I picked up my new 2500 crew cab diesel on Saturday, traded in my 2016 silverado 1500 crew cab.  This is the first diesel I've personally owned, but I have years of positive experiences with other duramax equipped 2500s, a 2013, a 2017, and another 2020.  I'm looking forward to having my own.

these things drive so well with weight.....not even close to 1500 for hauling..... havent had to haul much since ive had mine but today i had 2500 lbs or so in back and was a dream

Pic of the new rig...3500 Denali HD Duramax. I absolutely love this thing and has been my preferred driver since the day I got it. Can’t wait to start doing the mods on it. I already put a McGaughy’s Leveling Kit and new control arms on it...now looking for new wheels and shocks!

Kylant- Thanks! That’s the pic before the kit and here is one after. The kit is advertised as 2”, but the shop who did mine, dialed it in to make sure the front wasn’t higher than the back. I also replaced my control arms with McGaughy’s. Believe it or not, it drives much better now.

I traded my white 2020 HC 2500 Duramax for a 2020 Silver HC 3500 Duramax.  I had just over 40,000 miles on the 2500.  I went up one size on my tires from 285/65/20 to 295/65/20 Nitto Terra Grappler G2's.  Rims are 20x9 +18.  Kept the bars stock on the 3500, just pinned back the front of the liners a bit with zip ties.  No rubbing at all.IMG_6672.thumb.jpeg.272517fb139e28626196f529a84d8af9.jpegIMG_6673.thumb.jpeg.3d60a9a0e66707ece630c51bbbabeb5b.jpeg

Thread needs a bump.

Everybody got wet and dirty yesterday. Gibby's first kill is also her first double.

Just picked up my new 2020 3500 LT crew cab gasser in Northsky Blue yesterday.  There aren't a lot of blue ones on this thread and there needs to be more.

 

I traded in a 2015 1500 in Rainforest Green with 121k on it.  The upgrade is for pulling a travel trailer that beat up my trans and suspension pretty bad.

Just recently bought this after getting into an accident and totaling my 2020 Silverado 1500 Trail Boss.  This one is a 2020 GMC Sierra 2500 SLT with the 6.6 gas.  Im really enjoying it so far.  Getting the spray-in bed liner and tonneau cover installed this weekend.  I really am not liking the rims and tires at all.  I want to keep the suspension completely stock but would like some new rims and tires that offer a more aggressive look and are good for snow and ice (I live in Alaska).  Ill also be replacing the factory side steps with all black tubular steps.

 

Im considering Fuel Blitz or Warlord rims in 20x9 and Ridge Grappler, KO2's or Duratracs for tires.

    • 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?
