Got my truck all polished and waxed yesterday just in time for today's rain and potential snow flurries overnight. :wacko:

Appears to be a GMT-400 cab.

 

Let's see today I got free lunch due to veterans day. I had my battery tested and it tested bad. So I changed it hoping it would be my problem. And nope. Still having issues

Sarah do your calipers show?

 

Yea they do it is an awesome accent

 

That cab is my bros 96 that got totaled

What issues are you having?

Is start the truck and it would say battery not charging but have 14v. Then when I get above 10 MPH it would say service brake booster. My old red top tested bad today. Warranty expired 11/3/2012. So I bought a yellow top. Battery not charging message went away but still get service brake booster.

 

I'm going to call Nations Auto Electric tomorrow since I bought the alternator from them. Just pisses me off that I put $700 in to it and this happens plus the amp fuse blew

Every once in a while my gauge cluster acts up and the display says " service 4wd" then goes away..

Drove back to school... really loving the Magnaflow, it's getting broken in and sounds better than ever. Loving the 3.73's as well, on my hilly drive it only had to hit 3rd once and came out of OD twice.

More reading and something hit me. Did 2500HD's with 6.0/4l80E have Hydro Boost? I know the clusters were programmed differently. My cluster was a junkyard revival with new stepper motors. Had them replaced twice. I believe I got a new circuit board once. Possibly from a DuraMax. I think I questioned they guy on it and he said the motors sweep according to the computer not what was on the face. The truck the unit came from originally had code JH6. It was a 4WD 2500HD 6.0 gasser. Could the cluster programming for the heavy trucks and it not possibly reading the supplemental brake assist module?

 

I'm sorry, I'm sick and on cold medicine so all I'm doing is laying here looking for answers. but that doesnt explain the amp fuse blowing at the same time. But it can explain the message

I may have shot my theory in the ass. If they have Hydro Boost, and they cluster was still programmed for that would it read the SBA and throw and error?

I would def think the voltage regulator would keep all that juice in check. Have you looked at the connector on the alt yet?

Yes I even reseated the connections

My rebuilt alternator went out so I had to install the one I had on this forum for sale, so its NFS now. Also my water pump that was put on last year started squealing today, it's going in on Wed for a new pump.

    • 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?
