This is the one I got. High quality from what I can tell.

Damn, you got a tall garage with tall doors!

Can you measure from highest point of truck to the ground? Hopefully fits in a 7' standard garage.

Busy weekend! Got the air intake installed and the emblems painted up (plasti-dip). Also got the center caps completed (plasti-dip), fogs replaced, tails and license plates replaced and Husky's installed. ALso got the radar detector mounted with a mirror mount and wire taps.

What an amazing vehicle. I am returning the Superpaq and swapping for a Diablo or BB Tune. The Superpaq doesn't work - it won't read the file on the last step - it says "vehicle response was incorrect" so I don't know what condition it left the vehicle in. Seems to be running fine but I don't notice any sort of power increase or throttle improvement so I don't think it completed the tune.

The air intake is pretty cool. I love the sound. It may get old after a while but for now man when you step on the gas you are reminded of that 6.2 with a great throaty sound. Can't tell a difference under standard load/cruising.

Thanks to everyone for the great detailed instructions, part numbers, etc.

Only thing left is the wheels and tires. Next week!

Few shots for now.

Its about 80 inches. It'll be 81/82 with the new tires/wheels.

Yeah I have 8' garage doors.

What does 2015i stand for?

 

[PokerMunkee]

Intermediate. Built after 10/5/2014. Denali got the 8 speed and other goodies.

 

[humer101]

Is " D" and "i". Discontinue and intermediate which have 8 speed and some corrections On power train and transfer case. [emoji106] [emoji2]

 

[Coltsneckbob]

My Denali was manufactured in April 2014 and has the 8 speed trans so I am not sure what goodies there might be.

 

[PokerMunkee]

If your Denali was built in 4/14, you have the 6 speed.

Denalis built after 10/5/14 have:
- 8 speed
- Hands free lift gate (wave foot under car)
- Wireless phone charging in center console
- Faster IntelliLink system

The only way you can have 8 speed is if you are a magician. [emoji165] lol impossible.

If it makes you feel any better, I believe you Robert!

Got the wheels and tires on! Couple of quick shots in the nearest big box lot.

285/50R22 Dura Grapplers (thought long and hard about how much AT work I need this for, decided for the DG over the TG)

Really happy the way it turned out. Going to swap out that rear 1.5" (actually measured exactly 2" from stock) down to a 1" to get some more rake out.

Loving this vehicle!

Beautiful truck enjoy man , my truck is in the dealer waiting for GM represent for tomorrow morning, or they replace the transfer case or they keep I don't care about. This is not a lease I have to make sure is fix 100%, plus some other manor stuff. [emoji19]

 

[PokerMunkee]

Looks awesome! I agree on the rear leveling, too high.

 

[jl449]

Nice rims... differently like the black and chrome.

Question... where did you get the LED fog lights - what brand and p/n?

 

[Jake01]

I guess I'm showing my age but I just don't like the black rims or the wheel being bigger than the tire. No offense... just giving my opinion and as long as you like it then that's all that matters. Am I the only one?

None taken. It isn't for everyone. I think it looks classy enough to fit the denali trim but "custom" enough to be different. I'm almost 40 so guess I don't play on growing up any time soon! ;-)

The rims are "oe spec" 22", I personally think with the size and stance of the Yukon they look awesome.

Part of the "bigger than the tire" is the black on black effect. They are pretty dang big tires with 5.6" sidewalls which I needed because I drive on jobsites and such pretty often.

Anyways, I am digging it. I need to drop the rear a little, that lift put it too high.

Everything you need to know depending on "model". Amazon. Fit like a glove and look great. Bright.

Does the wireless phone charging actually work?? It sounds like the work of the devil!

Most say it does, I just ordered the Qi charging adapter for my phone so I don't know yet. Will update when I do!
