My truck stayed safe while my son learned to ride his bike. 1st time no training wheels and he is good to go

Then he drove my truck really fast (at least what he told me)

How old is he Ryan? I'm pretty sure I was into like first grade before I could go without training wheels. Maybe I'm just bad at learning. :lol:

Wow, that seems young to have mastered two wheels! Pretty cool. You should get him on a dirt bike. Maybe he can be a motocross champ and get you into a good old folks home when he grows up. :lol:

 

In unrelated news I think I'd like a 2012 grill for my truck with the split bar.

I hope those work better on your truck than they do on Jeeps, ProComp shocks have pretty much sucked in my expierience

Me too, I just needed them for the length, and maybe being I don't have a big suspension lift, it will work better but time will tell!

I love split bars. On my truck and the new ones.

I backed into someone in a parking lot. Dent in my back bumper

My pro comps are holding up they squeak but they've been thru hell so far and still work great

Put 28 gallons of fuel in...works out to 13.11 mpg for the previous tank. Drove the truck to work thinking the storm might start before I left work and flood the streets like it usually does when it pours. My car wouldn't make it out if that happened. Instead the sun was out when I left for the day, go figure.

From what I read, people who have put a big lift on their trucks only had issues with the ride being a bit harsh off-roading but I will know soon enough!

Not with fts my truck rides amazing compared to rough country which has rough right in their name

Welllll, I don't know why I didn't even think to check or even remember that the front shocks have a bracket for mounting but I didn't notice that they gave me the incorrect shocks, or at least they didn't supply the hardware for the install so I can't put them on just yet until I get info on monday......

    • 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
