I thought the sunroof was standard on the high Country. Nice truck regardless.

I did similar with LTZ since I don't care for the one interior option on the High Country. If they could have give us a black option, I'd of went that way. Of course, if GMC would have had mag ride in 14 I'd would have put up with the headlights.

I wish GMC had the interior color the high Country has. Love that saddle brown interior. Looks very nice. I'll swap you for my all black interior lol

Oh, and I think the Sierra front end is nicer than the Silverado front end. Idk it just looks nicer. Love the Denali front end, so that's why i went with it

Chevy looked bland. Love the LED DRL's :)

You are correct good sir, however, 2 is always nicer haha.

If you're getting rid of those GMC wheels i may want to take them off your hands! ;)

I'm in love with the brown interior.....It seems a bit softer than the normal leather and it probably draws the most comments from those who see the truck for the first time.

2" rough country, 1.5" zone. 295/70r18 trail grapplers with method mesh +18 offset. They stick out about 1/4" to 1/2" past the fender.

 

They rub the fender liner at full lock in forward and reverse.

All I've done so far is the Leer top and the N-Fab nerf bars. HID headlights and LED courtesy and fog lights are next.

2015 Sierra Elevation Edition - 5.3/3.42/4x4

 

And it's already reminding me how much of a PITA it is keeping a black vehicle clean.

Only bad thing is not E85. Hopefully I can fix that.

I like the LED DRL, but don't like how it imbalances the flow across the truck with the big step up of the painted trim. Also less light. Not worth giving up mag ride for it but there were no valuable upgrades to me in the Denali in 2014.

 

I never felt it the high county because I don't do brown.

 

Sort of like Ford interior in 2014. Couldn't even consider it, just made me sick. All just preferences, not bashing anyone's choice.

 

For instance black is the best looking color ever when it's clean, I just won't be the one keeping it clean ever again.

Nice truck, this is exactly what I am wanting to do... How hard was it to install the body lift? Did you do it or have someone to do it?

Thanks.

 

The body lift isn't really hard, just a pain in the ass because it takes so long. I was a little disappointed with Zones kit. I believe they shorted me hardware and their instructions are not detailed at all. But my friend and I made it work. Just get someone to help you with the bumpers and it's not bad.

So what separates the elevation edition from others? I mean I realize it sits higher but how do they achieve it? Spacers? shocks? Body lift?

    • Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-
    • Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.     
    • I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
    • I do too. I’ll never be stuck again 😂
    • It has happened to me a few times. I carry a jumpstart-tire inflator with me.
