sorry guys...left that part out.......yes the Rough Country kit

How does it ride? I hear mixed reviews of torquing the torsion bars. Obviously this is the least expensive option. Just wondering if people specifically don’t recommend this route

My truck was only 1 and 1/4” higher in the rear than the front, stock. I kept mine pretty simple, I dialed in an inch on the front. That took out most of the rake. But didn’t put it dead level.

Does anyone know if the rc 3+1 fits on the 2020 2500 Denali? On rc website it says it doesn’t work with magnetic ride. Now I know the new Denali has the adaptive ride control that ISNT magnetic bit wondering if the the ARC has components that the rc also won’t work with. Any thoughts? Rc Customer service isn’t helpful

Read back through. No Magnaride. I was given misinformation also and RC thought all denali had it. Check your build code sheet if you had it it would say it. Most If not all 2500s Denali have Z71  package

I thought all the Denali had the new system that isn’t magnetic. Rc customer service just keeps sending me the note that “doesn’t work with magnetic ride control or rear overload”

I get a slight rub when backing up with steering turned. It rubs the liner material inside the wheel well, but I think it can be easily fixed as the liner has some play and I should be able to somehow move it away a couple of inches.....I just need to investigate more to see how I would fasten it to keep it back to where the tire clears.

Looks really good. I’m surprised the tires aren’t poking out more though. I have same size wheel but kept factory size tire (I’m running Terra Grapplers now too).    Can’t wait for bushwhacker or whoever to come out with a fender flare to help keep the road splatter down.

on gm website for 2020 2500ds it shows height of at4 and Denali as the same. I know the 1500 at4 has a factory lift. Some pics look like 2500 at4 is taller than Denali. Anyone know for sure?

No factory lift on the HD’s

Anyone have recommendations for a small lift/level for the 2020 Denali HD? I like the rc 3/1, but they say can’t go on magnaride. Trying not to go to 4” lift. Any recommendations?

Go to you dealer service department and ask them to check to see if you have magnaride. If they say no then contact RC and tell them what you think of them. Did you read the press release  posted earlier on this thread?

Thanks @Big Skini did read that. I guess what it comes down to is will any lift or level mess with the new ARC. I’m not knowledgeable about magnetic and what components the lift messed with. My concern was that the lift would mess with arc as well. All the pics and guys talking are of at4 so wanting to confirm everything for Denali. Or see if there is another better option that’s not a multi thousand $ lift....

I will know for sure next Tuesday as I have made an appointment for the RC 3 + 1 leveling kit. If they can do it than great if not than they will just do keys. Either way I will know Tuesday if my 2020 Sierra 2500 Denali can have the 3 + 1. they said $1320.00 out the door for the kit and labor.

@Big SkinNice! Let me know how It goes. Is dealer doing it or local shop? What size tires you going with?

A dealer about 45 minutes from me has its own aftermarket shop so I will get them to do it so if they mess something up I will have more leverage to get them to resolve the issue.

 

I can't believe how much of a pain in the butt it has been to get accurate information on my truck even with the build sheet. I am really reluctant to let them do the work because they are the ones that said I had magnaride and put my plans to level the truck and have 22" chrome contras with 35-12.5-r22 Nitto Trial Grapplers put on. I would have gotten a $1000 trade in credit for the stock wheels and tires if they had not said I could only do keys at first. Because I thought I could not get the kit with the arms I canceled my plans only to later be told by the dealer closest to me that I never had magnaride. As for wheels and tires I will just wear the stock tires out and then get something I want.

 

On a side note I got the same misinformation about our denalis having (ANC) active noise canceling. I was told we have it and then I was told by another source that they no longer have it. This is important if you plan on adding a amplifier and subwoofers to your stock Bose system. If you have ANC you will get feedback as the ANC tries to counteract the additional sound (noise). I spoke to a guy that makes a harness that circumvents the ANC on GM vehicles and he said I don't need one because GM stopped putting them in the sierra 2500hd denali after the 2019s. So I have a harness coming to plug and play with the wires I need to add the amp and subs attached. This way I can just return to the stock setup easy if it gives me any trouble or when I go the sale it. Even though I could and I have a diagram sheet that gives me the info on where to tap into I don't want to tap into any wires that would for sure void the Bose system warranty. This has been unreal to say the least.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB - 20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!

      Navigating senior years.

      By garagerog · Posted

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
