Bilstein finally came out with their 5100 leveling shocks for the K2xx platform a couple months ago. took them long enough!

Right now, I'm not sure if I'm going to bring the front up or leave it the way it is.. I'll probably leave it as is for a little while. I feel like I started swapping stuff out too quickly with the Denali and didn't let it "settle in" enough before drop shackles, 20" wheels, etc..

Nice choice!

Take advantage of the OnStar app and use it to remote start, unlock and other stuff.

A few guys around here are getting 21mpg on the highway with theirs. I think MS3DALE said that the last trip down to NC from Pa. his buddy's 6.2 got 21mpg but only 19mpg going back up to Pa. Still not bad.

Yeah, I went through the OnStar "let's try to upsell you on a bunch of stuff" process today at work. 6 months of OnStar and 3 months / 3 GB of 4G wifi hotspot coverage in the truck. I'll probably use some of that this weekend, just to see how well it works.

So far, the DIC is showing about 19 or so, running back & forth to work. Hopefully, I can actually get out of town for a few days and see how she does on the road.

EDIT : Oh, yeah! I'm not real impressed with their Android App. The keyboard doesn't popup when it should and when I "make" the keyboard popup, the box I'm trying to type in doesn't slide up.. I remote started it while I was walking out of work, but the app said remote start failed. Hopefully, it'll get better with a few updates!

I think it's user error.

No issues with the Onstar app here and that's even out work in BFE where cell coverage is spotty at best.

I downloaded the latest one from Google Play and to me, it's slow and kind of crappily written. Trying to use the OnStar website to update the SSID and Password for the Wifi Hotspot doesn't work via the browser, either. It says connecting, but then fails..

I'm downloading the iOS version now to see if it works any better.

Maybe it's that fancy wifi stuff? My old, ghetto Tahoe doesn't have that. I just use the Onstar app to start it, send directions to the nav, and to check the fuel level when I wonder if I have enough gas to get to work the next day.

The iOS version, even on an old & slow iPhone 4S, runs circles around the Android version..

Maybe so, I don't know. The Android version feels to me like a bad web app that hasn't been optimized to work on phones. The iOS version felt like a phone app.

I use the version that I got from the OnStar website... it works great on the Cadillac

It seems to be the wifi stuff that they hosed up. The other features, like "send address to the vehicle" works great.
