It's the Forward Collision Alert light.

 

This--

I thought so, I was wondering if i could just use that trim piece to make my own heads up display. Would you mind measuring the dimension of the hole? And how deep is the collision warning lights. I like to see if it is even large and deep enough for mods Edited by morrislee

Hauled this precious cargo home for the first time from the NICU after 40 days!   Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

I installed this thingy on the top of my 2017 6.2L. Not really sure what it does, but my truck goes really fast now.

Found an hour of free time yesterday and installed GM - Illuminated Door Sills. Love the way they look! Of course, made a how to video. The box didn't come with instructions and tried searching he

Finished mounting the lights on the hood brackets. "Jeepy" for some, but I'm content :)

More moisture got into my fog light assembly because of the shitty LMZ collars separated. The metal and the plastic was suppose to be in one piece as a collar, but they originally broke off once already, super glued, now they broke again. JB welded the shit out of there now too. hopefully my headache is done from now :(

Just the $30 Amazon special haha

The ones I have hooked up underneath the rear bumper have been there for 7 months now and still fire up without skipping a beat (tapped up to reverse lights).... If anything is going to take a beating, it's something inches above the ground, in all kinds of weather and terrain... So I'd say that for $30, they've passed the test.

Coated mine in Aerospace 303 protectant and installed Husky X-Act's in front yesterday. Should have the rear's today and the under seat gearbox tomorrow.

My lights for my hood brackets came in today. Going to put them on tomorrow all I am waiting on is the switches I ordered to match the one for my light bar. I do need to go to Lowes to find some better nuts to mount these with to try and make it hard if anyone tries to take them off.

Not done too much too her since I am in the process of remodeling so my truck hasn't gotten much love besides finally wiring my tow mirrors up. I do have to say props to Lew and his tunes because now he has gotten my truck the power and MPG I love. Not bad at all for a truck with 7" of lift and 35s. Before anyone bashes that its fudged or whatnot this is so far with 5500 miles on this tune and I live in the mountains of TN here so theres no flat land coasting or much of being able to cost down hills as our mountains are literally up and down steep grades.

finally added a spinner knob, I had one in my Yukon and have been wanting to get another, since we got one for the boat last week, I remembered just how much it helped and picked one up on my way home from work CEE523F4-508F-44F4-B8AE-D56C4CB94C83_zps

I don't see how yall are getting averages of 18+ mpg. Must really baby them things. Especially yall with the 6.2. Maybe it's because I tow a trailer almost daily and I run mine like it's a Corvette lol

I was able to get 18 when I babied the hell out of it. This was before I had the exhaust done. Once I had it done my city MPGs dropped by 2 lol. It's like once I had it sounding like a truck I slowly went back to how I used to drive, but still not as bad though. I tend to be the jackass beside a smart car or Prius and cruise right beside them and then almost floor it. When I was young I used to mess with everybody no matter what they were driving and I couldn't stand someone just passing me. Luckily I've grown up when it comes to driving, but most of it is from getting a CDL so I respect driving now.

No really babying it at all. Mostly 65-75 MPH driving. I think its how you jump on the throttle to accelerate. On my "hey i needa go fast" days I average 15.5 MPG but thats like flooring it at all lights and passing people hardcore weaving in and out of lanes.

I even get 17 on the freeway and that's with a 6.2, 10" lift, and 38"s

I've been averaging 17.5 mpg lifetime, about 70% city driving and 30% interstate. 5.3 with 3.42 gears.

 

Also, today I gave her a spa day. Washed, detailed, waxed. Took me hours but it was well worth it. Of course it's dark and you can't see it, but I took a picture anyway :P

      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

      By jaszr2 · Posted

      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?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      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
