Holy Cow ................ as everyone else has said, glad everyone is ok, and the truck is a mess, BUT it sure did it's job very well....... my wife and I were in our '19 Tahoe last night and I asked her if she felt safe, she said yes, and this PROVES how good these trucks really are.....thanks for sharing this......

Great job on getting everyone buckled up the right way at the right time. The big man said it’s not your (or your family’s) time. Godspeed Sir!

The mush in your front suspension is all the bushings deteriorating. Drop it off for tie rods, control arm bushes, sway bar bushes, and then have em verify if there’s life in anything else. Warn the tech to watch for condition of steering box. It’d suck to have it apart to find out the box is bad and pay to take it apart again as well as align it twice.

When you say "wobbily" do you mean that it feels like it wants to roll or is the rear end feeling like it is swaying. I'm curious because our Tahoe feels like sway (tail wagging), it actually feels like the rear is swaying to the point that it causes the front to oversteer. Would like to know what fixed it for you.

Wow, glad you’re all ok. Like you said you can always replace a vehicle. Curious if you had the drivetrain in 4H or Auto 4WD or just 2WD. Though maybe in you’re year the Denalis are AWD. But in any case do you remember what setting it was in?

Swaying I would say. Not bad but with play in steering wheel I need to address both.

Pretty sure the box as well needs an adjustment or replacement. I have watched the YouTube videos but have not tried to adjust it yet.

I'm glad that you came through this with relatively minor injuries after such an accident
.


Am I the only one surprised by the amount of intrusion by the roof at the windshield, and the rear pillars? Given the forces involved I wouldn't expect many cars to come through such a crash without some intrusion. I was hoping that these trucks would have had a little better reinforcement around the roofline.
