New To Forum, Found Denali Powerbuy...

[Rocket Man]

quick question- can I take the seat heaters out of the passenger seat and put them in my not working drivers seat? can i just transfer them?

im not sure which pad is bad, so im hoping I can just trouble shoot when I do the work, then buy one for the passenger when I feel like it..

thanks for any help

If you look for the parts online, they only show a front bottom or front back. No left or right. So I'd say yes. But it is a hassle to pull a seat and the cover just so you know. YouTube it and you'll see.

Looking good man! I had to replace my hydro boost and my master cylinder units over the summer. One was leaking and my mechanic wasn’t sure which it was so he replaced both. Pain in the behind job but better safe than sorry. Lol.

The seats actually aren’t too difficult to pull apart to get y the heater element. However to open up both seats just to swap one pad is a lot of work. You would be better off just ordering a new one and only having to take apart one seat. It’s orobably your bottom cushion that the heater element is out. That’s typically the one that goes. And that part is fairly inexpensive.

For some reason I can't put my pic of the parts be for they are installed, says file is too large?? it's a picture!! lol

This looks really nice, and it's the same color as my Suburban!

As an aside, may I ask what window support shocks you chose?

thanks guys!

I know it's alot of work and watched a video of how it's done, and it seems tedious, but I don't want to hear it from my wife anymore, and that time of year is coming( "it's freezing, I wish the seat warmers worked" ad nauseum)

I would also figure out which one is bad( by swapping one at a time) and then keep it out all together till I buy a new one. I found one for $100, but that's alot for a warm ass, so I figure the passenger can lose out till I decide it's worth it( next winter lol).


and as the parts go, ac Delco whenever they sell it.. rock auto is an awesome site for cheap parts!!

I love the red on the denali!!!

got the intake, pulled the battery negative, installed it and the window shocks, reattached the battery and took it for a 20 mile drive... I will say with confidence that there is more low end torqur, less pedal lag, and just all around better.. im happy, and I don't have to hold the back window up with my head anymore.. movin on uuup!!! lol



I would like to add that there is a noticeable tone change in the motor, me likey

pics after engine detail above...

 

[adventurenali92]

I noticed a change in tone as well when I did my intake! Post some sound clips!

got the window tint done...

I love the windshield tint, takes away almost all ligh5 glare at night, you know, the "shining star" coming off headlights... gone. Nice.

and I wish i could do the front more than 35%, but I don't want to contribute to state funding anymore...lol

will take pics of the tint and put them up..

leather cleaned and conditioned all the seats today!!! I'll take pics of that too.

 

[igell]

Nice truck! have you done the BB tune yet?

 

[D is for DENALI]

couple of the tint, inside, inside tint contrast of 35% to 70%, and a darker photo that might show the windshield better.

she's a beaut clark! a beaut!

eta- I have not done any tune of any kind... when I get to the exhaust(1000ish), and cats(400 after welding), I will get a tune then. I was thinking of putting a jet maf sensor in when its done, but i want more opinions on the brand and if it's worth it. says that it's a better map flashed on a stock maf sensor... but is it worth the money.

 

[D is for DENALI]

something like this

if you go to jegs website and look it up on their page, they say that I need a low temp thermostat and a throttle body spacer...???

 

[Rocket Man]

If you really want to waste $300 then get that MAF sensor. If yours is bad, get an AC Delco for $70 or if it's not bad don't buy either. I have my stock one on my supercharged Denali and it works fine. That Jet won't do you a damn thing except drain your wallet. Put that money towards a BlackBear tune.

I already bought a new maf sensor when I originally bought it, I was just wondering if the cost of 2 and a half sensors is worth 1.

thanks for helping!

im not racing it so i was thinking if it would help when I stamped on it for passes or something.

No it won’t help at all. Like I said, if the stock one is good enough to measure the amount of air that Im pulling through it, it’s certainly good enough for your engine.

Remember, it's a Mass Air Flow sensor- it doesn't increase or decrease the amount of air entering your engine, it just measures how much is entering. And also there's no need for an aftermarket throttle body either-once again the stock one is enough for even a supercharged engine which is consuming way more air than a stock engine. Don't fall for the hype that a bigger TB is going to make you more power. A good tune will do that though. For $600 you can buy an Autocal with lifetime tunes from Blackbear Performance and gain HP as well as make your shifting faster and firmer and will wake up your truck more than you can imagine. And you can install tunes yourself that they create for you. They e-mail the tune to you. You just hook up the Autocal to your OBD port and install it. If you want to spend some money to make your truck faster, it's the way to go.

Great advice. I've read the stock Tb can handle up to 500 hp! So you're good to go on that end.

 

[D is for DENALI]

that's very helpful!!

im going to see if black bear is doing any traveling tunes in the Midwest next year, and by then i should have the cats and corsa sport hooked up... minus jet sensor..lolz

With the intake, cats, exhaust and tune, and being that stock hp is 320ish, do you think i could get up to 400 with all that work and tune? or more like 375?

 

[Rocket Man]

More like 350 bud. HP gets real expensive after the first 25-30.
