Gazed at its sexines and an old woman got pissed today with me at work

She randomly says this to me as it's warming up in the parking lot after work.

 

Old lady- why do you need such a big loud bright truck it's so pointless for a girl.

 

Me- why are you such a nosy annoying b!ch?

 

I then hopped up in my big bright loud annoying pickup and took off... can't wait to hear about it tomorrow.

I mean, technically, no one NEEDS a lifted truck, but they sure get you looks lol

 

Sent while drinkin' a cold one...

You save $30 cause it takes longer, at least that's what it sounds like. Hopefully they are trained to do the job properly, and pray it wont leak after their done lol

They are very reputable, and locally owned. They fixed a chip and crack on it a few years ago.

 

Edit: read my next post.

Robinson Glass, broken arrow.

 

Guess what? Yesterday I make an appointment, they said they have the full day open, it will take 3 hours.

 

Drop it off at 10 am......no ready call from them.

 

Call at 1:30 PM, its not ready. Why?

 

They didn't get the glass in. It'll be ready at 4pm.

 

Okay. I can underatand half of that. Stuff happens, my job relies on timely deliveries, we do not always get stuff in time.

 

But they never called me. A windshield replacement IS NOT AN ALL DAY JOB, and I was given a completion time. We woke up the twins early from their nap to get the car at a specific time.

 

They did admit they should have called

I had to hang up when they were trying to explain(by far the nicest thing I could do at that moment).

Time to scrap it ryan lol

I know right? Wife doesn't agree grrrr

 

Need some cooled seats for summer haha

If you get rid of it you'll regret it.

 

Maybe

 

I don't miss my old 2000

Bought a new radar detector for wife's car. Hers is a 10 year old Cobra. Bought her the cobra spx 5300. I have a 9370 that was a gift and it works very well for me. Know several other with cobras and they have saved us many times even though they aren't the best.

 

Car and driver used the new 5300 as a baseline against the newest escort and valentine v1.

 

Their result were the $550 dollar ones were way better than the $100 Cobra....but if you actually read the results....

 

Basically, the cobra maxed out range at 4000 feet. The escort and valentine could go 6500 feet or further. The cobra had more false alarms.

 

My thoughts:

Wait, so I still have 4000 feet of warnings for $450 less?

Haven't run a radar detector since I was 19. Don't need it when you can spot where they hide and talk smooth when you can't. :lol: One ticket in my entire life.

    • 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
