It's easy but takes a little time. There's a bunch of posts on it.

12+ pop rivets, a few screws and some gentle "**** I hope I don't break it" pulling

When you installed you light bar above where the front plate goes. Did you have to cut the plastic behind the light or did it fit without cutting a hole.

 

I am lookong to install a light bar above the front plate cover on my 2015 denali but dont want to cut the plastic to get it to fit. Any advice would be appreciated.

I am looking to do an LED light bar above the plate also but was wondering how people installed it.

Wanted to test it and see if it worked but my tools arent around and my friend ony had limitedstuff to work with so i couldnt get the terminal off to hook up power.

 

Going on this weekend

I have a z71 grille no matter where i mount it one of the row of lights will be blocked.

 

I saw on others trucks as well the lights are blocked even though it still shines it defeats the purpose imo dont want to pay for it n they not be shining through completely.

Please let us know how the install goes and get some good pics. Haven't seen many with the z71 grill done. I am wanting to do mine as well. b272bc5f84636e12cd4f98d731d2ca2e.jpg

Any of you guys running a light bar on a Silverado near Princeton West Virginia? Pass a guy almost daily heading to work with one, figured Id see if you were on here lol.

I love it. Can't even tell when I turn the high beams on when it's on. Working on hooking it to my high.beams. It's wired to a 3-way switch now.

 

Did you ever get it working with the high beams?

anyone figure out how to mount a lightbar behind the grill on a '17 with the electronic flap things ?

 

its not possible or worth the hassle pretty much. i dont have one but given that out of all of the internet no one has it thats what i would go with

Help how tf do i get this front bumper piece off

Rc guide says its suppose to just pull off then undo the grille bolts, youtube vids they just pull the whole thing off then u do some bolts. Either way i feel like if i pull any harder im gonna break this damn thing, and ive already been pullin hard enough that im tired

    • 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
