I went to Costco and had the tires rotated while I was there. I'm rotating every 4-5k miles.

I also ran her through the car wash and vacuumed her out. She was filthy after last week's rain.

Change the oil and filter, since it was over 60 today. Come on spring.

Got new plugs & wires. The old ones were completely toast. They were Autolites & were gapped WAY off. Then half the wires weren't even making good connection to the plugs. The wires ripped apart as I was taking them off & were also corroded badly. All new AC Delco parts & now she's running real good. Also dropped a can of Engine Restore in the crankcase. Already seeing benefits of my labors.

Mine is a 5.3 and I'm digging it I can only imagine how good a 6.2 would sound.

pretty sure the sound would be similar, just waiting to find out for sure, and the changes (if any) in power/mileage. The more mods i do to this truck, the more i love it. Think my girl is getting jealous...lol

My gas mileage went down for now because I'm constantly getting on it to hear it. Lol I'm loving mine and I feel us on the mods I should be getting my lift and steps this week or next week I'm as excited as a little kid at Christmas.

Nice, what lift?

It's from maxx-lift.com the guy lives in town and it's the same lift as zone off-road someone in another thread on here said that kit was made by bds kinda like a lower brand sort of like snap on and blue point and things like that. I'm gonna see how he will charge to put it on and if it's to much I'll put it on myself.

Parked to close to a log in a parking lot and when backing up ripped my air dam off. Oh yay. But I did get my gm trucks decal on my rig to pretty stoked about that.

Took my 02 out for most of the day yesterday. Ran her down the highway and I don't remember having all those vibrations coming from it. Around 85 the truck felt like it was gonna come apart. Something must be out of balance, I hope lol

Gave it a wash after the nice salt storm (2" of snow) we had here

She looks brand new, Ryan.

She looks brand new, Ryan.

I have gotten that a lot. Right before Xmas a coworker seen it and was like did you get a new truck? I was like um no it's 5 yrs old. He didn't believe me.

    • 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?
