Hey All,

 

Blk07Denali here and I'm fresh new to the game of trucks.  Been in the car scene for a long time, have a fully built 97 Camaro Z28 with a pristine 76k miles on it that I got back in 2005 with 68,200 miles.

 

Anyways my new vehicle is a 2007 GMC Sierra Denali that I picked up here locally from a dealer.  Has every option under the sun but no rear entertainment center or a backup camera.  Has 91k miles on it and is pretty pristine, paid $20,500 out the door, the dealer had safelite put in a new windshield that will carry for as long as I own the truck, fixed the rear parking assist and provided brand new OEM jack and spare tire tools.  The only things I've had to replace are the two auxillary ports up front (caps were broken off, $11.50 total off amazon), found a new OEM spare tire lock ($30), passenger side visor (ebay OEM GM replacement $82).  Already did my research on my interior mats, however I don't have the hooks in the carpet and it looks like the hooks were never there to begin with but the mats I got were the Husky Xact for the fronts and the Husky Weatherbeater full coverage for the rear.  My wife's parents also picked up the Husky under the rear seat storage unit (Anything Auto is offering 20% off everything with free shipping right now).

 

Just picked up the vehicle this past Wednesday but I test drove it three times between this past Monday and Tuesday.  First time was with myself, second time with my wife and the third time was to my local mechanic.

 

Some things the mechanic looked for:

 

- Motor Compression

- Leaks

- Second row we pulled the rubber plugs and ran a wire camera into the frame no signs of interior rust

- Pulled the DS rear 3 plugs in the wheel well found no rust of any kind or any dirt; I was told to keep these plugs undone from the wheel well, should I remove these plugs?

- Pulled the PS rear 3 plugs found some dirt and some light rust, should I remove these plugs?

- Checked all electrical systems

- Checked all fluids

- Put it on a lift to check for rust and found nothing

 

 

For the PS rear I was told to remove the taillight and spray a pressure washer into the access port with the 3 plugs undone and get all the chunk and dirt off, from there I'm planning on taking it to a body shop and having rest prevention sprayed into all the access ports and cavities.  The second process would a undercoating of the entire frame to seal in the frame and metal.

 

Let me know what you guys think!

anyone know how many cabin air sensors there are in these trucks?

 

my Denali manual said I have 2 sensors one above drivers side seat and then one in the rear above the second row seats?  I can’t seem to find the second one in the back, unless there isn’t one and im stupid haha!

 

thanks in advance!

You only have one in this vehicle. It's above the drivers seat. Most people mistake it for a speaker.
