How do you like the 5000k color HID's? I'm running 4500K in my truck and LED fog lights but the fogs seem to have a slight tinge of blue to them. Thinking about swapping bulbs to 5000k, but how do they compare to the stock LED strips color wise?

 

Looks good without boards too.. I've been debating pulling mine off since I got the truck.

I really like the 5K. When they first start up the light output is quite blue, but once it warms up its a really nice white with a faint blue hue. Compared to the strips, I would say they are not as white as the LED's. I'll do my best to take a pic with my DSLR and try to capture the light output for you.

 

The valence trim looks perfect. I might just try this myself...and considering the cost to replace is roughly $100, it's not too bad of a hit if I mess up!

 

Now lets get to some serious business...take those running boards off already! :)

Looks really good, might have to try that with mine this spring! I'm just wondering where you decided to make the cut line.

Updated pics, looks better to me. I just used a sharpie and traced the crease that's already there and cut exactly along the line and just rounded the corners the same on both sides. I tried a couple different methods to cut with and found a JigSaw to be the easiest/quickest way. I filed any high spots down and cleaned up the edges after with an Xacto knife. Looks fine from 5' away, haha.

What's with all the Edmonton fellas and their black trucks, lol!

 

I swore to never go back to black after owning a black Lexus...my last truck was silver and was super easy to maintain...but damn the new Sierra's look good in black!

 

Dangerdick, you've got a serious rig there man. I love what you've done to it!

I feel ya brother, I was in Farley's getting some work done and there was nothing but black Denalis getting work done. Edmonton is the cities of black GMs

I'm usually in and out of Farley's once a week... I move most of Wheaton's vehicles for them on my days off from my real job.

Greg does all of there "custom truck's" ... and yah, a quick glance through the parking lot or even on there Facebook page is littered with lifted black Chevy's haha.

I also installed LED headlights/fog lights but haven't been able to take a picture where it actually depicts the correct color and brightness of them. I'm still working on that but love the output and color of them!

hdBAoO6.jpgI got around to bringing my camera down to the woods with me this past weekend so I figured I would snap a couple pics. Hope you guys like.

Just plasti-dipped that whole inner grille? I like but IMO I'd want something more permanent than that. Great looking though!

Thanks, it is just plasti-dip and I do agree but in my experience it is just about as permanent as you want it to be. I've had it on a vehicle for a year and a half without it ever looking any different than the day I applied it.

Here's my 2014 LT.

Tints, flowmaster super 40 duals, blacked out bowties, Cooper a/t tires in 265/70r17.

 

Plans are to put bilstein 5100's on to level, possibly a tune, and the red/black rally style grill. Maybe new wheels after she's payed off.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      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

      By jaszr2 · Posted

      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?
