Nice truck....you have good taste :)

 

I also bought from Laura and couldn't have been any happier with the transaction. I live close enough that I just did a one way car rental and they picked me up at the Enterprise lot and I was on the road in a couple hours in my new truck. Nobody around here would touch their price.

I work about 10 minutes from Laura GMC if you're talking about the one in Collinsville, IL.

 

Nice truck!

Yes, the one in Collinsville. They beat everything local (Oklahoma City area) by $4,500.

Tasteful mods! Don't forget to remove the front airdam. Skip the boring tune and get a black bear tune. Leave the AcDelco filter in the stock box and just install the MIT intake tube.

Good to know. Seems like Laura's is a good spot to get a new truck unless you're looking to get top dollar for a trade. I'm going to consider making the drive down when I'm ready to get a new Denali.

Bought my 15 Denali from Laura as well. Same color as yours and everything lol. Just FYI, if you are going to do a leveling kit, be sure to make a spacer for the sensor that controls the magnetic ride control. If not, your truck will ride like a dump truck. Ask me how I know.

Yes, I plan to do the level and either a spacer or relocation bracket. Still trying to figure out which would be easiest/best. How did you do your spacer?

I just got a longer bolt and a nut, and some washers. Made about a 1" spacer by stacking the washers and wrapped electrical tape around them. Eventually I will cut and drill a piece of aluminum or SS stock and drill a hole in it to make a not ghetto spacer, but the reason I used washers is because I want sure where the factory "home" location for the rod was, so I started small and kept adding washers until it felt right. It would be easiest for you to just get a measurement of the position of the rod in the stock location, and return it there after you do the level.

 

Edit: I found this to be the easiest way to do it since all you have to do is unbolt the factory bracket from the UCA.

Nice truck, My family and I have purchased 6 GMC from Laura Buick in the past year. Love the dealership. My first truck I bought from them i sold locally with 20,000+ miles on my 2014 gmc for more than I paid for it.

I used Brandon Treat at Laura for my SLT. Worth the drive for me also.

Awesome, thanks! I believe that is the route I will take. Good idea on the pre-measurement.

I also bought my 6.2 from Laura. Great price and great deal. Wish I could say it was only a couple hours. Took almost several hours for them to get everything ready. We left and ate, drive a lifted new truck that they had and still waited a bit longer.

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      There are no stickers in your glovebox?

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
