It does help but I didn’t get it for this. Mainly for the visibility (turn signals and brakes) for other “distracted” drivers

Ryan : Looks good - is it mounted between tailgate & bumper , or on the top of the bumper cap where is sticks up ??  my 2015 had it on  the bumper cap - nighttime the whole backend was lite up. I think under you would loss some light .

Mine is under, I couldn’t mount on the plastic bumper piece due to the license plate frame

Installed LED front turn signals today. Went with the below bulbs based on a bunch of recommendations from here. Much brighter than the stock incandescents.

 

OXILAM 7440 LED Bulbs Amber Yellow 2800LM for Turn Signal Lights with Build-in Load Resistor CANBUS Error Free T20 7440NA 7441 W21W WY21W Blinker Bulb Replacement (2PCS) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Q8RZRZV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_1X.4EbAC8DXDA

Yup that one one of the first mods I did on mine. Used those same bulbs. It’s crazy how easy it was to get to the bulbs and swap them as well. I also swapped out the tag laps and reverse lights so I am full-LED now.

Not the best pics, but the EGR Slimline in-channel vent visors came in today and got them installed. Took about 5 min total. Was surprised there was no tape, which is a good thing I guess

They are pretty much flush with the lines of the truck

Yea I think it took about 45 seconds between both lol

New Uniden R3 radar detector with mirror tap. I tried the Uniden R7 but it’s a little bulky looking. Also ordered a blendmount to see how I like it.

I have the same one mounted like Ryan's, I back out of my garage in to a dark unlit back alley and the light is awesome far superior to anything else I have had and as stated it looks good and illuminates the back of the vehicle well.

Will have to get these a try... Do you know what is the bulb type is for the rear turn signals which I think are the brake lights too?

You downgraded man.  Love my R7, best detector on the market.

I don’t speed anymore. The roads I drive have 70-75 mph speed limits. Secondary roads are pretty much the same. I use WAZ now as navigation, it seems to alert very well for just about anything on the road. Including cops.

I speed everywhere.  I let the 6.2 stretch it's legs regularly!

    • 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?
