Not sure if being the talk of the horse show is a good thing b/c they may have been laughing at you. I guess if you like it that's all that matters though...

 

 

 

Whats wrong with his truck? Not every truck has to be lifted and debadged to look nice you know... :rolleyes:

Man......I feel like drinking me an orange crush drink..... :):) ..Nice looking setup....

What are the graphics on your hood and what does it say?? Where did you get them???

I'll be nice and say it just isn't my style... There's a difference in being tastefully done and being overdone, and this truck is a little too overdone IMO. Like I said though, if he likes it more power to him, but I jus tknow something like that is bound to get a few laughs every now and then.

Dragged myself out of bed today with a bad sinus infection... to answer a few things, if you like your truck plain and boring thats cool, if you think mine is overdone thats your opinion and thats fine. It's not for everyone. I think its tastefully done, its not a chromed out jcwhitney special lol. Everything was done and blends from outside to inside. From the horse show, when everyone was looking or talking, they was saying how cool the truck and trailer were. MY truck has never been laughed at cflub, I get kudos where ever I go, almost on a daily basis. Thumbs up, + comments, pics with cellphones etc. Had a bunch of horse people at that show saying how cool, neat etc it was as they walked by. I also have a bunch of car tropheys from car shows too. To answer BlackZ71 in regards to the horse trailer, there was crud on top, first thing was to scrape any loose rust/paint off, then power wash, anti rust primer where needed. Then about 3 coats of gloss orange paint. It still needs another coat on the sides of the roof yet. We also gave a fresh coat of white inside with orange trim. Now going back to bed before I collapse.

I appreciate you pulling yourself from your deathbed to respond to my post. Just like you said, you prefer your trucks to have flair, I like mine to look like something GM would put out of the factory as a special package and if you consider that plain then so be it. I probably get just as many nods and thumbs up as yours but from a different crowd I'm sure. As far as trophies from truck shows, I've been there and done that as well as been featured on DVD's and magazines so $10 plastic does nothing for me. I've got more than I can count from national shows not local high school shows where everyone gets a trophy. I think its just best to say we can agree to not like each others trucks and move on and if your feelngs get hurt over it maybe you shouldn't post pictures on the web for others to criticize or critique.

i like trucks

 

 

I like both of their trucks...

 

 

 

This post is about the trailer not the truck but dbag has other ideas.

I reluctantly edited two posts in this thread, trying to bring things back in line. Let's give this another shot. Please stay on topic.

 

While I could never pull off bright orange, I do think it looks pretty bad-ass. :cold:

The trailer matching the tow vehicle looks good..Doesn't look out of place being the same color.

 

If that's not your style that's fine. It could be worse though. He could have removed all the black from the truck and painted everything the same color, even the plastic on the tailgats and rear bumpers.......... Now that would be over done. :dunno:

      Gas fill door

      By newdude · Posted

      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.

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

      By jake111 · Posted

      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?
