I haven't had surgery yet. They say I'm too young. But I think part of it is the Department of Veterans Affairs is taking care of my medical so its not the greatest. I get poked and prodded by UCLA Med students

i made them do surgery on me i was in such horrible pain they tried everything first though of course.. cortizone, PT, drugs.. i had surgery a week before my 18th birthday and im 22 now

 

 

i went to another mud run, and set up a toggle switch for my subs

 

I am 22. About to be 23 in like 3 weeks. But I'm dealing with the government not private insurance which sucks. I hurt it right after I turned 21. Alcohol not involved. If/when they do surgery they will have to fuse like 3 bones

 

But on topic went on a 5 am drove to pick up my brothers from their dads house for mothers day

Today's project...the pitman arm has been replaced. The first arm I bought didn't exactly fit correctly, miscut grooves, so I had to exchange it for another. I did need an assist to change the arm on the steering gear, local auto parts store, but everything else went pretty smooth. Good to have tight, responsive steering again. I was kind of nervous about pulling the steering gear out but ended up being pretty slick, although the gear is heavier than I anticipated. Just in case anyone was wondering I have the 4-groove pitman. Sorry, no pics, too much grease and power steering fluid to hold the camera.

you can haul 15 bales without a trailer, i did in my shortbox a couple weeks ago

 

 

im not rich so i cant afford a fancy pants HU right now, but i did get my subs hooked up today and they double as a back massager, truck sounds ridiculous now haha

 

 

What kind of woofers did you hook up? What type of amp?

I always use the gas station on the east end of town accross from the Jellystone Campground. I think they are $0.75 there but I can do all 4 of my 35's in one cycle going from 10lbs up to 30lbs....... that's alot of air. DAR there is always a line for the air hoses and they take FOREVER to fill a 35. Silverpoint is always so dang busy

Ive had em for a couple years just took them out of my buick, they are 2 Kenwood w3012s 12" 1200 watt peak 400 rms 4 ohm, the amp is Kenwoods 1800 watt peak 500 rms monoblock wired them at 2 ohms and they sound great

yea right now its not soo crowded theres a line at DAR but anywhere else is like ghost town right now, it definetely sucks when it gets busy so i try to go when its not busy. I agree DAR has slow air, silverpoints is relatively quick im done in a couple mins.

Ordered some tires. Nothing more to report other than the fact that I really neglect my truck these days.

I use to do 12's, but I like my 2 10's now ever since I got my truck. I have to finish this week some final waxing and prep for a car show this Sunday.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      So, do I go elbow-deep on this thing or list it for sale and play dumb? Seems to "runs good."   I'm about $1200 away from having: -a rebuilt injector ($300) -a new cat ($250) -a new cat back exhaust (OE style) ($300) -a new AC compressor ($200) -AC refrigerant charge ($150)   In theory, this should rectify the obvious detracting issues from its value and operability. Cold AC with a non-squeaking AC pulley both sounds and feels good. An exhaust that isn't cut/hacked in 17 different places and doesn't vibrate on a crossmember would make it sound and feel less janky. A working cat would help the stink, and will save the earth, but *if and only if* the fuel system is working properly, which would also address the intermittent "rich" CEL.   Heard a good one... CEL for "Rich condition" means you haven't spent enough money on the truck lately, and it's letting you know.   Rebuilding the injector would seem to be the most important part. Replacing the cat would be secondary. I don't think mine is plugged or overly restricted, but it might be a little restricted? I have no good way to tell other than seat of the pants feel. I hate the smell.   The current theory is I have a rich idle problem: A bad fuel pressure regulator, or a leaking injector(s) being the highest probabilities. I already replaced the FPR but that doesn't mean its replacement isn't also bad. It was a new part from Dorman, but the packaging looked like it had been sitting on a shelf for 20 years.   This is the (single) upstream O2 sensor shown at idle. I'm getting a lot of "rich" it seems. Sometimes it stays high like that and doesn't drop down. That makes me think it's processing injector leaks or a partially stuck open injector.     Other times it looks like this. Nice oscillations between rich and lean, which is what I think it should be. Under load and at speed, the oscillations are nice and tight and uniform looking, high and low.     Fuel trims suggest the PCM is compensating pretty hard at idle to pull fuel out. But it's not enough to trip a CEL. Something about slowing to a stop: brake vaccum booster, EGR, or the EVAP purge is delayed, or there's pooled fuel in the intake again that's draining into a cylinder is enough to set the CEL. Of course, in two days of driving, it hasn't set. I was hoping to actually look at the freeze-frame data when it sets. IAT is high because it's idling on an 83 degree day here.

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

      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.

      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.
