That is a stock size, 255/70/17 , however the truck came with 275/55/20 so they look kinda small to me now. Especially considering I had installed 275/60/20's that were 33.1" tall. 

I'll go to another 33 on these wheels ( 17") and probably keep a stock 265/65/18 on my 18" wheels for trips, winter ,etc. I'm loving my mileage now though. It's rate if I'm empty to get under 20 mpg. Even with a 6.2. 

The more I drove with the smaller tires the more I like them. I had a shake with the 20's so I traded for 17's for more side wall and almost 40# lighter per wheel/ tire. 

My '00 Silverado came stock with 235 width tires, my '09 came with 245 and my '15 came with 255's.  I tried heavier, larger tires on my last truck and the improved look wasn't worth the sluggish feel and poorer gas mileage.  In 2000 upgrading to 255's on 17's would have looked awesome.  I'm simply enjoying large wheels by earlier standards!

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

Hook up led plate lights and reverse lights.

Got my dash cam hooked upc04214cdfb0b7557c25dc4ee688bcec9.jpg

Have a bunch of red Silverado logos so tried one on the front really hard to make it look straight because of the slight decline/incline

I took my truck to my buddy’s shop so he could put some matte black vinyl on the hood. I’m really happy with the look and it reduces the glare. 3938bafca23a951de6651d7c35b34f44.jpg5d43d60b210c2ab3462d1f58e179a460.jpg

Just read your Signature, made me laugh and reminisce at the same time. This was my ZR2 when I was young. Stcker was on for an off road weekend with a bunch of buddies. The ZR2 upstaged all but one Jeep (A brand new Rubicon) that weekend.

I do miss that truck, it was unstoppable.

I had a shop replace the chrome emblems that come with the truck (and really look out of place on the Rally editions) with black emblems.  I had a custom RALLY emblem made up to replace the LT on the tailgate.  Ordered all these on eBay.  The RALLY emblem was a custom that one of the sellers agreed to do for me at a very reasonable $20.  The black is so much better than the chrome on this model/color scheme.  Couldn't be happier with this mod.  Note the lettering perfectly straight though the picture does not look like it is.  Not sure if this is due to the rain or a strange picture angle or what.

9 hour detail session on the truck. Interior vacuumed, leather conditioned, floor liners cleaned, engine bay detailed, foam bath, hand dry, full clay bar, and extreme depth carnauba wax + x seal, windows cleaned and topped off with extreme wheel shine.

Love my Bullet Liner as well.  Only had it a few months so far but they did a great job and it looks great.

Had my front valance off for a while and was really happy with it but still wanted it to be even at the bottom, so I cut the bottom of the valance off and reinstalled it. Got the idea from Swirvn

What did you use to cut?  Jigsaw, grinder with cutoff wheel?  Looks good!

Also is your Sierra Leveled in the front?

I used a Dremel cutting tool that I bought at Lowe's over the weekend on sale. I had been wanting to do this for over a few months but didn't have anything to cut it with until now. I just followed the curve/bend in the valance. I had to have my daughter help hold the valance as I cut it to keep it from flopping all over the place. 

 

Yes I have a 1 1/2" level kit on the front. Didn't want to go the full 2"s.

      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?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      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
