I threw a set of Firestones in mine. Didn't have to touch the spare. Fairly easy install - did it on the dirt floor in my barn in the middle of winter.

 

I need to come up with a way to use the air compressor I already have to make them automatic fill - need to isolate the tank somehow. Hate to buy another compressor just for that, but that seems to be how they sell those. I ran the lines to shrader valves in the rear, next to the hitch.

'' Well it looked easy enough on YouTube''

 

Owner tried do repair his Denali cluster himself then gave up after pulling islands of the board.2016-12-21%2010.42.14_zpsjfqtalic.jpg

 

I ended up re-doing the whole thing since it had other failures.

Somehow USPS damaged my bumper reinforcement in shipping. Confused me since it is a big piece of hard plastic meant to take a hit. But Amazon decided to overnight a replacement since delivery of the "damaged" one wouldn't even be delivered. I'm hoping both bumper braces come tomorrow as well.

In my experience with Amazon sold car parts, it was either a "returned" and repackaged part, or they did it.

 

It took them six tries to get me four correct working struts/shocks.

 

When one was defective I had to teach them their own policy on defective car parts sold BY Amazon.com. their policy was to replace them themselves, they tried to tell me to deal with AC delco directly

That's why I just sent mine away, less hassel.

I might take mine to the car wash this week. Maybe. :happysad:

 

It's almost pure white with road salt. Never oiled it this season either. :nonod:

In my little shop today I was quite busy...

Started with the repair of a 2005 Envoy FOB ( 15008008 ) ant the aftermarket Auto Start he had for it.

Then sold and programmed 2 FOBs ( 15186200 & 15186201 ) for a 2003 Sierra

Then a 2005 Silverado HD diesel cluster in OEM colour. You can tell it's diesel by the 5K Tach, gas is 6K RPM.

The this guy brought all of the families key FOBs for repair for Christmas.

2006 Silverado ( 15186200 ), a 2005 Allure ( 22733523 ) and his daughters 2006 Malibu ( 15252034 )

Actually looking forward to some rain this weekend to finish the snow off and get the salt out of here so I can clean the truck and the Mrs.' ride up...well at least the truck, ha.

Bill how are you liking the 16 compared to the 900?

He always has the itch. I'm thinking we should start a pool to see which one he replaces first

Sounds like a fun time to me.

      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

      By jaszr2 · Posted

      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?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      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
