Got the OBX headers on! They are sweet. Adds some nice volume to the exhuast and you can feel the power gain. The shop that put them on complimented them as "very nice high quality" parts. I have a video and some pics I'll put up later.

 

All four factory O2 sensors are working just fine, no CEL.

i grew the balls and took the trim off of my 2003 silverado. luckily, even after 120,000 miles of never being garaged, there was 0 discoloration or fading. turned out perfectly thanks to the 3M eraser wheel. i cannot stress enough on how much of a godsend the 3M eraser wheel is.. anyone debadging or removing trim GET AN ERASER WHEEL. took the trim off my 2001 by hand and scraper and goo gone and it took 4 hours.

i love eraser wheels!

 

i did nothing.. i slept 12 hours thanks to nyquil.. lol but im heading to work here pretty soon

 

also happy birthday mike!

Well after spending the better part of the last 2 days in an F250 on generator duty due to the storm, I took the truck out for a drive and then went through the area near work to see if any improvement was made...not much

undercoated wheel wells in the back and painted my brake drums, my frame needs cleaning up really bad

I ordered my DC Power Engineering SPX 300 alternator. Looking for the best deal on Stinger HPM 1/0 cable for the big 3 upgrade

Was actually yesterday but, I tried to drive THROUGH a Dodge Ram (literally). Needless to say it didn't turn out well for either truck.

 

I should prob mention, I had a green light and he made an ill-advised left turn in front of me, which precipitated the aforementioned "drive through" incident when I T-boned him.

 

Sierra's prob written off :( theres another post about it on here with pics.

Today I'm running errands and stacking my Jackson's and hanging with my Anglo Saxons.

    • Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.  
    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
