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'm going to change the name of the thread from "What have you done to your '14 today?" to "What have you done to your K2 today?" considering they have 2015's out now as well. Thanks for the understanding!

I was just think about this the other day.

Installed my new Airaid Cold Air Intake. Super easy to do and sounds great when I get on the throttle!

Got the GPS issue fixed and detailed yesterday (Yes, I noticed the condensation, spent 2 hours that night till 2 AM drying everything up lol):

Removed the amber running signal and replaced the signal lights with LEDs

I should've kept that amber running light trick to myself! It makes the truck look so much meaner.

Cut the wire.

Which wire? Would this work with the Silverado?

Looks like a mean transformer without the yellow light. [emoji106]

^Yes I would like to know how you disable those lights toooo!

For the Sierra you'll have to pull the headlight out to make this a lot simpler. DangerDick is correct, you have to cut the GREEN wire on both sides as that is your running light wire.

 

I have some wiring running back into the cab now that allows me to turn the ambers on and off when the running lights are on so if I ever want them on, I just have to flip a switch [emoji4]

 

Here's a picture of my harness:

I have the VLED V3 triton. I really like how this set up works because it makes the blinker much more noticeable (well, mine is easily noticeable without the disabling mod cause it's so damn bright!)

 

You will NOT get a hyperflash and NO OTHER FUNCTIONS WILL BE AFFECTED. The only thing that will happen is you will no longer have amber running lights [emoji106] as I said, turn signals and hazards still work just fine.

 

Just a few more pictures to show what it looks like

This might be a dumb question lol but the wire that we cut is the one coming from the trucks wiring right? Not to light bulbs wire.

I personally dont understand why the ambers are needed to be on at all. I dont believe doing this is illegal in Canada, may be illegal in the States.

 

Then again, I see lots of cars out there with no amber running light stock

Not illegal in the states. Already checked [emoji4]

Nope, the harness that comes from the truck to the headlight is untouched. This is after the wiring comes back out of the headlight to plug into the turn signal lights.

      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.

      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?
