Windows have been tinted 15% all around since I took these photos. All of my chrome is getting painted next week. I'm also going to wrap the roof in gloss black.

I absolutely love them. I was trying to wait for the Ridge Grapplers but I'm very happy with these. They still have the aggressive look, but are far more quiet than 33" Trail Grapplers that I'm coming from.

 

No mud yet. She's still a concrete princess....for now.

I am so jealous! I wanted those so bad but I just was not sure how they would look with my silver truck. Your truck looks great!

I didn't really need new wheels but there was a sale on labor day weekend and I figured I wouldn't get em any cheaper. I got the Procomp Rockwell series 34 size 17x8.5 with a 0 offset in the black finish. I was going to get the machine faced version, but I feel like it makes the wheel look to small. I may not have minded if I went with a 20" wheel but I already had the Bfg Ko2 in 285/70-17 on the stock wheel so I stayed with the 17". I got all four wheels installed for $655 + the $75 rebate. . I have the Bilstein 5100 adjustable front's set on the highest setting and I have no rubbing issues. :fingersx:

 

Sorry for the bad photos.

Thanks! They are just the factory GM steps.

 

I had AMP steps on my old truck and liked them a little better. These don't come down at all, they just come out, so it's a little hard to get into with the 6". They do have a nice feature where you push a button on the back of the step and it comes out and towards the rear tire so you can step into the bed.

I can tell you a bit about the RT's, not that much but I've been in super soft sand and light mud with them and they have been great! My AT2's clogged with mud and were slicks in no time. These however, perform much better. All terrains are mostly about looks meshed with economy IMO. That's from my experience. My RTs are way more capable and I think they have a solid niche giving me the performance on and off-road when I need it without having to go to an all out mud tire. Hope this helps a little if trying to decide on which route to go for tires

Did you mount them differently or is that just the angles? They look tucked in more than stock steps for some reason

Sorry, they are the factory retractable steps, so they tuck up under when the doors are closed.

 

Here's a picture of them in the bed access mode. (Was in the process of wrapping my roof)

Nice! I guess they brought that option in '17? I know they did it previously on SUVs. Truck looks killer.

Thanks. It's currently at the paint shop getting all of the chrome painted. I know the chrome is the Denali's signature, but it was just too much for me. I'll post some more pictures when it's finished on Friday.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I decided to give it a shot and see what sort of a gong show it would be to a pan drop themed oil change on my 2025 gas truck with the 10 speed. All indications I had seen so far was that there was no way that pan was coming out of there due to the cross over exhaust pipe not allowing enough clearance for the back end of the pan to duck out from under the valve body since it hangs lower than the pan to trans mount flange and certainly the filter does. I never touched any of the exhaust mount hardware at all, be that the engine manifolds to Y pipe, the bracket on the side of the transmission, or the two bolt flange further back behind the trans/transfer case. I put the truck up on four jack stands as there was no way I was going to struggle with that lack of clearance under the truck. The truck was cold as it had sat over night so all the trans fluid had drained to the pan, so I drained the bit of oil that would come out of the level check plug at the bottom near the front of the pan and put the plug back in to reduce the ensuing mess after that. Then took out all but one bolt front and rear and then pushed up on the pan and took out the remaining two bolts and then let the front of the pan tilt and spill out most of its contents into a drain pan. I then popped the pan gasket off its two locating nubs and kicked it a bit to the left side so it was no longer on the flange of the pan to get all the clearance I could and managed to get the pan slipped out of there by swinging the front of the pan to the right but keeping the rear part of the pan inline if not slightly to the left of its mounting flange area and lifting the front of the pan enough to keep the rear part of the pan low enough that allowed the pan to "JUST" slip out without forcing anything. I installed a new trans filter and seal and as per GM instructions on this site I torqued the two bolts to that 44 inch pound goal ( they take an 8 mm socket ) In reversing the pan procedure after I had cleaned up the pan both inside and out completely ( touching the outside of a dirty pan and dealing with installing a gasket at the same time would be a disaster ). First I slipped the pan into place and yes it took me a while as it won't go unless its slid in just at the right angles, then once the back of the pan was into the area of the flange mount, I went and got the gasket and then threaded that through the front of the pan and feeding it under the filter etc and finally working it onto the flange of the pan and lining up the two locating nubs to drop into the pan. Then lifted the pan up into place and get a couple of bolts started and check and make sure the gasket is where its supposed to be as the bolts were being put in. I never used any power tools as I don't have any of the whimsy little drive guns, I use what looks like a small screw driver handle with shank that has a 1/4 drive on the end of it and added an extension and those bolts use a 10 mm socket as some times power tools can bite a person if used on delicate parts ( torqued to 80 inch pounds ). Also should note as per rules around pulling the add plug out first, yes I cracked that loose with a 8 mm Allen bit socket on a 3/8 slim head ratchet as there isn't a lot of room to work with there either due to the exhaust on the right side of the trans.    I already had delco ULV oil on hand and of course the quart bottle pump wasn't made for those small cap threads so I had to use some other containers that the pump would fit and keep transferring oil over into them so a wasted exercise there but indeed the small pump did work just fine as ULV oil is thin and easy to pump in summer time weather. I put in 9.5 quarts as per prior minimum recommendation and yes that cut it pretty close as once I had the truck ( off the jack stands so its level ) and the trans oil up to 167f , about 6 ounces came out but a level kit or what have you could throw it off just enough that it wouldn't be enough oil so probably that 10 quarts is a good amount to put in so one doesn't have to add more oil as when its hot I sure wouldn't want to be adding oil so would have to let the exhaust cool. All I do for warming up the transmission is sit there with it in park and rev it to about 2500 rpm and it takes close to 20 minutes to get it up to that lower limit of 167f, weird how it will warm up more doing that then by driving it, I am not real keen on power braking the truck to get the temp up there and don't seem to have to either. By the way I only have 9000 miles on the truck so probably not a very good payback on doing it that soon and the magnets had such a minor thin layer of fines on them so that was good to see and the color of the oil was a darker red then new oil but still looked very good as it should and I've not done any towing with it so its been living a pretty easy life so far. The filter is made in such a way that its next to impossible to pull out the filter media but there certainly was some fines showing up there which makes sense give the trans having to break in.    I hadn't really planned on explaining this much of what I had done since there are various instruction videos kicking around or I think so, as the gist of my message as that by fluke or what have you, for some reason my truck has just enough clearance to slip the pan out from the trans. Of course there is no guarantee that other trucks like this in general will also allow the pan to be taken out without messing with the exhaust as I expect its probably a crap shoot if it will or won't, I was just happy to find out that mine would work and avoid all the other struggling and possibly damaging things in the process,

      Fog Lamps 2024 2500 HD

      By BCGM · Posted

      Do you fellas think Fog Lamps would  be a good upgrade for our 2024 2500 HD Custom ? As you probably know it did not come with them ,  Would you put in GM Chevy parts ? Do they get wired up to the switch panel ( Upfitter or whatever the correct terminology is ) on the dash ? Thanks

      It would depend on what you do to lower it.

      Does lowering the truck change its towing capacity?  I wouldn't mind lowering mine, but I loan it out a few times during the summer for my daughter to pull her travel trailer (5,000lbs).
