That's not 2wd, are you sure? It is a Texas truck, I thought they all were 2wd unless you special ordered down here...

Are you really asking that? Hope that is just a joke.

I was thinking the same thing. It's more like the other way around - most are 4wd and 2wd are more rare.

Yes! It's 4wd. I didn't special order, I was with a friend and asked if they had any Denali's in and he made some calls and said it just landed off truck and make-ready. I bought it :)

For sure. Most are 4wd but my bigger point to be made is that the question is implying that the buyer might not know if he purchased a 2wd or a 4wd, a bit insulting imo.

    • That's not what I was talking about.   I have not seen it specifically documented that bottom of the hatched area equates to "1 quart low".    I've never measured or compared a dipstick reading at the bottom of the acceptable range, added 1 quart, took a new reading and it be exactly at the top of the range.   My view of the manual is if it is BELOW the mark, add one quart at a time until the level is within the hatched area, 1 quart could put it 1/4, 1/3, 1/2 all the way there. I don't know, none of mine have been BELOW the mark to require adding any to find out.   However, if over 400 miles it takes multiple quarts to keep it in the hatched area, yes, that is a problem.   EDIT: None of my vehicles have ever been to the bottom of the range, every check shows them give or take somewhere on the top half of range. (I might even challenge my own memory and say at worst the top 3/4s.)   Never to the bottom, much less below the "add" mark, so I've never added 1 quart to see how much it moves the level up the stick. Circling back to my point, the volume coming out is less than what everyone suggests my dipstick readings should be indicating.    If from the top to bottom mark of the hatched area equates to 1 quart of oil, I would see the dipstick reading (on every vehicle I've touched in the last 30 years) be at the top of the mark when I fill with new oil and be at the bottom just prior to changing; based on what I am measuring in the drain pan. However, the dipstick readings are NOT showing that amount of drop. See above.
    • Anyone have any experience with adding the autosense module to a high trim suburban/tahoe?    2026 Chevy Suburban High Country - Did not have the "tech pkg" but does have the High Country Deluxe pkg. Absolutely wild this is not a standard feature.    OEM route - if it's already a powered hatch, has anyone tried to install the module for the hands free and tried to get GM to reprogram the BCM?    Aftermarket route - if OEM is impossible or too much of hassle, does anyone have any experience with aftermarket hands free sensor options?     I know Ensight Automotive does the conversions, and I've read a little about ISS Automotive. Any experience with these options/vendors?
    • I purchased these two 6 quart boxes of Mobil 1 Synthetic LV ATF HP for my 2018 GMC Sierra with the intent to change the fluid, but I never got a chance as I sold the truck in 2021.  Both boxes have been in my garage ever since and are new and have not been opened.  Asking $50 for local pickup/meet in the Western PA area.  I can probably ship, but that would be at the buyer's expense.    
    • Unfortunately the most I can speak to how everything was reassembled is that I have used Joe quite a bit and he's always proven knowledgable, capable and honest. As to individual things he did I just can't say. I do know that he was under a time crunch to get all of this done and personally if I were in that situation I know I would be more susceptible to making minor mistakes. Though he did tell me he took the truck on an extended test drive after buttoning everything up and it did not throw a code for him.   With everything I know about the situation and as a layman, if I had to hazard a guess I'd say there's a non-trivial chance something minor that was overlooked. I was kind of hoping to narrow it down to a smaller subset of possibilities so I could have a more useful conversation with him.   A DOD-delete cam did come with the kit and the pictures Joe provided of the job indicate it was installed.   To my knowledge all O2 sensors are OEM. I purchased the truck at 75k miles about a year ago and the sensors were never replaced under my ownership.   On the intake gaskets, I supplied the parts and I did specifically purchase and give Joe all new gaskets to install. Anything that was indicated to be one time use, I purchased a new one of and supplied to him.
    • Double trust, huh?   I hear ya.   Side note, one can get trust off the internet. I belong to a Pontiac message board such as this. I sold a complete  running Pontiac 455 that I built in the late `80`s. Most won`t touch a complete engine. Especially an older one. The dude offered me $500 more than I was asking. He paid the truck freight to Lubbock TX. All I did was build a crate for it.   I told the dude he was ballsy. He says, "I trust you".
