No gap, be nice about Binki. He served with me on my last deployment to AFG. A child sent me a care package, Binki was inside. He was my Scout, FireWatch, ammo runner. I've had him for five years, still has AFG moon dust, and some sand left in him...

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.

1,950, but that did include full glass, taking the wheels off and doing all the suspension, wheels, and calipers, and a full interior protection. Only part I didnt do was the bed cover or bed itself.   I hear it really varies depending on location.   This is also the 3rd vehicle they have done for me so I got a pretty good discount. It includes full paint correction and deep cleaning of everything, even between the rear springs, before coating it since it is permanently bonded to your paint after they do it.  But man I love how slick it makes it and how the water and dirt come off so easy.  Looks freshly waxed everytime I go through the touchless wash.

Got the driver assist handle installed at the dealership hoping it wouldn't have the gap issue with the headliner others have reported when doing it themselves, but turns out it must just be how that part was designed.  Not bad but a little annoyed I paid 20 bucks for them to do it and it still isnt really perfect.
 
The last picture is the passenger side handle which has no gap for comparison.   If anyone knows how to get that gap to go away please let me know, otherwise I'll just live with it since the handle still seems perfectly sturdy and functional.

I had the accessory  grab handle added to my 15, no gap. I took it off and used it on my 18 and there is a little gap.  Maybe a function of headliner shape or reuse....I don’t know.  Barely noticeable but I know it’s there.

Bought one, installed it on my 18, noticed same little gap, completely forgot about it till now that you’ve brought it up lol. It’s very common, happened to me on my neighbors 14 too. A couple days later you’ll completely forget about it, looks good to me, good job!

Tested out the new foam cannon... had to do the wife’s too. Used the chemical guys citrus. Pretty happy with it - will go for more gloss next time but gives it a really good “clean” look when all dried off.

Really love how the ceramic coating makes the rain look too.

Just received my front and rear Bumbershellz this morning. Too bad I have to wait till spring to install (temps too cold for tape to adhere correctly). Thanks to @Waterfowler41 and @Skeeter McSkeet for the info and honest reviews of Bumpershellz.bumpershellz.thumb.JPG.7a377b102df97ed6c6d2c0923a435ac4.JPG

My 5100's came in the other day and no rain today so I went to install, but then I noticed the rust(after 4 years and 33k miles)...

This is gonna take awhile and yes, it's as fun as it looks! I'll spray everything down with Krown rust protection when I'm done.

About a week in total. Had the truck for 5 months today. 

1.Put a leveling kit on 2.5 in the front 1" rear rough country. The one where you disassemble the strut. Kind of pain put it rides decent.

2. Full IGL ceramic treatment to the truck and fuel wheels.

3. This morning by friend did a norcal on my my front inner fenders. 

4. Few hours ago we installed and aligned my new fuel Tritons 22x12 with 33" tires.

Does it rub at all after the norcal mod? I'm getting ready to do my 2015 Silverado 1500 in a couple of days. Any advise would be appreciated.

      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.

      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?
