Yes Denali HD Duramax/allison. And no real problems to speak of (since I deleted it.) What I meant in comparison to my 05, Is I just feel like my 05 was built better. I beat the shit out of my 05, drag racing, truck pulls, off roading etc etc. But I always maintained it and when I broke something I replaced it with better parts. That truck still drove strait as an arrow with no squeaks or rattles when I sold it 2 years ago, after all it went through. My Denali has never been off roading or participated in any racing or pulls but it constantly develops rattles that drive me crazy! Don't get me wrong I really enjoy all the creature comforts but the quality of the dash and door panels aren't great IMO. That and the new sheet metal dings super easy, It is about as thick as a beer can:baby: And my last b!tch while Im at it Once the tires get down to under 50% it develops a slight shimmy i can feel in the wheel, Granted they are 35" M/T tires (Cognito Lift) but I have ran everything from Toyo's and nittos to cheap Federals on it with the same results. The front ends of the new(er) trucks are very finicky and the slightest thing off transitions directly to the steering wheel. I just installed a steering stabilizer last week I am hoping will help with this but my tires are brand new so it will be awhile before I can tell if it helps. All in all its a great truck that I really enjoy DD but for the 60+k there getting for these things now it pisses me off when something rattles or squeaks.:baby:

See if you can have an alignment shop add 1-2* more caster. Should help kill the shimmy

I have had it aligned 3 times already, twice at GM and once at a local shop and it still does it when the tires get worn. Its not drastic by any means, just enough I can feel and see it on my steering wheel.

All those guys do is follow the computer and go off stock specs. You lift the truck and add bigger tires, stock specs aren't always enough. If you tell them you want to try to add 1-2 more degrees on top of where the arms are currently, they shouldn't have an issue with that. That's also assuming you have enough adjustment left in the UCA

Thanks for the tip, I will suggest that next go round :thumb:

I understand, I'm looking at getting a 4 door but keep going back and forth between new 15/16 or the tried and true 06/07, love the older models especially their simplicity, but the new larger interior is awesome, but have to see what comes along. Be wheeling my 8.1 and stealing my dad's lbz in the mean time
