacturing.  But a tighter clearance 'MAY'. Depends on finish. Anyway....   It's one of those statements made by people to make themselves look smarter than they are to convince people who are as un-enlighten as they seem to manipulate their behaviors. But hey, the blind leading the blind puts them both in the pit.
