We need some outside night time shots!!

I will try and get it tonight. It is broad daylight right now.

 

Lets just say, they lit up the ditches like there is a sun!!

What's the Brand on those? [emoji57]

 

Never mind I read back and found out...[emoji19] Sorry!

Interested on some pictures as well. Did you ditch the LMZ's? Also how do these compare the the LMZ?

They are basically LMZ, same diodes. The fittings and everything actually are even interchangeable with LMZ. The ballasts are just not painted like the LMZ to black.

 

The beam pattern is not exactly as the same before, there is two diodes now, it looks almost like a very flat x shape. This does make the ditch light up like crazy though.

 

Love the instant on over HIDs in my mains, I can finally use them to warn incoming traffic for animals, cops, or incidents through the day time.

 

My HIDs actually was hazing up on the bulb when I took them out, I am glad I switched to LEDs all around now. Beam pattern on the mains are not as good as HIDs as they miss the bottom right corner. Not a big deal, driver side cant see that portion at all.

 

My LMZs will be my spare bulbs just in case.

New front setup pics while the ears are getting painted...

please tell me how you did your head lights and what paint did you use!!

I put new wipers on. The stock ones are crap. They wipe great and still do, but it has to be pouring down for them not to skip and chirp across the window. Went with Michelin Hybrid blades. The Bosch icons were almost double the cost, we'll see how these do. They were on sale for $11 a blade

Wow ....definitely a lot of white light!!

Down side, the high beam barely works, the top portion does not have much light distribution so it does not shoot too much further than low beams. No one has flashed me so far.

 

But I can see pretty much everything with low beam and fogs anyway :D

Got the front half of my McGaughy kit installed last night. Hope to get the back half done tonight, not that I don't like the 7" rake, but it is a bit high in the back.

As long as my coffee table lol e0fe431a88a0508415186ddac1464553.jpg

 

Get to install that this week probably Thursday! Going to get my wheels and tires today very stoked

    • Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?  
    • 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.  
    • 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?
