It's a matter of taste and practicality for how much you're lifting. Fatter tires certainly look meatier, as would wheels with less offset, but that would increase the odds of serious rubbing problems. I do plan on doing those, but not until I lift it some more.

what motor do you have in your truck?

No AWD, they're regular switchable 2WD/4AUTO/4HI/4LOW now. I wouldn't have bought an AWD.

 

Hey Jon, Truck looks good. How did you get the red paint off the GMC logo on your rims?

The Denali rims do not have red GMC logos.

Weird... my 2015 Denali with the same style Denali rims has the letters in red. Guess you got lucky.

Really? Got pics?

 

Are they chrome? I heard they were going to stop offering the chrome and go to painted or something. Maybe that's why?

I was at the dealer yesterday and noticed that the new Sierra Denali didn't have chrome but maybe a satin finish, and they all had red GMC inserts. The Yukon Denali all still had chrome with chrome GMC inserts. It must be 2015 change.

 

The website now says "Ultra Bright Machined Aluminum" or "Polished Aluminum" wheels - no longer chrome.

      Of course refrain from political debate but I myself have very dismal hope for what is all going on up here every where we turn so I nodded my head when I saw this joke.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage.
