Summer Vacation road trip to EL PASO TX.
Was pretty fun driving through the mountains and hearing the exhaust nice rumble with the flapper open and resonators covered up as the truck climbed up the hills. I even got to see a message on the DIC that said something like “hill assist engaged” I never touch the descending button this was on the way up. Overall the truck did great and the mileage was okay considering the hills on the highway and high speeds of up to 88 on some areas.

This is great feed back. Always curious of people’s mpg, is that 5.3/8 or 6.2/10?

First time GM owner. Until Wendesday, I had previously ONLY owned Toyotas. Wife, new baby, and I took our brand new 19' Silverado Custom Trail Boss to the mountains for some fly fishing, picnicking, and forest road exploring, this weekend and REALLY ENJOYED THIS TRUCK.

How has the first year of ownership going? I am in the same boat, growing family outgrowing my 11 yo Tacoma, leaning towards TB/AT4 as a replacement.

Finally pulled the trigger, even though I always said it was too much to pay for a truck.

These AT4's are bad ass . 

Yes sir, especially in white..  Still not seeing too many in my neck of the woods. Quite a few Denali's though....☹️

one of the sales reps. at the dealership where I bought mine bought the white twin to it. I have seen black, red, and blue in person. If the blue one was the same spec., I would have bought it. I like red, it just wasn't the red I wanted and also not the same spec.

Looks good! I’m getting an LTZ, and I’m torn between putting just a leveling kit and 275/65r20...or getting the trail boss kit and a leveling kit like yours, and doing the 285/65r20. Your truck makes me want the 285s!

FWIW, for some reason this size KO2 is about the same as a 275 in any other tire. Is damn near the same width as the stock duratracs. A good bit taller (1.5”) though. Just seems like the BFG’s run a hair skinnier than all other tires.

 

Otherwise,  I really love the ride quality of the TB lift. I put a 1.5” motofab level, and it could use a touch more in my opinion. So I just bought the 2” motofab and some RC 3.5” lifted upper control arms. Going to get them on whenever they get here. I’ll post more pics. ??

Bout as clean as she‘ll gets anymore this year. Constant rain, leaves, dust, and before too long, salt...

For the price, I'd consider a RST with the trailboss lift kick installed. You can snag some added features for the same price or less and still rock the trailboss lift! I only say that because the LT Trailboss is a pretty penny and very similar features as the LT.

In with the new AT4 out with the old All-Terrain. Definitely a major upgrade from last generation.

Sweet Ride! How did you make out on lease terms and payment if you don't mind me asking?

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