Is there still shipping delays and parts availability issues going on because of COVID? 
 

Ordered some Rough Country HD2 running boards that took over a month and half to finally get. 
 

Also ordered a Borla S-Type exhaust that seems to keep getting delayed from SS-exhaust.com they had a good price offering no sales tax which saves me a good amount being in California. Been about a month and half and now shipping will possibly be pushed back to July after they have been telling me first week of June for shipment.

I ordered my Gator SFX Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover on May 10th.  Just got an update from Real Truck that is now telling me it may ship between July 2nd to the 7th.   My RC rear fender liners took 3 weeks.....  Just a fact of the times right now I guess.

There are definitely parts availability issues in the performance market.  Shipping isn't really an issue that I've experienced.  I was able to order from Real Truck in May and get items in two days..... we're talking nerf bars and tonneau cover.  

 

For your order in particular I'd look at the vendor.  Not that there is an issue with them (I may be speaking out my butt; I don't have any experience with that vendor), but in my experience when I see a seller sell at those discounted rates it is usually reliant on volume to get those prices.  So they sort of hang onto your order until they can get the 10 or so other orders (for instance) necessary to get that volume price.  You might be waiting for other buyers to join your buying group. 

 

Maybe call other vendors (real truck, etc) and see what the typical fulfillment time lines on Borla exhaust and see if maybe you have been waiting too long.

It's almost as if you don't realize that you asked then proceeded to answer your own question, split personality?

Well good news, after getting an update that the tonneau cover wouldn't ship till July I got another email with a Fedex tracking number and it will be here on June 12th.  Not bad, the only thing that took longer to ship than this was the package that sat at the hub in Chicago for 4 1/2 weeks.....

I placed an order for some truck parts over a month ago.  Still waiting on fulfillment.  No idea when it'll be available.  It is what it is.  I'm not complaining at all.  Also seeing the same issues with firearms parts and accessories.  Place an order for something with Optics Planet that says it'll ship June 1.  At the end of May the ship date gets moved to July 7.  Oh well.  Just gotta be patient.  It is what it is.  It's not like businesses had a meeting en masse and all decided to screw customers by delaying their shipping.

    • 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?
