Getting rid of magmatic shocks

[Fifty]

is there a way to get rid of the magnetic shocks with out throwing a code?
I really feel like this 15 has tuning that works nowhere.

I rode in a Cadillac and it was smooth as silk even though it was on 22's. I have 20's.

I'd drop the money on some nice icons or fix or kings if they were available. Im sick of this choppy on the street, horrific on the dirt, never happy no matter the load, seemingly under dampened ride this Denali XL has...

4wd Yukon Denali xl 2015....

I can direct the right application just need to know what lift etc.

Id like to go no more than 3-4 inches max, and thats only if it is needed to run certain damper/spring combo's. (I dont think the stock wheel well holds more than a 35 inch tire?) I would love to run a dual rate 2.5 or 3 inch body remote reservoir front and rear. Something that can handle some heat and control the truck and wheel on fast dirt roads, as well as articulating broken roads when going ghost town exploring. I used to run ADS dual rates on my old superduty and those never had a problem with heat. I had a set of big bilsteins and would cook them. Granted they were just fine for street, they really couldnt keep up when cruising old fire roads and access roads with these heavy trucks.

I would love some extra droop, and full stock tuck if I am going to tlift it. Why bother getting extra height if you dont gain travel.

Do you have something that will trick the computer into not throwing codes?

Sounds like you need a mid travel kit. Those kits can be pricey. Anything for a truck front end will work. The rear will take some working with custom tubular trailing arms to match front mid travel. Could run stock arms with longer springs and good shocks.

To trick the computer you will need this kit. Should work on newer models.

Just sent them an email to see if it work with a 15...

 

[Fifty]

They say it won't work.

 

[01Konvict]

Tell them to design one. Other way is secure each rod stationery then use a resistor to bypass computer lights

 

[Fifty]

Lol. I'm sure they will get right on that because of me.

 

[01Konvict]

Never know they might do it since they already have one made from 07-14. The shop is about 45 mins from the house. They told me to bring my Denali down if I wanted to test the module. Seems to be a pretty cool company.

Going to bump this. Anyone hear of anything new for a 15+ magnetic shock delete?

I have talked to one aftermarket shop that had a guy do it. He built a harness that tied into every system that was somehow tied into the magneride. The guy wanted $1500.00 to duplicate the harness. I also spoke to the dealership I got my Yukon from, who also performs aftermarket lifts. The service guy said they could eliminate it by 'tuning' out the magneride from various parts of the ECU. Basically regressing the vehicle to a non magneride ECU. I haven't heard anything outside of this. I can't vouch for any of this stuff either as it's all hearsay, meaning, I haven't seen it personally.

I’ve heard about flashing the BCM and ECU but it was older models for the 00-06. Basically taking that portion of the system out so the computer doesn’t look for a signal while retaining all other functions.

I’d be happy to regress the computer to eliminate the mrc.

Then I’d buy a set of 3.0 dual rate kings with a 2-3 inch lift.
Happily.
With joy.
And a big smile.

I have to agree with you, Fifty. Nothing too impressive about the ride quality of the denali XL. I sware my ‘17 RAM 1500 truck I drive for work rides just as good (maybe better) than my wifes denali. I kinda always blamed it on the 22’s...

 

[olyelr]

Without tricking the computr somehow, would there be any more issues other than some lights on the dash?

 

[Fifty]

Speed limited to 60 or 65mph I think

 

[gat0r]

^ someone else had posted 80-85 max

 

[Fifty]

You are probably right. I was trying to remember.

I've got a 2015 Tahoe LTZ with MagnaRide and a 3" Rough Country Lift and 305/55/20's.
Rides like a horse and buggy......did so before the lift, so its not ALL in the lift.

Most of the problem is in the rear. Going over speed bumps and you'd think there are no shocks back there. It comes over speed bumps and its stiff as a board. Front is not bad. The control arms are all compensated and the ECM was flashed after installation.

I hate the fact that this truck has such an advanced suspension system, but sucks ass in operation. I wish there was a way to tune it with an in cab dial or something. I am not fond of the idea of removing a feature that the LTZ came with that ultimately was part of the inflated option package, but man, not much other choice.

What makes it even worse is that its my wife's truck and I hear her complain about it every time we are together in it. My F150 rides better than hers and it drives her crazy. I try to get her to sell it, but she loves everything about it except the rear suspension. I like it alot.....its a sharp ass SUV, but man it doesn't ride so sharp at all. For what these things cost, they should feel like they float on a cushion of air.

Someone should come out with an aftermarket MagnaRide Programmer for these things.

@00Bullitt

someone is supposedly working on a way to retune the MRC.

have a question though... MRC is front only, so why is ride in rear so rough on yours?
i guess you removed autoride?
what is in the 3" RC kit? need diff shocks?
