The truck is PAINTED. I wouldn't insult you guys' modifications integrity So respect mine. And no I'm no paint tech, no it's no plastic dipped, no it's not wrapped.

Might be painted as Well

Sorry when i said that i had not scrolled up to see your original post. I think everyone gets it now

Yes really, I was asking if he actually spent the money and had it properly painted or if he cheaper out and pull on a coat of peel off paint… Plastidip is not a proper paint job, it's an I can't commit to my decision paint job…

If he actually painted it and committed, then I'm impressed. But, if it's plastidip, then it's

 

Who in their right mind would rattle can paint their entire brand new truck?

I love it and that's the problem with posting on forums. Someone will hate and tell you what they'd do. Id almost guarantee that someone soon will TELL you to remove the air dam lol. If I could afford to repaint mine I'd match it to my harley. Flat black and black pearl. Good job bro, post pics when it's all done. I'd like to see it. Edited by boricua2480

Will do, I love these trucks and Never seen backlash like that before

Your truck looks great! :thumbs: It's what boricua2480 said. Negativity on forums is very common and it becomes contagious. Hope you're enjoying your new truck... I know I am. And I'm with you: I love these trucks! :cheers:

It's crayon Lol.

Hey maineman... you didn't know you were so popular. You've only made 15 posts, yet you have 350 profile views!!! Wow! (I'm one of 'em) :lol:

Open Country at2 295/60r20. Ride is great. Sound is great. Looks are great. No complaints.

Are you running a level? No rubbing?

 

Looks great. Do you have any side pics?

Pretty sure that 's just a wrap

 

 

I bet he works at a graphic decal place or something similar. Matte paint on a vehicle as big as a truck would be wayy up there in $$$$. And I've seen some plasti-dip cars but the finish is never as good as a wrap. Looking at the sheen on the guys truck and the quality of the finish I'd bet is a wrap. My guess is that if it would of been painted the bumpers would of been taken care of the same time. Would of been odd to spend all that time, prep work and money to just paint pumpers some other time.

Did you miss the SEVERAL posts where the owner of the truck said it was paint?

    • 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?
