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.

You can't be too picky with these things in black. You've got to be okay with them from 10' away. The orange peel from the factory is very apparent, and it's not uncommon to see imperfections that you otherwise wouldn't see in a different color. I'm a bit OCD so every time I wash it and I find a new ding or scratch, etc. I have to remember that. But when I'm just walking up to it in a parking lot I love the look of it.

When I had my GTO restored, the shop told me they had to "block" the car a certain number of times depending on what color I chose. A white car might get away with two blockings, my dark aqua car needed four, and if I had gone with black I would have been looking at maybe six. It is tough, tough, tough to make a black car look perfect.

Finally found the picture I was looking for. Here is my 2500 2015 High Country, bought one year ago today. Happy Birthday sweetheart!

Looks great. What size tires did you mount on the original rims, and did you do anything to raise the front end? any rubbing? I assume those are OEM 18" rims. thanks

Yup... waxing involves a lot more effort and regular clay barring is a must.. With my black car isn't not a huge deal because it's my summer car and rarely see anything outside of sunshine.

Pretty hard to drive it anywhere for a better backdrop or it would be back to looking like a mess.

God I love the way a regular cab truck looks. Damn shame you can't put your wife and kids in the bed anymore, I wouldn't need this silly crew cab. Maybe Trump will fix that for me.

Tires are Cooper ST Max 295/70/18

Those were on the OEM wheels but I have since upgraded to Fuel wheels.

I turned the torsion bars raising the front end about 2". No rubbing what so ever but never ran them without raising the front end.

What size Ko2 bfg's do you have on your truck in this picure. Just picking up a 2016 and would like to swap out to 275/70R18 Ko2 without touching the tbar settings? Thanks.

2015 SLT with tubular side steps, 18" chrome wheels, 275/70/18 wrangler duratrac tires (33.2" diameter) love the way the tires make it look a lot more aggressive. Will be doing an inch of levelling in the front soon to compensate for the high amount of rake on this thing.

Any t bar adjustments to fit the 275/70R18?? Thanks.

My grandfather was in northern BC back in the 60s after he retired. He said Pa & the dog rode in the cab of the half ton, while Ma & the kids were in the box.

      Gas fill door

      By newdude · Posted

      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.

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

      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?
