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

They really do a good job with their warranty! That's very impressive they will upgrade you just for the cost of the parts!

I’m not sure if it’s just the cost of the parts but that may be. The Black is $5000 and the Level 3 is $3200 so I would still pay $1800. But they also said it might cost less and they’ll try to keep costs down. They said they’re not going to try to get a bunch of money they just want to take care of me. I have worked with them before and they really are awesome.

On a better note....the dash bezel looks great. So much better than the wood grain. I deleted the phone mount and ordered a pocket for that spot off EBay.

yep crap costs money.
i'm at the same point, long as you're happy with product/service then saving a few bux at the expense of going somewhere else and risking a nightmare experience isnt worth it

Also I’m going to do a little product endorsement. My floor mats, especially the driver one, slide around. They always drove me crazy. The driver was terrible because it has the plastic heel pad ( I should have deleted it when I ordered the new carpet) and that caused that mat to slide like crazy. Every damn time I got in and out it would slide. I saw the Eagle Klaw holders online and ordered a set for 2 mats. These things are awesome. You install one part in the mat ( you have to cut holes for them to attach through, I used a drill) and then screw the claw part on, then position them in the truck and either stomp on them or use a dead blow like I did, then unscrew them and lift the mat to be sure the claws ********* the mat and pad. Then screw the mat down onto the claws. It actually pulls the mat down into the carpet a bit. These things aren’t moving. You just unscrew them to vacuum and then screw them back on when you’re done.

So what you saved on not having to redo the wheels on “the machine” you’re now going to have to spend on the tranny for “the beast” plus some? When I first read it, thought you had to spend the whole 5k to have it done.

Looks like that’s the case. Win some lose some.

It’s boxed up and UPS will come pick it up this afternoon. Performabuilt said UPS has lost 5 transmissions this spring since the virus shit started and told me to insure it so if they lose mine they will pay for a new one. I insured it for $5k. I hope they lose it lol.

Maybe put the address in very fine print so its not as easy to read

Pulled the dash to repaint it. The first time I did it lasted pretty good but the area where the main bezel touches it is chipped and since I painted the bezel I want the rest to look good. The SEM paint is being delivered today. I can’t believe how easy these dashes are to remove. It took about 10 minutes. The NNBS take about an hour.
