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

Look it up, people are using this shit on vehicle far more expensive then our trucks. I was at a car show a few years ago and there was a brand new M5 BMW plastidipped some god awful baby blue…

 

I personally hate the stuff…

 

And Maineman I think your truck looks great and I'm glad you had the balls to commit to that paint job… I may have missed it in all the nonsense, but what are the rest of your plans for the truck…

Are you running a level? No rubbing?

 

Looks great. Do you have any side pics?

2.5 inch level. Stock rear blocks. With regular driving it slightly rubbed one time.

Or I'm aware that I could just order black bumpers and swap em out, money for the paint can be saved, with patience anything is attainable.

 

 

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.

 

 

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

I'm not being hateful, truck looks great, I just really don't think its painted. You should snap some pictures of the door jambs though.

Ok, we'll accept that you had it painted if you provide name and phone number of shop that did the work, a copy of your receipt showing how much you paid, and, if available, video of the work as its being done. LOL

Damn, everyone hating on Maineman's truck just because he chose to go outside of the box and get the truck painted. What's wrong with the matte black? I think it looks good, though I personally wouldn't do it myself but I still think it looks good. His is one of the very very few I've seen where the owner has decided to go and make a change in something as big as color. 99% of trucks on this forum have been one of the stock colors, no need to hate just cause he chose to go with something that wasn't offered and had to be done after purchasing. It's just like the aftermarket add ons that we have added to our trucks. Some like to be taller, some stay the same, some drop it low and there's no many more options that could be mentioned. Hell, that's one big thing that this forum is for, to show off the modifications that we all choose to do to our trucks and to help out other members if they come to the forum to ask for advice or questions or anything! Yes I realize everyone here is just stating their opinion but no need to make them all hating comments, it's his truck, his decisions to do what he wants. And what would he gain from lieing about whether it's painted or not? He said its painted so why not just believe its painted.

Also, what's so wrong if it was plastidip? (Yes I know it's not but even if it was, dipping is still a legitimate way to change the color just like wrapping with vinyl or a real paint job, different strokes for different folks!)

 

To Maineman:

Nice lookin truck man, it's not my personal taste but it looks good!

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.

last night I watched a marathon of North Woods Law on Animal Planet -- all those guys working the backwoods of Maine drive the GMC Sierra. Just an observation.

I think we owe Maineman an apology. One at a time we're all going to apologize to him and tell him we believe he painted his truck and then we'll tell him how good his truck looks and how we think he is special for painting his truck while we settled for the factory colors. LOL.

Nothing too major, I'm going to do the usual, Spray on bedliner, tonneau cover, some 18s wrapped in 33s, recon lights, black high country front and rear bumpers, switch out anything that's chrome. And some 10in subs

You should create a build thread for your truck if you haven't already! Also check out the NVXVCW10 subs. That's what I got. 2 under the back seat and they are great. They hit hard enough for me to feel like they compete with my old Rockford Fosgate T1 12s

Yeah, I have to agree with Wendy on this one - I've worked in a high end decal/wrap/tint shop for over 6 years. That unit is definitely dipped or wrapped - My money is on wrap. I can spot a wrap a mile away.

Sometimes two miles on a clear day.

      Gas fill door

      By newdude · Posted

      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?
