Congrats, that's a nice ride!

And I think that the last thing this needs is more chrome. :)

Thanks. Normally I would agree but having had two blacked out rides it's time for a change and wife wants it to be shiny. The new grille and maybe some chrome 22s will be the end of it.

Did you use to have a Traverse and a red Avalanche?

 

That Tahoe is sweet! I was skeptical of their looks at first, but I am hooked now! They look amazing.

Nope. And thanks. They are definately nice and hands down better than our 07 tahoe.

In an environment where people are removing chrome I'm adding it. I added chrome molding on the rear bumper pad and the running boards like the LTZs.

 

Crap pictures are better than no pictures.

Good work on the chrome! I'm typically not a fan.....mostly because it sticks out like a sore thumb. But what you have done blends nicely, and provides smooth transitions from black pieces to white pieces.

 

Have you thought about de-badging the doors? Those would be the only chrome pieces I would think that stick out.

Yes and typically I debadge dechrome everything. (See sig). But the wife, coming from a blacked out tahoe, wants a little bling and I'm cool with that.

Got the GM accessories chrome grille today. Got it put in in a couple of hours. What a pain in the butt! If you know what to look for, this can be done in 20-30 minutes, but as per the usual, the instructions from GM are garbage.

Much better than the black honey comb.

My white pearl vinyl should be in within the next day or two, so the bowties front / rear, steering wheel, and maybe the center caps on the wheels will get color matched.

I was scrolling back to see the original grille and gasped again at the dealer decal removal pic :lol: . Messes with my head. New grille looks good though and the white vinyl will be a nice touch.

It is a deceiving pic, but Pearl cleaned up nice.

Vinyl is on and it's a perfect match.

Did the steering wheel too. Turned out good but I think the wife and I like the gold a little better inside.

I'm going to do the bowties on the wheels too.

For the steering wheel, I painted the chrome black. Got tired of the glare off of it. It was always in my eyes. That hitch close out is a nice addition 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

      By jaszr2 · Posted

      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?

      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
