This is the frost vehicle I have upgraded things in that need more juice so I decoded to go all new and researched before I bought. I am at a loss right now. I drove on the freeway and when merging my airbag light came on and ipc shut down.

 

I pulled over checked the wiring and belt. They were fine. Started it up and then it said service brake booster.

 

Shut off again and restarted and all is well.

Hey ryan can you post a simple list of the steps you took to get the truck were you wanted it to be...ready for winter..

I dont have a garage so id like to really get our vehicles ready for the winter elements coming,

 

Sure I will later tonight here

Got the oil changed and picked up some batteries for some of the pistols I carry (Crimson Trace laser grips) now that my CPL finally arrived.

Step 1. 2 bucket wash (using grit guards) using ONR (optimum no rinse) and a schmitt foam wash mitt

Step 2. Cleaned the paint using Ultima paint cleaning system. It is kind of like a claybar, but its actually a foam block. Used this for the first time. It worked ok.

Step 3. Used some Adam's waterless car wash just to make sure everything was clean

Step 4. Sealed paint using Blackfire Cystal sealant. This stuff is great. Spary on the paint and use a small foam pad to wipe into the truck. I let this cure for at least 24 hours before step 5

Step 5. Topped the sealant with Collinite 845. Used a simialr foam pad to apply

Foam pad used for step 4 & 5

Hope this helps. Pretty simple 2 day process

Did you noticed the other questions i had before or after your last post? What do you think

I go between my phone and computer so I miss some things. I got 24k gold ring terminals made by Stinger. A stereo shop may have it all I got my stuff from Darvex.com. 15 ft of cable, and 4 sets of terminals the subtotal was $84.81 then add the $54.70 for 2 day shipping for a grand total of $139.51 for that.

 

I wanted to find good stuff but no one around here used stinger and that was more of a want than a need.

Wanna do mine Ryan? Lol

 

Sure $100 an hour labor

Here's what's been pooping in my backyard. I put him in the back of the truck and hauled him off to some woods on our property.

How many hours is a full detail? :lol:

    • 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.  
    • 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?
