Your 5.3L was a silver Sierra crew cab wasn't it? Trailer looks familiar from a different thread...

Correct. Good eye. I had air bags on the back to help with squat and Bilstein 4600's that improved the ride dramatically. Loved the truck as a daily, but I always felt bad towing that 36' brick around with it. Just felt like it was constantly shifting gears and revving to the stratosphere to keep momentum.

We feel same way with ours. Truck has plenty of power and pulls great, but when lease is up probably get a 2500 - the suspension just seems too soft and it does like to downshift a lot.

 

Love the new ride - but I don't have energy to keep black looking that good!

You're not kidding. The damn camp-grounds are awful for sap. Spent 2 hours on Sunday getting it all off my poor paint.

Just purchased my first 2500! I've owned 3 brand new 1500 trucks since 2011 and I decided I wanted a bigger truck this go around. For higher level trims the 1500 price is about the same as a 2500 anyway so why not! It was the last 2016 Denali I could find and they wouldn't let me order one (a 2016 anyway) and still get the discounts. I watched it for about a month and then out of nowhere they knocked another 6k off the price. Originally wanted white but I couldn't pass up this deal. 49k new! Would love to add a small lift kit and wheeels/tires but as of right now I'm to scared to touch it! Lol this thing rides like a dream!

Now to purchase some toys to haul with this bad boy!

Thought mine was looking halfway clean so thought I'd post a couple with my new wheels. Wasn't digging the all black wheels look that came with the midnight package so I swapped them out with these.

Tell me about it! I have a black car and love the looks of black trucks but I just don't know if I want the upkeep....

Just picked her up last week...17' Denali L5P! Did a little color matching and installed a 30" light bar behind the grille. Nitto Ridge Grapplers coming for summer!

Looks great, I need to stay away from this thread because I'm very close to upgrading mine! Just don't feeling like tuning and deleting again!

I just bought my first black vehicle and I will never do it again. After 10k miles it already dosent look great and needs and full paint correction and it's never been through a car wash and only washed by hand by me.

On the bright side with trucks, you can't see the roof so you don't need to clean it. [emoji1]

    • 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?
