MVI already has a wireless charging kit for the T1xx trucks. However, for about 1/3 of the price there's a thread somewhere in this forum that lists everything you need to buy from GM Parts to install that feature.

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

Well here she is so far:

 

  • Supreme Suspensions 2-Inch Hub and Wheel Centric Wheel Spacers
  • Rough Country Cat Back exhaust with dual black tips
  • Iconic 4" Round Side Steps
  • Gator Tonneau Cover
  • (4) 6" Anzo HID offroad Lights on Sportbar
  • EGR paint matched fender flares w/ black rivets
  • Black Silverado, LT and Z71 emblems
  • Spray in Bedliner
  • 5% back / 20% front window tint
  • White Mirror Caps
  • Tinted Taillight covers

Front/Rear bumpers are getting painted to color match on 10/20, I'll post pics once they're done and back on my truck.

 

The only thing left I want to do is:

2" Ready Lift for a total of a 4" lift/level

18" Fuel Vapor Wheels wrapped in 35"  Nitto Ridge Grapplers

Imo, the round lights on top of the sport bar look a lot better than the full width led strip GM offers in the accessories catalog. Did you wire in a switch, or are you using a key fob remote switch for them?

I haven't wired them up yet, I tucked all the wiring up in the sportbar for now.  I wanted to get some lights on the sportbar sooner rather than later as I felt like it looked too bare with nothing.

I hate the remote switch you get with the GM Accessories lights. I'm considering getting the auxiliary switches through GM Upfitters and using one of them for an off/on switch. I do wonder if the light switch for the last gen trucks with the sport bar lights can modified and used in the T1xx trucks so there's a wire in switch.

Finally got my new soft roll up gator ETX. Easy install. Thought this would work best with dirt bikes in the bed up against the cab.

Finally picked up the cooper's... Discoverer AT3 XLT.
Not enough mileage obviously for a good review but the first 20 minutes were impressive coming from the OE tires.
285/60/20 with 1.5" LK up front. No issues at all. Super happy with the look and initial feel.

Just put in the GM Z71 floor liners tonight. They are the nicest floor mats I’ve ever seen and I’ve bought weather tech mats for years. Highly recommended and worth the small premium.

I agree with this 100%. I normally order WeatherTech immediately after I get home from the dealership after buying a new vehicle. I decided to pass on that this time since my truck came with the Z71 floor mats. I don't regret it.

Installed Fox 2.0 coilovers, Rough Country upper control arms, Bilstein 5100 rear shocks and alignment.  FYI the Fox shocks are supposed to be factory height for Trail Boss / AT4 but they gave 1" lift...perfect actually.

How do you like the ride of the Fox coilovers?

I wish I could say I notice a difference, but honestly I don't. I do feel like the rear Bilsteins are a little firm.  Which is strange...I had Bilstein 5100s  on all four corners of my 2018 Silverado and the ride improvement was very noticeable.  It was softer on the small bumps but firm and "planted".  That's what I was hoping for.

Interesting I would have expected that you would feel an improvement. The Ranchos are horrible to me.

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

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      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.

      Active Grille Delete

      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?
