I love it.  It keeps it just as cool from the sun as if you had the cover closed without it being as dark.  I had it done at the same time when I had it in for the ceramic coating.

Who did you have it done by?  I'm also from MB so im curious.  I've always been told to not tint sunroof because of it causing the glass to retain the heat and lead to possibly shattering.  But I've always wanted to have it done.

Hello all

been lurking here the past few weeks, picked up this 20 Sierra Denali ultimate pkg a few weeks ago. 6.2 V8, Dark Sky Metallic. Did a few light mods, aeroskin deflector, changed out the chrome mirror caps to body color, lighted grill emblem and tonneau cover. Tint the front windows this Wednesday. Still learning about leveling and other things. Not sure where I’ll go next for modding. Had a 17 Canyon All Terrain X I traded in for this. Love the smooth ride.

I had it done by Ceramic Pro on Logan ave just east of Mcphillips street on the south side of Logan.  it is also ceramic tint as well, keeps vehicle cooler and does not fade.

Finished most of the alterations to the truck that I wanted to do.  Truck is a 2020 LT Duramax.  Wrapped the bumpers, mirror caps, and front end in matte black.  AVS in channel ventvisors (not a good choice, anti pinch is driving me nuts when windows don't stay up), tint, de-badged, Fabtech 3" coil overs with UCA's, Vision wheels 20x9" zero offset, Falken Wildpeak AT3W 295/60/20's (tire only rubs on passenger side at full lock, weird?).   No spacers on the wheels. 

 

Pretty happy how it looks and rides.  Tires are 10 ply so they are heavy.  I was worried the truck would struggle with the larger tires and added weight but can hardly tell at all. The diesel motor with all that low end torque really makes up for any extra weight of the tires.  Lost a bit on mpg but it's not a problem.

 

Also I can add myself the the passenger side leaking rear window club.  Found drips today after washing the truck ?.  Oh well hopefully GM comes up with a good repair.  I'm lucky I live in a dry climate, going to wait awhile to see what GM comes up with for a reliable fix.  It really is something to pay full price to have a window leak as part of the deal.

Appreciate it, Going to look into doing the same to my sunroof

Had the AVS in-channel vent visors too. Got sick of the constant battle with the pinch sensors. Took them off and threw them in the trash. Replaced with the Weather Tech in-channel style. They are GREAT! Cost more but well worth it.

The Weather Tech vent visors are great. I've had them on all of mine and my wife's cars for about the last 15 years. However, I've had 1 issue come up with my 2020 Silverado that I've never had before. On 2 separate occurrences I've had a high pitch whistle while driving at freeway speeds. The first time was on the driver's side front door while I had a fast sustained wind from the right to left. I was driving across west Texas enroute to Roswell, NM. The wind was fast enough that I drove right through a dirt cloud that was a thick as fog. On the second occurrence the whistling was coming from the front passenger door. The wind was blowing left to right. I was on I-15 in southwestern California. I found that cracking the window a tiny bit alleviated the whistling sound.

My 4” BDS is going on this week. Think I could clear 35s on my stock 20s?

Probably 35x11.50R20 and some trimming.  Mine still rub at full lock reverse. My neighbor has a 4in with 33s and looks good. Plus you will get better Mpg and they are cheaper!!

    • 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
