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.

Thank You for information

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.

    • Two days ago went from 2.99 to 3.39   Yesterday down to 3.19   This morning 2.99   What the...........
    • Jumped up 15 cents yesterday. $4.15
    • I have never seen GM instructions for the other trucks as per the HD with the 6 speed or the half tons but had got the impression that the HD trucks with the 6 speed were not having the same problem that the 10 speed and pan presented. Also video that I have seen of the HD 10 speed with the gas engine starting in 2024 model year showed that it was a real struggle to even make it work when pulling down hard on the exhaust after undoing the exhaust hanger bracket on the side of the transmission as after all there is little room for the pipe to even go down behind the Y joint as it soon would hit a frame cross member. Also that they had tried just like I did with the gasket off and no way was that pan coming out any way they tried to manipulate the pan. From that as well as the local transmission shop talking about the pain in the rear issue, I was not expecting my pan to come out because GM shows it was not even intended to come out without dealing with the exhaust piping.    It would be nice to claim, here's what you do and its easy to remove the pan guaranteed on any HD truck with the gas 10 speed but dollars to donuts the next guy trying what I did would not have the same luck as the exhaust was just manufactured slightly different and be pissed off at my claim that the pan comes out with no issue. Its more of a try and see if your particular truck might work like mine did .... or not !. 
    • Sorry I didn't see this until now, but it works on both the 6 speed and 10 speeds, as well as all the half tons too.
    • Hello, I have a 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 that I recently changed both motor mounts on due to the driver's side being blown out. After replacement I seem to have a steady vibration that I can feel in the pedals and the back of the seat. At this point I'm convinced that the aftermarket "Anchor" branded mounts I used are not performing as well as OE, the only real reason I ended up using the mounts in question was because my local dealers were out a few months to get a Driver's side mount. I've tried "Neutralizing" the mounts according to the motor mount TSB published for these truck to no avail. My trans mount is also in great shape and seems to be absorbing vibrations swimmingly. As far as I can tell there is no issues idling, my idle RPM is steady and I've recently put GM plugs and wires on, however, I have not cleaned the throttle body or intake valves. Any one else have a similar experience with aftermarket mounts? Patience certainly is a virtue that I wish I exercised here. Thank you!
