Used the AI image tool to make my truck into a Lego car (almost got it right)

Man, that's totally cool! Hope a kit would be available soon.

Picked up this bed cover In excellent condition for FREE (found ad on fb marketplace thought it was a scam but it was legit) same color as my truck!!! All hardware was included with key, lady purchased a new trifold bed at 4wheel parts in Denton I just had to pick up front the store. Looked it up and it cost about 2k for this cover

So finally getting the truck put together, they did paint the bumpers and the rear passenger side of the cab today, buddy told me to get out the shop so they could finish should be about 2 more weeks for another update hopefully with the wheels on.4F53A605-2235-45E4-9A6A-C09FB0F32FD6.thumb.jpeg.787b1b8638bd67850a64a584d5d34967.jpeg

I'm Back! after a hiatus from posting.... I'm back. no longer have the 2020 2500 Custom.... traded that off for a 2022 2500 Z71 LT... loved that truck.. but it too was a lease. I changed careers back in 2021 and have a company supplied truck to use every day. the cost of a lease for a vehicle seemed a waste after that. When I got rid of the 2022 I made a panic buy in the crap used market and bought a used tundra.... (go ahead and judge me)..... it was not the truck for me. I sold it just after xmas , and in January found and bought this! 2020 Silverado 1500 double cab 4x4 LT.... with the 3.0L Duramax. seemed a good fit for towing my camper (6500 LBS GVW) and deck trailer with the RZR (2800 lbs) as well as just being a weekend warrior. truck has the convenience package so has the rear slider, along with heated seats and wheel. has a spray in liner, and came with wheel to wheel running boards (may change these out yet not sure) as well as a tonneau cover (that opens from the front as well the back of course) and the trailering mirrors. I added the OEM rear wheel well liners , and the OEM hard plastic splash guards. clean local history on it with no accidents and meticulous service records including. so far am totally loving this truck and so happy to be back in a GM.....

I am awaiting some nicer weather as I have the centre console sitting in my garage waiting to swap into it... as well as I picked up a set of OEM Sierra SLT 20's (polished aluminum) to toss on..... 

I miss the ride height and size of the 3/4 ton a bit... but for just rattling around in.. a half ton is far superior. no intent of upgrading our camper , and if we did we'd be staying in the same size and weight class anyway. 

 

TLDR - IM BACK! in a 1500 W/ A 3.0L and couldn't be happier!!

 

plans aside of the rims and console I have to go on include adding factory foglight setup , possible a slight larger block in the rear (give it a rake to compensate for the towing squat) maybe a level in the front (my skinny ass had a hard time sliding under the running boards on a creeper to change the fuel filter) and looking at doing the katzkin leather swap (had it done in my 2011 and loved it)

also looking at getting a Banks iGauge to monitor DPF soot level, re gens etc as I know the importance of that working for a heavy equipment dealership...

 

More pics and updates to come!

So here a few pictures of the truck with 3” bodylift and 7” fts lift (going 9” with the coilovers and buying bigger rear blocks) i did have them install a rear add a leaf to rasie the rear end so it’s actually level right now but wont be when I install the coilover only reason im going with bigger rear blocks.74A3E303-4E06-4B13-B7B6-2157141E445C.thumb.jpeg.0a10e4ef6a9358737a099b91ddb71b7f.jpeg

Gonna need some exhaust work done keeping the HDMI tips but gona have them raise it some so it’s not visible from the back

S&B cold air intake installed had to modify slightly due to the bodylift

Sitting about the same height as my Silverado on 38s, door is getting swapped out

Frontend should be done tomorrow. Taking the wheels to the shop tomorrow gotta get coilovers installed first though

Got excited and put the 28x16 on even though I gotta take them off to take to another shop to install coilover and bigger rear blocks, just to get an idea how high it is the hood is same height as the Yukon roof in front of it.IMG_0199.thumb.jpeg.31c032d14bed40c1577f0320be4f6555.jpeg
Almost done fr fr now

    • 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
