05 Kawasaki Prairie 360 4wd. This thing has been driven into the ground and worked hard. Plowing 2 foot of snow twice in one year is pretty extreme on a quad. Im surprised it hasn't blown up yet

I havent seen my truck since I got here. These guys just want to take cabs

Expensive but so much easier!

Washed with dish soap

and after that.....?

I decided to do a 3 day detail instead of doing it in one day first day was interior cleaning 2nd was cleaning exterior with dish soap to remove wax and today I clay barred buffed out some bad spots, out put protectant on the plastics and hand waxed entire truck plus wheels here's the result

I miss mine. On a work trip and I have a Mazda 5. Hate it. Seat doesn't go back enough so driving is crazy uncomfortable.

Sold mine... yep. Have thought about it before, but didn't wake up this morning planning to be truckless by the end of the day. I got a nice offer. Now looking to possibly get a 2500 or 3500 Duramax. Not getting another 1500. I have the original 17"s with goodyear tires if someone local is interested. They are the 6spoke. Tires have about 10k miles of use on them. They still have tpms in them. $500.

So while the 3 of us were in the truck, it hit 132,000

good choice... are you looking to get a 13' or a 14' 2500? if you could wait a few more months you should be able to get a killer deal on a 900 2500.

Picked my truck up from the dealer again. 3 days same problem. Will not quit vibrating!! 2012 Sierra 1500 8000 miles. I should of stayed with the 03 duramax. I will never buy another 1/2 ton again.

Constant vibrating or while on the brakes? I wonder if the factory was suppose to put the hydraulic cab cushions/mounts but didn't. I think those were meant to solve some kind of vibration issue

    • 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
