Gents,
Good evening from PA! Finally got around to registering after perusing the knowledge and wisdom on these pages over the last number of months. Had Silverado work trucks for years and just got an '08 Denali earlier this year to replace our (totaled) Lexus people mover. Love the extra room, 22" rims, and power. Interior in great shape, a little rust here and there. Overall tons of potential, but with ~235k mi., she needed some TLC.
So far, I've replaced the following:
- new front Timken bearing / hubs
- new GSP front axles
- new Denso O2 sensors, both upstream and downstream
- new ACDelco iridium plugs & ACDelco wires
- new ACDelco air filter
- new ACDelco serpentine belt, belt tensioner, AC belt & tensioner, idler pulley
- new GM Genuine updated left valve cover (PN: 12570427) & gasket
- new PCV hose
- new GM Genuine oil pan & gasket
- new GM Genuine front differential mount brackets
- new remanufactured front diff from ReRun Remans (https://rerunremans.com/) (seems like great unit for incredible price, avail. on eBay)
- new Fel-Pro oil pump pickup tube O-ring
- new GM oil cooler gasket
- new rear diff gasket
- new 285/45/22 Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail ATs
Next on the to-do list will be Z55 struts, shocks, strut mounts, compressor, etc. Can't wait to get to the wish list to make her faster, but one thing at a time.
Grateful for all the resources and experience available on this Forum.
Cheers,
Rob
