Can you update this thread on your install?  

 

Yes.  Just need to find the time to do it.  I'm anticipating needing the bulk of a whole day since I'll be working slow.  There lies the problem.  I need the time.  Also needing to finish up my wireless phone charging project.  Still waiting on a wire harness from GM.

Installed Red LED strips in speaker grilles, door grab wells, and storage wells. Installed Red LED strips for cheap "demon eyes".

That looks cool all lite up. Can you post pics with it off during day light, possibly some close up to see how they look mounted.

Added Rough Country dual 10" lights to grill today.  Only installed in grill.  Haven't done the wiring yet.  Decided to do it on a whim since I removed the grill to replace the Z71 badge in it.  Plugs for wires were placed in baggies and zip tied closed to prevent moisture from getting to them until I can finish the project.

Ridiculous factory flaps off, finishing caps on, added real mud flaps, and installed the Corsa #21033 cat-back exhaust.👍

Earlier today I found myself literally standing in the driveway sipping on an ice cold arnold palmer while my daughter was playing with other kids in the cul de sac.  I had nothing else to do, but stand there (the joy of getting over a nasty illness).  So, I decided to start working on the custom wire harnesses I'm making for the Rough Country dual led lights for the grille I posted about above.  The wire harness they sent is not only cheap junk, but also useless to me.  I'm connecting to the GM Upfitter switches I already have in my truck.  I'll be sure to take pictures, measurements, provide links to everything, etc so everybody can see what I did.  Today was just about learning about how I'll do this project.  Tools and parts are new, so there's a learning curve.  I think I successfully made my first connector tonight.

Got the 3.5” RC lift kit installed on my ‘21 Denali. Should help with the ground clearance hitting the woods and the ride is just like factory

    • 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?
