I used a real small bit, if I remember correctly 7/32nd. The screws were fine from the kit but you have to hand tighten an impact drill would strip the head. There’s a small strip of rubber around the outer edge that keeps the trim off the slightly off the fender. 
 

I don't know how I missed your post from back in October.  I'm glad it was quoted the other day.  I've been drooling over those fender flares and will be ordering a set soon.  Thanks!

Out with the chrome, in with the black

Hello just got a 2019 RST this being my first vehicle worth anything I’m seeing a lot of talk about different types of tint I thought a tint was a tint what other types is their. I also have a fair amount of chips on the bumper already what are your guys suggestions on getting it corrected and then the best possible ways to prevent any imperfections coming back any input at all helps as I am fairly new to this. 
 

also upgrades so far… line-x, and the gm floor mat for the rear

Congrats on your new truck! I have the same year and trim. The best tint you can go with is ceramic tint. It's much more efficient at blocking out heat. But it does cost a bit more. I got a great deal on mine though. Most places will charge around $600 to $800 for full ceramic. I got mine done from my usual guy for $400. Limo all around, limo strip on wind shield and the lightest film on the entire front wind shield to help with heat.

For the bumper and or your entire truck, go with a PPF. It's similar to vinyl wrap but a thicker, more protective film that is clear. That will maintain your stock color. You can also go with a matte type that again is clear but adds a matte look.

Hope this helps!

Just curious, did you install that rear block? If so, any pictures?

Sorry about the late reply. I did. First two photos are after the 1" rear block install, the last two just the front Bilstein leveling shocks.

What did I do to my truck today?  Well I finally found it at a dealership in another state, so I drove there and finally after months of waiting have my incredible 2021 GMC Sierra AT4 Carbon Pro with the 6.2L and tech package. These trucks are amazing.

Thanks.  That looks really good.

I'll buy those faux wood ones off of you.

If he doesn't come through for you, you can buy mine.  I have them packaged and ready to go.  Just send me a PM.

Thanks.  His don't look like the faux (digital) wood that I already have, they look like the actual wood grained trim inserts.  If yours are the actual wood grained trim inserts let me know and Ill take them off your hands.

I didn't catch that.  I thought all the "wood grain" interior accents had the silver mesh grid in them.  Mine have that mesh, so you won't be interested in them.

Gangly I tried to PM you but it won't let me.🙄

Tried to PM you as well and the message box wouldn't allow me to type anything.

    • 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?
