The best time to go to the store is when it's snowing....less people on the roads. :thumbs:

Well there is snow in the forecast for Wed night so that means every one will buy up all the bread and milk in the next couple of days. :thumbs::fume::lol:

 

That always cracks me up about your area there Don. When I was working there years back, had a prediction of snow, I couldn't believe the stampede on the stores. I know you can get some good snows sometime. I think it was '96 or '97 as I recall when I was there.

Good thing dad has a dairy farm...and a 500 gallon bulk tank....no shortage of milk if we got snowed in. But doubt that with an 8 foot snow blower on a 115hp tractor...haha

The first mention of snow in KY and people go into panic mode. If your not fast, you wont find find bread, milk, or a slab of balogna (KY Round Steak)for miles!

I never understood how stupid and scared people can be, the peddle on the right, push it down and the faster you go (when in gear) let off the slower you go. Slow and just take your time, thats all we do, Oh! and don't hit your dam brakes so hard. :fume: I think 1/3 of the roads here have 1/2 to 2" of ice on them, slow and no sudden movements. Good time for a northern bank robber to head south. :thumbs: Funny Stuff.

Real soldiers don't need last minute grocery raids!!!! LOL

I do, the majority of drone stupid sheep out there.... :lol:

Yeah snow in the south is a sign of certain doom so everyone stocks up. I went to Wal-Mart last night and everyone was stocking up on things. I was just going in to get some sprite for my Crown. Thats what I stocked up with :lol:

Yeah it does kill me being from the north and seeing what 1" of snow does to the DC metro area. Now the last storm I understand. Plowing sucked ars. Every gas station in the county was out of gas as well. Almost 20" in the last storm and you still see people out. I don't how many cars were asking me to the pull them out. I just kind of laugh at them and move on to the next property to plow.

5" and its like the apocolypse. News 24/7 STOP 5" of snow isnt that bad

 

The dog loves it though :lol:

    • 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
