Nice trucks guys, it seems that this config. is pretty pricey in my area, looks like I can buy a double cab with the same equipment for 2-3k less than a regular cab.... Looking at LT models at least i didn't look at LS or WT..

Here locally is rare to see a regular below MSRP, when they are its usually WT or LS models. I had to drive 4+ to find one below MSRP. 8+ hours round trip saved me about 8k

Just depends. The dealership found my truck at a dealership 2 hours away. They went and got it.   The price was 38500. I paid 29500.  Luckily that 1 truck had a huge rebate

My trucks MSRP was around 41k I believe, got it at 32k.

My wife worked at the dealership and I'd be gloating if I told what she paid (she got it for me as a Father's Day gift)

I went with the most expensive one they had in the lot. If I was going to sign away my life for 5 years it had to be the right one and I didn't want no regrets.

That's the way to do it for sure as there is more negotiating room and typically better rebates on the higher trim levels. We got lucky as there happened to be a $2,000 rebate on LS models at the time which surprisingly we still got on top of employee pricing.

Does the wife get employee pricing on GM accessories like rear wheel liners for my regular cab haha

I bought my rear liners there but surprisingly I found I could buy most  oem accessories online cheaper than I could get them there even after her discount!

Sad to report that I am not a member of this club right now. I say right now because if I see a 2019 or beyond that I like I will be back! Traded my Little truck and Corvette on a New Tahoe for my wife! I still have my HC though so don't feel to sorry for me! hahaha

I have had 5 short box trucks in my life since 1979 and I am sure I will have another! They get a lot of looks and are very unique trucks for sure!

Every time my wife rides with me she comments on people staring or giving thumbs up (I rarely notice because I'm concentrating on staying out of the way of all these knuckleheads I'm driving around!) and I find it is a great conversation starter as people come up to me frequently in parking lots asking questions or complimenting!

    • 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
