I definitely need this with my lifted silverado. When I park in parking spaces it feels like I am about to drive over them then get out and theres four feet of room between me and the other car lol

Solution: always back a truck in. You look manly and you get it just right in the parking space

I always do when I can but heres times when I can't like those damn slanted one way parking lots or when theres a car on my ass wanting to take the spot I want and if i pull up far enough to back in the try and turn in to take it.

Towed a 2k trailer and then had some equipment on it making it around 3k total through the hills all day. About 275 miles from start to finish. She ran pretty good, but could definitely tell it was back there. I want a DMax! Lol

Well today I swap my 14 Sierra 1500 double cab SLE for a 15 Sierra Crew cab SLT. I had to order this truck from GMC because I wanted the max tow package for the mirrors, the standard box and Sonoma Red color so I can put the leer cap on from my previous truck. I have been waiting 5 weeks for this day to come and I feel like a kid on Christmas morning. Come on 2pm.

Received my new wheels and tires today! 35x12.5x20 Cooper STT's and 20x12 -44 offset Fuel Krank PVD Wheels!

Now just waiting on the McGaughys 7-9" lift! Tracking says Tuesday!!!

Ive only done slight things like redid the tail lights and removed the vent visors and uploaded a new tune and then used her to pick up my new mower but thats it.....

Truck looks sick, Steve. How's the tread life on those graps? I think I'm about to pull the trigger on a set.

I love the tread life on them. So far I have 22K on them and by how much tread is left I feel I can get 20-25k more miles out of them. I didn't expect to get that good of life out of a M/T tire but so far I'm very pleased with my purchase

did you color match your tow mirrors?

I think I just found my wheels when I decide to go aftermarket. They look damn close to the stock SLT's and I love the look.

    • 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?
