Oh I gotcha. It's not often they are back there but when I got 5 people in the truck chances are half of them need to plug their phone in. Plus I will use it to charge my drills for work

Bigger inverter and 300 amp alternator

I finally washed her today. I did the nooks and crannies at home (covered apt parking) then drove to a car wash to do the rinse and drying. Also vacuumed and cleaned the interior.

 

The sour note is that while lifting up the driver side plastic door will I snapped it in half. fml. rockauto to the rescue???

 

If I find that part there I will also buy the rear passenger door handle. And the stubby antenna sounds interesting because the stock one is way to big and cumbersome.

The nice thing about the stock antenna is if it clears something you know the cab will. Also if you use AM at all the stubby antenna will hurt reception about as bad as having no antenna at all.

 

I think the stock antenna looks better than the stubby ones. But I do think the best look is to get rid of it and get the escalade trim piece which has no antenna hole.

If alternator goes out again I'll get a bigger one. The inverter like I said is for running a radio while tailgating or someone charging a phone every once in a while. If need be I will get a bigger one.

 

It's currently a 410 watt converter and it had 10 gauge wire when it was the alligator clips. That's what I ran back there from the battery so about 10 feet or so maybe more. Think that was too small of a gauge wire?

3000 watts and 1/0 wire

What is the 3000 watt rated for, everything!? I was looking at a Cobra 2500 watt continuous from wally world lol

Almost 45K. Boot was torn. I think the popping noise I had in front end was from this. We will see.

He likes to work on his stuff, which is cool. My 04 Z71 went 200k with just back brakes, it went off road every day. In the other ride section looks like he is bleeding his brakes, I bet he don't have 10k miles on that. I had an 04 Z28 my wife drove one set of brakes every 50k miles, my wife waits to the last second to stop. Some people like to work on them, some like to drive them. I drive them, but its too hot to tinker here till Oct. then the buffer comes out.

      Gas fill door

      By newdude · Posted

      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.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      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.

      Active Grille Delete

      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.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      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?
