Really enjoying this new Denali XL

Ahhhh, ok....

I found this a while back and posted it on the Drive Train section. Looks like TECH2 is already phased out on all 2014 and newer vehicles.

So I think the air compressor is dead. Fairly common. Arnott shocks # 2708 are about $ 200 a piece rebuilt including a core of 50.

Where is the compressor so I can check it.

Drivers rear outside frame rail behind the rear tire.

looks like from I have read the gds2 won't work on the camaro either, if you are planing on doing your own repairs and troubleshooting on the denali I would just grab a tech2 off of ebay it will pay for it's self in due time. They run about $300-350, no subscription required unless you plan on programming a module or something in which case it's $40 for 2yrs per vin number which is not bad at all considering what the dealer will charge for just about anything.

Bought the Tech2 that had a good feedback from Ebay.

Taking Denali into Savoie in Troy to get plugs and wires on 8/14. Then heading north on 8/15.

Tech 2 is packed as is the Arnott compressor and tools....

Tires rotated and balanced- one wheel is slightly out of round. That has minimal tread on inside edge. UGH.

@avalonandl
Are you able to adjust the brightness and contrast on the backup camera view?

I'm told, and it says in the manual, that while in reverse you should be able to push the menu button and have those adjustment settings available. I can't get mine to do that?

Changed the Air Compressor ad put in the new fuse. What an absolute Bi$ch it was. I had to cut the connector (discontd the batt first) to get the wire harness apart. It was CAKED with dried mud.

see pic of compressor- fully trashed

PS- Lost a deep socket IN my frame....ugh

Yep, that’s about what I would expect. The two that I had to swap out looked very similar. After the first one, I learned to put a grinding face mask and stocking cap on to keep from looking like something exploded in my face.
