Now it needs a bath :)

Replaced the voltage regulator on my 4 wheeler yesterday. POS. lol Tonight trying to find a leak in my window a/c unit. Got the tap on, dye in the system and ran for 15 mins, but can't see any leaks yet. Probably need to add freon 1st. Only running 50 psi on low side. Tag says 200 somthing psi.

Finally got my rental!! The insurance adjuster blamed the car place the car place said "oh you did not come get it Friday so we thought that you did not want it" and they did not call any one to check on it. That was Tuesday, and they did not have any more cars to rent going to have some shipped in. Called me today and said my rental was here I could come get it. When I got there all I saw was a f150 crew cab!! Shocked me that they got me a truck, I will write up my thoughts on the ecoboost after I drive it a day or two. :jester:

Jim, make sure you run that Furd through the tests, like 0 to 100 to 0, the brake torque test, the mud hole test, the drifting test and any other you can think of, lol. All of this testing will be for product research of coarse :)

 

 

I did drive around with my foot in the gas today to test the new exhaust... Quiet when needed and aggressive under acceleration.

Well the way "carma" works is once you get one you won't hit anything lol. I haven't hit any deer with this truck, but I have with the one on our work truck. I've managed to stop in time in this truck. One of my friends rolled his car though, so I got to push it around some. :lol:

 

In a rural area, it's not if, it's when. Some you cant avoid. I've had one friend who totaled his truck on a cow, and one almost totaled on a deer. From looking at the design of the bumper it'll take more than the truck can.

Maybe? Doubt it will change it much if at all. My air raid MIT didn't change the tune at all

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

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      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.

      Active Grille Delete

      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?
