Just worn out or admiring your new rubber?

Drove the truck to work then drove around in the Mercedes for the day. I had forgotten why I hated that car until I had to open the gate. Then finished out the day in my truck. I love the new tune

Well tires are on. Less than thrilled with the shop though- one wheel has three little weights instead of a large one and there is gauging in one wheel that I'm pretty sure was not there before. Live and learn, I should've inspected the truck before and after I guess.

Any reason why they didn't put the weights on the inside of the rim?

Too late now. They're on the outside. I don't care when it's done right but this was a hack job. Not happy considering I spent nearly a grand all said and done.

Spent several hours with this stuff:

Only to have the truck trapped inside of the garage due to rain. But that's okay...the truck rarely leaves there. I did want to get some better quality shots though.

My 4.8 let go a head gasket at just over 100k so start saving

as much as i dont like the 4.8, yours losing a head gasket at 100k was a freak thing. they are reliable engines..

 

I'm trying.to decide which car I'll use to.take past my personal high of 260k miles. But so far we have driven the Tahoe 2300 miles since October. So probably won't be it, lol.

 

your corolla will make it past 260.. they are bulletproof

Lol @ freak thing! My head gaskets are the freaks! Stock still btw :lol:

Your crappy iPhone pics sure look nice. I did the same,but that was a couple of hours ago. Thank goodness for California car dusters.

Yeah it does okay, but I hate chopped off shots...which was the best I could do ATM. My paint was in serious need of correction and I think I did a decent job and giving some life back to it.

Well issues with the way the hacks used wheel weights aside, I do like the AT3s so far. Ride smoother than the lousy OE Bridgestones ever did and they seem quieter too. Obviously it'll be a while before they get a winter test (I hope at least!) as the only other thing I have planned is the dunes in June and tires don't matter much for most vehicles. My first time there in 2008 I rode with a friend who had BFG M/Ts that may as well of been slicks and he went everywhere. Including up Test in reverse. :lol:

 

275s are a snug fit, makes me wonder if they'll rub offroad. This is about 3/4 lock:

Don't blame the tires mike, we all know it was the driver :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
