A bus stops and two Italian men get on. They seat themselves, and engage in animated conversation. The lady sitting behind them ignores their conversation at first, but her attention is galvanized when she hears one of the men say the following.

 

"Emma come first. Denna I come. Two asses, they come together. I come again. Two asses, they come together again. I come again and pee twice. Then I come once-a more."

 

"You foul-mouthed swine," retorted the lady indignantly. "In this country we don't talk about our sex lives in public."

 

"Hey, coola down lady," said the man. "Imma justta tellun my friend howa to spella Mississippi."

A rich businessman came home from work one day just before Christmas and told his wife, "Dear, the company is holding heir Christmas party tonight and I want you to come with me to finally meet my boss and co-workers. I know you don't like parties or big crowds, but I'd really like you to go with me this time."

 

The wife agreed and they went to the party together. The man introduced his wife to his boss and some of his friends from work. After only a half-hour, the wife went up to her husband and said she wasn't having fun and just wanted to go home.

 

"Alright, if you want to go - you can take the car, and I'll find a ride home later," he said disappointingly.  

 

The wife got home and after entering the house, she startled the butler, who was laying on the sofa watching TV. The wife quickly went over to the butler and asked him to take off her blouse. He did. Then she asked him to take off her skirt. He did. Finally, she yelled, "Take off my bra!"

 

The butler did as he was told. And then the wife said, "If I ever catch you wearing my clothes again, you are fired!"

I think both these guys deserve a stage. :thumbs:  :D

Yes, a stage....but there cant be a stage online now can there???.....what could there be what could there be..........can you spell FORUM???????????????

That's kinda what I was thinking.

And no I can't spell FOUREM. :thumbs:

Well, two votes for FORUM.....one more and (as Arlo Guthrie would say) we'll be A MOVEMENT!!!! The Lighter Side of Trucks Forum MOVEMENT.....!

I'm thinking of nominating Kansas Kid for the "Lighter Side of Trucks" moderator.  He's got some funny material!   :thumbs:

Its about dang time somebody nominates me for this job.  Heck, I've only posted 3/4 of the jokes posted in all of the threads Newbie has started.  So I vote for co-moderators of the new forum.  LOL

Oh sure!!!  Real BRAVE guy who sailed over AFTER Columbus?  Real BRAVE guy who stepped on the moon SECOND?  Real BRAVE guy who was SECOND storming the beach at Normandy (OK, he was a really brave guy but you get my point)  I was there first!!  Get you own darn idea you idea stealer you.

    • 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?   
    • Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
