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.

Finally got it done, so far still have to get rocklights and alarm on it but will be done this week, on 28x16 with 40s drives smooth but it is heavy 😂 air bags all replaced looks like it just came off the lot IMG_0370.thumb.jpeg.76afae706304051b4ca33a136a205c3e.jpeg

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.

    • So, do I go elbow-deep on this thing or list it for sale and play dumb? Seems to "runs good."   I'm about $1200 away from having: -a rebuilt injector ($300) -a new cat ($250) -a new cat back exhaust (OE style) ($300) -a new AC compressor ($200) -AC refrigerant charge ($150)   In theory, this should rectify the obvious detracting issues from its value and operability. Cold AC with a non-squeaking AC pulley both sounds and feels good. An exhaust that isn't cut/hacked in 17 different places and doesn't vibrate on a crossmember would make it sound and feel less janky. A working cat would help the stink, and will save the earth, but *if and only if* the fuel system is working properly, which would also address the intermittent "rich" CEL.   Heard a good one... CEL for "Rich condition" means you haven't spent enough money on the truck lately, and it's letting you know.   Rebuilding the injector would seem to be the most important part. Replacing the cat would be secondary. I don't think mine is plugged or overly restricted, but it might be a little restricted? I have no good way to tell other than seat of the pants feel. I hate the smell.   The current theory is I have a rich idle problem: A bad fuel pressure regulator, or a leaking injector(s) being the highest probabilities. I already replaced the FPR but that doesn't mean its replacement isn't also bad. It was a new part from Dorman, but the packaging looked like it had been sitting on a shelf for 20 years.   This is the (single) upstream O2 sensor shown at idle. I'm getting a lot of "rich" it seems. Sometimes it stays high like that and doesn't drop down. That makes me think it's processing injector leaks or a partially stuck open injector.     Other times it looks like this. Nice oscillations between rich and lean, which is what I think it should be. Under load and at speed, the oscillations are nice and tight and uniform looking, high and low.     Fuel trims suggest the PCM is compensating pretty hard at idle to pull fuel out. But it's not enough to trip a CEL. Something about slowing to a stop: brake vaccum booster, EGR, or the EVAP purge is delayed, or there's pooled fuel in the intake again that's draining into a cylinder is enough to set the CEL. Of course, in two days of driving, it hasn't set. I was hoping to actually look at the freeze-frame data when it sets. IAT is high because it's idling on an 83 degree day here.  
    • Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?  
    • Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.  
    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
