this was over the weekend. Detailed it, installed the vinyl overlays on the front, then did the back. Not sure if i got the wrong set of rear overlays in my package but they just didnt work well. Had already pulled the Sierra off so went ahead and pulled the GMC off as well. Looks much cleaner but damn was that a pain in the ass to clean up. Got the system installed- 2x JL 10s with 1000w amp and a LLJ harness and jesus does this thing slam!amp gain at barely a quarter and the Bose head unit has bass usually around -2. Used an old box i had and did some fabbing to it, waiting on some matching carpet to come in so i can wrap it and make it look nice in the truck. Gyms are closed nothing to do and i am working from my home office daily so just blowing money and time on the truck.

I was going to order the carbonpro at4 decals but noticed they arent black? I found some all black decals but now i am on the fence as i like the red accent and the chrome does not look all that bad. Are there any at4 badges out there that have the chrome trim but letters are black? not sure if i want to go through the vinyl thing again

Got an email saying my new blacked out oil and gas license plates are in- but my county tax office is closed for another couple weeks....

 

on a side note- my brother came up last week and he has a new Ram 2500. He didnt want to tune it so he got the pedal commander and raves about it. Anyone here have any experience with those or thoughts?

First paint correction and seal on the AT4 now that winter is over. This blue looks even better after a clay/polish/seal.

Had her for less than a week so far... Got my wheels and tires swapped over from my 18. Unfortunately, the TPMS changed frequencies, so I had to have new sensors installed yesterday. Also got my Gator tri-fold installed and the truck de-badged. Just waiting for my tint shop to open back up!

Installed Nfab nerf bars and got the front two windows tinted to match. Needs to get a wash and wax and since Florida is now on "Stay at home" orders I should have the time!

Naw, it's a LED, any power drain would be minimal.  No one complaining of any power drains on the reviews, and most people mention that it stays on 24/7, so everyone is aware of it.  Time will tell, but I don't foresee a LED that small causing any issues.

FYI, you do have to widen the hole ever so slightly to get it to fit.  I used a drimmel with a fine grit sand paper attachment, no problem.

Put in my Autostop today and bought the charger you put in as well. Unfortunately I’m not an electrical guy so I had to stop at the eliminator only. Could you do a write up on how to wire this thing? Sorry for my stupidity on this. If not, that’s ok, it was so cheap lol

No problem, it's pretty simple.

 

For the new parts:

Just slip on the wiring harness that comes with it, with the positive and negative terminals.  Then cut the wireing harness after the fuse... So your cutting it between the fuse and circle connectors.  Strip some wire covering to expose some bare wire on the ends.

 

For the factory parts:

Work up/remove some of the black wrap to have some play with the two wires that go the back of the factory 12v.

Cut the wires off the back.  You may want to remove your ground from the battery before you do this step.... You don't have to (I didn't), just make sure you don't cut them together, and make sure they don't touch once you do cut them, as it's a hot wire, unless disconnected.

Strip some wire like you did earlier, and just connect the positive running from the dash to the positive of the new wire... Same with the ground wire.  Use whatever type of wire connector you want, as long as they're secure.

 

I think there's a washer on the back side of the factory 12v insert to remove it.  Take out the factory 12v plug, drimmel out a slightly larger hole, so you can pop in the new one and secure it tight.  You're good to go.

 

Let me know if you need clarification on anything.... More or less just cutting the 4 wires (2 new and 2 old) and connecting them.  Like I said just be careful with the two factory ones after you cut them, and don't let them touch; it's a live wire.  It's not gonna kill you or anything, just scare you when they spark.

Awesome! Thank you so much. I might make this part of the back instead of the front. Not sure yet... either place will be great. Thank again for the help

Started removing the badges today, that tiny X31 badge was getting on my nerves.. And also got a tool box that matches the gloss black. Finishing the debadging tomorrow.

Installed my ReadyLift SST on my 2020 AT4. Great instructions for install. Next decision will be what to do about tires. Perfectly leveled, 41” to the wheel well at the center of the wheel.

What are you thinking you’ll do for tires? Keeping stock wheels? Also, and likely most importantly, how does it ride compared to stock? I’m curious since all you changed was the suspension. Makes for a apples to apples comparison as sometimes the tires people choose negatively affect the ride.

I’m looking at Atturo Blade 305/55/20 (33.5x12) for tires. This is the largest recommended size from ReadyLift to go with this kit. I’m keeping the stock wheels.

My thinking on these tires is they are cheaper than many other brands ($197 each) so if I don’t like the ride I can sell them and take a little less of a hit.

Ride comparison is totally like stock. This kit did not change ride quality or the feel of the road at all. I’ll sacrifice a little ride quality once the Atturos go one because of the tread and stiffer sidewall, but it’s terms of just the kit it does a great job maintaining the ride.

Awesome thank you. I’m no expert but I think you can actually go bigger if you stay with stock wheels. The ready lift site give that tire size for 0 offset wheels. I saw on Facebook earlier where people were doing 35/11.5/20 on stock wheels and it was said you’ll could do that on wheels of +15 offset and higher. I don’t know this form personal experience though.

Thanks. But I think I’m going to stick with what’s recommended by ReadyLift this time around just to be safe.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      So, do I go elbow-deep on this thing or list it for sale and play dumb? Seems to "runs good."   I'm about $1200 away from having: -a rebuilt injector ($300) -a new cat ($250) -a new cat back exhaust (OE style) ($300) -a new AC compressor ($200) -AC refrigerant charge ($150)   In theory, this should rectify the obvious detracting issues from its value and operability. Cold AC with a non-squeaking AC pulley both sounds and feels good. An exhaust that isn't cut/hacked in 17 different places and doesn't vibrate on a crossmember would make it sound and feel less janky. A working cat would help the stink, and will save the earth, but *if and only if* the fuel system is working properly, which would also address the intermittent "rich" CEL.   Heard a good one... CEL for "Rich condition" means you haven't spent enough money on the truck lately, and it's letting you know.   Rebuilding the injector would seem to be the most important part. Replacing the cat would be secondary. I don't think mine is plugged or overly restricted, but it might be a little restricted? I have no good way to tell other than seat of the pants feel. I hate the smell.   The current theory is I have a rich idle problem: A bad fuel pressure regulator, or a leaking injector(s) being the highest probabilities. I already replaced the FPR but that doesn't mean its replacement isn't also bad. It was a new part from Dorman, but the packaging looked like it had been sitting on a shelf for 20 years.   This is the (single) upstream O2 sensor shown at idle. I'm getting a lot of "rich" it seems. Sometimes it stays high like that and doesn't drop down. That makes me think it's processing injector leaks or a partially stuck open injector.     Other times it looks like this. Nice oscillations between rich and lean, which is what I think it should be. Under load and at speed, the oscillations are nice and tight and uniform looking, high and low.     Fuel trims suggest the PCM is compensating pretty hard at idle to pull fuel out. But it's not enough to trip a CEL. Something about slowing to a stop: brake vaccum booster, EGR, or the EVAP purge is delayed, or there's pooled fuel in the intake again that's draining into a cylinder is enough to set the CEL. Of course, in two days of driving, it hasn't set. I was hoping to actually look at the freeze-frame data when it sets. IAT is high because it's idling on an 83 degree day here.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Gas fill door

      By newdude · Posted

      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.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      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.
