This setup hugely affects the mids and highs. its a 200W rms 4 channel amplifier and a 200w rms mono amplifier with a digital sound processor. Its tremendous. I used to listen to my non-bose at about 3/4 volume and now 1/2 is LOUD and clean and punchy. when you switch to the hiphop station you really hear the sub do work. its perfect for every genre of music that i've found. I also have my tone settings all set to the middle (FLAT) for the most part. I used to have highs all the way up and lows all the way up on the non-bose basic. But the way the DSP was designed flat settings are ideal as far as not boosting any signal but I like a little more highs than most so i tap it up one or two to the right.

Well, I finally got a hold of their Customer Service Supervisor. He treated me like gold and took care of everything. Shipped a second harness overnight and I installed it last night. Still playing wi

Funny you asked that I was just thinking the same exact thing!

Its now an available upgrade as of yesterday on chevy.com when you build and price. if you don't select bose you can select the 200/400 Kicker upgrade. if you do the 200 upgrade you're only getting the sub. Both options are available as manufacturer added options! :-) Our dealership will be ordering alot less bose and alot more kicker i promise. especially for 659 if done when the vehicle is built.

Good question? First I've seen this as an option.

You can only upgrade the standard system you cannot upgrade the bose system. It is the first you've seen it as an option because it just started as a manufacturer installed option yesterday! :-)

Well, GM updated their website. Its 1059 for the sub/amp combo and around 700 for the sub only. Now its showing as an LPO (dealer installed accessory) and it does not include installation.

Anyone know if this works in the 2015 2500HDs as well? I see on the accessory web page that they list the sub only kit for them and it is the same part number as for the 1500s, but not the sub and door speaker amp kit.

Order and received mine last night. Opened it to find they sent me the sub and not the sub/amp combo. Had to mail it back and hopefully will get the right one over-nighted tomorrow. I'll let y'all know how it sounds.

Took me about 1.5 hours to install. Sounds much better that factory system. In my personal opinion, It could use a little more punch but it is what it is. Happy overall.

      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?
