So I found a factory GM Puck system and used the above measurements and I am very happy with the install. I appreciate everyone who posted, it really made the job easier.

And if anyone is wondering the part numbers for the hardware are....   Bolts x8 pcs,    #11561075 Ball hole cover. X1 pc.  #84756188 Puck hole covers x4 pcs.  #84756187

did not add it   but rather ordered it....   I think the challenge will be the puck system... getting that added.

I did buy the bracket, bolts and heat shield from my local dealership, $1400, hoping to install this week. I had to find the part numbers, they had no idea what I was talking about. GM is missing out not having a package. Not everyone can just trade in their truck to get a 5th wheel.

Do you have part numbers for the bolts and caps?  I just got the system on ebay for $399 but it does not have the hardware.

Great posts guys !   For anyone ordering a new HD,  I spent $645 on the factory Max Trailer Pkg.(# NHT). Included, 5th. wheel prep. frame crossmember, holes & plugs in bed, 3500HD Frame, 3500HD rear spring pack with overloads, 12 in. Rear Axel, Rancho Shocks, and in bed 7 way connector. This for my 2500HD. No longer need Firestone Air Bags, like I put on my '16 2500HD for my application. Quite a bargain at $645.

Also opted for the Trailer Camera Vision Pkg. Prep. & Software (# TRG)., with Rear Bumper Camera dual Recpts. in the 7 way connector, Includes Hitch Guidance with Hitch View (#PZ8).

HD Front Spring / Camper Pkg. (# F60) was $45.

I tow a 24 ft. Box Trailer / Workshop to job sites.

Does anyone know the torque specs for the crossmember bolts and the bed mount bolts?

Just had to nip back the heat shield where the two arms bolt up to the rh frame rail

Nice job. How do you figure out where to drill out the bed holes? Dykem on the hitch holes to mark the bottom of the bed?

Straight edge across the bed mount holes, measuring forward, and measuring multiple times.  Hopefuly when i get the bed back on tomorrow its good.  Should be fine as the factory covers are oversize to the hitch.

Did you see a reason why you couldn't have turned it 180° to get it over the axle like a long bed?

 

I read it was because of a crossmember. I don't see it from your photos. 

 

Then I read it was for turning clearance with the cab.

The 5th wheel system is rear of the axle so it will provide enough clearance between the rear of the cab and the front of the fifth wheel without having to use a slider hitch. Typically anyone that tells people on the RV forums that they still need a slider for this new truck will have one for sale or doesn't know how to set up a hitch.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      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.

      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?
