Approx 13k a year on mine. Hopefully that'll go down this year, since I'll have a highway trip here and there, and virtually no DD. It'll make me miss the truck though, and that'll make driving it even better :)

With my drove to class being 125 miles one way on the highway at 70 MPH ill be getting an exhaust with less drone. Looking at MBRP. I do that drive once a week and looking to drove cross country in the next few months going to my old base

"Own your own business....experience freedom" as the commercial says...HA!!! I work my regular day job and then run a small business on the side too so it gets pretty crazy sometimes. But I do enjoy the 2nd job I do so it's not bad.

Beach today... Played in the sand.. BBQ, swim, and watch some tv.:

 

Gotta dumb the picture down because of tapatalk but the original picture looks bad ass

My wife will take the truck to a shop tomorrow to get an estimate for a spray-on box liner.

 

My neighbor got it done on his Dodge and it looks awesome.

 

@ GPGuy

Sometimes I'm thinking to start a small one on the side too. Problem is only that we are so busy in the summer.

You won't be disappointed, make sure you get them to spray over the rails too. I've had it in 3 trucks now, never go back.

Appointment for Wednesday. $ 525 CAD. I think it is ok.

 

Thought about to do it by myself. We got a big shop at the company I'm working for. But as I said. We are freaking busy in the summer.

 

I make more money working than I would save by doing it on my own.

And the guy is a pro. I'm not.

How in the hell does that happen? Did they come and get you or was it just left like that? If someone left their car against my truck like that they'd be finding alternate transportation home afterward.

Yea I get to work around 5:15am. Sometime during the day (left for a meeting at 2:50pm) this car backed in and was against my bumper. WTF. I had a different car do it to my Tahoe earlier this yr luckily no damage. People are idiots

 

another reason why I dont drive the camaro to work. Everyone gives me grief but there is no way.

Is the lot just for where you work? If so I'd of tracked them down and beaten them. :lol: Or taken a bat to the mirrors since they clearly don't use them anyhow.

yea pretty big lot. I didnt fly off the handle because I didnt see any visual damage and I was running late to a meeting in another building. Plus there were tons of people in the lot. I took a pic for evidence.

I would have pushed it all over the parking lot. :lol:

 

Cleaned interior and touched up paint this evening, 79 degree high today. Lovin 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?   
    • 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
