Sounds like a good time!

 

I used my truck for some heavy hauling today, went and picked up a recliner. :lol:

It smelled funny so I hit it with some Lysol and wiped it down. Smells good now.

Missing my truck. I'm on the road this week, at Purdue now in a rental car with a weird smell. I did see a Ferrari 458 today which was neat- such a stunningly beautiful car.

Can you actually see with those LED's while backing up? I have LED's and cant see crap. I have to hold my brake lights to see anything. But they look awesome so I haven't swapped em out yet haha

Basically bought a whole new front end. Now I just got to put it together. 4y9yqahu.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

 

You should put in polyurethane bushings. Night and day difference in handling

Yes I can. My truck is barely lifted. Yours on the other hand...

Enjoy Purdue, thats my alma matar

Any particular brand you've had good luck with? Going to be doing some suspension work this winter, and my factory bushings are looking weathered.

 

Maybe I could make my own, made a bunch for the Baja SAE car last year. :lol:

 

Right now I'm debating ordering everything and doing a complete front suspension overhaul (-shocks & bearings, already done) which probably isn't needed, vs taking it to the shop and having them do just what's needed.

Do it yourself it is not hard at all. And you can replace everything for the price of them to install a few things.

 

I used Energy Suspension bushings. Come as a complete kit and perform awesome. Make sure you follow instructions on using the grease it comes with. Buy extra and don't be scared to use it. Just wipe off excess

Someone stole my two 13mm wrenches while I was at lunch. Put a real crimp on how much I could do. I ate at a good Irish pub called 9 Irish Brothers last night, started late this morning because the parking permit office had moved since my last visit and then the wrench thing. Rough start. :lol:

Letting mine rest easy in the garage so it won't turn 12k before its second birthday tomorrow...

Finally finished replacing all the wear and tear parts on my front end. Gotta love gm! Everything but the wheel bearings and shocks made it to 316k miles. Now I just gotta grease it up and get an alignment.

    • 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?
