Little Pissed off. Just found this on the used tires I just bought

Say no to used tires! And that one in particular looks ancient, thank God you found out that it was bad before you risked your life even more.

Visited the Lingenfelter Collection in Brighton. They had an entire room of F-Bodies and Corvettes and then two more rooms. Incredible place.

Do you know the date? Looks like: (0312). That would be the third week of 2012.

Didn't know you could tell that. Looks like all of em are late 04 to early 05. Never would've guessed they were that old with so much thread and very little dry rot. That one is so dirty because they have been in mud a few times since I got them

Went to my grandparents today. About 100 mile trip I need to change my oil and get a new wheel bearing.

Okay Ryan, finally got the pictures. They stink though, I took these right before sunset, couldn't help but get too many shadows, and I hadn't dressed the tires or trim when I took these. But, good news is I'm going to try and get really good off pavement shots of it soon.

I cleaned off my truck after some sprinkling yesterday, and also wiped down the interior. I'm going to try to keep her cleaner from now on, she really deserves it.

 

Hopefly I'll be doing the front brake pads soon because they have begun to squeal a bit. Ac delcos will be going on to match the impeccable pads in the rear.

Well it wasn't just today but....

Rotated tires

Changed engine oil

Brake fluid flush

Rear brake change, drums & shoes

Replaced front driver side bearing. Can you believe it was a Timken?

Replaced AC belt a couple weeks ago, it was about to snap

Drove around to find a new place to live...and found one.

Now loading up the truck to put some none essentials in storage.

Busy week but worth it. My MPGs seem to be going up so truck must be happier.

Is the interior in the gmt900's that small? Our car seat fit with a lot more room to spare and it seems to have the same dimensions as yours, I'm surprised. It didn't reach that far forward, and both are extended cabs.

The seats appear to be all the way back.

Iv been in over 36 states and the worst drivers I've seen outside OK are Arkansas and New Mexico.

Have you ever driven through Rhode Island ……… “The biggest Little Sh**Hole in the Country” ? These are the biggest bunch of idiots on the planet, they re-define the word A**hole! They think that a turn signal is throwing you the finger…… it is unbelievable how bad people drive in this state. Even the cops will tell you that you take your life into your hands driving into Providence…No licenses, no registrations, no insurance …. they just don’t care about anything and think they can do whatever they want and get away with it. To solidify how corrupt this state is, what does it tell you when the House Speaker, the most powerful Politician in the state is raided by the U.S. Attorney's Office, FBI, IRS and State Police at the State House and his home! Do yourself a favor and avoid Rhode Island if at all possible!

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

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      Gas fill door

      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?
