So I was watching hockey last night and saw this new Silverado commercial, and one of the featured trucks caught my eye.  I believe its a Trail Boss with the optional 22" wheels, but what color is this truck?  IMO it looks to be Northsky Blue but it looks much brighter here than in the pics I have seen.

I know the front end looks black, but it seems to be an RST not TB. No Z71 badge on the fender, regular 4x4 decal on the bed, standard ride height.

 

I’m sure they did plenty of doctoring to the truck and the footage to get that appearance. Worse than a fast food commercial!!!

Northsky Blue is a fairly deep metallic color.. it will look fairly dark or light depending on the lighting on it.  Even in that pic you can see the dark shadows up high on the same side panels shining brightly below just from the body line changing the reflection angle.

Funny you mention that, I was planning on getting the RST model and blacking out the front end like the Trail Boss and adding the black 22" wheels, someone at GM was reading my mind.

It's an RST not a Trailboss.  Color is Northsky blue.  It does have the optional 22" rims.

Yep. I was just going to say the same thing. That’s the truck.

So I assume that is not Northsky blue in the commercial then...  Dammit, I want a light blue like that color like Kinetic blue on the Colorado and Camaro.

That truck has the 6.2 I read somewhere. 

Yeah, if you watch the video GM Trucks did on their ride in that truck you can listen to the motor and know it's the 6.2L. 

 

Also, I do think it's Northsky Blue Metallic. I have a Satin Steel Metallic, and it's amazing how much it changes from shade to direct light. 

 

Example, here's a NSB in direct sun. It looks like the one in the video (and at Daytona): 2019-chevy-silverado-1500-ltz-northsky-b

The one in the commercial doesn’t look like it has task lights on the mirrors like the pace truck does.

 

More than likely it’s just Northsky Blue, through some sort of after-production filter to alter the tone. I don’t put much stock in how anything looks on TV, but I also doubt they would take the decals off, replace the side mirrors and use the pace truck...

      Gas fill door

      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.

      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.

      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?
