Installed some Raybestos gear today, EHT pads and RPT rotors up front. Rears some other time.

We’ll see how this rust proof coating works!

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

Drove it up in the mountains today 4 1/2 hour trip up and down 3% to 6% grade hills and found out about the hill grade braking I did not know the truck had but it did great my wife had to tell me to slow down a few time so when I looked at the speedo I was around 95ish

Keep us updated on how these hold up. I usually use raybestos advanced technology but the RPT are half the price. You’d think the coated ones would be more expensive.

Bought them on rock auto and used one of those 5% coupon codes. Couldn’t beat the price. The pads get really good reviews. I’ll circle back after some snowy weather. Anxious to see how these handle salt.

Bought my first camper. 2003 Salem Le. It’s not the best but for a 22 year old, id say it works! Towed it a mile home but loved how the truck moved it. First time I’ve towed anything remotely heavy besides moving our snowmobile trailer around the yard. 38c378f7af24c697274f67d25cffc430.jpg890e06717f1274f28d0b24f192a36f3a.jpg

Washed and clay barred. Today is wax and full detail. Normally I’d do a machine polish but the paint is surprising swirl free even after a 115k miles so I’m not gonna worry about it this time.

I added Bilstein 5125 shocks to the rear of my Zone 4.5" lifted Sierra. I had the Zone Nitro shocks but they were about as bad as the Ranchos.

 

The Bilsteins are awesome. The front will be next but I'm not sure if I will go 5100 or 6112(if they ever release). With the strut tower extension I can run any stock length strut, while the rear required a custom length.

Installed my custom tune from Lew last night and holy crap what a difference!!!  I had been running the canned 87 Diablo tune for a couple of weeks and thought it was pretty good over stock.  I ran a log and sent it to Lew yesterday at 3:54pm.  At 4:07 he sent me back his custom tune.  I had to run to the store last night to get some meds for my son so I figured I'd install it real quick and run to the store.  As soon as I pulled out of my alley I knew instantly it was better.  Anyone on the fence about getting a Diablo tuner and a custom tune DO IT!!!!   Lew is great to work with and apparently knows his shit.

Don't hold your breathe on the 6112's

They are as elusive as a Unicorn  :lol:

2 years 2 months and 18 days of parking as far away from other vehicles as possible to avoid nicks and ended up doing this myself with the wand at the car wash.  :sigh: (at least I no longer have to worry about when I'll get the first nick!)

Also did the "cargo light on with reverse lights" mod. Only took a couple of minutes with a 99 cent diode and hopefully it will help with the crappy  picture from my backup camera at night. Next I'll do the LED conversion on the backup lights and cargo light.

      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?

      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
