My 1st GMC, made it a Denali HD

I've always been a truck guy from a Ford, to Toyota's, to a Dodge, then a Chevy, and now a GMC Denali. I was sold on a '14 1500 when the new interiors came out (I knew the time was getting close to upgrade). I decided to wait until the '15's came out with the new interiors before getting serious about buying. Started out looking at the Sierra HD Doublecabs but the wife didn't like that the back seat is really not much bigger than our Silverado X-Cab and the sunroof was not an option. I asked the salesman to bring up a Denali HD to look at and the rest is history.

 

24Hrs later here she is waiting for me to pick her up.

The next day my 'Tint Guy' came over for a little tinting.

That looks great! Still the only color that makes me second guess my choice of BGM. Welcome and thanks for the pics! :cheers:

Thank you @Texas Husker. I loved the color and didn't want another Black vehicle (have 2)

Black is a great color for garage queens and waxers. :lol: Too much labor involved. Man do they look good though. My C5 Z06 was black and It was a pain to keep clean but it did shine.

Nice looking. A little jealous, been pondering a 2500 HD Denali 4wd for a while and just can't seem to pull the trigger.

    • Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver. 
    • Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....  
    • 4 low is really nice on steep boat ramps. 
    • Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.  
    • Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
