Hello everyone! Glad to be back in a full size GM SUV!

My name is Elias and I live in Woodridge, IL. I bought a 2005 GMC Denali w/ every option 3 weeks ago. It also had a few modifications like a BB tune, headers, custom Magnaflow dual exhaust, AEM Brute force intake, 20 inch wheels, etc.

I plan on changing the wheels, fixing the header leak, bring the maintenance up to date, and add a few cosmetic upgrades. Eventually I will supercharge it after I beef up the transmission. Luckily I live close to FLT and Chuck built the Level 3 transmission 4l60e for my old '96 Fleetwood show car and my old '96 Tahoe .. so hopefully they can build me a beefed up 4L65e.

My previous full size GM SUV was a 1996 Tahoe LT. It had a Powerdyne supercharger, Pro Comp 6 inch lift, Borla duals, Gibson headers, AEM intake, custom tune, etc etc... boy do I miss that truck! I sold it 2 years ago and bought a 5 series BMW wagon... but now I am glad to be back in the fold!


Here is a picture of my old '96 Tahoe with my old '96 Fleetwood show car:

.. and we can't forget my pride and joy... the 2002 Collectors Edition Trans Am WS6 convertible:

Take care and I look forward to learning and contributing to this forum!

Regards,
Elias

Thanks!

Yep, the current mods were 'free.' Lucky for me the mods added no value to the Denali. The previous owner traded it on a Trailblazer SS.. lucky for me!

I ordered new front shocks, a bunch of front end parts, OEM grill, fuel filter, spark plugs, spark plug wires, and a new filter for the AEM intake.

I also have a set of tinted tails and clear front corners on the way. This should keep me busy for the next couple of weeks.:)
