yea exactly, some guy in south bend strap his kids to the hood a few months ago. Idiots!

Took the truck thru a nice muddy trail and shot the arsenal today. Had a sheriff show up and thought it was cool so he sat around and watched. Lol. Busted some donuts when leaving, now watching some pre- season with a few brews.

Shoulda challenged the cop to a shoot off!

He wouldn't shoot his or any of the others we had laying around. I did challenge him and he just started laughing.

Drove about 2 hrs to Oxnard, CA to the ATRA Horsepower For An Hour Car show with my brother. Great turnout and great time for a free car show. Too many pics of nice cars, so if you want to see here's the Photobucket link and Youtube link for a video tour. The video is about 13 minutes but check it out. A lot of nice cars. Every car is in the video and I think I got every car in a picture. Got my Pic with Miss California too. She's pretty damn hot. Those are in the album too.

 

Photos are available now http://s40.photobuck... Show 20120818/

Just hit 12k miles this week. Performed oil change number 3. Fresh Mobil1 5w30 and ACDelco filter. I'm sure someone will say I'm wasting money, but I try to get 'em changed before or by 5k miles.

 

Oh, and check/adjusted tire pressure.

Did a pain in the ass door speaker swap. 7 hours, 3 trips to parts stores, a tube of JB Weld, and an 18 pack later the front doors are done. Back doors tomorrow.

Most of the truck's day with me sitting on an ice chest

Grape you go work on that we don't want to hear back from you until all of your complex can hear you!!! (Glad I live in the country!!!) :jester:

Hooked to to the horse tailer and moved it in front of the hog pens. When it cools down a lil I'm going to load 11 pigs. Then tomorrow morning about 5 I'm going to tow them about 2 hrs north to an auction

    • 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
