Damn... I should have gotten NV's instead of Mesh.

 

Sorry about your accident.

Thought i wanted Mesh for a long time until i started going back and forth between machined face and black. I love the black Mesh. I hate the machined face mesh. Dunno why. Ended up taking a liking to the NV and have been set on them ever since.

 

lol, I was upset. But once I pulled over the guy pulled in behind me and looked at his mirror and said, "I'm ok if your ok with it!"

:nonod:

I looked over to my fender and door and was like, "sorry man. I'm not ok with it. My fender and door are pretty dinged up"

Dude could barely get out of his car, I felt bad and wasn't all that upset then. Shit happens, hopefully his insurance forks up and pays for it quickly.

Just make sure and check out both 17" and 18" version of the NV's. The 17's have a more natural concave face where the spokes actually curve in. The 18"s are flat face and just have a lip around the wheel. They both look great, just depends on what look and tires you want to go with.

Will do i think i'll be fine with the 17s. Hell if 16s would fit i would get those. Cheaper tires is my game :D Plus the 16s my dad has on his 2500hd have really really grown on me. Love all that tire around a small rim.

^Dammit. They're now putting the wheels I just bought on the 2017 GMC's from the factory (Yeah I know the Silverado blackout has them too). At least I didn't buy rock stars or fuel mavericks or... :lol:

Okay so gm wanted 700 to adjust my tune for my tires but they have a cheaper option by hypertech they recommend for me at 300 and it will fix my speedo and my tire size I don't jo much about it anyone know more. On this tuner or using it maybe?

Spend that money and buy a Diablo intune tuner. Much more beneficial. You can adjust tore size and also get much better performance over stock.

The Diablo was more money then the hyper and unfortunately I'm not risking voiding my Warrenty at least this way with the tunner I won't void warrenty asked gm already and it will fix my speedo and I can adjust up to 36" tires

Any guys run or know anyone that runs 20x12's on 33's with a 2.5" level? I have some 20x12's that I want to run on my truck with 305/55r20 Terra grapps but I want to get an idea of how much I'll have to trim.

Might need the 3.5 inch lift for that but I could be totally wrong

I ran into a guy on instagram that did it but it was a long time ago. I forgot his IG name. I have a picture of his setup.

I'm sure a 305/50 would work but I want to go 33" if it's possible without hitting metal.

Idk is tough, I'm sure it will rub. I have a 3" level and 20x10 -24 offset on 305-55-20 and it rubbed a little at full lock on the back carpet so I had to cut it and zip tie it back then hammer in some of the metal cus I wanted to make sure it would never touch it and explode my tire.

So finally got the rims and tires on! I think it looks really good! Unfortunately my wife doesn't seem to like them... :( so may not get to keep them

Tires are 275/60/20 cooper Zeon LTZs offset of rims is +18mm

Test fit them. They rubbed really bad against the rear fender mold/lining. Any pics you can send me of the trimming and work u did?

    • 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?
