Installed the Boost Auto Parts Auto Fog/6 High mod and it works as intended. Very simple, and highly functional mod. Not sure why GM makes you push the fog light button every single time, but I no longer have to worry about that now.

 

I also snapped a better pic of my truck with the new EGR Ventshades.

The light mod, doesn't it effect the Intella beams?  I like that feature here on the back roads.

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

Generally I find it improves visibility because of the white light it puts out, on occasion when I am backing up to something close behind it gets a little to bright!

So if you were backing up to hook up a trailer at night it would cause issues seeing the trailer hitch?

When connected as instructed it does not interfere with them as it activates them after the BCM. The truck doesn’t know they are on.

 

Also, you don’t need both products. Or any at all if you can acquire a diode. You only need the 6-light product unless you still want to have control (be able to have them off when you want them off) over the fog lights.

Do you happen to have the part number for the actual blade light?

I've got those all the way down my right passenger side from a carwash. How did you get that out?

This is correct. I installed the auto fog mod and the fogs come on anytime the headlights come on when set to “auto” mode - which is what I run. I didn’t want to have to worry about manually pressing the fog light button every time they came on... so this eliminates that issue.

Also, this auto fog mod also allows the high beams to come on with the fogs as well.

I do have a question though - I bought both mods and anticipate returning the 6 high mod. However you mentioned you have “control” with both installed. Could you please elaborate on this?

I’m guessing intelli beam is auto high beams? If so, I don’t have that on my truck. However, this one mod allows the fogs to automatically turn on when set to “auto” mode.

 

It also allows you to activate high beams and the fogs stay on.

I said that because I THINK the high beam/fog light mod is supposed to be wired in a way that turns the fog lights on when the high beams are on. The fog lights continue to function as they did from the factory when the high beams are not activated. This still lets you turn them on and off (without the high beam) as you please. That’s what I meant about controlling them.

The only way to control them with the auto fog mod is to install a switch in-line with the boost part.

No, it's more like when you are backing up to something real close like a wall.

Where’d you order the 6 high mod from?

      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.

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

      By jake111 · Posted

      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?
