i know...but its nice to dream...

 

and as for the 8 speed testing, with that fuel efficiency i can see why theyre dropping the two-mode hybrids. any idea what the city numbers are?

 

18.

i think the 6 speed is great but an 8 speed? really?

 

i have no idea but can someone explain how an 8 speed would be better?

 

i really hope they put that new ipad thing that's in the new cadillacs in the new style trucks

 

Each GM brand has its own version of the Cue system and they will all evolve as time goes on.

 

Considering that the Chevy My Link system is in almost every 2013. Chevrolet model, I'm sure it will be in the new trucks.

I cannot believe Gm was going to release that poor interior stuff. I hope they get it right or GM will fail. I am hoping more information comes out soon.

That's not the next gen truck. That is a gmc hd custom from about 2 yrs ago

Not cool that the engineer that leaked the photos got fired but he did save GM's face when they went back to the drawing board after the less than positive reception to the leaked shots. Worth the product delay to get a decent dash.

 

You are correct, if GM does not get it right, it will fail...again.

 

 

You're so damn stupid, how are the 900s a failure when they continue to be competitive and outsell Rams much newer design and keep pace with Ford as well? When you break it down by class, GM sold more half tons in 2011 than Ford did, even with their "wonderful" new engines. And again, put up or shut up about this GM info. If an engineer got canned they had it coming. Anyone in that position signs a non disclosure agreement and they know the penalties of violating it.

Enough chill out, lets respect others opinions. Back on topic

Have we seen ANY actual evidence that

 

A) the leaked dash was real and not covered in some way or a test mule dash

B) GM has actually delayed the trucks to 2014 now

C) that any GM engineer was fired related to A or B?

 

This all sounds like rumors that got way out of control.

Please stop crying out with your personal attacks and get back on topic. This is not the post to discuss the failure of GM's past product line that bankrupted the company. We are discussing the K2 trucks here. The very product that will determine if GM files bankruptcy again or can become independent of the government for day to day operations.

 

 

I'll ask again- proof of ANYTHING you've said so far in here? I'll ignore the horseshit you spew about GMs "failures" but I'm sure everyone else here would love this info you claim to have on the new trucks.

      Gas fill door

      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.

      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.

      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?
