Added one 12inch Pioneer subwoofer and a 1600 watt amp. The amp is my old one from my avalanche. Just the right amount of bass without it being TOO crazy.

FINALLY, got back from work. I am just drained today with 12 hour shifts for the past few days and also screwing with the unit trying to get it to work.

 

Here is the result :) (the feed is from the current dash cam under the mirror)

 

 

 

I think it is working pretty good as in quality wise :)

Heres some more info for ya Crooks, all the running light and signal pull there power and input from the oem signal harness, just spliced into the light harness and added the plug for the tubes, and yes they are on all the time when its in drive. As for the projector drl, its now hids and i added an inline switch so i can control when they come on.

 

Heres the links for the stuff i added

Thanks your lights have the best design I have seen for Gmc

Got an electric exhaust cut out today. Impulse buy and I'm glad I did it. Great little mod. Almost like a straight pipe on demand [emoji57] I have been loving this thing all afternoon

And the momentary opening switch is under the driver side dash

You have to cut a hole in the exhaust pipes and just weld it in. Not hard if you have the tools and know how I suppose. But I don't have the tools, nor have I ever welded, so I can't give you a true "this is how hard it is" opinion. I had the muffler shop I got it at install it. Took them about an hour to an hour and 15 mins from the time i handed them the keys to the time I got w call saying it was ready.

Install and cut out ran me $325 ($355.xx after tax) and that's with me running the wires. I told them I'd rather do that part myself so that I can have it exactly how I want it (also saved me $75 + tax)

I'll get you the model and brand in the AM. The shop stopped selling cut outs for a while cause the last brand they sold kept having issues but they found this one and have been selling them for around 2-2.5 years now and no one has come in with a single issue yet

Install the 5100's at top setting with a 1/4" spacer and cognito UCA…

The height difference doesn't look to obvious, but the ride is so much better. Truck sits about 3/8" higher now…

I'd love to hear how it sounds. Any video clips yet? Also, how far up the line dis you have it put in? I had a new muffler put it with sidelet, but the shop wouldn't cut any cats out. Said they could lose their license if they did, pansies.

I really meant to ask the shop to put it before the second cat, that way the sensors in the first wouldn't freak out every time I have it open, but it slipped my mind and they put it right around midway between the second cat and the muffler.

I have a couple videos but they do no justice.

I'm trying to find a good place to have a friend video me driving by and acceleration from a dead stop with it both open and closed.

The sensors shouldn't freak out right? So long as it's downstream all it will see is a little less backpressure. As far as I knew they were just worried about AFR and bad particulate unburned from the cats. All that should still be the same. Not an emissions expert, just my understanding.

I'd be real interested in this if it doesn't affect the sensors anyway. I want mine to sound more better too. My muffler new muffler still has a flapper and almost shouldn't qualify as being more than stock :(

It doesn't affect the sensors, sorry, I should've mentioned that I originally really wanted to put the cut out before the first cat, that way it's straight exhaust, the loudest it could possibly be, cause you know, sometimes you want the loudest possible haha. But then the first cat sensors would've freaked whenever it was open. If you put it anywhere after the first cat then nothing will freak out except for you the first time you hear how good it sounds [emoji41]

 

I was really happy with my 18" magnaflow (removed flapper) but now, I realize i just thought I was happy, I'm driving with the cut out open more than I thought I would haha

Looks great. How's the ride?

The ride is much better then it was with the 2" RC lift. I find it even better then it was stock…

    • 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
