2015i Denali finally here!

[coffeyman76]

Just got the call being delivered to the dealer today. Actually I am surprised, 12/8 build week and it's here. I was expecting another 2 weeks.

Pictures to follow. I need to take a few days off I think to get in the leveling kit, wheels, tires, air intake, Diablo tune, fog/tail lights and all the other goodies I have in the garage!

Sorry guys, you are right - it didn't happen yesterday. Between my work schedule, registration in a different state, financing, getting the employee certificate finalized and a 2014 sign off from GM exec. it was too much to accomplish from the 2pm delivery at the dealer until COB.

This morning I am dropping off the leveling kit to the dealer who is going to install and tint match the front & wheels got dropped off at the shop for 305/45R22 Nittos. They apparently don't produce the 285/50R22 Nittos TG any longer, moving to the TG2 but barely in production. Available but expensive is the word! The size between those is so close it'll work out.

Plan is to pickup Thursday PM to give them time to do what they need to do. Patience is most certainly a virtue. I will snap a pic of her covered in plastic and dirty when I drop off the kit today though for proof!! ;-)

Ok dangit now I am just bumping my own thread...sorry for the crappy picture. Pickup is late Thursday, wheels go on Friday.

Tires ordered today, went back and forth on the order. Hope I made the right call with the 285/50/R22. That's a big freaking tire, I would bet I have to do a touch of trimming even with the level kit unfortuantely. Fingers crossed. About $30 more than the 305/45R22 but I just didn't want them coming out past the fender much, if at all and it gives me more sidewall which is what I wanted.

But they are half way here and the guy is like this is an E 10-Ply rated tire you know that right? I guess I should have - never realized. Hopefully the weight of the vehicle, drop the PSI and the mag ride smooths out that ride. I have 10ply 285 tires on my Tahoe now and think they are fine but they have always been on there so I don't know what it is like to not have them. Certainly don't tow anything to warrant them but I am on jobsites a bunch and I suppose that is why I have never had a flat or sidewall puncture. I am quite positive the 6.2 will handle them without loosing too much.

That's a beautiful rig. 4x4? What color interior?

I think we are going the route you did, a base Denali w/ sunroof/DVD.

Is that you coofeyman 76 or I'm still sleeping. Will check again tomorrow morning in my table drinking my Cofee. Lol

Well yesterday was a day of highs and lows!

Picked up the Yukon. Freaking incredible. What an amazing difference and improvement over the previous model Tahoes.

The dealer installed the leveling kit and loved the 2.5/1 - they have just been doing a 1.5 front so I sent them the link for the one I used. Yukon looks great with a higher level stance. I need to watch parking garages though because it is tall! Window tint matched to the back looks great as well.

When doing the walk around noticed a scratch on the driver's side glass and thought it was in the tint. No problem, the guy will come to me and re-tint ASAP. Nope, it was on the outside in the glass. Item No. 1 - Order a new driver side window and replace.

Drive straight to my tire shop. They had the 285/50R22 Nittos arrive and they mounted 2 and upon opening the 3rd of four wheel boxes we were met with a gunmetal gray 22" instead of the satin black. Item No. 2 - Pull off the wheels and tires and put on the factory 20's.

I don't understand how that happens. I guess I should checked and opened every box when I got them. 3 blacks and 1 gunmetal not working for me. In their defense I called OE wheels, sent them a picture and they had a new black wheel shipped expedited within 15 minutes of my call with a pre-paid label for me to send the other wheel back. Honest mistake but at least the customer service was johnny on the spot.

So anyways, not going to be 100% complete until Monday. Still enjoying the heck out of this thing though. Wow!

It was dark by the time I got home, so a picture for proof! ;-)

You the man,enjoy looks good [emoji106]

 

[PokerMunkee]

Very nice....can't wait to see more pics when wheels get mounted. That leveling kit looks like a necessity!

 

[imnohero]

In looking forward to seeing it with the wheels... matching of course!

 

[SRT8_HMI]

What is the leveling kit you speak of?? Details please!

 

[jl449]

I like the gun metal rims you posted. I think it will go well with iridium metallic denali that I have on order. I ordered the standard 22" w/chrome inserts... Maybe I should try plasti dip gun metal now
