Put in a completely new exhaust, all from speed engineering.

Long tube headers
ARP stainless header bolts
X-Pipe, No Cats
3” True Duals
Straight through dual “mufflers”
Axle dump
New plugs (ACDelco)
New wires with fiberglass boots

The truck sounds like an absolute beast with this set-up. I’m adding dual Borla Pro XS mufflers to quiet things down a little.

Seriously you post this without a sound clip lol !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know, I know. Lol! I’m working on it. Gonna use a a Rode microphone to see if I can get a better representation of the sound rather than the typical smartphone clips you see. If I can get the iPhone to capture what it truly sounds like I’ll post it up today. I love it! It sounds so sick! But, as a daily driver with a young kid, it’s too much. Normal acceleration when the light turns green, just to keep up with other drivers, sounds like I’m making a run down the drag strip.

YES!! Hell yah!! Man I wish I could hear that in person

Not today, but not long ago, added some chrome (and red) accents, probably a few more coming for the interior:

Slow Friday so covered the mirror caps with vinyl.

That looks sharp, very factory looking. I take it you did it inside, where it was warm.

Thanks for the feedback.  I didn't bother pulling it into the garage to remove the caps which ended up being a mistake as i broke one of the clips.  In a bit of a cold snap and it was -21°c, the caps had a sheet of ice on them that I had to throw them in the sink of warm water to melt it all off.  There is no way you could of wrapped them outside the vinyl would be way to brittle and would just end up ripping.

 

Thinking I may do the B- pillars next just to get some more carbon on the outside.  Also considering doing the side plates on my sports bar.

A man from my own heart, lets impatience steer the boat to get stuff done, not even sure how cold -21C is, but it did not stop you. I am not sure about the pillars, seems like a bit much, maybe put it on loose at first just to get a feel for how it would look?

About minus 6 Fahrenheit but still too dang cold ?...if I didn’t have my window visors I’d probably give it a shot!

How did you do it - plastidip, vinyl?

    • 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
