Which model amp did you get? I’m looking at putting the XL on my AT4. Wonder if the difference in price is worth it. Was it very difficult to remove factory steps and install these?

I put the standard steps on.  I was going to get the extreme but they are on national backorder.  I figured I would give these a shot.  5 year 60K warranty.

 

You don't want the XLs unless you have a 6" + lift on your truck.

 

Factory steps remove easily.  The Amp install is pretty in depth if you want to do the install cleanly and properly.  It took me 4.5 hours and I am a "handy" guy.

Just lifted my 2020 6inch lift with 35s! 7fa9f52120f6fc3636bb6f81ee5e6178.jpg

Picked up my 2021 4WD RST 3.0L a week ago. Originally wanted the V8, but they wrecked that one taking it off the truck. Then they said they had a diesel that was about $1000 cheaper. When they brought it from the back, they had already put the lift/rims/tires on it. Soon, I'll be tinting the windows, putting some Rough Country HD2 steps, and eventually a tonneau cover.

Picked up a 2021 TB last week in Satin Steel. Just got it back from level and wheel install. Really happy with it so far, other than the lack of vanity lighting. That’s just insulting on this price point.

Which leveling kit are you running? Do anything to the rear or just the front?

Removed the Readylift 2 inch under strut spacer and installed Bilstein 5100's in the front. Set them at the top 2.5 inch level and am really happy with the ride. Much better than stock. I like them so much, I ordered a set of 5100's for the rear as well. Hopefully the swap will get rid of the squirrely rear end.

Rough country 1.5. Nothing to the rear. I have ordered the RC control arms from their 3.5 inch kit (stock 2, plus 1.5 level) just for added security but they claim they aren’t needed. Will just make me feel better.

Do you have any pics from the front or rear?  Id like to see how far they stick out.

First GMC (or any domestic vehicle for that matter), and I absolutely love it. I’ve had it for one week, and had I known how much more I’d like it, may have opted for the AT4. ??  I really liked my Tacoma, but damn I like this truck. Although I did tell my wife I wouldn’t have to add/mod anything...then ran across this stupid forum, haha. Started easy, short antenna, console organizer, Husky liners (only ever had Weather Tech, but I may actually prefer these) and tonneau on the way. Thinking about powder coating the tow hooks red. Looking forward to reading other’s experiences. 3E130E2F-177B-4FE5-AC32-9A936B3D5C2F.thumb.jpeg.8db06b2ad20e65b8d7a74258dd71680e.jpeg

Did you ever get those tow hooks powdercoated?  I'd be willing to do a straight swap for my AT4 tow hooks if you haven't.

I did not powdercoat, but I did plasti-dip them red to see if I’d like it. I definitely do like them more. I assume it would peel of easily, but it’s an easy solution. Not sure how that affects your potential offer.

Got my new 2021 GMC 1500 AT4 diesel about 2 weeks ago. So far tinted the window, got my wheels and tires in last night to now have to battle that brake caliper clearance issue tonight. Should be ready for action again later tonight. If all goes well, with it's new rims and tires. 

Fuel Anza 17x8.5 +6 with Falken P285/70/17s tires.

I swapped out my trail boss decal for these black ones .... exactly the same size and detailed as the oem factory ones just without the red color. Vinyl hood wrap .

    • 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
