I not finding the vinyl flooring option on 1500 SLE -- but of course I could be looking the wrong place in the guide.

My 2016 Denali 2500. Waiting for my 2018 Denali 3500 SRW in Frost White on order. Can't wait to post those pics.

Looks like a big trailer. I can understand you stepping up to the 3500. Will likely do the same at some point.

He will gain overload springs and a door sticker that has a higher load rating while loosing his 20in. wheels.

 

A 2500+3500 SRW don't have much difference.

 

I find the 3500 to be a no brainier unless you want the factory 20's and don't want to swap them out.

I’ve oft wondered what the actual differences are. There’s like an 1300 lb increase in carrying capacity, from 2200 to 3500+. It’s crazy. Got to be more than just the overload springs. Im guessing the general leaf springs and rear axle components, if not some frame differences.

Anyway. Whatever. I’ll use it to sell myself on an upgrade at some point. [emoji1]

Same leaf pack minus the over loads that sit on top of the leaf pack, same AAM axle, same frame.

 

No price difference.

The rear axle is different between a 2500hd and 3500srw...in a 6.0l truck anyway.

If you're asking me - yes. I have a 1500 with tons of goodies. Upgrading to a 2500 with less goodies, but still like the SLE trim.

 

Love the pics everyone!

Yes I am aware as I own a 6.0 3500 SRW, the poster in question has a Duramax and I am going to go out on a limb and assume he ordered his new 3500 with a Duramax as well meaning that both trucks share the same frame, axle, and leaf spring pack minus the overloads that are added to the top of the pack although they make no difference untill the truck squats 2-3in.

The tires on those 20s in the picture are BFG AT2s and are a 124/127 rated tire. Same tire rating as the 3500. I’m keeping my BFGs and 20s and putting them in my 3500. Stock 20” tires are a 121 rating but the AT2s are 124 so they should work no problem on the 3500.

 

Ive read expensively on it and shouldn’t be an issue at all so long as the tire is 124 load rating

 

Note: stock tires are both “E” load range but my understanding is the number that comes after it specifies the tires actual load capacity

I would do the same, keep your good looking 20's and BFG's to put on new truck.

It gets worse, wait till you load it down.

 

Look at all the money you saved though.

I might do a programmer and see if it helps, truck struggled a little on the hills and camper is only 8500lbs. Only plus is i think my mpg was similar between e85 and 87oct. Just need a bigger tank, fuel range of 350 miles ouch

Programmer won't do much.. Do a custom tune. Try to find a good local tuner. These 6.0s drive so much better with a mild tune. The towing is excellent as well.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w
