Dad’s new trail boss. Showed him pictures of [mention]PureZ71 [/mention]‘s truck to convince him to get blue. [emoji38]4896850d0c8627b26e5dfa8cdf3b324f.jpg

Blue is a great color! I highly recommend it.

 

Speaking of blue, my saga of getting the scratches out of my blue truck continues. I'm now halfway done. Did the left front door today. Driver's side is almost, then it's on to the passenger side.

 

For those who have questions, the scratches are a result of offroading and having bushes pinstripe both sides of my truck.

Wife got me a Rampage LED tailgate strip for an anniversary present. Pretty happy with it overall, would like to wire it in at some point instead of having it plugged in.

When your wife buys you truck parts for your anniversary, you KNOW you found the right girl!  Congrats!

My B post trim between the doors was scratched from a bad car wash. When the sun hit the glossy black it drove me crazy. I had them polished and covered in Xpel PPF. look brand new now and should be much more scratch resistant.

Had a few hours to kill so I added some  LED bolt lights behind the grill for some pretty nice marker lights.

lights off

Lights on

lesson learned: Purple w/grey strip wire is parking /marker light power in the headlight plug

I'll never understand why people block out their license plate when I can clearly see it while driving down the road, unless you did something illegal to your vehicle and are trying to hide from the police. It's not a social security card. Therefore, today I'm going to post a picture of my truck without the license plate. That's what I did with my truck today. 54f4485fa7458dedf962907c8ba356fa.jpg

You’ll love it. I have the GM Performance exhaust, which is the same system. Really adds some good feels when driving. Like you said, the exhaust matches the aggressive styling. 😎

My buddy installed it today, and you were correct -  the Borla touring is exactly what I was looking for.  No apparent drone on the highway, no strange sound effects cruising through town going 35 either.  When it's time to get on it,  it doesn't disappoint, delivering a rich full reminder that it's got a pair under the hood.  I think the CAI adds some cabin sound too, and cat-backs amplify that just a tiny bit more.

Glad you like it! It will get even better after a month or so. Mine has settled into a really good sound note. I love mashing the pedal. Put it in Sport mode and it sounds the best. 

And yes, the CAI adds some nice growls as well. Especially under a bit of a load. 💪🏼

You know, good point, I never really have it much thought, just saw that most others did so and figured ‘why not?’

Any kind of personal info can be traced back to someone. Including plate numbers.

And a phone number, and a whole bunch of info. Regardless, it's not a driver's license, social security number, etc. It's publicly accessible. The differentiation needs to be made.

    • 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?
