Rocket Man's 02 Denali Build Thread AKA "THE BEAST"

[Rocket Man]

The video if the exhaust . One page back, it's a YouTube of my truck running and a bit of throttle. At about a minute in is when it gets kinda loud for a sec. I don't have any other good exhaust videos. Here's one of a short boost test run lol.

Mark, I went back and re-read this entire thread looking for ideas for our Denali. I was so intrigued by reading and all of the possibilities that I did not make a list. This thread should be required reading for anyone who buys one of these vehicles. I will have to go back and jot down some ideas, if you do not mind. It will not be a SC though.

Thank you. It's been a lot of fun to build and it's definitely a blast to drive.

Does it do good burnouts?

^^^ lol. The REAL question comes out....

Does it do good burnouts?

. It gets such good traction with the AWD that it just launches. And I don't try to do burnouts actually because with all that traction, I'll probably break something else. I've already taken out the trans and a front driveline. I figure the NVG149 transfer case would be next, or one of the differentials. It has a 3:73 gear ratio also and combined with the big wheels it doesn't really want to spin the tires it just wants to fly. It will do a 1-2 shift at about 70 at WOT. If I was to regear it, it would do burnouts better but my mileage would go down ever further from the 6.8 mpg I got on my last tank around town.

Remember doing skids on your BMX bike? Lol

WTF?!?!?! Only 6.8 mpg? and this thing is your daily? Might as well slap a Hummer emblem on that *****!
