Installed these in my Denali the other day. Helped the ride up front
I've never seen ones from Belltech. I installed new OEM ones to replace mine which were really shot and it seemed my front raised back up 1/2" or so which I didn't want. Those look shorter than the stockers?Installed these in my Denali the other day. Helped the ride up front

Yeah they are shorter. I had my OEM ones drilled out and then came across a post that a guy used these. They are perfect. Just barely touch at rest. You just knife the back to peel the mount out then pop them in. They are the same diameter and everything
Damn. Wish I hadn't just spent money for OEM's! Might just buy these anyway.
Well I decided to cut 1/2" from my OEM front bumpstops in order to save the $30 those Belltech ones would cost me. Then I installed the KYB steering stabilizer I bought. Steering seems more solid now. I recommend this to anyone with big wheels or tires. Front suspension seems a tiny bit better now too.

Good call. Better install a second bolt in that hole on the bracket though
Done, that was the skid plate bolt. I had just pulled it before reinstalling . Unlike yours though, my skid plate bolt had threads so I didn't need a nut on the other end. Thanks for your help @pnwdan, I probably wouldn't have ordered the stabilizer if you hadn't let me know it works on the Denalis.

Finally installed new head unit so I can listen to music on the phone or iPod. Bluetooth is nice, too. Got the whole thing from Crutchfield and once again I'm impressed with their customer service and tech support.
About the only thing I didn' t like about this install was having to take a Sawzall to the brackets behind the factory stereo. No going back now!
I thought about running the Bluetooth mic up into the headliner but I decided it would be simpler and cleaner to put it on top of the steering column which is where it was on my last vehicle. It's kind of blocking my view of the DIC now so I may move it over to one side or the other.
Full steering wheel controls are nice, but now I wish I'd reprogrammed the OnStar button before I bolted everything back in (the steering wheel control module gets crammed behind the head unit so the only way I can get to it now is to unbolt the head unit and pull it out.)

Gave her a bath and put on the Escalade rear appliques. Just plastidipped them black for now. May color match them later.

What kind of module did you use for your steering wheel. Putting in a new radio soon want to keep them but also reprogram my onstar. Looks good btw

Put some gas in her for less than a cent a gallon for 93 octane... Highly recommend joining Shell fuel rewards program.

That sucks! Still waiting for my 65 to bite it with 180k but still going somehow. Did you have any major power adders that may have shortened the lifespan?Smoked the 4L60 today. Pullin it out next week to have it rebuilt stronger and 6.0 liter ready. 134.000 rebuilt under warranty at 20,000.

I'm used to that as well... Nice to have a little break every once in a while
No major mods, basically intake and exhaust.
Last week I changed the shift programming for +5 mph and have been racing around on a tank of 100 octane. Probably didn't help the tranny but catalytic code(p0420) stopped coming up!
Yeah it sucks, I was about to change the cats out and do a custom Black Widow exhaust. On hold for now.
Maybe your programmer is to blame. What are you using? I've heard of guys blowing up not just their tranny but engines as well due to tuning. That's one of the reasons I went with Black Bear.
I was thinking the same. It's an older hyper tech programmer.

Went and dod this today. Been eyeing the clarion nx 404 for a year. Seen the 605 on a pretty good deal. Just had to tell the wife after we won it. http://m.ebay.com/itm/191845396428?_mwBanner=1
