I slackened off the rear straps and she sits nice and level now. The WT mats do affect how it lies but only a little. I just saw you are in Calgary. I was born and raised there (grew up in Bonavista and Parkland)

Good to know, where did you pick up the underseat storage? Fellow CowTown-er hey, I was born and raised in BC, live in Calgary now though, yourself?

The next thing to install is the under seat storage unit made by Du-Ha. I elected this product because it was well reviewed but it also included dividers to store a firearm or two. It was easy to install. I may have it a little over tightened as t looks like the front is high. That also may be because the unit is empty at the moment.

Good looking truck, congrats. I just purchase the Du-Hu under-seat storage for mine yesterday. You like it?

I got my bin from:

http://www.duhabins.com/?gclid=COrHiZ7HjbsCFawRMwodDxQAGA

 

It was cheaper and free shipping.

 

The bin is real nice. It is really thick plastic and well made. The dividers for guns and other stuff are thick and well made. I would have constructed them different myself but they will do the job just fine. I love being able to just flip up the seats and have my guns at the ready. If you don't need the floor space frequently they are a no brainer.

I agree with the guns at the ready statement. I'm looking forward to receiving mine.

I just dropped my truck off to have a few more changes added. Nittos, Leveling, Topper (I know... but i need it), Bedrug and some light front window tinting. I'll be picking her up on Thursday and I'll share some pictures. I need to decide if I am going to pull these step bars or not.

*** All Terrain Update ***

 

This is interesting. If you look at my truck you'll not that it has painted bumpers. This is standard on All Terrains. When I ordered this package it subtracted the Bumper Steps. It was only Denali that could have the painted bumpers with the bumpers steps. Unbenounced to me and my dealer the truck showed up with what I refer to as the Denali bumper. All the other AT's in the lot do not have the step. I was pleasantly surprised about this change to AT package. I have had several Denalis packages and I like them (especially now that they allow 4x4 not AWD) but I really wanted the z71 suspension. Well that was the only thing missing for me.

 

That is pretty interesting. I wonder what combo of options got you that. My double cab AT doesn't have the step bumper. would have been nice if it did.

My Double Cab AT has the step bumpers but in Chrome. Would have much preferred them to be painted but oh well. I wonder if GM has decided to offer the painted bumpers standard with the steps. I can't understand why they would be deleted on the AT package when you went painted over the optional chrome given that AT is an uplevel trim. Pics of mine Iridium AT and Shell can be found here: http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/gallery/album/2392-jason-shell/

My 6.2l AT has the corner steps as well, plus I didn't get the power rear window either. I was really bummed about the window as it helps with cab buffeting when the front windows are down.

 

I want to get my front windows done this week if weather is permitting, waiting to see if someone has marketed a set of rear lowering shackles for the 2014's yet. I don't want to lift the front, the truck already has a ton of space in the wheel wells, I don't want anymore.

Amazing how many modifications they make post first run these days. Just a few years ago they would make all of these modifications through the dealer network. I honestly beleive they have found that they can reduce costs and delaer based warranty work by making these changes during production.

 

My dealership told me that they no longer offer a painted bumper w/o steps. They make the painted w/ steps for the Denali and have decided to use them on the AT's. If you have one w/o a step and painted it was run earlier and you now have a unique package. I was sort of upset when i ordered that i couldnt get a step w/ painted in the AT. So when mine arrived last week with the step unannounced you can imagine my excitment.

 

I am flying back to MN now and should have my truck w/ new mods later today.

      Would this be normal or a worn CV Shaft? 51K miles 3.5" lift? Boots are intact and no visible leaks showing. Attached is a the video I took. Thanks     https://youtu.be/ZnW7PPRmjJY?feature=shared

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      If everything checks out at the MAF, then the MAF is BAD, new or not.   You don't need a signal generator to troubleshoot this. PCM needs ALL powers and ALL grounds able to light a halogen headlight bulb - if it can light the bulb bright, then the wiring is good enough to run the PCM.   Best thing you can do for yourself is spend some time here: scannerdanner.com - Check out all his YouTube videos on similar issues. If you decide to subscribe it's the best bang-for-buck ratio in the automotive world, hands-down. He's got TONS of free vids on YouTube, too.

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By contrabombarde · Posted

      Yes, I used my multimeter to probe all of the wires at the MAF, both with the sensor connected, sensor disconnected, key on engine off, key on engine running, etc etc etc. I probed all of the wires again at the PCM, at the connectors, etc. All voltages are what they should be according to the service manual/wiring diagrams. All grounds are good, less than 20 millivolts from the battery negative under load. Both at the connector of the MAF, at the PCM connector etc.      I know this throws a pretty big wrench into things, but this truck was acting up before the swap. I don't have very much information, if any on what was causing it, but if you cleared all of the dtcs it would do the same thing where it would crank, fire, then die. And it would do the same thing a dozen or so times, and eventually it would start and run, but the difference is that it would run and actually be drivable. Whereas now if you can drive it at all, it goes into reduced power mode almost immediately, and even then it's not running correctly. When you come to a stop at a light it stumbles down to for 500 RPM before catching itself and returning to the smooth idle. And if you go more than about 50% throttle then it immediately goes back to doing the misfire thing.    Like I said, I know that throws a wrench into things, and unfortunately I was not able to pull any data or anything like that before I did this work, so I don't have much to go on.    I'm trying to not fixate on one particular thing as the cause of the problem, but it seems like all avenues are pointing me towards the PCM. Like I said I have tested the wiring extensively (see above), and during cranking the sensor does produce seemingly legitimate values at least according to my multimeter, but as soon as the engine fires those values quickly descend into gibberish. I've tried it with multiple different known working sensors, I have done literally every test I can think of multiple times on the wiring (probing the signals, probing the pins with the sensors unplugged, probing the pins at the PCM, voltage drop, voltage drop under load, continuity, ohms, and double-checking everything against the wiring diagrams/ proper values in the service data.)    Another thing that pushes me towards a possible PCM failure is, I have noticed in troubleshooting a little bit taking a break and coming back, that when I leave the truck to sit for a while and cool off, it starts and runs smoothly when I first start it up. However once it warms up. It starts having problems. For example, when I went out to the truck this morning after it had been sitting overnight, I was actually able to drive it down the block. And then once I got on the throttle a Little bit after going about a thousand ft, it started misfiring again. I pulled it back into the driveway, shut it down, and started it back up. It idled smoothly. As soon as I touched the throttle it did the misfire thing again. From then on as soon as I started it it would misfire. I shut the truck off and went to go get a coffee and do a bit more research. When I came back out I started the truck up and it immediately went into the smooth idle. After a couple of minutes of playing around with it, it would not idle smoothly anymore. Let it sit a couple of hours, rinse and repeat. This makes me think with temperature change something is going wrong inside the PCM. I have the PCM out of the 2007 donor vehicle and I'm thinking of getting a one-day subscription to the ACDelco programming service to try and program that and see if it helps.   Like I said, I'm really trying to not fixate myself on one potential cause, but it seems everything is pointing me towards PCM failure. I would really like to try to confirm that, but unfortunately I don't have an oscilloscope or a signal generator to do the GM service procedure where you feed 5 khz into the signal pin.
