I get sick of people telling me to just buy a new one. When it cost more to fix it then a car note then I will replace it

Right I'm to the point where I don't mention things anymore it's always the same story they make fun of me for not driving fast and doing burnouts but they insist that's how it broke now wtf? And if I mention a part name or the shop that I'm taking my trans to they try to get me to take it to someone that us known for doing things wrong. Ugh

It's much easier to just ignore people's advice unless you actually ask for it.

Had to leave my truck 180 miles back at school for thanksgiving cause she's to expansive to drive back home and back to school ! Can't wait to be back in the seat !

Holy Crap, how big is your truck? Its so expansive it can't go 180 miles? Are there a lot of bridges made only for smart cars? Or Is it attached to a double wide or something so it won't fit on even two lane roads?

Also depends on how often, also. It alarms me how A lot of people don't seem to pay attention to that. I've known people who pay a few hundred every few months on repairs and I'm just thinking "you could have bought a nice used car instead?"

Well I have paid that but it also comes down to I'm slowly trying to restore this truck. Long story but there is a lot of sentimental value in it

Putting some miles on this weekend with the snow. But sitting inside at work all weekend.

As long as nice GMT 800's are available that's what I'll have. All the things I want (dimming mirrors, steering wheel controls, auto AC) and none of the things I don't (AFM, traction control).

People laugh at me constantly at work because I drive an older truck... then on the internet because I own a few of them the automatic assumption is I can't afford a new one.... which is beyond laughable when the work truck makes $360 a day on its own. You just ignore it.... whether in real life or on here lol. If the new 6.2 actually performs I would maybe buy a new Silverado for work.... but not until they work out any bugs..... replace the 6L80E.... Put the 6.2 in the LT and SLE trim level with the max trailer package....allow a person to shutoff the traction control and stabilitrack at any speed......and that's about it. First three should be 2015... as hopefully adding the max trailer 6.2 to the LT and SLE trims like the older trucks happened in 2010 after initial release in 2009. Last one though is a deal killer unless something changes. Take your nanny garbage that does not work on a slippery cold icy road and shove it.... not tolerating that trash.

I leave it on when on snow or ice with the family on the highway. Otherwise I press and hold as part of the put the key in belt up and press and hold the traction control button. Sometimes sideways can be fun.

I have the newest truck out of alot of my friends so I can't figure out why they need to say the things they do..

 

My truck has everything but traction control id rather not have it I learned to drive the old school way and don't want the help of electronics.

      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.

      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
