What type of exhaust is that? Is it a GM Borla with the 2 individual pipes coming out the side (side entry, same side). Never gave that configuration much thought. It looks really good! though!

Magnaflow 14" muffler. The tip is from RedTail. Thanks tho. I really like it so far 60,000 miles sounds great to me Edited by SlavO

Had the factory flares painted to match ......... love it. Wheel pockets soon to be painted body color and wheel face polished.

 

 

I saw somebody else do this with their white truck and i didn't really like the look. But for some reason I think this color looks awesome with it. Great choice

I think I know which one you're talking about. Maybe it was just the color, but it wasn't my cup of tea either. Anyway, I really like this combination as well. I thing the dark colors are able to pull off the look.

 

Thanks!

it really is a great color. my mother is in the market for a 16 Equinox and they offer that color, so she is considering that or the Patriot Blue

I think the 16 a/t inbthis color looks awesome

 

I think any truck in this color would look great.

I like seeing the older trucks (late 60 - mid 70s) dipped in some of the newer colors. Certain body styles can handle the complexity of the color whereas others kind of drown in it. This color has such a heavy flake .......... I'm likin' that.

 

Next week my wheels are going to be powder coated in the Iridium metallic and the now factory polished face will be high polished. I think that'll pretty much wrap it up as far as the cosmetics on my AT.

Pics please when you get them done.

Absolutely will post ........

 

For convenience sake, I'm dropping my truck over the weekend & should have it back Thursday. Pics next weekend!

What do you mean by the factory polished face will be high polished?

Just received a quick pic of one of the wheels that has been refinished & painted. The wheel is dirty from remounting the tire, but I think these are going to really pop in the sunlight. No scratches ... just lots of smudges. Most importantly, this will help for my truck to be a little more "individualized". I'll have the wheels mounted back on the truck tomorrow and a proper clean up soon after. I'll post the overall finished product then.

Looks really good man! Definitely a little more unique. Can't wait to see the finished product!

    • 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
