Lets see how big we can make this thread haha

 

today I bought a integration device for my stock HU so i can hook my subs up but got frustrated with the wiring harness and stopped.. i need a write up on how to do this..

Sorry I'm boring today. I only had to take out the trash and recycling to the Recycle Center today. My next project is to set up my inverter in the cab (400 watt). Finally be able to run everything that needs power on the road trips.

Still in the "shop". Went over entire race car, nut and bolted, new tires, scaled it, new torque are, torsion bars, moved a little weight to the right rear....Cleaned body panels and reinstalled, changed shock gas pressure, rebuilt extra shocks, bought a couple different weight coil springs and a few extra torsion bars.

 

Still have to change oil, filter, clean air filter, tranny fluid, gear oil, power steering fluid, charge battery, fill fuel jugs, load back everything into the trailer and get ready to go Friday. Also need to mount the new spare tires on the wheels and hang them on the rack inside the trailer after they are grooved and grinded........

 

Other than that, not doing much at all.

Nothing much just put about 250 miles on the ole girl today toting the wife around on a road trip!! :jester:

Drove the truck 120 miles south to Los Angeles to go to the veterans hospital and drove back. Achieved 16.66 MPG avg

Went for a boot on my cr250, cleaned/adjusted chain, bled forks, checked spokes, cleaned air filter, changed oil and a general spit shine. Saturday is oil change in the pickup, and grease job.

I pulled it out of the garage today for the first time since April 29th. Havent been able to drive due to my surgery.

Changed oil last night and sent a sample to Blackstone Labs for analysis. Putting together a shopping list today for supplies I need to wash/wax/detail the truck & motorcycle this weekend.

Oil change and new spark plugs.

 

Lifter ticking is gone...but I'm not sure if it is because of the new oil or if the ticking came from a loose plug.

Glad I've discovered the loose plug before it went ballistic and/or ripped out the thread.

 

Do I really have to check everything when I buy a used truck? Better do, but who's got the time for such BS... :rolleyes: .

 

so long

    • Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?  
    • 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.  
    • 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?
