Hey Guys,

New to the forum, and glad to be finally back into a truck after a few years.  So I just recently purchased a used 2015 denali 6.2 with 55k miles, and the previous owner installed a leveling kit.  Now the problem is that they did not install a relocation bracket for the magneride sensor.  I noticed that it seemed to ride rougher than my dads non denali and so I started doing more research on here and other places.  I had heard that if you didn't want to go the bracket route, you could have the dealer reset the shocks to zero in the computer so the truck knows its level.  Since I had just bought it a little over two weeks ago, I figured I would just take it back to the dealer and make them do it.  When I got there and meet with the suspension guy, he said hes done over 100 leveling kits, and hes's never had to put a bracket in there.  So he said he wanted to check the shocks to see if they were ok, and once he got it up on the lift, he then noticed that they were leaking and would need to be replaced.  He drove it and agreed that the ride was really stiff and said with the new shocks the ride should be 20x's better than before.  Since I didnt have to pay for anything I said absolutely, go ahead and replace the front struts.

 

Long story short, got the truck back, and yes the ride is definitely better, but it still feels fairly stiff.  So I was hoping that if someone on here had the brackets on their's they could hook me up with some dimensions and I could just make some of my own.  I called suspension maxx, but they told me they could only sell me the brackets if I had some sort of proof of purchase, but of course I don't because the previous owner is the one who purchased it.  

 

I appreciate any help or advice in advanced.

 

Thanks, Adam

Hey Adam,

 

I have a set of suspension maxx brackets that I'll measure up in the morning.

Hope this helps. Depending on your lift height, that will tell you which holes you need to put in. 7c7f1fbaa344252cb4c1fd5eb6094c86.jpg

It looks like the m6 hole is 1" up and then the two bottom holes would be at .5 is that correct?  And again thank you for taking the time to measure it all up.

Good evening. I just installed a 3” front leveling kit and 2” rear leveling kit on my 2017 Denali. I installed a relocation bracket for the MagnaRide, but I don’t think the spacing was enough for a 3”. My truck is riding extremely rough/bouncy. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Did you have any luck softening up the ride with 3" front and 2"  rear leveling setup?  I am thinking of doing the same to 2016 suburban ltz.  Any advice is appreciated.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB 20-NA-166 -  20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
