Hey welcome to the forum and very nice Denali!!! I wish mine was as nice as that.

Your paint code will be on the RPO sticker in the glovebox. It is on the bottom left follow BC/CC. You will be able to look up the color and I'm assuming it is silver birch metallic. Everything else has pretty much been explained... Enjoy your stay here, this forum is very helpful!

awesome.. thanks for the warm welcome and answers guys.
If I were to get a pcm tune for this truck what is the preferred and most cost effective tune option for the lq4? (looking to spend no more then $300)
From my research it sounds like these engines were considerably de-tunned from the factory

Yes, their fueling is weak, and their timing curves are weak. Plus you can really liven the trans up with increased line pressure. It will amaze you how well it can shift when programmed correctly.

Honestly the only tune you should look at is a BlackBear performance tune. They run more than that but they know their GMs. The biggest gain felt is the reduction of the factory torque management.

I agree with the others especially the BB tune. I run 87 octane on one of their tunes on my 02 Denali and it's pretty quick. As far as tires, you can go quite a bit bigger overall with some minor inner plastic fender well trimming. You can check out my build thread for some ideas.

so i would love to be able to put the stock Denali 2014 20inch wheels on my Denali.
according to this site.. http://www.discountedwheelwarehouse.com/GMC___Vehicle_Bolt_Pattern_Reference.cfm
the only difference is Standard offset (01) vs high positive offset (14+)
any idea if this will cause any issues? I am going to look at a set today.

attached is the image of the wheels i am interested in getting

If you decide to get them go with https://factoryreproductions.com unless you can find a good deal on the OEM rims, you should be good on the offset the NNBS Denali rims are +31 and they fit my Escalade great had them on my OBS Tahoe

All vehicles after about 07 was mandated to have tire sensors.
