Wheels and Tires

Method NV HD 18x9 +18 wrapped in BFG AT KO2 35x12.5r18

 

I have 1.5" spacers that I may throw on just to see... but everything is difficult right now since I broke by ankle pretty good last week, so I may not.

Did you try the spacers?  Just wondering if they clear being pushed out that far.

Super nice, congratulations. I wish I could put that grill on my LT... whenever I get it...if ever..lol. I will be putting on the LTZ grill though, that will bolt right up, gotta love the chrome ????

Thanks!

I would think you could put the HC grill on a LT truck, it looks to me like it would probably bolt up fine but you would need to get the body colored plastic trim piece that runs below the grill and then wraps around up the front of the fenders.

I just wish I could replace the middle bar with the "Chevrolet" for the one with a bowtie.

Here's my new High Country 2500HD Duramax.

Love your new black 2500HD HC Duramax and was wondering if you'd be so kind as to post a pic of the weight sticker on the driver door jamb showing the actual payload and towing ratings for your truck.  I'm undecided on ordering a 2500 or 3500 and would like to know the actual ratings for an HC rather than the ratings for a base truck on the Chevy website.  TIA!!

Honestly, I really like the look of Chevrolet boldly printed across the grill.  Something different and to me it really makes the truck look tough, which we all know it is.

 

I really like this truck!

 

Just my opinion.

Here you go, I took a couple of pictures because the sticker is hard to get a good shot of as it's in a tight spot.

I agree, it does look tough.

Thanks very much!



My 2500 AT4 HD has the same ratings. I have the heavy duty front spring. Gets you extra payload. Can’t recall now how much. Maybe 500lbs.

My 2500 AT4 HD Duramax CCSB has the same ratings. I have the heavy duty front spring. Gets you an extra 700 lbs payload.

I don't think heavy duty front spring should increase your payload.  You are just going up one torsion bar size which increases your FGAWR 400 lbs.  The GVW is supposed to stay the same.  Your payload should go down a few lbs due to the truck being heavier and gvw being the same.

    • 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?
