since i bought my denali till now i can see that gm could not solve the vibration issues,i drove 2 base yukons with 18" rims and non mrc shocks and the ride was perfect,so i was thinking if i can replace the mrc shocks to a normal shocks,do i need any modifications?

Maybe Norcal would know! Needs bypass wiring so it doesen't show on the gauge cluster. Somebodies got to make them!

What is so frustrating about this is that GM knows about the vibrations and frankly crappy ride at low to medium speed issues, and all it would take is new software calibration for the MRCs to (possible) cure the above.

WTH is taking them so long?

One would think with all the companies that have received license to use this tech...gmc...Ferrari...bently etc etc etc...

That someone would have a controller going out there...or at least would be able to point a direction to a tuner who could then through together a new algorithm or map for us land yachts...

I just disconnected mine, Ride is a little better but still sucks. It does come up
saying service suspension soon. 2015 Denali Xl, lowered 2/3 with spindles.

After running without the mrc shocks plug in, it would only
run 85 mph. plugged them back in and as fast as you wanted to go.
I bought new Suburban LS std. shocks, but need to get the right
ohm by-pass for the computer. Tried some bypass for a autoride system
up to 2014 but didn't work. Still said on the dash "Service Suspension"

Arnott Suspension has them for up to 2014. They said it might be a couple
of years before they have something that will work.

I would think Tony (Norcal) would have Bypass fix for replacing the MRC shocks

Ordered some 2 ohm 25 watt Resistors, will let you know if they work! The hard
Ride is driving me nuts.
