You make me wish I would've gotten the Silver instead of the Tungsten. Beautiful truck!

 

looks good

What did you do with your factory hood? Interested in selling it?

i don't mind selling it (i have no use for it) but this thing is huge, so i don't know about freight

Installed my FX-R retrofit kit today. I already had the FX-R projectors (2.5", not 3" like I had originally thought). The size difference is noticeable; it doesn't fill up the hole for the projector like I would like it to, but it's really one of those things people will only notice if I point it out to them. I might eventually just buy the 3" and swap them out, but I am pretty pleased with the light output.

 

On my way home from my girlfriend's house tonight, the bugs were so thick for about 5 miles there that it sounded like it was raining. Guess the brighter lights attracted an enormous amount of bugs, ha!

Just a shot to give you an idea of the amount of bugs that accumulated

Holly crap....

Had the front two windows tinted as they were not done at the dealership and they wanted way too much to do it.

 

Looks a lot better!

Freight would be about $200. But if it fits within GreyHound Shipping guidelines it would probably be under $100. I'm in no rush so whenever you get around to it see if it meets the criteria below.

 

"Size: The maximum weight per package is 100 pounds. The maximum dimensions that we can accommodate are 82" L x 47" W x 30" H."

where do you need this shipped to? I'm heading to Key West in three weeks and will be passing right by Miami and if you're on the way back up rte 95 I dont mind meeting Sal along rte 95(I will be towing a camper so meeting in miami is out of the question)to pick it up and meet you along 95 on the way home to PA...or Sal could meet me near homestead as I will be staying just south of key largo

Took my truck in for its first free maintenance visit today.

Other than the dealer making me wait till it was at 25% oil life, it was a painless affair.

They washed it for me as well.

 

One thing that got me curious is why I had to provide my personal info when he already had my VIN.

Aren't the dealers hooked into the Chevy database? Or is only the vehicle info available and not the owner data?

The dealer I went to the first 2 times (same one I bought the truck from) said it had to be under 20%. I think since dealerships are privately owned they can choose rather to be under a certain % or not. I know some have said on here that some don't care about the %. It's probably so someone doesn't go by the old mileage from back in the day and try to do is at 3,000 or even less. I had my 3rd done a couple months ago and that's going to be the last one since I have a little over a month before the 2 years is up and the mileage would be over 24,000 even if I drove the hell out of it for one month.

 

As for the info, if you bought the truck from them they will already have all your info but if you didn't get it from there then they might need to get your basic info. Maybe it's quicker to just ask for the information instead of looking it up. I know they do a VIN history to see if you have any recalls, but not sure if they can just look up all your info from the VIN. I know when I made the appt. for my last free oil change and tire rotation I gave her my name and she didn't find me cause I didn't buy the truck from there and had never went there for anything. I believe they still need to put your info in their personal system.

Finally got my parts put on. Towing mirrors from protuninglab.com and add w1 oil catch can

    • 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
