Added katzkin seat covers this week. I am very happy with the fit.

Are those padded?

.. took the pup to the vet for his last set of vaccinations today.. glad I invested in a waterproof rear seat liner.. poor little guy got sick on the ride home..  payed for itself x10!

(.. no the pic is not from today)

Good looking puppy!

 

What breed, and what is his name?

Hope he’s feeling better. What pad is that and how do you like it. I need to purchase one as well.  

Thank you

Snowcamo no they are not padded. The photo was taken right after installation that wrinkle has since disappeared.  I’m also selling my wet okole Neoprene seat covers if anyone is interested.

Fixed the chipping paint job on my front grill and headlight covers. Used plastidip since I do a lot of highway driving around construction zones and it just peppers the front end.

Also tinted the turn signals while the covers were off. Thinking about getting some knifeless tape and tinting where the DRL and amber side marker are.

Looks great. I’m pleased to see it does not greatly reduce the intensity of the light. What product did you use?

Taking my 18 Sierra to the dealership to have the frame rusting issue fixed (hopefully). Truck has 5300 miles on it and frame, shocks etc starting to really rust. Not a fan...88733750e933ddf49fec3b3abb1cab0f.jpge6ee8e5f0431307827cdf69476fdb7ba.jpg

Thanks.. mom was black & tan coon hound and dad was blue tick.. his name's Remington.. now just need to get him to stop treeing the family cat lol!

Well dealer called me about my frame. I guess the dealer is going over the entire truck now with a full analysis. Checking every bit and bolt in the process so they can send off everything to GM on what to do to proceed to fix the rust. Guess they found a lot more then the pic I posted it sounds like ...also they were starting to tear down the truck late afternoon.  Should I be worried?

If they're going to treat the frame with rust inhibitor and correct the issue, no.  If you are getting a new frame... different story.

 

It took 5 tries for the Tech's at my dealership to road force balance my tires correctly, not sure I'd want them doing a frame off.

I don’t know what they are going to do yet. I won’t hear from till either late this afternoon or tomorrow unfortunately. If they do a frame replacement should I just fight to get a new truck at that point?  All the trucks I’ve had over the years I’ve never had this kinda problem with GM

    • 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
