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.

Nice to meet yall! Just got this done so figured I'd post in case someone needed to see what a Zone 6.5 looked like on 35x12.5s on Fuel 20s in DDT.

Looks great! What's you lift/wheel/tire setup?

How do you like the RTs? Been in any mud?

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.

What steps are those? Truck looks great

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.

    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
    • 286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔           
    • hello I recently bought a 2012 gmc 1500 with a 5.3 and have a AFM disabler on it I'm interested in doing a cam but I'm worried if I remove the AFM system I will fail smog does anyone have info if they are able to detect that or a work around to it (not talking about hot smogging) please let me know thank you
