I was talking about your truck. The stance is exactly what I'm looking for. How's the ride with the Fox shocks?

The ride is just as good or better than stock. No complaints what so ever. The day I picked it up from being lifted, I almost felt like I went too high. The pictures really don't do justice to show how high it is. Now that I've had it like this for a few months, part of me wants to go bigger and wider stance. By putting the Toyo RT 35x12.5's on the stock 8.5 wide wheels, the tires are pretty much tucked in the fenders. This is great for keeping the rock chips to a minimum on my paint, but I'll probably still go to a wider custom wheel at some point. I'm letting some of the smoke clear after spending a big chunk on the Amp Research running boards, lift, tires, Sundown sub, amp, tinted windows, Husky mats, Beeds coating,,,,,. The wife loves the truck, but I know when to slow down on the spending. lol

I had to order my truck to get the options I wanted. I ordered late Jan. 2015 and picked it up yesterday. It will be going in next week to have to step rails added but otherwise I love it...

NICE TRUCK!

Traded my 2012 Silverado 1500 extended cab for a new 2016 2500HD crew cab. Only have one decent picture right now, which was taken inside the dealership the day I bought it. The weather has been crumby ever since. Will be starting a build thread soon, as I have a few mild mods planned. Loving the new truck so far! I should have bought a 2500HD a long time ago!

What do you like aout it? It does look nice! I like the classic HD rims and tires That's a cool old looking garage.

Finally installed the black emblems and TPMS : )

Wicked shine ? What type of wax and or what did you do to make her look like that ? Sweet.

I honestly just washed it; it might be the fact that I took the pics in shade, which gave it much more depth in reflections : )

We are not nearly done with winter here in the Northeast but I could use your cleaning talent. : ) .

 

Here is my girl "Allison" resting in Saguenay Quebec last week after making a two day jaunt from NYC to Pittsburg NH to Saguenay Quebec.

 

Went to the self serve car wash on our return to NH. I only used the water to attempt to clean her but it was of little assistance. I didn't have the heart to run the car wash brush over her. Come spring I think I would have regretted it.

 

Stay safe ...

Nice rig. Did you buy the trailer directly @ the factory in Boonville or from a dealer? Been past it on my tris to Maine.

2016 regular cab long bed 4x4, 1616 miles on it now, liking it a lot.

The nephew pestered me to get a GMC, because of the better lighting. I wasn't too keen on the black plastic fillers in the bumper. I guess I could've gotten then dipped "chrome"

 

It's too bad that the non-fog lamp equipped trucks couldn't get a "plain" bumper. That is what has turned me off the GMCs since the GMT800 models (big gaping black "holes" in the bumper).

Yep, it's an old school, small town dealership. There aren't too many of those around any more. And, thanks! Those are just the standard 17" LT rims. I'm going to run them through the winter, and then upgrade to some aftermarket rims. The chrome 18's were an extra $1,295, and I'm not a huge fan of chrome anyway...so I just went with the cheaper ones. Had the dealer swap the little 265/70/17's for some 285/75/17's. They're 34" tall, and help fill out the wheel wells much better.

 

It's better than my 2012 1500 in many ways! It may be hard to believe, but the driving manners are much more smooth and comfortable. The 6.0/6L80E/4:10 drivetrain is a great setup. It accelerates without revving to the moon (unlike my old 5.3). And, it will hold 6th gear on the highway, regardless of hills or head winds (also unlike my old 5.3). It sits taller. The brakes are better. The factory exhaust sounds better. The cab is quieter and sealed up better. It will handle the weight of my camper/ATV/camping gear much better. It's just a whole lot more truck than my old 1500. It's also the first crew cab I've owned, and I already enjoy the extra room. I also like the new dash, new interior, and new technology...although I realize those last few things aren't specific to the 2500HD platform.

 

Big Whiskey,

 

Nice traditional GM HD look. Is that a 4x4? Thanks.

Thank you. I'm really enjoying it! Yes, it's a 4x4 Z71.

    • 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?   
    • 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
