Yeah fronts are easy. Pulled a shock and put it back in the other night in 10 min. Maybe that's cause this truck is always getting torn down?? Lol

Well the other day I picked up two nitrogen cylinders that were hydrostaticly tested down town. Not the easiest thing to manuever without a cart. Decided to use my truck vs the shop truck since the shop truck's rear leaf spring have had it. It squats real bad with just one person in the bed.

Front shocks arent bad at all... i'm having trouble getting my busted shock extender off i thought it would be easy but ohhh noo

Hey rdnck, the Colorado and Canyons are almost out

Knowing GM they will price them the same as a full size. Not worth it buying a small truck better to buy a full size. Plus I'm a big guy so I prefer a full size

Well if you quit beating on that truck so much...it's getting even with you. It just wants some love and attention. lol

Aren't they going to be close to the size inside as the 800s?

Them don't judge them yet! And who said new? You wouldn't believe how many people rush out to get one and realize a few weeks later they can't afford it, let them take the depreciation loss for you. I have been finding a ZL1s with 2 and 3 digit odometers for 7-15K off MSRP. Edited by SnakeEyes

What about the springs, don't they need to be compressed?

No. The spring stays in place while the shock drops out tbe bottom

I did find a Pontiac g8 GT 3 miles from work for 20k. Has 6 speed automatic and I think 67k miles. Of course it's black so that's a plus

I love how my black car looks when its freshly detailed, but the rest of the time it drives me nuts because you can see every little rock chip or spec of dust.

 

My wife's car is silver, and has 15k more miles, yet the paint looks a lot better, even using the same methods on both cars.

Colorado interiors are definitely smaller than the full size no matter 800 900 or k2

    • Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?  
    • 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?
