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

Never even thought of that, thanks for the heads up! 👍🍻

I wondered about that, thanks Steve! 🤝

Here's more pics Gangly

After weeks to decide whether to go with another folder tonneau or putting the $$ out for a retractable, decided on the Retraxone XR. One of the issues of the Extang folder I had on my '03 is that it did have more leaking that I liked. The Retrax seems to address that and I definitely like the looks of it on the truck.

 

Installed the EGR in-channel window visors also. First time with this brand and felt to be quality. 

I liked also it didn't have the brand stamped on the outside and didn't protrude out more than necessary.

Removed BAK X4s and placed back in box for pick up.  Excellent customer service and willing to make it right, but just didn’t work for me.  I wish it did.
 

Now waiting for a Lomax.

Ordering a retractable tonneau cover soon, and didnt like the way the rails will leave the bed stake pockets half covered, so I snagged a pair of covers.  Matches the texture on the plastic piece pretty well, and it went in snugly.

Ordered all the parts needed to add wireless phone charging to my truck a few weeks ago.  The Monday after I spoke to my parts guy GM announced they would no longer be including wireless phone charging in new vehicles.  I thought I was going to have a long wait, but was surprised to get a phone call today from my parts guy, who told me the parts had all come in.  I will be doing the install next week.

Ha! I ordered those as well. A bit pricey, but blends in perfectly. 

 

I wish I would've thought of this with my 3D printer.

Ordered led’s to replace the license plate, reverse and turn signals. Will finally be all led on the truck. don’t understand why they wouldn’t do this from the start

I have been meaning to buy one for a while, but the wife keeps bumping other things ahead on my list of stuff we need vs want to buy. 

 

Really happy with them though.

800 miles today.  Not a single problem.  Loved the mpg from the 6.2, also.  Mpg peaked at 23.3 shortly after taking this pic.  I didn't get a pic of it though.  As you can see, fuel level was low and I ended up getting off the freeway to fill up at that point.

Today, I installed a set of running boards I ordered through Realtruck. I had the same Steelcraft on my previous truck. On the AT4 the installation was easier than the Ram Classic I traded. I like it that it came with 4 brackets for each side. I don't notice any flex on them. I think they look great and are tucked in. The way I like them.

Installed AMP power steps on my 202 AT4.  Will be selling the stock AT4 running boards once I take pics and post.  Here are the AMPs.

Looks good.  Wheels are sharp too! 👍

    • 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?
