Here's a better picture after a fresh detail and in good light

Nice truck! Is that a level kit with 35s?

[quote name="jackedupZ71" post="1957167" and yes i hate these tires. will not stay balanced, ride horrible, and suck on gravels which i know most tires don't hold up. they were on my dmax before the fuel system crapped on me back in aug

 

 

What are the tires?

Just out of curiosity, why no duramax?

Isn't the duramax like a $10k option?

Picked her up two days ago.....a left over 2016 HD gasser. Was looking for a diesel, but got a good deal on the last gasser they had...so bought it. So far I love it.

Heres my 15 Double cab work in progress.

17x8.5 Sota wheels +6 offset

35x12.5x17 General Grabber X3

Warn bumper.

Leveled on stock keys but bilstein 5100s and suspension maxx UCAs and diff drop.

Sharp! I think those are the best looking aftermarket 17" rims that I've seen for our trucks. I know you're running a 12.50" wide tire, but how far do they stick outside the fenders?

Thanks. The wheels themselves are about perfectly flush. Just a few mm further than the common +18 size, but alot more room on the inside. With the 12.50 tires they sit just outside fender, 1 to 2 inches max. Ill grab a pic for you. I trimmed based on what i read on the forum but wasnt necessary after all. No rubbing at all

I took delivery 2 weeks ago:

Denali HD diesel, summit white, cocoa/dune, sunroof, off road suspension, trailering mirrors.

 

Last week, based on research on the forum here, I changed out the OEM boards to Amp steps, added an RC 2" leveling kit, changed the tires to Toyo 295/60R20 Open Country AT II's, and added black WeatherTech floor liners. I think I'm done for a while. Love the truck.

 

Sorry for the mediocre pictures - the weather has been frigid. I will post better pictures soon - the forecast looks good.

Wow! Beautiful truck Edited by dasimmon

    • 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
