For which parts?

I would assume he’s wanting the part numbers for the carbon trim pieces you installed.

How did this setup turn out? Like it?

Still waiting on the new wheels and tires.  Going on 5 weeks now...🙄

 

Installing it after they arrive.

I pulled home the wife’s Mother’s Day present. I wanted a new Camaro SS, she wanted a side by side. Mommy won and so did the little daughter. Truck pulled 20 ft trailer pretty well. 30 mph crosswind, got 9.9 mpgs

Swapped out the LT decal on the tailgate for an 6.2L decal.

Ordered a Putco Blade tailgate light last week.  I'm anticipating my parts guy to call today to let me know it's available for pickup. 

 

Also ordered both a Retrax One XR and the Embark LS by Advantage (via GM Accessories).  Got the Retrax through Amazon.  Hoping I'll be able to make the Retrax work with the sportbar.  If after sizing it up I determine I can't modify it to work with my setup I'll just return it to Amazon.  If it does work I'll just refuse to pickup the Embark bed cover from the dealer.  This is going to be a bit of fun, imo.

Last weekend I swapped my Texas Edition badges for black ones. When I got the truck the Z71 and the Texas Edition badges were both chrome. I've been struggling with the debadge/badge decision since getting the truck.

I figured I'd try blacking them out and see how it looks on the Shadow Gray.

I know it's all personal preference, but what do y'all think looks better on the dark shadow gray? Black badges or no badges?

 

I also painted my exhaust bezels black. IMG_1362.thumb.JPEG.73a02dbfb03e4cb94b50d9beeb1ce4fa.JPEG

Installed mine red to match the red tailgate letters, z71 emblem, and red bowties and tow hooks

The Retrax XR bed cover I ordered arrived today.  Got it installed so I could mock up where I need to modify it so it works with the GM Accessories sportbar.  Tonight concluded with removing the bed cover and disassembling it so I can start cutting first thing in the morning.

What will you be using to cut the tracks?

i have the Retrax RX and want to cut them to have access to the side bars for when I decide which ones to go with, just not sure what to use to cut and how to make it look clean and not show the rough cut areas and how to prevent rusting later

Sweet UTV!!! How much do one of those go for, ballpark?

    • 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?
