Switched out CK375s to these. Not sure the name but they're 22" replicas to the ones off the new Denali Yukons. I also added bilstein 5100 front and back. Added Michelin defenders.

Did you notice a difference between the 5100s and stock?

Oh yea big difference. I feel like the ride is smoother and not as bumpy as stocks. With stocks I felt a lot of the bumps in the road but not with the 5100s. We have a lot of railroads around here and that's where I can tell the difference. I can hardly feel anything going over them. I had them installed on the highest setting and truck looks level.

I have a white 2017 Sierra Elevation Edition. V8 5.3L 6spd 4x4 double cab. 7,000 miles and owned it for 10 months.

 

I have absolutely loved this truck. I purchased this model specifically because I did not want the technology they are putting in all the nicer trims. The first thing to fail on all these new vehicles is going to be something electronic. 

 

Mods in order of when I got them:

 

Tonneau cover and bed mat added

2in front level

Plastidip chrome badges

Black Vinyl Overlays for GMC front and back

Rear wheel well liner to cover the white

Window vents

Added 15% extra tint to the front

Removed AirDam

Installed a wireless charger into the center console where we all put our phones already (one of my favorites for convenience)

Upgraded to 275/65/R20 BFG KO2's

 

Future Mods:

 

Front Runner bed rack (to add a rooftop tent)

Skid plates

rock sliders

Grill Light Bar

Rear dual Flood lights that will swivel

K&N Air intake

Cat Back Exhaust

OEM backup camera install

CVT Mt. Rainier Roof Top Tent with Annex

Programmable AUX swithes (factory replacement with factory work truck switches. Takes the two traction control and bed lamp switches and adds 4 more AUX switches)

 

Only issues with the truck so far are electrical (one of the reasons I wanted less electronics). Radio and Dash light flicker on and off, truck is in the shop now for it. Got a call writing this and they're saying it is my dash cam plugged into the USB port that is causing it. Picking it up today and will see. 

 

Other than that the truck has been absolutely fantastic. I don't want any other brand or model, mine is my ideal truck. Anyways, here is a picture of her right now.

    • What meaningful corrections were done to fix the "machining errors?"   I bet nothing, because the 6.2 is soon to be obsolete. Why would GM implement any fix let alone an "expensive one?"   Until someone can provide any convincing information that GM did ANYTHING to correct the engines - the 6.2 is no for me.    Which means keeping the 2016 Denali longer until the next generation (6.6?) proves itself.
    • If my father took a Sunday off. We did the Sunday drive. Usually stopping at a Geno’s for dinner that we eat in the car. Six of us with my little sister up front. It was always a Buick growing up. In New Jersey you couldn’t get lost. Not like Texas.
    • Hoooooooly smokes, batman!    
    • I suppose I am Atlas. It can always be worse, eh?   I had a friend once that rolled one payment into another until he was paying the price of Benz for a 10 year old back marker. Wouldn't be often you start a new payment the month following your old one. 
    • I still enjoy the drive   Some people fish when they retire; some golf. I drive. We've lived in the same general area now for twenty eight years and I'm still finding at least monthly some sweet quite little road to explore. When I tell the Mrs. I'm heading out for coffee she knows that could be a five hour event. Often she even goes along.    I like finding new rural routes used mainly by the locals that start nowhere in particular and end the same way. Many in the area of that type are narrow paved and twisty, hilly and run through field and timber. Often along creeks or wetlands. Unfarmable areas of great natural beauty.    After years of this type of exploration they start to fit together. One ending a mile or so from another and you start threading together a new path from a unfamiliar place to a new adventure. Sometimes to a little town of under five hundred that used to be something before the Interstate or some railroad or US highway bled the life out of it that has a small dinner with the greatest slice of pie you've eaten since grandma made her last. A little village museum or library or even a town square park with grand old oak, walnut and Osage orange trees to sit under while you sip you gas station coffee and chat up some locals.    Often they are full of stories about the main streets more interesting buildings and the who's who of the area. Sometimes some hidden attraction or unseen history. Our area is full of old coal mines.     A younger self used to do this going cross country by motorcycle. Only a general area as a destination with no time to get there and no time to be back. Sitting at days end in a 10 unit off the main highway motel under a Sycamore tree yacking with the owner or his one semipermanent guest while I adjusted valves or the chain. Always a wave and a shout "Hey there stranger"!  It's how I came by my love of old Brit iron. There is no such things as a ten minute gas stop when your on a Enfield or a vintage Triumph. Same being true of old cars.    If you take the time to really look I've found everywhere is someplace interesting. Illinois or West Virginia. Different and yet the same.    People are in a more relaxed mood and will talk about anything and everything and if they like you there may be a cupp'a or a lemonade and a sandwich in it. 😉
