Just recently did my 2015 Sierra Denali with the suspension maxx kit. Had my dealer install kit, tires I brought, and aligned the front end for just over $500 parts and labor. Looks awesome and rides

Just for info....   This weekend, had dealer install 2.5" SuspensionMaxx front level and then new KO2 305/55/20. Running 39 psi front and 35 psi rear. Quiet on hwy and no rubbing. Not sure what the

Love the stance buddy. I have the same leveling kit. Went with 305 45 22 G2's.

I did have some rubbing... See picture... This happened when I would back up my driveway. Rubbing on the drivers side. I trimmed the plastic and tighten the screws (this weekend)... I haven't had any additional rubbing as of yet.

Which leveling kit?

Notice a difference in ride quality with front leveling kit?

 

And just to clearify. 2.5" front only?

Correct, 2.5" front only. I have not notices a ride difference and the G2's are surprisingly quite.

What tool/program is used for the mag ride relearn. And does anyone know the exact process for it. My dealer (well the one close to me) is trying to hit me for $180 and says it takes a few hours (NOT HAPPENING) but I just want to have some knowledge other than a quick process and people are seeing $45 charges.

What is in the relearn process?

You can buy a 2 1/2 level kit off of eBay for $25. Go to Lowes and buy a length of 3/16 steel rod. Cut 2 pieces 5 inches long, remove mag ride level sensor rod, it snaps right off. Pull end caps off and place on new rod, reinstall. I did this on my 2015 back in October 2014, works great. I just did it again on my new 2017. Don't waste $$$on a special kit with cheesy brackets. $28 for complete kit.

Which portion did you buy. The top of the coil or button? I would rather spend $69 from a reputable place with stronger metal than a Chinese leveling kit. Just my two cents. Didn't spend the money I did to go cheap

Lower spacer, machined out of aircraft aluminum in an american owned/operated machine shop in Georgia. Bolts/nuts/washers were manufactured in america also.

 

My total of $28 included everything need fo level 2017 Denali, this is my 4th Denali since 2015, all have been done this way and all had mag ride. The Denali I gave my Dad has 67,000 miles on it now, with no issues and it was leveled this way at 22 miles.

 

I don't buy items for name or status, just for function.

A little research and know how goes a long way and can save many $$$$.

That is why I was able to retire at 49.

Yes, I just checked. It was a rough country.

Hey D-dubs

Just checking, I ran this same question past you today on a separate thread and you had answered me with "ProRYDE" Just trying to clarify which 2.5 lift kit you used?

 

Thanks for helping clear up my confusion!

 

Cheers

Yes, sorry. I originally thought it was the rough country but I confirmed it was the ProRYDE. Sorry for the confusion!

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

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

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

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
