Replaced the black trim piece by the front license plate. The dealer drilled through this plastic piece (without putting bolts in the lower holes) instead of just putting bolts in the lower mounting holes. I wish I knew why they did this when it would have been less work to use the lower mounting holes. Getting that piece out was a pain in the ass because of 1 bolt on each side that is crazy hard to get to.

 

Yes I know Ohio requires a front plate, but I simply just do not care.

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

Haven't done much to the truck besides drive it, do an oil change, and lose my mind over the vibes in the truck. I hit two deer within two weeks of each other. First deer broke my driver side headlight and some other damage, both deer bent each side of the bumper. Haven't had time to drop the truck off at the collision center so took it upon myself to temporarily fix the bouncy headlight (two mount tabs were broke). Here's my third rate temp job [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23]

Very nice! How much did this project run if you don't mind? Personally not a fan of the cold and I seem to have more ppl in the backseat asking if their seats are heated since my front seats are heated and cooled, this would be a nice addition if the price is right

For the right price, lol. Coming from the guy that has led strips in his headlights that change colors just by pressing pressing button [emoji23] [emoji23]

[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] lmao. And hopefully changing to something else soon at that! Just waiting on Diode Dyanmics to finally come out with some RGBWA boards or I need to figure out how to wire the RGBWs to work like RGBWAs lol. But the strips were for me, the rear seats being heated aren't [emoji6]

Oh how generous of you Mike! Lol. I could care less about the back seat being heated for my passengers haha. Now if the truck came like that it'd be cool, but not worth my time and expense

That's where the "for the right price comes in [emoji57]" my parents always sit in the back when they ride in the truck, sometimes grandparents if we are going to an event (grandparents love my truck even though it's a PITA for them to get out even with the Amps. Getting in is easy, stepping down, not so much)

If it wasn't for those passengers I couldn't care less

I'm just honestly not sure what GM was thinking if they wanted to stay competitive in the market. The Laramie Rams come with standard second row heated seats, some Ford trims as well. GM didn't even add rear vents back in which is one of my bigger pet peeves. I'll be comfortable up front but friends in the back seat are always hot or cold, hard to keep em all happy I guess

 

Wait nevermind the Laramies don't come standard with second row heated seats, but most I've seen have them. Believe they are like a $100 add on, which is worth it IMO

Added 80 watt LED fogs and also did the brights+fogs diode mod!attachicon.gif2015-10-07 00.16.05.jpg

Also added the drivers assist "old man handle". Helps me from grabbing the steering wheel to get in. Especially useful since 2" lifting/ leveling the front

 

Where did you get the handle at? Really miss that, had one in my 02 f150. Easy install Id assume

Added Driver's side foot well lights!

 

And why is it so hard to embed photos on this forum? Am I missing something lol

My 7 yr old sits in the back and she's always asking me "Is the heat/Air on"... Repeatedly.... Omg, GM really didn't do well not putting vents in the back..

      Gas fill door

      By newdude · Posted

      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.

      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?
