Drove it for the first time in 2 weeks to work due to impending snow on Friday. Glad I did because it started an hour before I left...gotta love living in the 'south' where people don't know what snow is or how to drive in it. It took me 3 hours to drive 25 miles all on the highway. Found out the Transforce HT tires are crap in snow too.

 

They still drive like that in PA in the snow. 20mph up the road. I have no idea why people drive in it if their scared to death.

I agree I live in the snow belt of ohio people still drive that way. 1st snow of the season is always like they have never been in snow before. Or when they figure out they need new tires

Has anyone done the door handle and mirror swap on the gmt 900s?

Yesterday was rainy and cloudy here, the pavement was really slick. I lit up my tires constantly when leaving lights/stop signs without even trying. Wonder how much longer these tires will last... :driving:

Been busy today up till I got called in to work. Got the mirrors done (hate em btw so def back to the tow mirror idea), did the 4 high mod to my lights, and started getting the rust off my frame so I can paint it soon after I put the body lift on.

Yes, super easy. Get a magnetic pickup tool or magnetic 10mm socket

Drove to work this morning in 4" of freshly fallen snow. Lots of fun I left the truck in 2wd.

Mine's been on, I still haven't fixed the fuel gauge issue. No $$$ :tear:

I'm pretty sure it's an o2 sensor if not ill be pissed

Drove to Ann Arbor today and yesterday for work. Thinking about going out for dinner. Microwave dinner or canned soup isn't looking good for today. All the remote start usage has eaten badly into my average MPG, along with doing mostly city driving now- 14.5 mpg last fillup.

Driving up to chesterfield Michigan tomorrow :(

    • 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?
