Nice! I love my double cab.

 

Those tires look real sharp, makes the truck look very aggressive! Might be an option for me when I'm due ?

Im not sure if it's right to put this all here or not.   Here are a few post from doing mods to my 2019.  First I did silver tailgate letters and removed the emblems, they come right off wit

Beautiful truck, tastefully done.  I like everything you've done.  Those running boards and tires are especially nice!  :thumbs:

Thankyou, much appreciated...!!

So you're not using the Readylift 2 inch level now ? I ask because I'm in the market for one and could possibly be interested. TIA

No I'm not. I wanted my truck a little higher without going a 6 inch. Sorry tho, I already sold it weeks ago in the classifieds here.

Where'd you get the morimot low beams. I've been looking for some olug and play LED bulbs and did you need t get an anti flicker?

I bought the anti-flicker when I got mine (just in case) but honestly they are not needed and will likely prohibit you from using the headlight caps to keep moisture out.

I havent noticed mine flickering driving it at night so I didn't buy the anti flicker. They seem fine to me.

@Flatblack83 I just had the ICON stage 1 kit installed on my 2019 Elevation Double Cab - with the front set at about 1.5" level. Loving the kit & how it rides.

 

But I'm finding that the the it wanders a bit at highway speeds & the steering is a bit dull. What has been your experience with steering? Do you still have a copy of the alignment report?

 

Thanks!

Actually mine drives really well, steers n drives great. Also handles really well.  A little firm over the bumps with our fine pa roads.  It was aligned to factory specs at the dealer by a buddy of mine so I dont have a spec sheet. How much preload is on the coilovers..? Do u have a pic..?

My experience is about the same with the improved handling (also on PA roads - had the kit installed in Dover, PA). Its about 4-5 threads above the spring collar (haven't taken a measurement - but just eyeballed it). I'm assuming it came set that way from the factory. Does that sound right to you? I'm still learning....Will take some pictures tomorrow

      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.

      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?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
