acb09f40c18e717590d2ee80693fb25d.jpg good by piece of junk problem child 2013 Chevy Silverado z71 you will not be missed but the mice will call you home and in a few years after I take the sprayer and combine by you I'll call in the scrap metal guy to come in and crush you.life will be better off without that price of crap 2013 Chevy it's bin the biggest problem child since the 6.5 diesel. Buying that Tundra was the best thing Iv ever done it can drag my 5.3 backwards to the crusher yard.

9a1ed3f15e00a74ad66c2f3ec2e74b93.jpg I bought this today I pick it up tomorrow wow I gota say way better truck then my 13 Silverado in every way. I'm parking my 13 Silverado in a bluff a trees tomorrow after I pick up my new to me Tundra. My piece of junk 2013 Chevy will be parked for good to rot to death in our one canola field Mainly cause I don't have room to park it In town an don't like looking at it and don't need it no more as I have my 1994 Silverado and my new to me Tundra 5.7

Can you not trade it in where you are? Even a few grand has to be better than having a mouse house.

I'd rather see it be crushed by my buddy that owns a scrap metal business out by Saskatoon I told him next time he's in the area let's crush my 13 Chevy I want to pull the lever that will destroy that problem child leave me on the side of the road truck. That crappy truck left me stranded for the last time at just 61 500 km I just finished paying it off.

To late to trade it off now I already bought this awesome 5.7 Tundra. But I will always have a soft spot for my older GM vehicles like my 88-98 C/K GM trucks and the 1969 Camaro witch is without a doubt the best looking year of Camaro ever produced to date. Specially a 1969 Yanko hmmmmm Yanko. Or 1969 Copo Camaro I'd take that aswell. GM has lost there touch they just don't care it seems like after they went bankrupt they just turned there back against us loyal GM customers/fans. That's the way I feel each to their own I could care less at this point if the NEW general motors falls off the face of the earth I actually hope they do GM should have there tail between there legs for the crap they produce now a days. I expect members to lash out at me over this comment but they don't understand the frustration my 2013 Chevy has caused me. Give me your best remember I like my older GM vehicles from the days GM actually cared. I just don't trust there new crap cause mine has left me on the side of the road a few times now all cause of a faulty ignition switch that keeps killing my truck and won't let me restart it.

I don't like tossing money out the window but I don't think you realise the frustration that truck caused me. Let's see your truck just up and leave you stranded in the middle of know were twice before 61 000km. And then having to fight for a rental truck cause the dealer has no more curtsey vehicles left. I have a huge list of problems that truck had the 4x4 would only work when it felt like it the ignition switch would leave you stranded the oil cooler lines have to be replaced multiple times aswell as transmission cooler lines. The trucks being parked at just over basically 61 000km I'm done with it!!!!!

Lol... enjoy that pile of shit Tundra... haha. I just got rid of one of those underpowered gas guzzling clunkers myself and it felt great.. poor bastard that bought it. ... no doubt you will have it out beside that Chev in a couple years too. I'm not gm loyal... they build plenty of junk no doubt like your 13 likely is... but the Tundra. .. well.. good luck!

 

If you are out near Saskatoon maybe the Toyota dealer service department speaks English. ... Lloyds sure doesn't lol.

Might be a good thing he's going to crush it rather than trade it so someone else doesn't end up with that pile. Haha!

No I bought mine from a dealer in Regina it's got way way more power then my 5.3 plus a way nicer interior. I love me new Tundra my new FX450F Yamaha as well as my 16 700R Raptor will both enjoy relaxing in the box of my new Tundra as I relaxe in the cab after a long day of riding and not have to worry about being stranded like my Chevy would. Iv talked to alot of Tundra owners and not one of them had a bad thing to say about there Tundra's so I bought one and just itching to get it tomorrow afternoon. And my 5.3 vortec is a gas guzzling pig and also like to drink oil like no tomorrow aswell. I avarage 11.7 mpg with my 5.3 and it's gutless as can be!!! If I get 11.7in my Tundra I don't care least it's got 5.7 I force with power to spare.

Do you mean you want the hi and low beams pluss the fog lights to all be on with the hi beams if so I remember me and a friend installed a kit from lmc truck onto his dad's 05 GMC 2500HD duramax. When done the low beams and fog lights would come on with the hi beams. Hope that answers your question. Edited by Daryl Z71

I remember last time my 60e went out. Lost 4th at 65mph, so ran 3500 rpm for 2 miles till I got home lol

You either will love it or hate it... well I was the latter. Hard on fuel, zero power, cheap inside with half the featured any domestic offers for the same price... uncomfortable seats, poorly built etc. Mine was a 2015...but it's gone now... so I am okay with it. I love the power thing... yeah 5.3's are sacks.. I don't buy 5.3's lol. Even a 5.7 Ram will stomp a Toyota... and that's not saying a lot. Highway passing isn't bad but off the bottom it's a dead fish. 5bba9ed986dba3460141054d13346b04.jpg

Good riddance lol.

You can't win today. They're all junk! They sucked us all in by increasing horsepower & improving suspension, but then cheaped out on everything around them. Doesn't matter what brand - they're all the same these days.

    • 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?   
    • Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
