Hello,

 

I ordered the colour matched wheel arch mouldings and confirmed that it was on my order.  The truck came into the dealer with the black mouldings on and they are telling me that the dealer body shop paints these.

 

Is that correct?  If so, aren't they liable to peal and look terrible later on?

What a crock!  If the dealer says they'll paint them, I'd find a different dealer.  They come pre-painted. They are GM part 84237183 (for white).

I am going to talk to him tomorrow.  My understanding is that "LPO" means the parts are sent to the dealer for them to install.  Hopefully he's mistaken.

Oh, no! I’ve seen a few on dealer’s lots. They come paint matched from the factory, and they look awesome on lighter colored trucks.

Ugh - I've seem the pictures of my truck and they are definitely black.

See how this truck priced and pictured. this is no "dealer body shop paint" option. https://www.gmc.com/view-inventory/sierra-2500hd-denali/details?x-symbolic=vdp&x-carline=sierra&x-modelyear=2020&q-sourcepath=/index/vdc-collections/2020/trucks/sierra-hd/sierra-2500-hd-denali/jcr:content/vdcVehicleInfoBlockConfig/vdcShoppingLinks&x-bodystyle=sierra_2500hd_denali#?radius=100&models=Sierra 2500 HD&years=2020&trims=Denali&customertype=GC&makes=GMC&postalcode=95101&filterconfigkey=ConfigAdmin_19Sierra2500&requestedPostalcode=95101&pagesize=48&sortby=bestMatch:desc,netPrice:desc,distance:asc&scrollposition=175&open-panel=Packages&open-panel=Exterior Options&open-panel=Hours&vin=1GT49REY5LF207897&filtermatched=exactmatch&primarydealerdistance=76.1&bac=118729&pagenumber=1&dealerSearchBy=bac&primarydealerid=118729&primarydealerpostalcode=95340&[email protected]&primarydealername=RON SMITH BUICK GMC&primarydealerphone=2097255050

That's interesting.  I wonder if white is different than Dark Sky Metallic.  Mine clearly shows LPO on the order workbench.

Black, White and Dark Sky Metallic are available through GM accessories.  Do NOT let them paint the ones you have.  MAKE them order the proper ones and let you keep both the blue and the black.  You paid $940 and you can buy them for $766 from GM Canada.    https://www.gmccanada.ca/en/accessoriesimage.thumb.png.38cbc16d7bb488ba08a327fa41498c0b.png

The dealer is right. But they dont paint them. I order mine from the factory with the color matched fender mouldings. The truck showed up with black fenders, but the dealer also received the color matched white fenders which they installed before my purchase.

Might depend on what colour your truck is.  If they sold you colour match for a colour the factory doesn't supply, then they planned on painting them.

Either way, the dealer installs them. 

 

A capable body shop should be able to paint them without peeling if it's not a factory supported colour.

Thanks everyone - I will clarify with the dealer.  I'm assuming they just have not looked inside yet and hopefully they are in the truck.

i wish mine on carbon black was painted , cause getting wax on them is a bitch 

You can order them from GM accessories dept in Carbon Black.   Not sure about the US but If you are in Canada you can order them here:  https://www.gmccanada.ca/en/accessories

      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.

      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?
