What Color is My Interior?

Ok,

 

Not to sound like too stupid of newb, but here goes. How do I determine what color my interior is? I see that there were only three interior colors offered in the Silverado for my year and I know what they look like. But, I need to know what GM refered to them as.

 

The reason being is that I am going to order the custom leather column shifter and dash handle that JP customs makes. But, when you order them the colors are listed by GM's description. It gets confusing because they offer the colors for all of GM and since from brand to brand they are different it increases my confusion. Obviously this would be a very expensive mistake to make.

 

So, I have a 2001 Silverado with leather interior. Mine's the darkest of the two grays. From what I gather there is the tan (neutral), the lighter gray (medium gray) and the dark gray I have (graphite).

 

Am I correct in thinking that the factory name for my leather is graphite? I appreciate any help that anyone can provide. I can post a pic of my interior if further clarification of the color is needed.

 

Thanks.

Hmmm...I'm thinking "graphite" or "charcoal" is what it's called. Same color as mine.

 

 

 

 

Yeah, I think "charcoal" sounds more fitting, but "graphite" is one of the choices on JP's website. Thanks for the info.

It's "Graphite" not charcoal for Chevrolet. The GMC version is referred to as "Dark Pewter".

Look on the window sticker if it is still in the truck or take you vin to a chevy parts dept and they will tell you the color name.

 

 

 

 

:confused:

same question for an '01 silverado...my center seat console is broken (evidently a common problem from my researching) and the only way to fix it is to buy the whoel seat (which i think is retarded)...my interior is grey, which i think would be the med gray, but where is this color code on the door or glove box to be sure the colors match when i order my new seat?

Why dont you just look up your RPO code that is on the sticker in your glove box? Write down the codes and then go here and then you will know exactly what you have. http://www.gm-trucks.com/rpo/ :D

 

 

 

 

:confused:

ok did that...maybe you can tell me which one on that list in the glove box is the code for the color of my interior? what about the window sticker method? where is this sticker?

The window sticker he is talking about is the one that is there on the truck when it is new at the dealership, telling you the price and all of the options on the truck. Since your truck is older you probably didn’t keep that sticker. I tried looking for your color codes for your truck there at that link I gave you, and your right the codes are not listed for the interior colors on your year of truck :confused: . If you write that list of the 30+ RPO codes in the glove box, the dealer can tell you over the phone usually. Just make sure you talk to the service department and not get one of the teenage girls that work there. They also might be able to tell you from just VIN number. If that doesn’t work take it to an automotive upholstery shop. They would defiantly know which one you have.

I have a similar problem with my GMC. what color is this blue interior called? and why didi GMC have to be difficult and make a new color when I'm trying to find a new jump seat console lid?

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

      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

      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?
