Nice truck, still can’t stand the chrome window trim or door handles [emoji22]

Shipped to dealer and installed at dealer. 

Did they give you the steel wheels? They would be good for dedicated snow tires.

They won't, supposedly $1,500.00 core charge, they are supposed to be returned to GM, You can buy them on eBay though.

That’s part of the gimmicks dealerships do, sell you custom wheels charging premium price for them trying to keep your original wheels that you’ve already paid for through your window sticker package that came on your truck. I bought my wife a beautiful Volvo XC70 AWD T6 Turbo as a city car for the kids, (that thing was fast) installed video screen headrests replacing factory, asked them to make sure to leave the original headrests in the back seat. They first said no they keep them so I asked parts how much for replacement of the headrests, $600 so I told the dealership give me $600 or I’ll bring charges up as theft and if you still decline, I’ll put you on the evening news. Lol, Volvo has been gone years and I’ve still got those headrests in the garage.

Huh? The dealership put on the wheels that are on your window sticker and they take off the black steel shipping wheels and return them to the factory, not sure what you're taking about with taking something off that you're paying for when you are not paying for the shipping / in transit black wheels.

GM actually notates on them to not be used for regular driving lol

They are still DOT approved.  They are as roadworthy as just about any aftermarket wheel you could put on there.  That GM sticker is pretty meaningless.  It does prove the point that GM isn't selling you two sets of wheels and then stealing one though.

 

In any case I eventually gave up on them.. to put them on the '19 I'd want to spend a bunch refinishing them to look good, and that retro look is going to look way better on my rounder/smaller GMT800 Denali than it ever would on the T1.

 

Went with 20" CK805 Denali wheels instead.  Smaller wheels give more sidewall so they're better for winter and offroad use while still leaving room for a BBK.  Similar but slightly different look from the polished aluminum HC Deluxe 22s.

I’m sure they’re just fine and I’ve seen several trucks with modified sets, I’m just pointing out the goofy shit GM says

I agree Ryan, color matched all the way imo.

Blizzard coming this afternoon, probably the last time the truck will be this clean until spring...

Damn bro. That is a sweet looking ride. Love the 157 WB

Just a quick pic, can't wait to get rid of the chrome!

Some of that is stainless. :seeya:

    • 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?
