what is that light gray thing sitting on your driver side door?

It's a padded arm rest, they are awesome. This is the third truck I have had that one in. It just sits in the window channel, I always put a strip of double face tape on the back to make sure it doesn't fly out the window. Here's the link:

Well, shopchevyparts.com is backordered for 30 to 45 days. Anyone know someplace else that has them in stock?

By "them" I assume you mean the driver assist handle? I had the same problem, so I called my dealer parts guy and had it in two days.

I got mine from my local dealer in less than a week. $50 plus tax.

Good news. Got a phone call from shopchevyparts.com and the CS rep said that the item is in stock now. Got an email a few hours later saying that it had shipped. Pretty stoked since I ordered the chrome exhaust tip as well with it.

The handle I ordered a few days ago on Shopchevyparts.com was delivered today and installed the assist in just a few minutes. Saw the white airbag on the high side of the A pillar. Probably should have cut the now useless projectile safety strap before installing it, but decided if I didn't like it down the road, I could always put the original blank back up. So far I like it a lot. I hope it doesn't rattle but I doubt it will. Of course if it does, or if I ever have to route some wires again I'll need to figure out what to use to pop off the bolt trim covers. I'm guessing a clean plastic putty knife will probably do it without damaging them. This really was a no brainer. Even a caveman could do it (me sometimes). Thanks for the great write up by Rewillia on page 14 of this thread.

I had to pop off the bolt covers on my handle and they came right off with no damage. I used a small flat head screwdriver.

Installed this yesterday. Couldn't live without it now.

Hey, I need one of those "Old Bugger" handles too! hahaha

 

 

Hey, who you calling an "Old Bugger"? I might resemble that remark! LOL

 

I'm pretty sure the "Young Buggers" would enjoy them too?

 

The best $35 accessory I ever bought! Just love that thing, and I think my seat bolster loves it too.

      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
