What’s that white stuff on the ground? It was 95° here in Southern California today [emoji23]

Added these stripes to the front fender. Shes dirty as I wasnt expecting to take any pics. The stripes turned out better then I thought so I figured I'd share. 565f1a5554af9d494542a9e1d1cc8741.jpg3f57432d5031cfdfa1109029abaf41aa.jpg

Thought someone might enjoy this quick vid of my musical air horns and rebadge, did them about a year ago.

2018 LT Z71 CC [emoji1786] waiting for these tires to wear down so I can get me some A/T. 0d3718d8ca8b180617eabd6a6d9d76ce.jpge6c503ecf9fa4697c9265f1ab156334d.jpg047b024934747fc21f4b2f180ea8414b.jpg

I'm new here I have been reading here for 3 weeks. My truck I bought out of desperation had just wrecked my 2002 Chevy truck which I loved. Never once did that truck let me down not once and it had 171000 miles. So I bought this 2017 black on black as close as I could get to my 02, leather, tow package. I just have never loved it. So now I'm going to order a 2020 like I want it more like what I had just more tech out. And I will be trying to sell my 2017 with 34000 miles on it. Should I get near what dealers are asking? or near what Kelly's blue book says? or am I going to take a bath?  I paid before tax $49671.00 and I know what I paid has little to do with what I will get now.

Well...there’s a whole lot of inventory out there at the moment. And at the price you paid folks may want the new body Silverado instead. Plus the loan to value may not work out for a potential buyer as not many people are not going to pay cash for a $50k truck. I think If you are he’ll bent on ordering a 2020 then your only option is to trade it in. I’d try and work the deal with the same place you bought this one just to see if they can offer any loyalty credit.

I have some of those numbers on trade in. The dealer has 2 of them on his lot both 2017 both loaded one with 55000 mile one with 28000 they want $33500 for one and $37000 for the other. On mine they offered me  $30000.00 you can already see how much they are going to make selling it. I'm retired and the 2020 Truck maybe my last truck. in 5-10 years I won't need a truck anymore.

So is $30000 al I'll get I  own the truck outright no loan. $20000 bath in 2 years that's going to sting some for awhile. But thanks for your opinion

Yeah...a $20k loss on a new truck is not good at all. Under those circumstances I agree a private sale may be the best option. After the insulting offer you got from the dealer I’d look for a parking place across /next to them and leave it for sale on weekend days. Make a big sign that says “4-SALE $5k less than dealer.” Lol.  .... I laugh but I’m not really kidding. ?

....With that much of a deficit I might even consider putting bigger wheels and tires on it to get some attention.

I thought I had already posted a photo, but I guess not. I traded in my tired and rusty old 2004 Silverado and bought this 2017 Double cab Z71. The miles were a little high for a 2017, but certainly not bad at 29,800 (build date 6/23/2017) I wasn't sure I wanted another black truck, but when my wife saw it, she said it was the one. Its not loaded with options, but does have the All Star Edition options package. I've had it for about 3 weeks now and have added a Line-X bed liner, tonneau cover, window tint, mud flaps, catch can, front/rear black bowties, DiaboLEW tune (still working in that 150 miles) and a few smaller things.
It's like night and day compared to my 2004, in a good way!b1e189b9ac2f225dab35dced03d72bac.jpga74d6a77e90e121ba6eb31a22c8a3267.jpg

New to the forum, figured I’d post some pics of my 2017 Sierra All Terrain X. These are from when I picked it up

    • 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?
