I'm considering buying a 2017 Denali with 18k miles on it. The truck checks every box. My Only hesitation is that the previous owner installed a 2500w Cobra inverter and a 110 outlet in the bedside towards the tailgate. I'm curious if I should have any concerns about the mod. The install looks professional, and now that I think about it, it would be pretty convenient. It seems like the 110 in the console is pretty worthless from what I've read. Thoughts?

It absolutely looks professionally installed, I’d say your good. But I would agree to check and make sure it’s fused appropriately.

I agree on making sure it's fused properly. From the looks of it, it seems as though the second battery was added just for the converter and it is a very clean install. Either he himself does nice work or he paid a pretty penny to have it done. Either way, clean install and I too wouldn't mind having one of those in my bed. I rarely use the one inside

Thanks for the input guys. I decided to pull the trigger and I fly out in the morning to pick the truck up. I'm joining the club after selling my 08 Z06 a month ago. Hopefully the 6.2 with 3.42 helps make the transition less painful than other trucks.

Gear swap?  8-speed 6.2 Denali is 3.23 only from the factory.

For since reason I thought they could come with the 3.42. Guess I was wrong. Oh well.

I was looking all around and seems like a 2017 Ultimate with 20k miles, one owner, clean history is $42-44k. 

Yikes.  New '18 Ultimates in December (with all of the incentives) could be had for around 48k.  I am normally a used buyer but these used prices drove me into a new truck!

Not sure about the Denali, but all of the 6.2 8 speed max tow's either Chevy or GMC have a 3.42. Just hard to find a used max tow with a 6.2. Only the max tow has that gearset. The 14's with the 6 speed had 3.73's. Max tow is not just the "tow package" either it is the maximum tow package. I have a 6.2 with an 8 speed with the plug and play tow package, but not the max. They are out there though.

NHT is not available on the Denali, hence my statement stands.

Thanks for the correction. So NHT is only available on one trim level of GMC trucks? I know on the Chevy's it's the ltz/HC only.

SLT for sure and I believe the SLE as well (I was never in the market for the SLE so I never did any research on it).

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
