I have the Greenstuff. Which I thought was supposed to be a more off road oriented pad. I really like everything about them other than the dust.

I use the same pads and they said low dust, but my beautiful red calipers and wheels are always covered in dust. If that's low dust compared to their other stuff I would not use them. I may look into different pads next time

Well I installed the new CV front shaft and turns out... that was the problem the entire time (for the most part). No noise in 2wd or 4wd, but while decelerating in 4wd from 10 mph, it sounds like something is grabbing and releasing up front, but I ain't worried about it lol

My brother upgraded and has a gm now. And I may have pissed someone off. I piss a lot of people off

 

Yes especially other mods gloating about your weather. I wouldn't destroy anyone's property though

Washed it and sitting in the garage right now to get a Fold-A-Cover G4 Elite installed tonight, and if I get ambitious will pull axle riser blocks as well

Went this morning and pull my dumb buddy out of the ditch because he thought he could drive in the blizzard last night.

I like living in civilization close to freeway systems and a Starbucks on every corner

We have everything you have(I admit, less volume of places) within 20 minutes, except maybe a Fry's. And Tulsa's BOK center was one of the top entertainment venues in the country last year, beating some huge names from NY and CA. Paul McCartney even kicked off one of his Tours at it(Not that I care, lol).

 

We got snow today here. 22 degrees and 1 inch. I love this weather personally. It was 60 a few day ago.

 

Probably change the oil. Going to try From filter again. Read on BITOG that the newer tough guard and synthetic are great filters now.

I'll take living away from the big city with corn and cotton fields and open country less than 5 minutes away. Rivers and lakes and land to hunt on trumps a starbucks and congested traffic w bad drivers any day in my books. But if i do need to go to a big city there is one 45~ minutes away :)

There's really not a big city in Kansas. Which is fine by me.

 

SnakeEyes, you're braver than me. I've seen a couple Fram's pop pinholes, and won't use them. :lol:

I'd take the weather and maybe some California "medicine" tomorrow as I'll start working on the dock with temps -18° to -20° and an anticipated wind chill between -35° and-50°.

      Gas fill door

      By newdude · Posted

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

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

      By newdude · Posted

      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.

      Active Grille Delete

      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?
