Everyday driving not much of a difference.   I do feel less chatter and the truck feels a little more planted on the road.  I did take it on some dirt roads this weekend and that'a where you really feel the difference.
Right on bud![emoji106][emoji817] its good to hear from folk who drop that coin on king and ion.

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

Just got my truck leveled. I have the Eibach Pro Truck lift kit. New shocks all around with there new coils in the front as well. I have it set on the bottom notch on the front shock and that gives a 2.5" level.

To go with it I have a set of Kryptonite UCAs as well. Rides great so far. Everything is already grimey with road salt in the new pics since we just got some snow/ice yesterday.

Now I have to get some wheels and tires to finish it off. Thinking 295/70/17 on some methodsc2339e82949d808c5fce90a8945f6620.jpg82130c885dcb7dae55c68126a09d7a26.jpg7e11c2b0296ac15eb5c426304c2ecb3e.jpg

Hello Why do you install UCA, is for 2.5” lével? I bought the same kit Eibach and I will be install the next week and I am studing the alternative of bought the UCA, what advantage do you considered with this,

A few months back, I made a whoopsie and backed into a tree. Dented up my bumper a fair amount. Even dented the hitch. Luckily the tailgate was spared from my wrath.

Thought about an insurance claim, but that was $1,000 for my deductible. I figured there had to be a cheaper way.

Found a brand new bumper on carparts.com and finally got it installed yesterday. Minus a very tiny crack on the black plastic(just to the right of the license plate under the spare tire tube) it looks pretty much like OEM. And it only cost me $550ish and about 90 minutes at a buddy’s house on his lift.

Installed maybe 1/4 of the cupholderhero stuff. There are so many pieces. So many cubbies in the k2 ?

 

don’t pay attention to the crack in the arm rest :(

Mine was cracked in the same spot, guess you rest your elbow there too, and I got a replacement off eBay really cheap and it looks great. Easy to swap out too, took maybe an hour total, and that was going back and forth for tools and beer. :)

Say what?!

I haven't replaced my OEM battery on my 17, but I did on my 14 and I didn't have to remove the reservoir. Just the brace bar and that junction box thingy on top of the battery.

My 17 is identical in procedure.

weird there was no way the battery was coming out without moving the reservoir

I'm not doubting you, I had to stand on an igloo cooler to reach the damn thing and it took some wrasslin, but I don't recall the reservoir being in the way.

Way more complicated than I'm accustomed to on past Chevy trucks.

Although I've changed a battery in a Cadillac full size sedan that required removing the back seat.

maybe yours was the 48 instead of the 94?

      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

      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?
