Nothing major, just riveted a piece of flat bar in the toolbox so the magnetic work light could stick somewhere. Had the flat bar already, so it only cost me $15 for the light (thank you Amazon prime) lol

Also added a tool set from Harbor Freight, $160 with the 20% off coupon. Has almost everything you need besides a decent set of wrenches

You almost have as much stuff in your toolbox as I do. Sometimes if something isn't in place right I can't shut the lid so I have to adjust a couple things lol. I sure as hell wouldn't be able to even have a low pro which I don't care for anyways. The underseat storage box under my back seat and the lockable storage place under the front middle seat are also filled up completely. I didn't realize I had so much shit until I bought the '14 and had to swap everything over lol.

I try and keep my inside clean incase it turns into a people hauler all of a sudden lol. But my work tool bag used to fit in the box but since I added that tool kit it won't anymore, just have to live with it I guess. If winter ever decides to give up around here I can clear out my backseat of the 6 jackets I got back there lol

Installed a 6inch sub in my center console.

Finally installed some different wheels. XD Series 20x12. e650c3c456648a3892d3e265e7b965c0.jpg689269a13065af0317d2f92a7c65ac64.jpg

Installed my Morimoto hid kit. The harness was kind of a pain to route, but its perfect now. I had 6000k in my last truck and these are 5500k. It'll take some getting used to.

Put some vinyl wrap on the grille surround. Really like the way it turned out though it was a lot more challenging than expected. Probably should have just paid someone to do it

Installed new media module today from gm-navigation.com

 

Adds video in motion, navigation in motion, and text messaging capability.

What module did you buy because I looked on their website and I couldn't find the one that enables the text messaging. I found the one that bypasses the navigation and video watching but it didn't say that it enabled the texting option.

The color I guess is what will take getting used to? I just ordered a 5500k kit myself, couple parts on back order though so they should be here in a week or so.

can you post web site / part number / cost ????? I like to add this also. maybe more photo's when installed. Thanks

Going on this weekend...

    • 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?
