I have a 2020 2500hd Denali and my truck does the same when I hit about 70 MPH. Dealer can't figure it out.

[@JWMontoya]

I KNEW I WASNT THE ONLY ONE!

[@quentinjackson6919]

I don’t own one, but a GMC 2500 is my dream truck. I did a little bit of reading and everything I saw was pointing to the steering box. Idk if that helps, but I hope it does!

[@JWMontoya]

I’ll have to take it do the dealership

[@uno_solo_6477]

@@JWMontoya Another problem i had with my 2020 2500hd Denali is that the breaks were squeaking. They were speaking everytime i hit the brakes and my truck had 9k miles on it. I took it to the dealership two weeks ago and the had to replace the breaks and the rotors. There's a bulletin online about the breaks. My dealership didn't have a recall in the system so I printed off the bulletin and showed it to them. I hope this helps just incase you have that problem. Other than that, I love my truck. Keep me posted on who does your lift. Im in Conyers Ga and I want to upgrade my lift. I have a 6 inch RC and the dealership I purchased it from sales lifted trucks and that's what they use. I know the lift was cheap on a expensive truck but it came with a 150k bumper to bumper warranty. Including the lift.

[@shanehobson1499]

I have a 16 Denali HD, and after research and talking with multiple people in the diesel world a steering stabilizer setup installed will help cure this issue. Installing mine next weekend

[@givemeyosanwich7754]

For how “cheap” Rough Country is, you can’t beat them having a life time warranty to back their stuff.

[@JWMontoya]

Correct. Their warranty is great too

[@johnnybravo2985]

It's funny how people think bkuz its super affordable it's cheap...

[@tennesseecurtiss5741]

[@50calprepper]

Congratulations! I bought a new 19 in late 18. Hated the 2020 looks back then! Now I freaking love them 🤦‍♂️....Buuuutttt My truck had a bunch of parts fall off early in its life. So now I don’t want to lose my investment 🥲

[@JWMontoya]

Enjoy your weight reduced l5p!

[@huh_whoknew4714]

And other than Shocks and small items the Rough Country is legit. Have installed all of them and there really isn't much difference in main components. We actually preferred to install a RC truck lift over the others. Fitment was always right and if we ever needed parts they were almost always in-stock. And gave our shop zero grief getting replacement parts or when we placed a stock order it was there. Now their Jeep stuff....leaves a lot to be desired. I think the majority of RC hate is just fan boy stuff. I actually prefer their Upper Control arms over the competition being they have Clevite Frame bushings and a Moog Ball Joint which you can source just about anywhere.

[@alanhernandez3238]

Honestly, the previous owner had a valid reason to go with the rc lift the truck has. I had the rc 7in on my 1500 and I placed an order for bds 8in coilovers lift and it was so tiring that they couldn't get my order in or they kept having issues and I gave up on bds after about 5 months from when I placed it. I actually upgraded my suspension to the 7.5in rc vertex with a half in spacer on the front and honestly I can't complain about the ride quality with that vertex setup and I love how it looks. Still can't wait to see how your truck will look with your future setup!

[@UnfriendlyHero]

Loving the channel! I just purchased a 2021 2500hd AT4 6.6 diesel and no issues with with the wandering but steering is a little funky compared to my last truck. (2019 1500 AT4) I was also going to go big with a 12 inch but the BDS 6.5 is calling my name lol

[@bakkendrt7972]

I got a 5” Zone lift running 20”rims on 37” tires on mine No wondering at all my old Powerstroke on 37’s I traded off use to wonder all over.

[@dannymai1970]

I just bought 2021 Denali 2500 HD. Not even 2k miles and got problem. Its loss power out of no where while I were driving. Took to the dealership next day and it's took a good 5 seconds to start. Yes I meant 5 seconds before the truck finally started. Been 2 weeks now they still couldn't figure out what is wrong with it. But I don't have that problem that you mentioned it. It's run very smooth.

[@gabrielbz.]

i’m glad you got a duramax and can’t wait for all the 2020 content to continue. happy for you man

[@themanthelegend7048]

Rough countru aint cheap, theyre just priced right. Plus theyve been arkund since the 70s so they already paid for their machines etc.

[@AngelIRQ0508]

Bang💥Bang💥... hopefully I will buy mine next year, same year and trim, I love the AT Line up ... I sold my 2019 so I am definitely in the hunt for my next gmc .. 🇺🇸👍🏼

[@ramsandrzr3706]

I have the Cummins long horn high output absolutely love it. 👍👍👍👍

[@MikesGarageReviews]

Where the hell did you get that wig helmet on your head😂 looks like my grandmothers old practice wigs from the salon

[@dylanperkins6166]

The 2006 duramax I just bought was doing the samething and it was ball joints changed those had it aligned drives great now. Nice looking truck

[@davidturner5164]

Check your tire pressure my tahoe has that issue when the pressure is lower from one side to the other

[@CincyRaider-wf2ud]

My 2020 Duramax also wonders a bit on the highways. We have a brand new section of pavement and it's very noticeable. I took it into the dealer, they say everything I'd good to go 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@JWMontoya]

Turn off your lane assist and see if it’s better

[@moneydog6317]

Just Word of Wisdom my 3500 2020 Duramax does the same thing there is a lot of play and shimmying in the steering when you're going down the road especially a bumpy road I took it to the dealership and they said it's caused by electronic steering if it was hydraulic it what does orb the shimian for the fact there's pressure on it at all times maybe a stabilizer shock would help. There is also a lot of electronic problems with my truck as well exedra especially the air intake does not line up as well as the fender Wells all have a hole in them for road debris to get up inside the fenders a lot of the stuff is poor ass design as soon as you pay for it they do not give a s*** would not buy one ever again.

[@huh_whoknew4714]

I'd ask the alignment shop to add a tad more Positive Caster than spec just a little more than what the Machine claims is in spec.. High speed wondering or looseness is normally a result of negative caster

[@edgargonzalez3923]

Check idler and pitment arm some are defected from factory and check the alightment camber should be about 5.0 degrees and caster should have a split of at least 0.5 degrees with the passanger side higher than driver side to correct the slight drift to compensate for the lift

[@gerardomontoya433]

I had that problem on my 2020 ltz Duramax and the dealership bought al new front steering parts and fix the problem

[@ronfeinberg]

I have a '20 Denali dually; it doesn't wander but there is an uneasy mechanical play in the steering, very different from my '18 Denali dually which had a solid steering feel.

[@allenmoore9796]

My 2020 Denali HD gets a mind of its own on occassion as well

[@issa_powerstroke5491]

Nothing wrong with a cheap lift 😂 I rock a zone lift it was cheap and gave me money to build the rest. But now I’m about to get a bulletproof 10-12 or a Stryker 12.

[@JWMontoya]

Oh I love zone! I think they’re good kits

[@issa_powerstroke5491]

Only thing I wish is the kit came with some track bars

[@danh3718]

Wandering solution wheels not centered on studs maybe. Loosen and retorque lug nuts. Drive 50-100 miles and check if still tight.

[@ericbuchta9765]

Good video content and your truck looks sick!!! I love my 2021 is same as yours. They have great power and bigger bed bigger cab all around way cooler. I got the amp steps. Did you know the mirrors have spot lights, I just found that last night. Been wanting to do a video on my truck. I will probably do one when I tow the 12,000 lb winnebago I sold.

[@Stoic_optimist_realist]

Will that lift accommodate 37x13.5 or 38x13.5 tires?

[@rockets713htx]

Been waiting for ur upload nice truck man

[@dave-cd7jd]

the drifting and slack in steering is ball joints and tie rod end issues. my 18 did the same thing, when i swapped my 7 inch rc for my 8 inch bds, i had one ball joint totally shot and the other 3 were wearing out

[@chesley_77]

Hate it when my truck Wonders. 😂 . Its more concerning when it Wanders.

[@Z71_Kevin]

So when’s the Kelderman lift being ordered and installed? Another great video and congrats on the new truck! 🤘🏻

[@Liimpy]

The wandering is the electronic steering

[@alfredogomezjr2950]

the play might be that a bolt is loose in the bottom i know on my 09 ford 6.4 on the RC lift the bolt would always be getting lose and i would have to take back to tire shop to re torque hopefully this helps to give you a better idea

[@alfredogomezjr2950]

i know they said to permanently fix it id have to weld it so it would’ve be getting lose

[@fsu4life270]

Let me no if you modify it I've got the 2018 duramax and hell its brutal finding a way to you no love the truck congratulations

[@home-slicedevin2614]

Get some steering stabilizers

[@duanescarpad2831]

Hey man try putting a steering stabilizer shock on it helped mine out a lot they are not a lot of money they do help with wandering

[@500hpPlusGarage]

My 2020 3500 at4 is solid, 6.5 BDS with 24k miles

[@delacasa4974]

are the control arms flat or a bit upward? how much difference do they make compared to oem ?

[@edgarmonroy5933]

A 12 would b to big 😂

[@koaboyy]

375s would look hard af on this truck

[@ericbuchta9765]

Ya bro it’s me! I am so glad that you guys are checking into this in safe problem. If y’all have problems, my truck is all stock. Incase dealer gives you trouble, reach out to me. I’m going to follow along with you guys and if I can get some video of this on my truck I will post it. I recently went to springfield Missouri, about 600 miles and it wandered a lot. I went en the other lane when I flipped my visor up. No way I could text and drive with this truck. You never know where you are at on the road. I wander if I have them put more caster on the steering if that would work.

[@DKLabs99]

You shouldn’t text and drive period

[@ericbuchta9765]

Will no shit but that’s not the point. The point is I have a 8,500 lb truck that drives like a smart car. I guess I’m the only one in American that can see this. Can’t blink while driving. Maybe it’s there way to kill off people. It don’t know. And be sure and practice what you preach mr. goody two shoes. Usually people that preach are the ones that do wrong.

[@DKLabs99]

@@ericbuchta9765 none of your reply makes any goddamn sense.

[@ericbuchta9765]

I’m trying to get the word out on gm trucks. There is something seriously wrong with the steering. There is a lot other brands that are building their vehicles the same way. I don’t feel that it is safe and believe that it’s causing a lot of accidents. I have been fortunate to experience 1 2014 Kia Optima, 1 2018 ford van, 1 2003 silverado, 3 2004 Silverado 4/4, 1 2014 Dodge Ram 4/4, 1 2018 gmc, 1 2019 gmc HD, 1 2021 gmc HD, 2 Chevy work vans 2008 and 2013. I’m very experienced when it comes to driving.

[@DKLabs99]

@@ericbuchta9765 building them in Mexico didn’t help. Maybe there’s a correlation there? Wonder if the ones built in Detroit had less issues

[@JWMontoya]

Partially, but there’s definitely some play in the steering column that’s not normal

[@Subi_doo]

@@JWMontoya did you check the rod ends and ball joints? Was everything tightened on the ground like advised or was it tightened up on the air wheels off the ground? Maybe those new arms are binding

[@JWMontoya]

The whole front end has been upgraded with Kyrtonite products and everything has been looked over. Clicking the loose steering still exits

[@Subi_doo]

@@JWMontoya bad rack? I wouldn’t settle on that issue. I’d be hinting for the answer.

Does your steering wheel rattle when you hit bumps?

[@markcarkner4617]

Actually yes it will. Driver door rattle as well over a bump

[@markcarkner4617]

More of a slight vibrate on road turn.

[@markcarkner4617]

Dealer did an allignment and said it was sent from factory with little grease in steer components. Believe it or not it is better than before but still wonders. So is still a safety concern.

Because all trucks are made cheap now. And sell for the price of a house. Well not in California🤣 cheap parts for a not cheap truck! That’ll last 3 years. That’s what I get out of mines. Just got the 2020 duramax and I don’t expect to be problem free for over 3 years. I already have an alignment issue and has very minimal miles. My 2015 was ok for 2 years but the condenser failed and always seemed to have alignment issues. By the time you realize it the insides are starting to wear and make a humming sound.
