Hello all. I've been obsessing over the new GMC and this site for awhile now and finally joined tonight. The truck I wanted with the 6.2 and sunroof was almost non-existant in north Texas but a GMC chat rep located one an hour away and we got it on Tuesday. It's a black 2014 Denali crew, 6.2, 4x4 with the cocoa/dune interior. It has the black GM 6-spoke 22's which I was not sure about at first but they have grown on me now. Immediate plans include better floormats, a Line X and tinting all around. Also considering removing the plastic air dam and the side steps and tuning in the future (actually almost emailed Black Bear tonight since they are coming to Fort Worth soon but think waiting for a bit would be wise).

 

We traded in a 2012 Superduty King Ranch which was just too much truck for us and everything about it was expensive. Before that we had a 2007 Sierra crew 4x4 with a Nelson-tuned Vortec Max which I loved and had great power.

 

Everything about the 2014 is awesome so far and it's good to be back to GM (the wife drives a Yukon Denali). All of your posts on here were very helpful in the decision to buy a 2014 and this is by far the best site for the new trucks. Andrewpost-129063-0-43314400-1394954225_thumb.jpg

Nice choice, good luck with it. Those black wheels look legit on a white truck also.

Oh I think it looks GREAT! Plus I am really jealous over the guage cluster.. I love that techy stuff.. I like the look of the Silverado more than the Sierra, but I would almost have gone for the Denali just for the cluster.. I didn't even know about it until after I bought mine.

Yea the Denali gauge cluster is cool. I don't know why they don't put a similar gauge cluster int he high country Silverado's. That trim is supposed to be the "equal" of the Denali, just in Chevrolet form.

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.

      Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
