Hey guys so I did a 2019 Frontend Conversion to my 2015 Denali, with the Ram-Air style hood..... But trying to find a wire harness that converts from 2015 to the new lights, well that's easier said then done. So I was given this site by a friend that did this conversion to his truck.... I highly recommend this site, as they use GM plugs & the wires are all as good or better than stock..... Nothing wrong with that in my book. Check them out, they have E-mail if u have any questions & in my experience they get back to u in like an hour or less...... These harness are truly "Plug & Play". No cutting any wires, no guess work, all that is done for u.... They have the schematics for all the years & work off of them to make sure everything is correct.... Plus they check everyone before shipment..... Pic of my Denali, before & after. Their website also include.

Looks great, is the hood aftermarket or gm part?

The hood is ?% GMC, it's the same hood that is on the newer 2500/3500 with the Duramax motor.... But because the trucks & or body is exactly the same, u can swap body parts..... So u can get the hood, duct work & hinges, which you'll def need. As our stock hoods are aluminum, and the diesel models or the ones with the Duramax Motors are a steel Hood therefore they are heavier so you need the heavier Springs.

I really want to swap my 2017 SLT 6.2L hood for the ram-air hood to help with the supercharger heat, but I read that it's not as easy as just new springs and a new hood. Is that really all it took for you?

I'm kind of feeling like I should call BS on this one =)

"Jay's Denali" please tell me I'm wrong.

Ok guys couple of things, one I didn't do the work myself, a body shop did it, but I was there when they did the hood, yes its exactly the same size as the stock hood, u do have to change the hinges to the 2500/3500 ones.... I will be more than happy to take pics of them tomorrow, as I'm in Connecticut & its almost 9:50 p.m. here.... I do not have a supercharger yet, but with the now extra room it should fit just fine...... And yes my truck is a 2015.5 Denali, with the "Newer Style Front-End" conversion. And yes the headlights bumper, etc, was an exact fit...... And again if u all would like pics of the truck in diff areas that I didn't do, just ask & as far as the parts/cost, I've got a copy of the bosyshop parts from the insurance company, so it's got not just cost of parts, but labor & part #'s..... Hope this helps to clear up any & all questions. And trust me I get compliments almost everyday I drive my truck, which is a very good feeling..... Now as far as the "Chevy Brother" truck, I don't believe it's as easy as GMC.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
