I like the idea of some side mouldings, it definitely keeps the wdt body protected.

 

I was thinking of removing mine,but they do keep the doors from taking any misplaced dings from other folks. Now knowing how expensive the paint is, I decided to keep them until it's no longer my daily driver.

Cleaned up after a month of rain. I'm mildly considering chrome body side moldings, and highly doubt I'll do it, but I would like some opinions.

Very nice build man, since you're going with chrome I feel like the moldings would add a touch of class to that color. It looks great either way, just wouldn't hurt the appearance if you added them. (and it protects your shiny new vehicle from door dings). Either way looks very good.

created an account here just to say thanks OP!

 

i just bought an LT and have been looking everywhere for part numbers to add foglights. you also saved me alot of money by verifying the old silverado part numbers work since those fogs are half the price if not more!

 

one quick question i do still have though is you wouldnt happen to know the part number for the chrom eyebrows that go over the fogs would you?

 

thanks again

You're welcome. I don't have the part #s but I'm sure a quick call to the dealer would answer that. As you can see I wrapped mine with color matching vinyl. It looks so much better than chrome, imo.

^ bastards wouldnt tell me, said they need a vin number. he found the black and the chrome version on his computer but wouldnt tell me what the part numbers were. said they are not allowed lol

 

tried searching all over online but cant figure out what they are called.

 

guess i can call a dealer and give them a vin number to a random ltz and have them order it?

Let me make sure I am hearing this correctly. The parts guy didn't want to sell you parts? What the f^(*??????

VERY nice job. The minor changes you made, did a lot, at least in my opinion. That SUV looks stellar to say the least.

 

Glad she picked out rims that you like too. I would hate to see the wifey only liking something hideous lol.

 

This may be a dumb question, but I'll ask anyway... when you used vinyl on the grill bowtie - did you just use the same method that you used for the emblem on the original 20's? I am thinking of using the vinyl on wife's Cruze (her car is silver and the stock bowtie needs changed badly lol). Do you recommend 3M 1080?

Thanks all. She keeps it clean, but I do help. As far as vinyl goes, just adhere an appropriately cut rectangle and trim with a razor.

Nice looking rig, the Tahoe was on top of my list before Chevy came out with the High Country, maybe next time.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      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.

      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?
