What do u mean didn’t come with corner protectors? I have 2014 but it’s not the original bed had bed damage from by tail light and rear wheel well area so they swapped my bed before I bought it bought from the auction fixed then sold to me

The newer models came from the factory with black plastic stick on cab and front lower bed corner protectors. Earlier K2s did not.

Any of you 2016 and up owners know what i am talking about or have pictures of yours on the truck?

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

Mine has that piece I think ? yeah it does, so my bed might be from a 2016? It also has the factory cargo light in the bed

They will fit any K2 so it is possible your bed is newer or they were stuck on after the fact LOL

Well the bed was swapped I asked my friend if he knew what year it was from he didn’t remember but that good to know I doubt he added them just to add them, he doesn’t like to add aftermarket stuff to the trucks he sells (unless it already been done before he’s purchased it)

UPS dropped this off for me while I was at work today! Air bags going on the truck tomorrow after work and the light bar this weekend.

Took the horrible plastic "shield" off and put actual skid plates under the truck!  I had ripped the plastic guard and I take my truck off the pavement quite often.  It's crazy that a 4x4 truck does not come with metal skid plates and has a plastic 'shield" under there!

Ordered the GM parts off Ebay.  Three piece kit that came with the differential plate as well.  I feel a lot better now going off pavement.

I need to do the same thing. Do you know the GM part number for these?

Yes, the kit part number is: 23176881

This is the ebay listing that I ordered from.  Came in original GM packaging.  It's a dealer in Panama City, FL.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/271607751458

This is the two piece that will replace the plastic guard and then the transfer case shield as well.  Make sure the kit comes with the tapered bolts.  The holes for the transfer case plate are not threaded already and you need the bolts from GM to work properly.

I never though I’d swear at a little piece of vinyl so much.... I have a new found appreciation for people who wrap cars. ac64107641e413ffc593c76767420ed4.jpge9ee9b879cb3f40eb18ffe03aec9bfd6.jpg

Mix a solution of water and dawn soap. Just enough to make a little suds. Spray that on both surfaces. It'll go on with ease with no bubbles if smoothed of from the middle.

Tried that, unfortunately the curve at the top of the trim and the thickness of the vinyl were working against each other. I’m guessing that works better with thinner vinyl that bends a little easier.

      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.

      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
