Those of you with aftermarket exhaust and DFM, does it sound any different when DFM kicks in? Anything like AFM of the older trucks, with a helicopter/choppy sound? My understanding is DFM can't be deactivated currently.

Can be deactivated with an aftermarket device made by Range or by putting the truck in tow haul or one gear lower than the top gear. So L9 or L7 depending on the tranny you have.

The Range website says it's currently not compatible with 2019+ 6.2L with the 10 speed. Has this changed?

I’ve read that it’s hit and miss with that combo. So I don’t know....

Anyone know roughly what % the factory tint is on the rear windows?  Window stickers says "Deep tinted rear glass" but no details.  I want to get it matched to the front and want to know roughly what I should ask for.  Thanks guys.

I'd guess 30 but tint shops should have a meter to check

25-30% That's what my tint guy tells me. Actually he tints them a shade darker in the front and due to the amount of light that enters the windshield the front and back then match.

Installed black Z71 badges from eBay. Pics of the process.

 

Hairdryer, painters tape, 50lb fishing leader, Goof Off and a$$ load of rubber gloves. lol

Do you not have this on your glass?  

 

Rear side windows 20%, rear glass 22% +-3%.  Easier to read from the inside hence the reason it is backwards.  Excuse my dirty truck, going to wash it after work today lol.

My tint guy figured 30, so I went ahead and had him to 20% over the side/back windows and 20% on my driver/pass side.  Came out awesome!  Front/Rear bumpers are getting color matched when I get home off this business trip!

My guy had a match to the rear but looked darker, so we went a shade lighter. Which I’m fine with because I don’t need the hassle with police. I have ceramic tint, not sure if that makes a difference

Yeah that's the biggest thing, I don't want any cop problems but also hate the transparent blue-fishbowl front glass.  The rear window color I'm happy with so a close match should be perfect.  May have to have the eye doc write me up for my light sensitivity...

I have to get tint on mine. Previous truck had it and loved it. I washed mine and bought the jlt catchcan and x15 tonneau. Looking at magnaflows muffler pipe replacement and with airaid mit short setup or c&s cai system. Might ditch the steps and mudflaps and put the cap replacements on in place. Would love to colormatch the plastic fender surrounds and the mirror caps too. 330265b14e0b15fcb3eedb5f453a6a55.jpg

Cleaned and protected the interior that a lot of people love to hate on (including myself at times).

I have to say it’s held up pretty well over the past 20 months. I’m in and out of it 10 times a day for short trips. Plus I eat lunch in it a lot, and have little tornado kids in the back seat so it’s never clean. The only things that have broken are trim pieces the dealer broke when doing the rear window.

    • 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?
