What’d you use to black out the side markers? They look pretty dark.

I had the dealer when I bought the truck switch them out. Not sure what brand they are but I really like them.

Can you take a straight on side shot. Been thinking about removing the 4x4. Maybe the tail gate. Thanks.

I’ve had the truck one week today.  
 

Base model duramax crew cab 4wd SB.

 

So far I’ve done:

 

Debadge, other than GMC on rear (replaced with vinyl) and front of course

 

Chrome delete (Vinyl Wrap)

 

Tint: 15% on sides & rear, 45% on windshield).  

 

Smoked mirror lights, side markers, and third brake light 
 

Wheels and level go on next week - 20” fuel rebels wrapped in nittos.  
 

Handles and side / bumper steps color-matched within 2 weeks. 

 

More pics to come soon.

Appreciate it. 4x4 coming off soon. Looks pretty nice.

This looks really good.  For the chrome delete, how is the color match on the white vinyl? It is hard to tell from the pictures and lighting.  Your truck color is Summit White?

 

Can you share the brand/color used?

It looks better in person, not sure why the pics look like they were taken with a potato.  The match is very close, but just like my last truck (that had factory painted bumpers), it depends on angle and lighting.  I have some friends that are very critical of everything.  They didn’t see the truck until the vinyl and they didn’t notice it wasn’t factory.  Not sure on what color white he used but it’s 3m vinyl.

Has anyone color-matched the tow mirrors yet?  I’m undecided, but I think they would set it off.  Saw a ‘20 Silverado today with them in white, looked good.

removed the halogen lights for the factory led [emoji41]

 

wasn’t near as bad as i thought it would be getting everything apart. took about an hour

That upgrade is high on my list along with color matching the chrome grill bar and hood vent. Thanks for the info.

it was on mine from the time i left the dealership. i kept an eye on Ebay daily, finally found a set with all tabs intact and no blemishes and jumped on them

    • 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?
