Had a couple of hours...LOL...So I removed the front seats again to put the carpet back and start putting my truck back together... what happened instead? LOL.

Dropped the headliner instead to finish Sound Deadening the roof. Since I had all the bottom half pillar panels off, it didn’t make sense to put the carpets back in then have to take things off again to drop the Headliner.

I also wanted to see if I could completely remove the headliner through the back door. It was really close but didn’t want to take the chance of creasing it. Also, doing this by yourself is a PITA! It’s like hanging ceiling rock and trying to screw it in at the same time.

Anyhow - roof sound Deadening is done. I installed the Flip Down Bracket. I’ll cut the hole tomorrow and get a harness built.

Got new shoes, washed and waxed, traded window trim with a fellow member, drove all the way to Florida, and ruined my detailing job by driving through a rain storm. 7407ecbeb2a04fa324c39b8502d664f8.jpga8c688fe85ae4a65d5df3d31fc219e4c.jpg

Key question...... does the sound deadening really make a difference? Have you tried it out with that installed?

Nope. Lol. Had extra material and needed to install the bracket for he flip down anyway... so might as well :)

Let me know and I'll stand outside and scream to test it.   Lol

Swapped stock muffler with Magnaflow 12909 (Dan Fast Muffler is a great shop in Seattle area), deleted the flapper valve, added black tip; installed a Black Bear Performance ECM only tune. Sound is good. Could be a little louder at idle, but plenty sweet at WOT. Louder in cab for sure, but no longer notice the loud part, just the better sound part. Kept the AFM enabled for now, and don't notice it. Love the tune! Makes the truck respond so much cleaner and faster.

RC .25in front spacers came today. That should give me the clearance I need to stop rubbing on full lock hopefully.

Just ordered 4.10 Yukon gears for the beast.

I’m stupid excited to upgrade from 3.40 to 4.10 with the 6” lift.

Nice shoes! Are those 18s?

I don’t really understand that kind of stuff. What would this do?

Lowering the axle ratio (number is higher) makes the gears shorter so you can get up to RPM faster, tow more, have more low end torque, and more fun! But it reduces your MPG and you'll be revving higher in your last gear while cruising on the highway.

    • 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?
