Here we go. This is my first truck and my first build log. I plan to keep it updated and frequently reply to comments so your input is welcomed greatly!

Just a month ago I purchased my first truck and i decided to go with the 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali 6.2L. This build will be meticulous seeing that I want it to be and extremely clean build and possibly a quality show truck.

 

Lets get to the stuff you guys want( The goods/build plans ):

 

7" Lift - Full Throttle Suspension or McGaughy's

20x12 -44 Fuel Mavericks

35" or 37" Toyo Open Country MT's

LED Cubes Mounted in the Fog's

Grille Mounted 30" lightbar

Blacked Out Tailights

Blacked Out Headlights with RGB Halos and DRL's

Blacked Out Chrome ( Grille, Trim, ect.)

Denali Engraved on the Blinker

Roof Rack

Tuner

Air Intake

Tint

Exhaust

 

If i ever have enough money - Supercharger

 

I do get some shuttering in the steering wheel and see mostly when I'm cruising above 40mph. the RPM's jump up slightly when this occurs and i was wondering if anyone had any ideas of what this was or if GMC has fixed some of these problems because yes i have read a bunch of forums about such problems.

 

Anything I have for build parts listed above feel free to make suggestions and even help me add to the list! I want to communities input on my build.

Thanks so much!

 

Here's a few pictures of it now!

Had some free time this past weekend and an extra 30" light bar sitting around so I decided to go ahead and install it into the grille. I also removed the running boards and blacked out the mirrors and some of the chrome on the doors. Did some custom fab work and decided not to weld it into place due to the thickness of the cross-members in the grille.

Got my 2.5" front end leveling spacers in from Motofab and installed them myself. Took a lot longer than I thought it would to install but i got it done and i love it! Truck is at the shop currently getting an alignment and the magneride set to zero to accommodate the leveling kit. They are also checking on the shuttering I have been noticing. You ca also see in this picture the running boards removed!

      (Update lift problem)Dealer installed 2” lift question
      By Tattoo magic
      I have a 2022 Silverado 1500 four-wheel-drive. The dealer ordered the 2 inch lift kit they offer and I’m waiting for it to come in and have it installed. But I noticed that the kit doesn’t come with upper control arms. Is that going to be a problem?
       
      (***UPDATE*** )
       
      so I had the factory lift gm offers installed. When I picked it up, it looked great but as soon as I went to drive it off the lot. I could tell something was wrong it felt completely different. I figured it was just a break in period. But even after a day or two, I was getting crazy bad vibration at low speeds. Took it back. They ended up putting one of the U-bolts on wrong (I have pictures if wanted) they fix that and told me the vibration was gone. I get my keys go to drive away vibrations right back. I turn right back around. this time they have a mechanic ride with me. He clearly hears  an feels a vibration, says somethings wrong so we turned around and he takes it back in. Three hours later they bring my truck back they had to remove the back blocks said there was no taper to them and it was messing up drive line. I got it back and the vibration is still there. (Now annoyed that only the front is lifted and still vibrating). I have them take the whole lift kit off. Put it back to stock. (Now remind you my truck has been down and I’m missing work for 5 days at this point) And after that Whole ordeal, I was done with the truck since I couldn’t have it how I wanted it and decided to trade it in and they made me a good deal on a 2023 5.3 LT.z71
       
      I know many have gotten this lift installed said it worked out for some reason it did not for me. I’m much happier with the new truck.

      Driver's seat leaning to the left?
      By Jgardow92
      I have a 2022 trail boss lt that has about 6100 mile on it now. Bought it brand new in may 2022 and it seems like the drivers seat leans to the left towards the door. Almost feels like Im gonna fall out of it and no matter how I adjust it it seems the same. Visually it looks like it sits level and is fine. Is it possible something is broken inside like the frame? I would assume the frame would have to be sturdy. Is there any place that sell a better bottom cushion?

      Passive Entry Rear Handle
      By drmilesbennell
      Hey all,
       
      I have a 2022 Sierra SLT with passive entry locks on the front handles. Does anyone know if I can easily add passive entry locks to the rear handles? Acquiring the actual handles would not be the issue but I'm wondering if there is a harness (or whatever powers the front passive entry buttons) in the rear door to begin with. I know they come standard on Denali, so was thinking GM might just leave the wiring in the door for different trims but not include the passive handles all around. As I type this, though, I'm sure there's programming that needs to be done but figured it was worth a shot - because why not!
       
      Any help is appreciated, thanks!

      FS '18 Sierra OEM LED Taillights - Custom Painted!
      By youn1033
      or sale are my set of custom painted, OEM Sierra Denali LED Tail Lights. I had these painted to go on my truck and unfortunately they took so long I had to go a different direction before I got them back.. I have since moved up to a 3/4 diesel and am hoping these can find an owner who will appreciate the time, effort, and $$$ that went into creating them!
       
      These OEM LED Tail Lights are selling for $300 - $500 a piece online, and the cost to have these custom painted Mineral Metallic to match the Denali paint + the lens smoked (lightly, not enough to dim them when lit!) was $700 - looking to get $1,000 including shipping. Can cut a better deal if wanting to pick up in person in the Houston, TX area.
       
      Please reach out for additional pictures, questions, etc. I respond much quicker via text (405) 642-9097
       
      Thanks!
