Hi all.

 

This is my first post. I'll follow up with more information as time goes by but I am also mildly active on the Canadian Corvette forum.

 

I have a build sheet for a 2020/21 gas 2500HD but I am undecided about which colour to order. I'm down to one of three; the Hot Red (only the black interior), the Cajun Red or the Oxford Brown (can get the two-tone interior for these last two colours).

 

Can anybody post up pictures of their trucks with lots of better pictures than I get off the build sheet? ... Appreciate any mods you shot as well. ?

 

Thanks in advance.

Richard

Back out of this 6.6 gas section to the main 2020 2500 HD section and scroll down. There is both an HD picture thread and a thread for the lifted/ leveled trucks. Lots of good shots in there. I ended up with black again, but the blue was my other choice.

IMHO, the best bet is to go and look at them.

GM paints are by colour code, so it doesn't have to be on a 2500, as long as the paint code is the same.

GMC often uses a different name than chev for the same paint code.  Here here are typically more 1500's on lots for colour viewing.

 

 

Chev name    /   RPO code    /    gmc name

 

These are Gone for 2021 2500's: 

Shadow Gray Metallic GJI  Dark Sky Metallic

Cajun Red Tintcoat     GPJ  Red Quartz Tintcoat

 

These are available 2021 2500 colours: 

Iridescent Pearl Tricoat4    G1W   White Frost Tricoat 
Red Hot     G7C  Cardinal Red
Northsky Blue Metallic     GA0  Pacific Blue Metallic 
Silver Ice Metallic     GAN   Quicksilver Metallic
Summit White     GAZ    Summit White 
NEW!  Mosaic Black Metallic5     GB8    Ebony Twilight Metallic
Black     GBA   Onyx Black
Oxford Brown Metallic     GNK   Brownstone Metallic
NEW!  Cherry Red Tintcoat4     GSK    Cayenne Red Tintcoat   

 Denali only               GCI    Carbon Black Metallic  (not available after Dec 2020; Denali only colour)   

 Denali only               GED    Hunter Metallic  (not available til Jan 2021; Denali only colour)

 

 

With the tiny flake in many of these colours, the appearance changes depending on the lighting brightness and angle, distance from the paint etc.  Might even be good to compare them under different lighting conditions.

 

If Cajun Red Tintcoat is the preferred, better try and get one locked down. 

Let us know how it works out!

      Gas fill door

      By newdude · Posted

      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.

      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?
