Anyone with a Trail Boss or AT4 want to sell the factory 2” rear lift blocks and Rancho mono tubes? Figure there are some guys on here that lifted and have these laying around. Preferably something with low mileage. Pm please. Thanks

I have Zone tapered 2” lift blocks with the U-Bolts I’m trying to get rid of from the lift in my 2019

Does your truck have the AUTO 4wd setting, and if so, can you still use it with the lift?  I've read elsewhere that you shouldn't with a lift.  I live where we get snow and the AUTO setting is very useful in my 2020 RST.

I’ve used 4WD Auto a few times with no issues whatsoever with a 6” BDS lift.

Cancel this, blocks and shocks bought.

I've used Auto 4WD on my 2013 Silverado with a BDS lift and had no issues as well. As for this 2019 Silverado, I plan to use it as well. BDS pretty adamant about you being able to throw whatever you want at this suspension and it will take it. I'm sure Auto 4WD will be fine.

1.5 Rough Country Trail Boss Level, 295/70/18 Cooper ST MAXX, no spacers, no rub, rides great. Averaging about 14mpg in mixed driving.

So I have a LT Trail Boss as well, with the same level kit (1.5" Rough Country), and was thinking about getting the same tire in the same exact size.... Great minds must think alike.

 

I do have 1.25" BORA spacers, as I was concerned about how close wider tires would be to the upper control arms.  How close are your inner side wall to the upper control arms?

 

Also, at full lock how close are they to rubbing?  I know you said you have no rub right now, which is good, so its got me wondering if I could fit a 35x12.50 (really 34.5"x12.50). So about a 1/4" taller and 1/2" wider than the 295/70s.  If you can could you take a pic at full lock... You think the extra height/width would fit.... Maybe with the spacers I have on???  Thanks for the pics.

Did you have to cut studs for the bora spacers? I had them on my Dmax and had to cut the tips off.

No, 1.25" will fit behind the space on the TB wheels.  So, you can either go up to 3/8" for hub centric, or 1.25"+ on the TB wheels.  Anything in between will need the studs cut to fit.

I will get some pics later, it’s Super Bowl day in KC! My tires are probably less than an inch from the UCA’s. Spacers would help.

Truck looks amazing! I have the exact same truck and just bough the 4” BDS AT4 lift and was wondering if it stacks to make a total of 6”. Thanks man!

Yup it is. BDS even says on their website the 4” for the TB/AT4 is similar to the 6” kits for the standard models.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      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.

      Active Grille Delete

      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.

      By jake111 · Posted

      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?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      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
