Sorry to bring this one back from the dead. I’m curious if those with a 3500 gmc Denali could give an exact measurement and clearance to their doors?  At my lowest point I’m at 82.5” on my door.

My local dealer didn't have any 3500HD models in stock, so I brought a 2500HD home to check for garage fit.  (See my pics in an earlier post in this same thread.)  For all practical purposes, the max

Here is a 2500HD AT4 with 20" wheels that I borrowed from my dealer to check for fit.  I have just enough clearance to give me confidence that the 3500HD AT4 I have on order will fit.  ?  My 2015 2500

Just for your reference. The shark fin is not the highest point on these trucks. There are 2 extruded ridges on the roof that are just behind where the sunroof is. The highest point on those ridges is

I have a 2021 3500hd SLT CCLB SRW gas with x31 and 18 inch wheels with stock Michelin tires. My understanding is there is no suspension difference between my truck and a Denali. 
 

I measured the high point of the cab at 78 and 3/4 inches just now, but that is with a popup camper installed. When I load the camper, it drops the rear fender well height by 2 inches and drops the front less than 1/4 inch (I measured when I first installed it). Since the high point if the cab is midway between the axles, it would be 1 inch higher without the camper, or 79 and 3/4 inches. Based in this you should be fine even if you have the 20 inch wheels and stock tires, which would make the truck 1/2 inch taller.

All duallies are long beds. 

 

I screwed up, but the DRW is still (a little) shorter than the srw long bed (or the data table was revised?)

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
