Im more pissed than anything. I was going to take a back road because of construction in the area. I didnt do it because I thought that it wouldnt be bad on a Saturday night. Looking at $800 in parts before prep/paint/install and cab body work. It will be a while before ita back to being nice and shiny. Im glad it hit on the left instead of the truck hitting the right because I had a passenger. Sent from my Samsung GS4 using Xparent Red Tapatalk 2

Chris, just confirm you and your passenger were uninjured, (not counting pride). That this was strictly PDO (property damage only???). Sorry to hear it happening to the world's best/most modified truck. I know you'll bounce back better than ever from it. Hang in there! Glad you're OK!

 

Broken toe but unrelated to the accident. I did that 5 minutes before leaving the house that night. But we were both uninjured from it.

On the plus side I think I will get rid of the Kool-Vue mirrors, well mirror. I may get the DL3 and a set of GM tow mirrors

Ouch. Good luck with everything Chawkins.

 

Came back from vacation 4 days early. One of the twins was flipping out constantly. We get back in the house and hes back in his comfort zone now.

 

13.5 MPG on E85, loaded with my wife and I, the twins in the heavy Fort Knox equivalent carseats, third row removed but packed to the ceiling. a lot of time in the mountains. It was 70 cents cheaper than premium and we normally get 15 mpg on premium.

I signed a bet with my brothers. It's for lowest body fat percentage based off our scale. We are taking 3 routes, 1 brother is going natural with diet and exercise, 1 is doing diet, exercise, and I will keep everything the same with the exception that I will be taking a dietary supplement

How long is this test? I'd like to see the results.

Man, when factoring in certain supplements, you might keep you BMI higher than your bro but like I said, depends on what you are taking and also how intense you both are working out.

That's some potent stuff! I took two of them things once before I slowly introduced them to my body and thought my heart was going to explode. Also thought I could lift a house but yeah, helped me shed a few pounds.

You're in the air force, I failed a fitness test and had to go on mandatory PT. Those helped me a lot. Been a couple years since I have taken them

Woke up this morning to my brother's car stolen. It isn't worth a dime, just an inconvenience

      Vehicle Payments

      By KARNUT · Posted

      This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

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

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.
