Do you still have the Denali?

No sold the Denali. Got sick of chasing the same issues in both the 08 and 09. Cracked dash(fixed twice), burning oil, rattles, etc. The 07-13s are problematic trucks and won’t buy another. Even though the new trucks direct injection is really loud I’m hoping they fixed some of the issues.

looks very fixable to me, all those parts can generally be found online (cheap repops)
It was a one owner nice truck. The right rear was pushed into the cab and the front left was pushed into the A pillar. No thanks! Don’t want that junk! Made some money off the deal. Going to try and find another Denali vs an SLT this time.

I got rid of both my 07 Denalis, got the wife a brand new vehicle to keep her happy, and I got a 14 Silverado, Its just got a plain jane 2wd, but its light years ahead of the nnbs.

Build plans?
Being my work truck not too much. De badge the tail gate and drive it. Took the 4x4 stickers off and polished the upper and lower grill. May look into the 16+ tail lights. Added my LED headlights to match the light bar behind the grill. I’ll have to order new fog lights. They didn’t survive the crash.

The Tahoe has been neglected and going to work on it soon. I keep saying that but it will get done. Ha!

I did clean it up and drive it to a car show. Happened to park by the Chevy guys.

I was going to delete the Autoride on the Suburban. Bought the parts and decided at the last minute to go back with Arnott replacement and new compressor. What’s an LTZ without the Z? That and they said I couldn’t pull a trailer converting to standard suspension. Being leveled up front and the rear air ride shot it rode bad and had Cali lean. Drove me crazy!

Before

After.
No lean. Well a little. Think I might play with the ride height sensors and try to get 1/2” of lift out of the rear.

916s look great. Like better than the Esky wheels.

What is happening with the NBS?

Thanks man! I totally agree on the 916s.

It’s never been fully detailed since the wife stopped using it as her daily. Probably going to look into new carpet, PDR and paint correction. Dial in the suspension a little more. Still doesn’t drive 100% like I want it to. Also never installed the nnbs brakes and ss brake lines.

Roger. I can’t recall if you had a build thread on the NBS or not? Blacked out and dropped right?

Yeah there is a build thread somewhere. I’ve kinda made this into my overall thread.

De badged the tailgate, cut off the resonator and dumped the exhaust. I’m not a fan of exhaust pipes.
