I have seen places that sell the spacers and bolts as a kit but shouldn't be to hard to make it yourself from spacers at the hardware store. Looks like the kits are typically 3/4".

My new white frost ‘18 l5p.  

Sharp rig! Already cranked the keys a few turns and added some 34" tires?

Got the deck off, tonneau cover on and cleaned her up... Also found some handy storage bags that clamp to the bed.  Works great to help organize the hitches and straps and stuff...

Looks good! How do the saddle bags clamp on? How much are they? Take my money. Thanks

They have a metal bar that runs through the back. Then they have clamps that would hold it onto the bed rail. I just used the existing clamps from my cover and hung it from them. 

 

They were on clearance at the Canadian tire store here for $10. I had to buy them. Lol.

325 65 18 Dura trac's? Looks great, I'm tore between narrow and wide tires this time around. Had 325 65 18's on the last truck, and at 10 mpg, I'm shying away from the typical wide tire look I like so much. Looks great.

thanks, i'm definitely not setting any fuel mileage records with this setup..... getting 20-21 Litres per 100km general driving now that the roads are nice and dry and i am not having to warm up the truck for winter.... (24/25 in the winter....)  not sure what would technically be better for mileage... 35x12 or these which work out to a 34.6 x 12.8....      but doesn't matter for me now i guess cause i'm not changing out tires.... expensive out in Canada!, these cleared the front end well, on the front bumper at the most akward angle possible turning my tire it comes within a pinky width distance to the metal edge of my front bumper.... not sure if that would contact changing tire sizes and i'm happy i didn't have to pull out the sawzall to make them fit lol.  (although if i did do a tire change in the future i will prolly do the 1/2 inch bumper mod to negate any concerns if i went slightly taller.... but i do love the extra width!.

 

 

edit... i just put a yard and a half ish of limestone in my truck,  after i went down a steep hill and applied mediumish brake pressure than my tires actually DO contact the front bumper edge... by like 2mm...  i heard a little zing and found a clean spot on the bumper.....  apparently when it has 3500 pounds or so sitting in the box it may rub... *did 2 loads only heard it once..*   actually flattened out less than i thought....  i usually have 1 inch rake with the bds 4.5 kit (3 inch rear) i was 1 inch low on the rear with all the limestone... 2 inchs down isn't to shabby.. i was worried i was going to need airbags possibly for travel trailer (10,000 gross) and boat... but think it's gonna be fine, tongue weight 900 pounds boat + accessories camping crap in truck bed maybe another 6-800 pounds....  should sit level i hope!.

      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.

      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?

      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
