Ive got the same grille inset as you, how did you get the ltz badge back on after you installed the grille insert? also do you have a pic of your headlight led running light set up turned on?

Mine is not ltz or anything so it didn't have anything on thy grill. I'm no longer running this lights. I switched Headlights. c46b8beb3b0c27af6ed0eed84f7c0e0c.jpg

So I started a little DIY project on my own design for LED DRLs for the Silverado. Thus far I have $10 into the project, but will have to invest another $10 as I broke the LEDs I was using experimenting. Before breaking them they were plenty bright and matched my 5000K DDM Tuning HIDs very well. The double row of flexible LEDs fit perfectly in the space. To make them not so noticable I used LaminX vinyl tint, which worked perfectly and still allows maximum light output. Here are some pics of install (not working of course). Once I re-order LEDs and have everything buttoned up I'll be sure to post pics:

With the tint from a distance you can barely even see they are there

how did you get the ltz badge on your grille insert? i have the same one and would like to have my ltz badge on it like yours

I would just use 3m tape. That's how my decepticon badge is on mine.

Got an email from Putco today, 4/30/15 is the projected date for the G4 version of their product.

 

Thank you for contacting us, I was unable to reach you over the phone but I have confirmed with the engineering department that we will be re-designing this part but we are trying to make it brighter and possibly add a new feature, I am not allow to disclose any further information until this is actually confirmed, unfortunately because I cant guarantee that these things will happen soon I can work with your dealer to get the part returned and return your money back, if you decide to keep it and the part does get re-design we will be able to exchange it trough your dealer at extra cost, if you have any other questions please let me know. The ETA for the new Gen its 04/30/15 ( But its currently still under prototype stages).

 

Thank you.

I bought these but they were the "solid" LEDs. Very disappinted. They have 2 gaps in the LEDs and it's very noticeable. And also the photo shows the LEDs to be a longer length than what they really are. I don't recomend them.

Does anyone know the bulb number for Day light running lights on 2014 Silverado? Is it a separate bulb from hi and low beam

The daytime running light is your low beam on the 14 Silverado. H11

It looks like a single row curved light bar.

I believe he initially posted that he bought them to put between the headlights but it was too thick. I do not believe it is a light bar, it is sitting too flush

Is just a billet grill insert from eBay, after installing it I cut the honey comb from behind so it would look more like a cool grill and not just an insert.

      Gas fill door

      By newdude · Posted

      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.

      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?
