Point Taken.  I loaned my mini to a pair of seniors who had the good fortune of having issues with their main sewer line that requires digging a section up--and they need it fixed now, not later--during this state of emergency.  I just unloaded, unhooked, and left, after wiping the interior of the mini down with sanitizer.  I believe my actions were in compliance with the lock down as I was voluntarily helping seniors with essential services and I never got within 6 feet of anyone.    

 

 

 

 

That was a very nice gesture, especially what is going on right now, pretty sure they would have looked the other way.

 

Working sewer and someone who can fix it is a essential service anytime, I am sure they are happy to have a great person like you around!!!!

 

Beautiful truck by the way!

Sneak peak, decided to install my wheels tires today. Wheels are 22x10 with a -18 offset
Tires are basically 35’s (325/50R22)

Stock height so definitely some, a lot, of rubbing which I expected with this offset. But I needed to install these so I can determine the least amount of lift needed. Will do either a 2” leveling kit or maybe a 3+1. I’ll play around with it to determine.

Will most likely need to also do something about the front mud flaps, we’ll see.

Not too likely to see very many of those around.

Added a Retrax XR Pro cover to mine as well as a bed rug.  Easy work, happy with the products so far.

Are those rear splash flaps the GM Accessories flaps by Luverne, or another brand?

They're just dealer  mud flaps.

A few pictures of the new truck at the detailers getting the XPel Ultimate Plus PPF installed.  I picked the truck up at the dealer with 35 km on it, drove it straight to detailers and ended with 38 km on it.  PPF should be done by end of day tomorrow, 24 hour cure then they start on the ceramic coating.  May be able to pick it up Sunday or Monday.

 

The first couple of pictures are of a scratch I missed at the dealer on pickup (asked the dealer not to touch the truck with a cloth, so it was a bit dirty), as well as the same area after the fix:

On the picture below showing drivers side front and rear door, the rear door already has the PPF on it:

Absolutely love that color with the chrome! This is actually the same spec I hope to get sometime within the next year or so (Cajun Red LTZ with Z71). Funnily enough, my current truck is an '08 too ? I must ask, how do you like the truck so far?

beautiful truck man.....I love the red

 

when these first came out I saw a pic of of white 4x4 LTZ with a level or small lift and 35s on stock rims and couple of different angle shots and I just about ****** myself.....most beautiful truck I ever seen...since then ive been hooked....

See the source image

Here’s mine 2020 pacific blue. I have already debagged it, added ppf to the front leveled it and installed amp steps

I swear I can't figure that color out. Some pics it looks great. Others it looks like a dull black. It's GORGEOUS in your pic. But even in your pic - the back half looks better than the front half.

You gotta see the blue in person to appreciate it.  Especially in the sun.  I had my fingers crossed because I was not all that impressed by some of the pictures and there were none at my local dealer in that color when I plunked my money down.   And it didn't disappoint.  The blue is gorgeous in person.

I saw it in person. My dealer had one. One side looked great (the side facing the sun) - the other side looked blah.. It seems to be very "sun" dependant. But when its pretty - its gorgeous!!!

    • Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?  
    • 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?
