My 17 Denali HD. Leveled on 35's. Magnum LoPro rack. Some chome deleted and the rest going to paint match. Just finished a ceramic coat on the paint and waiting on my running boards to come back from line-x and ill post new photos. Super stoked on it so far!

Thanks. The wheels themselves are about perfectly flush. Just a few mm further than the common +18 size, but alot more room on the inside. With the 12.50 tires they sit just outside fender, 1 to 2 inches max. Ill grab a pic for you. I trimmed based on what i read on the forum but wasnt necessary after all. No rubbing at all

Nice. I'm getting new rims soon, and I had it narrowed down to a +18 or a +20....until I saw yours. My tires are only 285mm wide, so I'm hoping those +6 rims would keep them about flush with the fenders. I drive crappy country roads every day, and I don't want my tires sticking outside the fenders.Thanks in advance for the pics!

Sweet ride! What's your wheel & tire setup?

Truck looks great. I still hate those DEF tanks though. I thought mine on my '16 was bad, but these new tanks are just plain whacko. How did they ever get that through their design departments???

Right?!? Such a bummer. Im not going to rip it all out quite yet. But I am just waiting on my running boards to come back from line-x so I can hide that bad boy again...

The running boards help. I even considered going the rocker pod route, but I don't think they make them to fit the DEF tank equipped trucks. Or at least not the '15+ models.

Came from a 2014 Silverado 1500 LT, this past weekend I picked up a 2015 Silverado 2500 LTZ with the 6.6 and 4wd. Used with 94k miles, but I had a diesel mechanic friend look, and he said looks like it had been babied, just driven daily. I like this truck a lot!c9a900c64cd04d4701f4a98c39a4c3bd.jpg0e894973dd3055b69f30be9d672e5048.jpgfb97ca6fb665c3d4df8a300f087c7e90.jpg

    • 87 down as low as $5.14 here... winning!
    • Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.

    • It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.
