Installed a Westin bed mat (#50-6465)- nothing special here but the fit is PERFECT and it was extremely inexpensive for what you get.  I'll be getting a hard cover so this is all I need.

Found it on ebay for $95 shipped but It doesn’t say if it would fit the gmc sierra at4. Its a great price for it and wish it would fit. Even checked out the WESTIN site but also doesn’t show any for the sierra.

$200 from amazon. Great product for the price. Really loving it! Still have a bit of adjustment to do on the left side column i think but other than that. Iam very happy with the turnout.

Isn't the bed exactly the same?

Had a Magnaflow muffler installed today and the flapper valve is history.

 

The good:  No Drone at all...I really mean none.  It's almost stock quiet on the highway with just a hint of exhaust noise.  When you get on it though, the sound is fantastic!  Nice edge and you definitely know it's a good old V8.

 

The bad:  Dare I say it's actually quieter at idle?  It's definitely a softer sound.  Stock, the idle from outside the truck  was (I thought) really nice.  Now you really can't hear much at all.  My experience with Magnaflows is that they sound better with time- get a little louder/more character.  We will see.  Maybe a more aggressive muffler in the future for me if not...  

The shop said it was model #11289 but I can't confirm that anywhere.

It shouldn't get any louder with time as there's no fiberglass packing in them to burn out.  It's all stainless and the acoustical packing is stainless.

They shouldn't but they do.  I've had at least 8 of them and they all got louder over time.

That's what I think...really hope they are as I need one to throw in my little girls stroller and avoid it scratching with the bed liner. For that price it is amazing! Hopefully somebody can confirm here that the beds are identical.

Yeah, I paid about the same free shipping too.  It's great for the money.

I was on the fence about getting this one and then found the tyger low profile one for 187 shipped from amazon. Hasn’t arrived yet. I had the tyger trifold on my f150 and thought it was good for the price and had zero leaks. I hope the tyger low profile roll up is just as good as their trifold was. My concern is the tailgate no releasing. I’m glad to hear the gator is just as good. Looking good

No problems with the tailgate it releases just as without a cover.

If i had seen the tyger low profile I would of probably ordered it instead too lol. Just did a quick search and didnt find it.

Removed the Chrome “CHEVROLET” & “LT” badges for the Black. Also replaced the License Plate bulbs with LED (Sylvania ZEVO 6000K Size 194).

Nice truck! Which RC kit did you use exactly? How's the ride with the 2" level and Nitto's?

Did you plasti-dip the badges? Looks good!

No, I purchased the GM Black Nameplate Pkg (part# 84300958)

Bought her on Friday after trading in my 16. Came with the gm hard trifold really like it. The wheels just barely cleared the front brakes. Have a leveling kit on the way. 88c38244d179b81cc342514af2aea700.jpg2e0920a72526ac97740e31bfe808351d.jpg960c5e84a746df228ee90059ba8f6043.jpgb592297d77406288968e183454d75814.jpg

    • 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?   
    • Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
