Had to do a case study and it was a good one.

fourth of july in the sandd

 

 

My buddy turned on some pantera and i decided to open in up on the beach and drift at 60+ mph on some wet sand and this guy appeared out of nowhere and bottomed out the blazer chasing me down LOL

Stuck

I see this all the time and can literally tell you who will get stuck just by looking at them.. an excursion decides to pull a jeep out the exit hill and of course gets stuck.. i cant tell you how many times this happened in front of me today

I drove and got some fatty fatty num nums today

I miss my truck. It's sitting in an airport garage and I'm in Saudi Arabia.

found my truck on google street view

Drove her the last 2 days after a brake line on the daily driver(dad's old 99 Lesabre) let go. Talk about a pucker factor moment. Thankfully, I had grass to swerve onto and avoid going through the car in front of us.

Installed my GMPP muffler and SSBC big bite rotors last week. Also installed my AMP power steps last night.

 

Washed the truck this morning. Its been filthy for the past 2 weeks due to rain almost everyday, and there is a chance everyday for the next week but I had to lol.

Typical weekend of knocking out the honeydo list. Trash/recycling, gassed up the truck and gas can for the mower, move this here, no put that there. Then a family outing for a drive around town for dinner & dessert.

On Saturday morning I installed my new steps on the truck

http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=146225

Then I went for dinner with the wife a kid, picked up a few people after that ans drank a whole lot of beer and play beer pong for the first time. Everyone like the new steps so that made my day then today I washed the truck and used some quick detailer.

Nothing with my truck, I'm still in Saudi Arabia. But the engineer who has been driving my coworker and I from the hotel to the jobsite stopped for fuel today. Here, fuel is 0.60 Riyals per liter, or about 2.40 Riyals per gallon. It takes 3.75 Riyals to get $1 USD so that means premium is about 61 cents per gallon. Regular is 43 cents/gal. Quite a few fullsize GM SUVs here, mostly 900s. A few of the 900 pickups too. Tons and tons of Hilux trucks and ones from Suzuki and Mitsubishi. The military has some seriously awesome 2-door Series 70 Toyota Land Cruisers. The Series 70s were sold as 4-doors here for a short while and are awesome rigs- front, center and rear diff locks, good I6 engine and the short wheelbase of the 2-door makes them nimble little things. I've also seen at least 3 generations of the Caprice here and I really wish GM would hurry up and sell me one. :lol: I know the SS is coming but it will likely be a very well equipped model and I won't be able to afford it. Here, they can be had like a mid-range Impala- cloth seats, simple stereo but with RWD and a 6.0 V8! :D

 

Also seen a very nice Lambo and tonight a Rolls Royce. Sorry, no pics. I left my phone at home as it would not work here.

What did I do with my truck today? I KICKED THE S.O.B cause I walked into my trailer hitch and smacked my shin on the reciever, hurt like a S.O.B. so I kicked the damn trailer ball. :mad:

    • 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
