Can't wait to get home and add a couple accessories as soon as I buy a truck.  Usually the first thing my trucks get are a phone mount, tonneau cover, and window tint.  Just wondered what everyone else does....the last few vehicles I've added the window vents/visors and we'll see if they get put on the list this time.  I've never really done wheels/tires/lift, so just wondered what everyone else accessorizes their trucks with

The very first thing I would do was exhaust. Most times the very same day. Then the visors, toolbox, nerf bars, hand held tune. Depending on tires KOs. If it was the early days goose neck ball.

I ended up installing/changing the following on ours so far:

  • GM floor liners
  • Weathertech mud flaps and plastic hitch step bumper
  • Bakflip MX4 hard folding tonneau cover
  • DeeZee rubber bed mat (over factory spray in liner)
  • Removed front air dam
  • 6" short flexible radio antenna
  • Memory foam seat bottom cushions for front seats
  • Full rear bench seat cover

Not sure which one I bought first: Weather Guard cross bed toolbox, stub antenna, AVS hood deflector, Weather tech window vent visor and fire extinguisher mounted under driver seat.

Console organizing tray $60,000 + truck and you have to buy an organizer. My 18 Traverse came with one ? 

Posted (edited)

Center console organizer

Stubby antenna

LED front turns

LED reverse lights

LED license plate lights

 

If you have the money:

PPF

Ceramic coating

 

If you don't already have rubber floor mats, I'd recommend the GM Z71 mats. They are amazing and I much prefer them over a Weathertech or other brand.

Dealer sells a ceramic coating, polysteel?  Any idea how that fairs for a ceramic coating

I'm not sure about polysteel. But I assume it's similar to what other dealers advertise as "Zaktek".

In my experience and from hearing from others, it's not a true ceramic coating. It's more of a "ceramic spray" similar to what you can pickup at an auto parts store. 

It's not nearly as good and not nearly as long lasting as a true ceramic coating, but should be better than nothing.

 

But if they're charging you something like $1000 for the package, you're better off taking it to a detailer and having them apply a high quality product like Armor Shield IX by Avalon King.

    • 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?
