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

May I ask a question for those with 40k plus miles? How many trans pan drop and or flushes have you done by that mileage? Thank you.

Got rough country light bar kit installed even with my grille shutters. Just finished my switch writing this morning so will test the light out tonight. Happy with the end results! 4ddc65a51a536f6d47e0b75856f84f1a.jpgb9805d1a5b90845f650a827c6994c0eb.jpgc17f89d8e4b5a36c14f50bbb205b1342.jpg

Did mine at 48,000 miles ( Front & Rear , transmission  , transfer case ) . I know have 86,000 miles on the truck , will do my next flush with next oil change  at 89,000 miles.

Oil/filter and plugs. By way, for anyone interested, Walmart has the Mobil1 0w-20 5qt jugs for $22. Also, Advance Auto is offering a $3 rebate per plug if you buy 4 or more.

I only buy my oil from Wally World. Nobody else sells Dexos cheaper. It should be illegal for places like Oreillys to sell it so high.

75k on my ‘14 Z-71 and have yet to do one. I check the fluid every oil change and it’s still nice and red and doesn’t smell burnt. I may consider a flush/fill when I hit 100k. My truck is 50/50 city/highway miles.

Rides 10 times better wish I would’ve done this earlier


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mine came with the factory Rancho’s and rides like a dream. So I wonder how much better of a ride I could get with new shocks myself?

Followed the church buses to youth camp going 55-65 mph for 5 hours with one stop. Got 29.3 mpg on the trip. That’s crazy to me with a bed full of stuff and 3 people in it.

I have 73k, bought 800 miles ago. Within a week I replaced diff, transfer case, and trans fluids/filter.  Original trans fluid was brown, but not burnt.  Magnet didn’t have any more shavings than I’d expect at my mileage.  I personally won’t do a true flush (reverse, or with cleaning agent) and don’t feel like disconnecting the cooler lines to pump out/in, especially with that mileage; however, I do a slow mix-over by draining/filling every few hundred miles for 1000 miles or so, and get the fluid cherry red again. It’s not a perfectly complete fluid swap but close. I’ve rehabbed 150k mile transmissions with metal mountains on their magnets this way with great results, so that’s what I’ll be doing. I did drill a hole in my pan and weld a home-made castle nut inside to accept a drain plug, though, because the exhaust is a PIA.

So I did a few things to the trucks first off I did the mod of getting the cargo lights to come on when I reverse and I got this message 86228c2bb0ae9b12044e59df8bdd0e2f.jpg

Next I got a leather dash hump for the black truck

I'd go completely insane driving anywhere, following anything for 5 hours at 55-65mph! ?

Never posted Pictures of my truck, so here's a few. 

 

Recently did the Denali Cluster, Amp powersteps, hellwig bars and Falken Wildpeak AT3's. Waiting on the 6112's to come in.

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

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      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.

      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?
