After reading all this I have realized the error of my ways. I am now studying about getting a covered car hauler trailer so I can simply haul my truck around without ever actually having to start it up.......hahahahahaha

I have to add something here, but do not really care about doing a burnout. It seems you cannot because GM puts governor on the acceleration as they do with everything else like the restrictive intake. Seems they will only allow the truck due to its heavy weight to accelerate in a way that would be efficient for the truck. For the first few thousand miles or so i thought the acceleration was very sluggish and sputtery at times as well.

 

That being said, I installed a Throttle sensitivity booster from BD Diesel Performance and let me tell you! WHAT A DIFFERENCE! There are 2 settings and middle setting is all you need, the high setting is almost too much. Its better than any programmer i ever installed (i do have the Hypertech 93 tune in). I can easily do a burnout with this heavy ass truck on high and almost on middle setting which is where i normally keep it. It takes some getting used to . it literally unlocked power that was already there.

Funny thread. Who cares about what the OP does with his truck. Does it effect the price of tea in China?

 

Not worth commenting any more than what I already have....

My firs thought was "why"... but the quote below sums it up quite well. Dude it's yours, you bought it, go have some fun with it.

 

Hey if you call that fun then have at it! It's yours to do with what you want!

fuel to the fire I guess... A video my buddy made of my truck since I had new tires coming in already. I'm with what most people are saying though, do what you want with your truck! I went back and forth about whether or not to do a burnout in a 2 year old truck, but decided heck, why not. if it can't handle one little burnout, is it actually heavy duty? been 1k miles since, and still no issues!

Probably the strongest reason I only buy new vehicles and for the record I have absolutely no problem with anyone's treatment of their own vehicles. If your idea of fun is bouncing a 4 pound hammer on the hood of your vehicles, have at it. I could care less. What does bother me is when people choose to abuse a vehicle they do not own and I have seen this on many work sites where we all drive company vehicles and some people do their best to break them.

Does this include rental cars?

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

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      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

      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.

      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?
