Done multiple different levels on the front to try and get to no rubbing with the bigger tires and spacers.  1.5" 2" and now 2.5".

 

Super Cruise works fine still and commute weekly from OKC to DFW and use it the whole time.   I think my mind has tricked me into thing that it wonders a little more but I really think that just depends on lane markers and light levels.  Sometimes the sun washes out the lane markers and I feel that makes it harder for supercuirse to find them.

3.5" rough country lift with 285-65r20 no problem with super cruise or anything else. 

 

Hard to tell from your photo, did you do any trimming to fit those 285-65r20 tires?

The only question I have is - If you have the pre-collison breaking but not the super-cruise stuff (Elevation trim) can you still level/lift without causing problems with the pre-collison stuff? Or are you able to get that recalibrated?

What brand lift did you go with?

Dealer had a Rough County and put 35/12.50’s on 22’s.  Definitely had to trim a lot.

That annoying pre collision junk still works too.

just want to confirm the rough country 3.5 kit for the Denali with super cruise works  and super cruise still works when the  kit is added?

I think you answer is already here. But, it’s pretty safe to say that if supercruise still works on a 6” Rough Country lift, it will work on a 3.5” Rough Country lift.

No issues so far got 9000 miles on it now. I used the rough country 3.5 kit for the denali. 

I merely changed the set of tires from 275 55 R22 to 275 60 R20 (due to driving on rough roads) and the tire shop said that will be 2.something % smaller diameter (a closer one would be a 65 wall = 0.7%) anyways; the super cruise does work sometimes but not as much as it is with stock size tires 

I also asked GMC if I can lift it, I got the same answer as the GM rep answer above 

 

it comes down to this I guess; is your SC picking up on the same roads before and after the lift? Or it is picking up on some roads?

      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?
