That's awesome and looks like you had a great time!! I hate being a Displaced Texan one of these days I'll get to move back home.

 

Wife and I floated the Frio River in Texas this past weekend. Absolutely gorgeous and the water was flowing nicely. She caught a pic of me coming back over the low crossing.

That looks very good. The spacers add a perfect width to your trucks stance.

Looks good! Any rub with that added width?

Almost looks dangerous. I wonder how many trucks have slid down the ramp? Cool pic but "better your truck than mine" lol.

It's a well traveled crossing. There's a few along the Frio. Water isn't running that fast and it's only a couple inches deep.

I am new to the forum and this is my first truck purchase ever. I am coming from a 2011 Mazdaspeed3, but I needed a little more room for the fishing and hunting gear.

 

I just picked up 2015 LT Z71 Custom Sport.

Hey y'all. New to the forum here. Lovin everything I'm seeing so far. Just picked up my new 15 silverado midnight edition with a couple different options. Still waiting on the borla exhaust. Should b in this week at dealer. Did S&B intake and wrapped front end with xpel ultimate and coated entire truck with cquartz finest. What all y'all think ?​attachicon.gifIMAG0216.jpg

How much for the xpel? I am looking at getting my all terrain bumper only done, but with 3M wrap. Hook up price was $200

 

Any opinion which product is better xpel or 3m? I have never used a protective wrap before and it is for a black truck too

 

Just had my bumper repainted along with some other work done. Dealer did the bumper for free at least, had many rock chips

I found that the 3m wrap is a hair more visually unappealing. Meaning, I think it may be a little thicker so u can notice that it has been installed. Unless u get a full hood wrap. I think the xpel did a better job at concealing it's even there. As far as protective properties, their both great quality. Not one better than the other. But the xpel dries water better and is little more resistant to scratches and coloring. I got a full front bumper kit including partial fender and side mirrors and also partial hood wrap for $1000. Hope that helps.

I'm jealous, nice truck!

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