New to the forums figures I would chronicle my Chevy build here. Came over from a 2013 Tacoma. I’ve done a few mods, much more planned on the way so I’ll crate a new thread to track the build in case anyone is interested.

This is my old set up, so stock TB suspension. The tires are 35x12.5 and I was running 1.25” spacers w/ the OEM TB wheels. The wheels tires and spacers are for sale.

Hi all,

Long time lurker, first time poster.  Had my 2020 LT Trail Boss for about 6 weeks but finally got wheels and tires and she’s looking good now.  Love the truck so far!  Hit some trails and got her dirty for the first time today.. 
 

1.5” Motofab level kit

17x8.5” / 0 offset Icon Compression wheels

35x12.5” BFG KM3
 

I was able to remove the fender liner bracket, trim the mud flaps and pin the liner back.. Able to go lock to lock no rubbing at all..

 

Other small mods-

20% Front tint

LED license plate lights
Black lugs

Rear recovery hook

That’s the look I want on my 2020 TB... do the tires rub on the the upper control arms???

Whats the wheel /tire and lift setup ... looks sharp

Thanks. 35x12.5 Falken Wildpeak MT's on 0 offset 17x8.5 Icon Rebound's with a ReadyLIFT 1.75" level kit on top of the factory Trail Boss lift.

Aggressive looking ... we’re wheel spacers needed to avoid tire contact with upper control arms?

No spacers required.

Just picked her up Friday. 2020 LT Trail Boss, 5.3 liter. Didn’t really want the running boards or sports bar, but stock was very limited and I really wanted the color and standard bed. I’m actually starting to like the look. I’m very happy so far. First Chevy. Coming from a Ram 1500.
 

What tonneau covers can I use with the sport bar?

I put on a Gator ETX soft roll-up tonneau cover on my Trail Boss short bed with sport bar.  I'm pretty happy with it and the price was right ($169).  They make one for the 6'6" bed for $209 on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JQG3JK8/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1  It's not fancy, but it keeps everything in the bed dry.

Looks good John. Thanks for the info. I like the price.

I went with a Rough Country hard trifold. I have a thread on my build that'll show the result. I have the short bed. With your bed being longer you might be able to fully open the first portion and have it lay flat. That is irrelevant to me since I wanted something that'll lock down and keep my stuff secure, it's water resistant, and it's also very easy to remove and place in the bed if you suddenly need to carry something large. It just takes turning 4 knows, slide the tonneau towards you, and fold over. Once it's folded and secured via the straps and buckles that are installed you can lift it and place it in your bed. I had to do this about a month ago when we bought a new full size bed and box spring for our son. The tonneau being in the bed, and the mounting rails still installed, didn't affect our ability to transport the bed (and a 75" tv we bought on a whim).

 

Link to my build thread: https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink/topic?url=https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/241500-transients-build/&share_tid=241500&share_fid=33003&share_type=t&link_source=app

It's not a long thread, so you should be able to find the tonneau cover pics quickly.

Long time lurker, first post. 

2020 RST bought April 2020.

Few things done to it so far: RC tonneau, front window tint, 1.5" level, Range DFM disabler, auto-dimming rearview, shorty antenna.

    • 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
