I was thinking of buying a pair and color matching them, not sure if it would be noticeable since my truck is Tungsten Metallic. Was wondering how much those cargo lights put out since they cant reflect to much off the flat black.

I had LED bulbs in my OEM housing and switched the light to this and this puts more light out than my stock, might’ve been the bulbs I was using before but definitely notice a difference for sure

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

Just installed a new third brake light on my 2017 Sierra 1500 6E315A71-2390-4452-AF84-57928C317B49.thumb.jpeg.3e3d4012769c9ef11d582be902222708.jpeg2B0A0D53-7870-45A1-8AE3-C5DEDB325B34.thumb.jpeg.179d0778ca36fa32a9d0741b01c3d7c7.jpeg

 

Make sure you get a good seal. I got the same style but with smoked lens, and I had a feeling the gasket was a bit thin. Turns out I was right, washed the truck and went to get my rags from under the seat and noticed seat was wet. "I didn't leave any windows down??" And saw the top was wet and the rear window, and finally the headliner. JOY. 

 

Took it off and I saw where the plastic was rubbing on the paint. Ended up taking the beefier seal that was on the stock 3rd light and slapped it on. But being genital with tightening it down, I found out the plastic (on mine) is a bit weak and snapped right under the screw. 

Love my light though!!

Just quoting because I laughed at the autocorrect. 


I used windex then thinned isopropyl alcohol when I installed my 3rd so the new seal would get a good stick.

Yup I just took mine off today cause it cracked on the right side where the screw goes so I’m applying clear epoxy/glue to seal the small crack up cause it’s seeping in water  , let the inside dry out, reseal all around the edges and put it back on tomorrow, this Canadian winter will put it to the test see how long it lasts

I saw that too and laughed at the autocorrect. My iPhone used to autocorrect "Lardass" to "Kardashian." That was a great one!

Gotta get a good seal when you're working with a genital =)...OK, so I stretched the OP a bit.

 

On a more serious note, the 3rd brake light, XM/onstar shark fin, and seal around the windshield seem to be giving quite a few people some leak problems. I'm about to seal the shark fin with silicone or something just around the outside and the small hole in the back. Does anyone know if that's a bad idea for some odd reason? Is the small hole there for a reason?

Goes to show, proof read. Lol!

So it happened to you. Burley guys got to watch out.

I don't see anything wrong. Aside from my spelling blunder lol. I used silicone over the screws on my 3rd light.

Installed the Husky Splash Guards. Very easy instal. Opted to drill the optional hold on the rears rather than the tape and spring clip. Look great.

Used it as a truck today. Went out hunting with my uncle. He got a small doe. And that’s a case and a half of Point beer behind it. b20c5f0f85afc11a6b36b734ba55ebb3.jpg

Decided to color match the grille shroud just to see how I like it. Plasti dipped it first then used some dupli-color perfect match on top of that. Now I can just peel it off if I feel like it but I like it so I’m goin to have it professionally painted eventually.

Finally made a decision on which off-road bumper to go with a few weeks ago during a huge sale from Road Armor and decided to go with their brand new Sahara model with winch plate. I think my favorite part of this bumper is that they rate it for 12K lb winches for our trucks and declare the shackle mounts as tow points. Only company I've talked to that actually declares that shackle mounts as useful tow points. Couldn't be happier with the outcome. I'll post better pictures soon. Hopefully will be able to order a 12.5K Tuff Stuff winch soon if they ever come back in stock

Picked these parts up from the painter. Can’t wait to finally finish this upgrade. Headlights will be installed this weekend. Grille in about a month.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

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

      Gas fill door

      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.

      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?
