Oxford Brown Represent! Not too many of these around, for sure. Thats a better picture than any I've taken of mine, lol - I might copy it!

You got something in the bed or is it supposed to look a little nose high in the picture? These newer trucks always have the squat look when leveled, they need to stop making the front ends so big.

That is a Fab Four front bumper. The LED lights did not come with it. The lights, wench, and rear bumper are Rough Country. I also put iArmor steps so my 4 year old can crawl up into the truck, haha.

The truck is leveled. I got a ready lift 2" sst kit on the front which levels it perfectly.

New to the forum, but have been a Chevy/GMC owner since I was 19(wrecked my hand me down dodge in 09)

 

Looking forward to the knowledge on this site. 
 

Got this beaut in may. Cherry red RST Z71 4x4. Trail boss kit lift and level on 275/65r20 firestones. No DFM from the factory. Thinking that was the reason my previous truck had 2 lifters collapse, so I’m pretty excited about that.

Thanks bro, since that photo added the following:

Picked up my brand new 2021 Silverado RST 3.0L Pacific Blue Z71, convenience package, leather seats, and the MFT.

 

One of the only ones I was able to find on an actual lot in California. Had to drive 2 hours to get to it. $55k, not too bad I don't think. The drive home I averaged 31 MPG at 75-80mph. It was nice. Way better than my Tundra.

Figure I'll finally post a few shots of mine up.  2020 Sierra WT (8 ft bed, single cab).  Bought to replace my 1992 GMC 1500 that wasn't too happy to be towing.  De-work-trucked this as much as possible without going super broke.  It just pisses me off that GM doesn't allow you to really option an 8 ft bed, single cab model.  Thanks, GM........

 

Upgraded:

- Wheels/tires

- Power seat

- Center storage in armrest

- Fog Lights

- Steps

- ARE Cap

- Full front interior floor liners

- Fender emblems

- Dual USB ports

- Shorty antenna

- Sill Plates 

- Hood insulation

- Chrome grill inserts (SLT grill waiting to go on)

- RAS HD Kit

- WeatherTech mud guards (I have the GM accessory ones available, if anyone in the NJ area is interested...)

 

Probably something else I'm forgetting...I'll post more pics another time when I take some more recent ones.  Enjoy!

@bell1658 is this the RC 3.5” kit for the ARC suspension I’m assuming since you have a high country?  I’ve been wanting this for my Denali. Thoughts on it?

Posted (edited)

2021 GMC Sierra AT4 6.2L Satin Steel Metallic, build date 7/7/2021. Purchased 7/24/2021. 

Added a Lund Tonneau Cover, Front window tint, Xpel paint protection, and a Borla 40359 muffler.

Yes it is for the ARC, I love it and the ride feels like factory.

That’s what I wanted to hear. Looks great!

That is a great looking truck!

 

Thanks to GM, you have made your own "one of one" that they should build.

Long live standard cabs!!!

 

I will leave the "snow jokes" out, since you did say these were old pics.

    • 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?
