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

I was going to take Pepper for a drive. Got a VERY nice day. I had rained the salt off the roadways.......

 

County had too much salt so, they salted the roads WHITE. Guess you have to use your quota to get more next year. What a way to run a ship. :mad:

Finally got that drive done Tuesday. Salt left the streets. About 370 miles to dad's and back. First time she'd been out of the drive, or even started for that matter, in over two months. Took about 25 miles to beat the tires round again. 😏 

 

Started up on the 10-year-old battery like it was new. One tire needed a few pounds of air. Started on a full tank. Filled at the midpoint not because I needed fuel but because it was $1.81 a gallon. Over a dollar a gallon cheaper than the station closest to home.  (E-85) 19.5 mpg for the trip. 

 

She needs a bath. It was a good day. Dad's a hoot.

Finally got around to washing it, first real wash since Spring 2023. Also rewrapped the emblems to black.

Finally swapped out the 9 year old stock 20s. They were ate up from the clear-coat getting compromised and moisture getting under it over the years. Put on some at4 18s, really happy with them.

No pics, but I finally did the 19+ 4 piston caliper and rotor swap. If you guys haven’t bled your brakes in a while, I recommend it. Both the rear caliper bleeders were seized. One stripped, and one snapped in half. My ez-out broke off in that too, resulting in the purchase of a new rear caliper. 🤦🏻‍♂️.

Do you have a link for where you got the parts for $170?

I did my 19+ brake upgrade for 330$ but that’s cuz I got used oem parts (rotors, calipers and pads) from my buddy’s shop. Use the same brake lines and 1/8 washers for each bolt to center the caliper.

Finished up my aux battery install and LED strip engine bay add-on. Red wire-loom makes for contrast, but I might switch it back to black. 

My original LED engine bay lights were ok, used 2 Eagle eye LED in the front radiator frame, they fit perfectly(pain to put in). I just needed more light :)

I use the Keyline 300amp Isolator for future upgrades down the road. H6 Interstate battery from Costco, MTA 0300839 positive bus bar, but will also be adding a 4-relay/12 fuse block, just need to make a mounting plate for it.

Not finish with all the final routing, need to make it cleaner. Will probably also move the fuse that's hanging onto the back firewall. Just used the previous spot I had my fuse for my amp mounted.

Changed out my original struts for Viking adjustable coilovers.  Didn't take any pictures but after some trial and error got them adjusted to the right height and feel.  The original struts were ok but when pulling into driveways with steep slopes from normal sloped roadways the wheel would scrape the wheel wells if I wasn't going really, really slow.  No springs are stiffer and prevent that from happening.  Love them so far.

      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

      By jaszr2 · Posted

      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?

      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
