I've had the truck a little over a week and so far I've added:

 

Undercover Lux Elite bed cover

Tinted front windows

Flowmaster exhaust

Range AFM delete

Debadged tailgate and Z71 stickers

 

This Saturday I will be getting remote start installed and vinyl wrapping the bowties.

I could be wrong, but, I think he means the light bar that mounts in the bed. Makes the truck look like my old Avalanche.

Not a thing lol.

 

Dropped it off at the dealer Monday to have the TC replaced. Called me late Monday to say it wouldnt be ready until Tuesday. Called late Tuesday to tell me the TC was finished however they broke an exhaust clamp that is very fancy and had none to replace with, so they had to bring it in from Montreal :shakehead:. Hope to have it in and installed today. sigh.

Finally put some deadener on the transfer case module to quiet down that high pitch I can hear in 4wd auto. Not pretty, but hopefully it works. I’ll test it on the way to work in the morning.

.. ok since Halloween is now over and the snow has already hit the ground it's time to dress the truck for the Christmas season

Drove the truck in auto 4x4 today. The high pitched noise is 70% gone!  Makes a huge difference if anyone is experiencing the same noise.

Installed a Bully CR-007A Tail/Brake Light Hitch Cover, after I modified it to only be a Brake Light.  Unfortunately, I had to add a 12" 4-wire extension to reach the 4-pin socket.  This little modification could have been as easy as just cutting the brown wire, but I wanted both elements in the bulb to light up when the brakes are applied.  Took a little bit of work, but I was able to get it done.  I'm going to rewrite the instructions and all in my photo album, soon.

Got it home from the dealer. Torque Converter replacement done and shes butter smooth now. 

 

However I got in this am and no headlights. wtf? pop hood, start looking at the hid kit, and I see the dealer must have unhooked the battery cables and never hooked the neg back up to the hid kit. sigh. Grab a wrench, quick install and I have headlights again :D

Where did you get that decal? And part # please.

Looks great

.. eBay

.. decal comes as a pair.. I was also considering placing them on the valve covers but didn't think they would last there so the engine cover won and I have extra for a license plate frame

Installed chrome horizontal grill bars from 2015 LTZ Z71 Custom Edition. I re-used my chrome grill surround.

    • 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.  
    • 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?
