Bombsquads 05 Denali build..... sorta

[adventurenali92]

It was awesome. Soap was so thick I could see the dust and pollen (no dirt I washed it a few days ago) slide right off. I will definitely be using this a lot more. I only ordered the 16oz bottle of soap cus I wasnt sure if I'd like it but I will be ordering the gallon. I got the honeydew soap

Yeah I buy it by the gallon from them. Haha. I like the honeydew but I also really like the watermelon snowfoam soap as well!

Thanks ma . I'm over all pretty happy with the truck. Now if only I could figure it why the CEL came back on for the knock sensors.... i just did this job

Did you use AC Delco sensors? If not, that’s most likely the problem. There’s been a lot of failures on the aftermarket ones.

I did. Ac delco sensors, felpro gaskets. I'm thinking it's the harness I didnt go with OEM I think I went with dorman

I used the Dorman harness without problems, haven’t heard of any issues with those.

I'm not sure what it could be. I did the TSB with building a dam and used what I thought was good parts. Torqued everything to spec.

It wouldn't be a big deal if the install wasnt so damn lengthy

Yeah, those are buried pretty deep. Damn.

Changed out my front Wiper fluid motor. While the truck was up (had to lift the truck to get access to the motor) I took the time to grease the tierods and ball joints and found this....

Looks like I need to get a new axle and possible another control arm.

Does moog have a warranty? Or does it matter if I have ac delco on one side and moog on the other?

Anything else on this?

Shouldn’t matter if you replaced one side or both. Check their website for warranty info. And what about your knock sensor problem?

 

[Rocket Man]

I decided out of curiosity to check Moog’s warranty. It’s complicated tbh. Their premium line is guaranteed for life for non-commercial applications but you have to go through the supplier you bought it from, so you’re at their mercy. Their cheaper line which is made in Taiwan in order to compete with the lowball parts have 3 years 36,000 miles.

Thanks I got all the suspension from amazon

Light comes and goes as it pleases lol I dont want to take it all apart again just to find out nothing's wrong. And j dont want to buy replacement parts if I dont know what's wrong

 

[Bombsquad85]

Anything else on this?

No I wish. It's the same code as the first time. I probably should pull the intake manifold. It's just so much work and if I find a problem j have to put it all back together, order parts then take it apart again

So 8 month update. Not much has changed. I recently did my plugs and wires, that was a pain. But I'm planning on redoing my interior soon. Any ideas on the best places to get replacement leather for all 3 rows (or at least the first 2 rows)

Also recommendations for carpet

Katzkin for leather if you can find a kit on EBay or online. I just did my 08 Silverado for $575 total. For carpet www.ocautocarpets.com or www.stockinteriors.com they both sell the same product, ACC is the manufacturer. I’ve used ACC carpet in both my trucks and they fit great.

 

[Fosscore]

Agreed stockinteriors.com is what I used. Make sure and get a heavy duty pair of scissors/shears to cut through that jute backing as well.

 

[Bombsquad85]

Thanks guys

 

[Bombsquad85]

So update. Interior is on hold should be closing on my house at the end of the month.

What I did have done is I had my stock cats removed and I must say it sounds great and it feels like the truck is a little more alive.

I do currently have a CEL for P0102 and I'm currently trying to figure that out.
