Got my Lund Rock Rails put on. Pretty happy with the look. Very simple to put on. I did go ahead and put some 3m clear vinyl 6 inch strips along the very bottom of rocker panel. Thinking it may help, cheap enough to give it a shot.

 

Now on to retractable tonneau covers..

2.5/4.5 drop...currently looking at wheels, friend has some 22's going to try on and see how looks before deciding on size 22's or 24's

If you don't mind me asking..... what did that 4" BDS run you installed ? I want a 4" on mine bad! Looks Good. Does the BDS kick the front track width out wider than the rear? You got any pictures of it from the front looking down one side ???

 

Thanks.

I paid about $6200 installed with tires. The kit itself isn't bad but when you start adding the fox coilovers it doubles the price and then 35" toyos are never cheap lol. The BDS does kick the front track out about an inch on mine and I'm running factory wheels was opposed to negative offset aftermarket wheels which would stick out a bit more. I have a couple pix right now but I might have to take a few more to show you. I'm not running spacers because it's such a small difference I don't notice it and it doesn't bother me. ec2c9e0ec52d576638319c4cb0c54d0f.jpg0253a04c305af20b895bbf0f2afe8eb9.jpg96c901e19b70f5efe3af90c727d72393.jpga3116d5d71426e26167895a87e7f5419.jpg

No, I get that question a lot. I'm super happy that there's no rubbing and I didn't have to do any trimming. Honestly the truck drives just like it did stock... only better ??

Truck Looks Great man ! I definitely want a 4", but I only want to run 305's. And I actually like the look of the factory wheels on there. I'm thinking of running my factory wheels with 305's when I finally get it lifted. That's why I asked it the lift kicked the front wheels out some because I would actually prefer it to do that and then run spacers on the rear if I kept factory wheels. If I got aftermarket wheels then I would rather the lift maintain the same track width as factory. But your truck looks great. Good job on it.

 

Do you have it tuned? How bad of a power loss feel did you get with the 35's ?

Thanks I really appreciate the compliment man. I'm glad I kept the factory 20's on there for sure. I just got them stripped powder coated black and then remachined the face with a brushed effect and clear coated. Cost me like $600 for all four. In my opinion, I don't think you'll be happy for more than about a day with 305's. I debated keeping my 305/55r20 toyo at2 extremes that I ran with my level when I got the lift and I'm really glad I went to 35's. I don't know what power train you have but I'm gonna assume the most common (5.3L w/ 6 speed and 3.42's) is what I have and power loss is pretty minimal. I was expecting more power loss honestly but it's not bad. I'm not running a tuner yet because there are only a couple out right now for the 2016's so as soon as more choices like Edge comes out I'll pick one up. I'm only running an AFE intake which I love that adds some power and killer engine growl when some gas is applied.

those wheels look fantastic - great idea with the black power coating and then machining the face and clear coating - never thought of that but it looks WAY better than most aftermarkets, especially on a summit white truck. NICE

Thank you my friend. They came out way better than I expected. Especially the machining part, I didn't expect to have that brushed aluminum look and I'm happy because it saved me a ton of $$$ and factory wheels have the best offset and backspacing for running big tires especially on a 4" lift!

Here's a better look at them. I mean they're not the best pix because it's always raining and it's impossible to keep a vehicle clean in shitty North Carolina but they'll do. It's kinda funny because when I'm at the dealership the employees are always like,"Did those wheels come with the truck???"808e62c1876ccb8d07894b21ca7f9398.jpg5ecbd7aab7fb8804b716f0487f65d088.jpg

Those are even better looking up close - I like that they powder coated the lug nut areas black - those wheels combined with the fox coilovers look badass...GM should be offering those and they would get some serious activity on them....hmmm, i wonder what black lug nuts would look like....

    • 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?
