Plastidipped the area between the side windows so it looks cleaner. Also dipped the Z71 and SIERRA emblems on the sides only and the chrome door molding. So now all that is black. Also removed the antenna completely. Haven't noticed any reception issues and I took the truck for a 2 hour drive tonight. Can't post pics right now for some reason but wish I could to show yall! Looks so much better.

EDIT: got a photobucket so now I can post this way434E86EB-883C-4E6F-B247-0E82C5AD4BBA_zps

Thanks man! I'm really liking the black/white/chrome theme I've got. I think the white diamond looks better with some black accents.

Omg these little things help me so much. My neck is feeling much better last 2 weeks. I put them on each side

where did you get those mirrors i really like them and would like to purchase them. If you could leave a link that would be great!

Auto Zone, walk in to get a oil filter and saw them. Like $3 each

Here's the latest thing I've done to my black CC Silverado. Added amber LED clearance lights to the OEM mirrors. I know the photo are too dark, I will take some photos during the day/evening.

What did you use to hold the clearance lights in place? I used a black plastic sheet that I then plasti-dipped to match the grill along with some 3M automotive tape. It looks clean, but I'm thinking of using something sturdier

If you have done something to your 14 and would like to share,please post here. Please don't post the How to in this thread.

 

Have a little time to install the tail gate light bar, replaced the bed light bulbs with led and install footwell led light..

 

Bed light replaced with this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/111217352865?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_1381wt_1181

They are super bright..

Not too bad for the price.

Enjoy!

Really like those footwell LED's that you installed. I plan on installing some as well except I will have them wired to the dome light, can't be that hard right?

 

I have just one question though- is the white that those put off equivalent to the soft white of the dome lights? Thanks and nice truck!

I had to make brackets myself out of black plastic sheet too, I cut the diamond/honeycomb shape just a hair bigger than the opening on the grill to attach it with locktite 5 second super glue. looks very clean but it's not "bolted on" to anything. I've had them on since a week or two after bringing it home from the dealership, no issues yet, still strongly glued and no sign of wearing off.

Thanks bro. Great minds think alike haha sick truck.

    • 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?   
    • 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
