Yep, and you can get em from a forum member that runs oempartsdirect.com. His handle here is SuperChargedSS I do believe.

Ah, yes. The gentleman who's wife drives that beautiful 2015 lifted GMC Denali HD. He has a build thread on it

Just ended my 800 mile round trip towing about a 3600 pound trailer, 400 pounds of gear in the bed, plus the truck had 4 full sized adults in it. Worked it up and down the appalachian mountains. She w

Well, figured what better time to start a build thread than on a new truck since I never did do one on my 02. Anyways, bought the truck November 29, 2014 and as of right now, a few days later, its sti

Truck looks good and don't get too spoiled with that luxury interior, so jealous, I'm sure whatever you do will look good. I'm partial to K&N CAI (hint hint). Sorry had to throw that in.

Yep that's him. I watched him build the Denali HD from Instagram (http://instagram.com/oempartsdirect). He used to have a 1500 with the 2500 HD front end (bumper, hood, etc) - it was called the Yeti. He is also an American Force wheels dealer. Nevermind the website, shoot him a PM or email he usually has some stuff in stock and he is in Davie FL.

Still want to lift the nose up so looking into level kits as we speak. Measurements that I took yesterday when it was getting dark were 39" rear and then 36.5" front

looks nice so far. I've been a big fan of my ready lift leveling kit on my 07. easy install and hasnt caused any issues.

I truly want a lift kit deep down, but even deeper down I remember all the problems I had with my other truck and it makes me steer away lol but they look soooo good lifted. Probably just a level with 33's and replica sierra all terrain wheels and I'll be satisfied. Do a slight debadge and some other stuff

 

Saw something in another thread with footwell led lights. He had them wired to the usb port so they are always on while driving. I plan on wiring mine to the dome light so they come on with them

I still think you should get rid of those Badlander emblems.

I like the high country emblems on the doors. I think I'll take off the door trim, 4x4 emblems, and debadge the tailgate except for the high country emblem. I like them there [emoji106]

Friday I plan on ordering lights to install for footwell lighting from this place, gonna do white:

I was also just outside hooking up my trailer to the truck and realized there is no light back there for when you hook up a trailer in the dark! Now I know its not a huge deal, but I figured, hey why not install some of those lights, since they claim to be waterproof, back there so I can see while hooking stuff up. Shouldn't be too bad. I'll just wire it in with the bed lights, which should be real easy to do. They claim a 3/8" hole is big enough to mount one in so shouldn't be too hard. Hopefully this works out cause I don't believe Ive ever seen someone mount lights there

I figured these trucks would have footwell lighting. Our tahoe has them, among other courtesy lighting, and theyre really cool.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      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.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      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.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
