So a lot of changes for 2020.. First a nice little addition to the Bose stereo system from the homie Joey and his team at truckbass.com. 2 JL 10W3-D8’s and a JL RD1000x1 in a beautiful leather wrapped enclosure.2BAE7682-35D3-471A-AA8D-1B9F463CEC55.thumb.jpeg.61313eea3f591a4992cf9fc00159405e.jpeg3D6D3BC8-9972-4B4A-91B2-4AE8406E1F24.thumb.jpeg.ffc9703b1bbb6f167c993d3d77e2b712.jpeg58E289C9-8D8F-4DAF-8B3F-F79BA0F7CF54.thumb.jpeg.d4c3d3261ac2f4064bc443f287e0cb76.jpeg17AE44FE-3D91-4F72-B31B-6B27D91CD8E9.thumb.jpeg.4ab5fa788a4067b2854af432f5fa895f.jpeg2490A0BF-2CFD-48C4-B61E-6D06E71AFD30.thumb.jpeg.ea5d0176e1c5bc23ce21975752c513e1.jpeg074F0AAF-7E48-4B9A-ADCB-7C018994410D.thumb.jpeg.9abbd9010e423c78fa24121fc4630357.jpeg


Outstanding! It’s one thing to look at your truck but geez, I can feel the heat from here! You’ve got lots of passion into your truck and it shows, congratulations!

So I know most of the guys on here aren’t big on full custom builds, big wheels, big lifts and color but just Incase you’re one of the few I got one of the last pieces of the puzzle  delivered to my shop the other day so the rebuild is about to go down. Custom sized fresh cut TIS Forged 26x14’s and I’m dig’n them! These things are massive and they did a beautiful job in the machine shop! A62496B5-9F9E-45C2-B9AE-3A31A91221B1.jpeg.e1bfafa978408fbb10addf3eafc767fb.jpeg05C34530-4AE4-44E8-9A89-22131ED00B18.jpeg.fd050b96218c962f0718cc93206fb38d.jpegD6E9E957-8167-4471-B2AF-66EB97B8FCE3.jpeg.04022d62892c2f40b7b41687bdd3f10d.jpeg

Looks like 8" - 8 1/2" to me.
That's as big of a lip you'll see anywhere. Badass.
And they're forged.[emoji106][emoji106]


Dieselfan1, I can picture you drooling right now [emoji1786]

You know a smart man would have just measured the lip instead of setting a bill down in old custom offset form lol apparently I am not that smart man haha


You’re reminding that it takes a lot of that to get to where you’re at, you’re the 1% of this forum, kudos to you, outstanding work.

Thank you so much my friend, it definitely takes a little doing but I enjoy it. We all have a love for these trucks and I’m no different than anyone else just want a different visual end result than some. Cheers to you and everyone that puts effort, time and money into making these trucks more unique!

So most of my order came in from Zephyr Polishing and I thought I’d show anyone interested what I’m going to try and make some shiny parts with. On recommendation from a talented polisher I picked up the ultra shine kit, a couple different heavy duty wheels and a show stopper wheel. So armed with all this, a couple first hand tips from a friend and a few you tube videos I’m going to try and start by tackling those control arms Friday night.

Big shout to R1 Concept performance brakes adding me to their team and getting me set up with the slick set of slotted and dimpled rotors and or performance pads they should look pretty slick through the windows of the TIS wheels.

So the trucks all back apart again and we got the differentials stripped down and I keep asking myself what kind of idiot would do this all over again!? Haha

So I’m about 6 hours down south from my home and they shut the state down. But the show must go on soooo powdercoat stuff! Haha so this is how are looking on arrival the first day at Pacific Coast powder coating.

This truck is going to be sema worthy. I can't wait ????

Thanks my friend! Got some color on today, all the reals done and also got to custom make a one-of-a-kind bronze copper. 9D072F00-33D4-4121-B007-E2956B693C60.thumb.jpeg.5738c92171ac6294f914a46698e16824.jpeg78C096EE-CCAB-4510-911A-2D50D95D74D5.thumb.jpeg.0638de41d1d3cb9739076fa7934a475e.jpegC225DA69-D6A2-4A55-83D0-8616A5127FCE.thumb.jpeg.e5eb7d1a4d0874ab95affb2253d5e779.jpeg0F53622B-9804-4588-8756-F2D914D1213B.thumb.jpeg.c945fbf54ed6b15ab17616f23c39a1a2.jpeg51777021-1544-4EE2-9AFE-64FCF4754485.thumb.jpeg.4b3cd1f6f721c5247602e330d2aeede1.jpegF260E61D-49AF-45A5-8F77-C18CC7421CFE.thumb.jpeg.e41ba15f66bbcd3610f3a738de646850.jpegE16959D1-AC8B-4CAE-8D37-77AF302AA1E2.thumb.jpeg.74ed0e4805925e704c0d6857f0f8a281.jpeg

A little wheel action.. new custom color thanks to my boy Brandon. Still pictures don’t do this color justice!

    • 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.  
    • 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?
