Level it! These trucks look great leveled (and IMO, even better when lifted!) I have a leveling kit on mine for the time being and I'm glad I do. Looks great

Thanks I definitely will do just can't swing if at the moment. How much does a 2" run typically. Going to get the fronts tinted this week and a car stereo place said to just add a kicker 8" hideaway under the seat and that would let my stock bose sing a little better and take the low end demand away . Not looking for that boom but when a deep bass note hits my doors rattle and sounds horrible. I guess if I level it these stock tires will not feel the wheel well either so black rims and 33s I'm at 2k there huh

Level kits only run around $500. Not too bad IMO. And I am still running stock tires and rims. 275/55/20 street tires on stock 20" chrome gmc rims. Looks good in my opinion. Tire is about 31.X inches. Fills out the well pretty decently. Once these wear out I will probably upgrade to 33s

Here's my 2014 would have posted sooner but had to wait 4 weeks for my Are Tonneau cover to come in. Just installed truxedo LED Lights in the box. I plan on having the tires turned black walls out at my first tire rotation.

nice truck with a beautiful background.

Finally get to post a pic of my new ride - loaded SLT All Terrain. I put a 2" leveling kit and some 275 65r22 Toyo Open Countrys on it. Looks great and I love it.

Did you remove the Color Matched A/T bumpers, if so this will be the 1st All Terrain Ive personally seen without painted frt/rear bumpers.

The Bose need break in time mine was boomy at first, but now that the speakers are broke in it sounds good!

I wasn't aware of that. Good to know.

Yeah my Bose sound great! Bose in the Vette sound terrible compared to the Silverado. Need a sub in the Vette. :D

I would be nice to add some some speakers out by the tailgate somehow with a cab switch to turn them on and off.

Maybe weatherproof Bose bookshelf speakers under the bed behind the rear bumper. :-))

Good looking set up. How do you like the tires? Did the 275-65 affect your mpg much?

    • 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
