What do you all think of the "black chrome" grille on the 1500 AT4 Carbon Pro?  I love the charcoal gray 20" wheels, but is that gray grille too much on the black?  If you all purchased a black Carbon Pro, would you leave the stock gray grille or switch out for a black?

Personal preference, but I found the black chrome trim to look a little off on a black truck. Like it was trying to match but didn't. Not enough contrast for my taste. White paint seemed like too much contrast so I chose the only other color available - satin steel. I think it looks pretty good with the 20" gray wheels. 

 

One thing I don't like is the chrome side mirror caps that I think comes with the tech package. It's the only real chrome trim on the whole truck. I think it's just a part of the Tech package that wouldn't matter on the other trucks but on the black chrome CarbonPro it looks off. I might look around for black caps or see if I can remove the chrome caps. Not a huge thing but something I notice.

Carbon black is the color on the AT4 grill surround, etc.   it’s a cool color, but I wasn’t about two wait for the “late availability” color.

Traded in my 2015 Silverado LT 5.3 last Saturday on the 2020 Carbon Pro in Onyx Black, love the new truck and all the features.

 

We need to see some pictures of your new ride.

Trading in my '19 Satin Steel AT4 tomorrow for a '20 Onyx Black AT4 Carbon Pro completely loaded, with dealer installed options:  performance package, hard tri-fold tonneau, off-road steps, wheel locks, and 20" carbon gray wheels.  Nothing wrong with my '19, just saw the carbon pro and had to have it.  It was built on 2/12/20 in Fort Wayne and just came off the delivery truck two days ago.  Taking delivery tomorrow at high noon.  Very excited which is weird because I have a '19 AT4.  But, the carbon pro just looks bada**.  Can't wait to throw some BFG AT2's on it in a bigger size, and have fun always cleaning and polishing the black paint.  90% of my vehicles have been black, so I don't mind.  It's a "work" of love ?

That's sweet man.  I don't plan on getting out of mine for awhile.  I don't want to take it in the shorts on trade-in, not to mention the money I spent in ceramic coating, tint, tires, and Borla Exhaust on this one.  I need to at least get some use and enjoyment out of my upgrades.

 

Post some pics when you receive delivery ?

Thanks man!  Sounds like you've done a lot to your vehicle, so I don't blame you for keeping it.  What color is yours?  I am considering ceramic coating mine since I live in the Northeast.  And, I certainly don't blame you for wanting to get some enjoyment out your '19...it's still almost new.  I am blessed in that my company provides me a very generous monthly stipend toward a car payment.  Plus, they pay my insurance and gas which makes driving a beast like this more tolerable and easier to trade in my '19 for the '20.  If that wasn't the case, there is no way I would be trading already ? 

 

I plan to take a bunch of pics while it's freshly detailed in the delivery bay today.  Lord knows it will never look like that again ?

Wow, that's a nice perk!  They hiring  lol  Mine is the Silver Steel Metallic.  Only a Double cab with the 5.3 though... I have to pay my own note ?  Actually, leasing this one again.  I will probably buy this one out, provided I don't start having transmission issues, or leaking window issue that can't get resolved.  Fingers crossed.

I love the double cabs...they look really sporty.  And no need to say ONLY the 5.3...that's a hell of an engine with more than enough power.  And, do you mean silver steel metallic, or Satin steel metallic?  Mine is the satin steel and haven't heard of a silver steel.  I have read a little about the window leaking issue, but my '19 built on 7/4/19 nonetheless, has had no issues including leaking rear window.  I hope whatever the issue is, it's been fixed before my '20 was built on 2/12/20.  

 

I see you live in Indiana...my '20 was built at the Fort Wayne  plant, and my '19 at the Mexico plant.  Hope they have good build quality at Fort Wayne ?

Yes, Satin steel Metallic.  It's late and i'm ready to go home  lol  (Hate working 3rd shift)  I'm only about 50 min away from the GM plant.  The 5.3 is plenty for what I need.  It is just the Cherry on top to have the 6.2, and in 2019, the 10 speed transmission wasn't available on the 5.3, so I'm stuck with the 8 speed.

 

I haven't had any leaking problems yet...but there has been a large handful of people here on this forum and on FB that have.  Some have been repaired successfully, others are going in for the 2nd and 3rd time.  I think it all depends on the quality of the tech that is doing the repairs.

All this chatter about this truck really has me excited.  Local dealer says they've a Carbon Metallic one coming off the line for them in a couple weeks, and then I hope to see it in person.  From then it'll just be a decision around that color vs. Onyx Black.  Other than that, after measuring the bed length, my scoot *just* fits where the back wheel sits on the tailgate-proper.  Hoping I can wrangle somewhat of a good deal if this goes forward.

I think all the CarbonPros are built in Ft Wayne. The carbon bed supplier is located right outside Ft Wayne in Huntington, Indiana. This C&D article says a little more about it.  My truck has been great so far - no quality issues yet. I like the idea that the truck is built in my home state.

      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.

      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.

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

      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?
