I know this has been disscussed here before and I did do a search and read some threads on the subject but I am thinking about puting a 7.5 Fisher on my `05 Sierra Denali that just turned 100K miles.I know the truck will handle the weight and I have towed heavy trailers with it with no problem.My concern is the awd t-case,I know a member here named Lodogg had one and ran it with great success, my question is has anyone here seen a t-case in a Denali fail from plowing?

Plowing with AWD Denali
Denali w/ Western 7.5 plow great
I just returned a 2005 Denali lease that I put a 7.5' Western plow on. It worked fine. I am the owner of a twelve truck snow plow fleet. The Denali was my truck. I only supervise and monitor. It worked fine. If you plan on doing treacherous tight driveways on serious inclines, forget it. Reason being the AWD takes a second to engage and you might need that split second to get out of a jam. I have 22 years of plowing experience, so this one issue is rare and probably not even realized by most. PS. You can buy my Western Plow I took off my Denali for $2,000. It is hardly used.

Thanks Bart that was what I wanted to hear.I do city streets ,have a real easy route with only a couple of steep hills but I usually push them down anyway.Thank you for the offer of your Western but I`m gonna go Fisher,everyone in Mass uses Fishers so there is good dealer support and all the guys I plow with use Fishers so we help each other out with parts .
I`m happy to report that the Denali plows great,I did not notice any difference plowing with an AWD as oppossed to 4wd .Truck handled all the hills just fine,having heated seats and mirrors was real nice also.It could use a set of timbrens as it does droop quite a bit .The only drawback I found was because it is a crew cab the rear door windows stayed fogged up and I wish the heatd mirrors would stay on contantly.
My Dig Cam crapped out and I`m hoping to find one under the tree this friday if not I will go buy one and get the pics up next week.
No more Q- steer`s `04 was the last year for it mine`s an `05.I really like plowing with this truck it is like plowing with an Escalade.
