Pics! 1991 1500 4" Lift, BFG M/Ts, New Wheels, more...

 

My 1991 Chevy 1500

(Yes, I know its 2WD, but I want more thoughts and opinions and ideas, so I put it in normal offroad)

 

A few things that have been done:

Repainted

W/T to Silverado Front end conversion

20%/5% Tint

Animated Pioneer Deck

10" MTX

HID Conversion kit

A lot of small things, like hand-painted calipers, stuff like that

 

The recent upgrades:

4" Rough Country Spindle Lift

3" Blocks in the rear

31" BF Goodrich Mud Terrians

16x8 Ion 138 Alloys

 

Have a 3" body lift and light bar waiting to be put on.

 

PICS:

HID Conversion (PM me to buy):

best tires on the planet, and the ion alloys:

hand painted calipers:

Here you can see the trim job i did on the valance with a hand saw, looks real good, and i dont touch it anymore turning or turning while the wheels change elevation:

d**n those HIDs are bright, even in broad daylight:

I'm completely and totally satisfied with the new look, it took weeks to get the thing done (getting wrong parts sent, parts not arriving at all, etc etc), and I was afraid the alloys weren't going to look good on the truck when I was looking at them in the box, but they turned out bueno. I like sitting higher than every car out there, and most pickups, even new 06/07 fords and chevy 4wd/Z71/FX trucks. Let me know what you guys think!

That came out great. Now go get it dirty.

that i did. not too much though, i went on a trail that isnt really muddy, but it did rain the day that i went. theres a hill on the trail that apparently no one has made it up with a 2wd, because they were scared to try, or failed doing it, according to a local-online 4x4 group im apart of. it is gouged out by rain runoff and is real steep, with little lateral room to play with, you can really only go up it one way. but these BFG MTs worked like a champ, made it up no problem, took a lot of power to get up, but minimal spinning. didnt get stuck, had to rock out with reverse and drive once, but thats it. i love these tires :kiss:

anyways, here are some pics. also, the two links have two really short videos (like7 seconds) of running through a small mud hole, both ways.

      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?

      Gas fill door

      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

      By jaszr2 · Posted

      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?
