Gonna need more than 6", trust me Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Got a brand new 3 inch body lift sitting in my room at home! Why 37's? 35's or 33's do better just cause the truck doesn't have to work as hard to turn em. Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkBecause i know when i get 35s im just going to say i wish i got some 37x13.5s ! And because i want to have the biggest truck :)

 

Yeah I went from 33 to 35 and now I want 37's. Once these 35's wear out I'm getting my 37's :D

One bad thing about heated garages is the salt on your car reacts at higher temps. When it is below freezing it doesn't do as much harm.

 

I have a few heater was just to lazy to hook em up. Quicker just to change the oil

I was bout to change oil today but I got lazy and I'm pretty sure I can go another 1000 miles on this oil

I hate road salt. Whatever moron who decided it's necessary in Kansas needs punched in the face.

Fourth water pump on my 05 in about a years time. Enough is enough. Different brand this time. This one went about 9000 miles before the bearings were junk and its rear cover leaked. Different problem every time so its not my truck. Put on new hoses I had kicking around as the old ones were showing their age.

Did one of the hardest things I could........ traded the truck in for a new car. :(

 

Damn that sucks. Didn't you just get your truck back from the collision center like 3 weeks ago?

Drove on some icy roads. Saw an Isuzu Rodeo that ate a guard rail on a bridge.

 

Also, annoyed again at GMs dumb optioning methods.

 

Some may remember my complaints that the only way to get rear seat DVD/Blu ray and screen in the new trucks is with a denali.

 

The 2015 Canyon (probably Denali) trucks will be offering the rear seat entertainment.

 

Really, GM? The mid size, the Top Model full size, but nothing in between?

Yeah man, it was going to get sold even before the wreck but it was/is so bitter sweet; Hell, the wife was in tears when I said it was officially gone. My very first truck I ever bought myself that hauled the family for 4 years. But, when I get back stateside, hopefully that diesel Colorado will be a proven family/tow monster that gets good gas mileage.

What did you end up getting? A neighbor just got a 14 Mazda 6 and I'm wondering if sacrificing 90 HP and TQ of my car is worth the extra 16 MPG. I will at least hold out for the mid cycle update. The diff between the center console tech of the 3 and 6 is so extreme I doubt the 6 will stay with that screen for long, considering its supposed to be the nicer car.

I'm looking at getting an accord here soon unless some one can convince me otherwise

      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

      By jaszr2 · Posted

      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?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      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
