Not the driveway, but the garage...nuthin' but the best for my cheap Chevies!

Our's seemed like it was running like a dog for a while until the PCV valve went bad, and the dealer replaced it. Now it runs better than it did new. The biggest problem I have is that if i'm in 5th gear I can put the gas pedal completely to the floor, and it will not downshift. Trying to wind it up to pass someone quickly I swear you would get killed in this thing if you relied on it to shift down into the power because it refuses to shift into anything below 5th unless I shift it manually.

 

I drove an auto cruze and know exactly what your talking about... glad i have a manual

Yea I think that if it didn't have the manual shift available on the automatic I would never drive it, she would do all the driving in it. Every time I drive it I use manual mode.

02 Silverado

09 Silverado

 

but at work (family business) we have three Express vans. Every Chevy we own is a workhorse!!!

Currently my 2009 GMC Sierra and wifes 2012 GMC Terrain.

My past vehicles are 81 Pontiac Trans Am, 84 Camaro, 91 Camaro, 84 Chevy pickup, 99Silverado, and an 04 Silverado.

My wifes past vehicles are 86? Buick Regal, 84 Camaro( same one as above, gave it to her when I updated to my 91) 90 something Lumina Z34, and an 02 Trailblazer.

 

GM all the way!

Currently, just a Sierra. But in years past have only owned GM vehicles minus one Dodge Ram in the 90's. Sure wish I had kept all of these minus the Dodge, & of the two dually's, the 07 is the one that never should have been sold.

 

Previous years list:

2007 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 LBZ Dmax

2004.5 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 LLY Dmax

2001 Pontiac Trans Am

2000 GMC Sierra 1500

1997 Dodge Ram 1500

1992 Chevrolet Silverado

1988 Dodge Daytona

1978 Pontiac Firebird

1978 Chevrolet Camaro

 

OK, when typing this, had forgotten about the Daytona.

Will have to try to dig some photos out of the old stuff

tonight.

Right now my wife has a 04 Pontiac Vibe and I have my 09 Silverado.

 

My wife wants to replace her car, but can't decide on a Terrain or a Honda CRV.

 

I am pushing for American, but she is finding more options with lower prices on the foreign cars.

 

I don't think i am going to win. :fingersx:

    • 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?   
    • 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
