I need a grille guard like my old 2000 had.

 

Or a raging temper like mine when it comes to idiots and my vehicles. Meeting or not, I'd of found time to get even. And by even, I mean do something to satisfy my temper. :lol:

A girl at school last year backed her daddy's new f150 into my truck... Since it was on the back bumper I just glared at her and left. She wasn't even looking behind her. I should have yelled at her or something for being stupid I guess, but I figured it was good she bumped my truck instead of running over someone. Had a dream that night about repeatedly running my front bumper into the side of her truck yelling "how do YOU like it bi$&@!!!"

Received my Autocal from BlackBear. Since it had only been 5 business days and they are in CA and I in MD, I didn't really think it would be there when I got home from work. I was beyond happy to see it. I have done all the initial work on my laptop and made sure the Autocal's firmware is up to date. Now I need to figure out how to retrieve the stock tune and data log. Does it matter which order I do that in? Hoping to data log and send Justin an email by Sunday if not by tomorrow evening.

nope it doesnt matter. Just make sure if you data log first to clear that off before you pull the stock tunes from the truck. The memory in the autocal isnt the largest.

Cool... Thanks. I just pulled the stock tunes (I hope). Read E38 and it saved as E38_001 and Read T43 and it saved as T43_002, or at least thats what I believe it said. Should I plug the autocal back into my computer before data logging (since I pulled the stock tunes 1st) and if so will it prompt me where to put them? If not where do I save them to? Sorry, not trying to hijack this thread.

I create a folder and put them in there. Doesn't prompt you you have to move them

Thanks... I was going into the scan and tune icon and not the efi explorer utility. I had already created the folder. Got the stock eng and trans tunes on the laptop now.

You joke but some people do that stuff- I passed an older Caravan coming back from IL today that was hopelessly overloaded and through the tinted glass I could see what had to have been a child hopping around in the back amongst all the crap in the van.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

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

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
