Nice. That's my favorite price.

Chris, congrats on the 6.0, I loved my '07 vmax. Don't eat that whole burrito, you may blow a different gasket...

 

HA!!! LOL..

Drove down to Indy yesterday, grabbing lunch and then I'll be on my way back home. I'll have surpassed 40,000 miles by then.

What part of town are you in?

 

 

 

I was at IUPUI right in downtown, stayed at a Holiday Inn Express across from Lucas Oil stadium. Just an overnight trip though, I'm back home now. If I'm back in town I'll let ya know.

Mike, if the boss(or wife) asks you today if you got a particular task completed, just look them dead in the eye and say "No, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night"...

 

Yeah, I know, but I'm tired and I entertain easily.

I've been doing the road warrior thing for almost six years now and the company's preferred hotel is Holiday Inn. I'm pretty sure I've used that joke up. :lol:

That's cool. A bunch of our money went to that school (wife went to pt school there$

My family has too, sister graduated dental hygenist school, her husband graduated dental school from there.

 

The girlfriend was accepted for dental school there but ended up going to Detroit, liked the school's dental program a bit better.

I am embarrassed to say there is an IU doctorate degree next to my Purdue Master's degree :lol:. At least her undergrad is from Purdue.

The truck got dropped off for surgery, I hate the Altima I got for a rental

Posted

Ordered the Airaid MIT intake tube for the truck. Been meaning to for ages but never got to it. Of course now I order it when it barely is getting into the 30s outside. :lol: And a new air filter too- never changed that. :lol:

Looks good Sarah

 

Nice buy mike, makes the engine bay look so much better

My engine bay is filthy. If we ever meet up when I'm in the Indy area I'm gonna be ashamed cause my truck is perpetually dirty. :lol:

I haven't. If I ever need a doctor or a lawyer I'm calling you. After all, you did...oh nevermind. :rolleyes:

 

 

I'm probably the last person in the world you should take medical or legal advice from. :lol: But since you asked- eat two cheeseburgers before bed and rob a gas station in the morning. :lol:

    • 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
