New member, fist post.  1 month now on my 2024 Denali Reserve.  Came from a Tacoma and what a huge difference.  I do miss my manual transmission from time to time but this truck is beautiful all around.

Put the 20” Sierra rims on my truck - now with black bow ties. Got my console swap done as well. 20s suit this body style well!

Picked up a 24 LT last week and absolutely love it. It's my 3rd Silverado and by far my favorite. (19 Custom, 21 RST and now this 24) Have already started with the mods and have an appointment to wrap the chrome and get a small lift installed in a couple weeks.

Took 5100s off and put on Fox's and Dirt King upper arms

I really liked my DK UCAs that I had.

 

How do the Fox 2.5" coilovers ride? Worth the money in your opinion? Contemplating a BDS lift with them and I'm wondering what to expect vs going with some 2" replacement shocks.

I liked the 5100's, but I love the Fox's. The DCA's help a ton. im on 2 clicks in on both high and low speed and it rides great on the street. Have not had a chance to get out and play yet in the dirt. But street wise its soft than the 5100's but still settles quick like they did. I barely have any preload on them, so im sure thats helping also.

Appreciate the input and I'm glad you compared them to the 5100s. I have ran the 5100s on several previous HDs and on my current HD and current 1/2 ton and I have always thought they were a little too stiff.

 

I think I'm gonna bite the bullet and give the Fox 2.5s a shot! I shouldn't have much preload on them as well since they will be going on an AT4 and set at 1.5" of lift. Realistically my truck is 90% highway miles (drive a ton for work) and 10% offroad so I'm glad to hear you like the street ride of the Fox coilovers.

I wanted to send a thanks to the forum given all the great information and conversations to research before sealing the deal on a new GMC.  From start to finish it took me about 2 1/2 months to order and receive my new truck.

2024 Denali with the Reserve Pkg, Atmosphere Brownstone Interior, Towing Mirrors, and the 6.2.

Great experience with my dealer through the ordering and waiting process and very happy with the build quality and attention to detail.  Only 130 miles as of today, but off to a great start.

Fairly new here. Originally had a 2020 Custom TB double cab used with 70k miles but figured if I'm making payments on something it might as well be something I really want. Now 7 months with a new 2023 crew cab RST Z71 (5.3l), but boy do I miss that longer bed on the double cabs. Great daily driver. Only done the exhaust, tint, lowering kit, and wheels. Looking into a sound system next, lots of ideas on here already I'm looking forward to seeing more setups.

    • 87 down as low as $5.14 here... winning!
    • Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.
