Not great pictures but here it is had to reply to three topics I had started regarding this truck ha ha ha. Rides nice and the lack of road noise is amazing!

My 2015 Sierra is called "Quicksilver Metallic". Is that the same color as Silver Ice? Looking to get touch up paint and I wanted to check first. Thanks.

Doh! That's what mine is too. Is it the same?

Easiest way is to check the paint code in your upper glove box. My 2016 silver is paint code 636R. I had to go get a Duplicolor touch-up paint gizmo so I had my paint code handy. I don't know what the 2015 silver color code is but you can check.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that Silver Ice Metallic and Quicksilver Metallic are the exact same thing. They just used different names for the Chevy and GMC models. I've never understood why there needs to be two "makers" like this. They are the exact same trucks, other than little things, such as certain accessories. The grilles are different, the light illumination colors on the dash consoles are different (blue in Chevy, red in GMC), etc.

Hope it's the same...or I guess I'm in the wrong thread! :)

 

Ha! If your truck is silver, then you are absolutely in the right thread - welcome! It would be fun to have people disclose why they picked Chevy, or why they picked GMC. Personally, if I was going to be hauling or towing things on a regular basis, I probably would have picked the GMC. I picked the Chevy, because the drive and ride, was the closest thing to what the old Caddy, Buick, and Lincoln boat-sized sedan cars used to be.

 

Test-drove the F150 - did not like it at all. Shocks/suspension was too rigid and the interior was too plastic-looking and frankly, ugly. Ditto for the Dodge Ram - not my thing. I did not even consider Nissan or Toyota. In addition, the cloth seats in the Silverado were easily the softest. Hell, the leather seats in the F150 were like concrete, terrible. In the end, I went with the LT, and have been adding/upgrading multiple things, which is cheaper in the long run, than buying the LTZ up front. Waiting for my Rally 1 grille to come in, and then will look into the perforated leather seats, next.

Honestly, I chose the GMC because I like the styling better and my buddy works at the local GMC dealership.

 

I think the ride is as Cadillac as any Chevy. These trucks are essentially identical underneath, so it probably is simply a styling thing.

 

I only asked for full tow package and silver (love silver - always looks good). I ended up with an SLE Z71 with quite a few bells and whistles. Coworker has a LS Chevy with minimal equipment and it is just as nice in my opinion.

The main reason I got the GMC is because of the deal I got on it. The incentives were better than the Chevy and since it was a demo they knocked a few more thousand off. The carbon fiber decals and black grille on the silver paint really stood out to me as well.

Will do, should be early next week, I think. It doesn't surprise me that the GMC and Chevy ride the same, they really are the same truck. Mine is not Z71, just straight-up 4x4. Not sure if the shocks/suspensions are that different? Mine is soft and springy as hell - when I go over a railroad track, hold on tight, because it goes up and down real high and low, as if in a boat. I like it that way, but we all have different tastes. Mine is the LT, with the Texas Edition package (called All-Star up here), which means it came with everything except cooled seats, the center extended console, and leather. I can add the cooled seats and leather at any time, but I'm glad I don't have the extended center console - my wife likes to put her purse on the floor there, and the extra underneath locked storage makes a great gun safe, lol.

Same reason for me and the Chevy. I bought it on new year's eve, which meant, not only the last day of the month, but last day of the year. The rebates I got were insane good, trade-in on my '07 Hyundai Sonata was good, etc. Plus, the Chevy dealership is directly across the street from the train station and I work in the Loop, downtown Chicago (yes, it's a sh*thole), it sucks. But, whenever I need stuff done on the truck, I can just walk across the street, still get to work.

2014 CC SLE All Terrain Sierra. Just purchased a month ago. Has G2 Bakflip, running boards, towing package, bed liner and tinted windows. Love it so far and look to put some new tires on once these wear out. Choose the GMC due to the styling, CC proportions vs competitors, and overall options for price. Opened. GM products before with no regrets but was not a fan of the prior generation styling and interiors. Happy with the purchase!

      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

      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.

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

      By jake111 · Posted

      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?
