Taking truck and trailer in for inspection as well as dump some oil. The bucket decides to slide forward and tip half of the oil out in the bed of my truck. FML!!!

A former coworker had that happen INSIDE the cab! He ended up cutting out the back half of the carpet since it went down past the carpet and was impossible to clean otherwise.

I had people staring at me at the gas station cause the oil was rolling out of the bed onto the ground lol

Would like to drive off a cliff and get away from this ridiculousness ha

Any tips on getting the slippery feeling out of the plastic from the oil? I tried purple power and it didn't work. Power washer is my next step. Anything else?

Put some oil dry or kitty litter on it and kinda grind it in with something, I would let it sit on there overnight if you can and then purple power the crap out of it the next day.

Any kind of degreaser simple green works great for cleaning my engines

The seats appear to be all the way back.

 

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.

Chris is right the seats are all the way back, I'm 6'2 and the wife is almost 6', she also likes her seat pretty reclined so that why the seat seems to sit so far forward,

I was also thinking dawn dish soap, cause they use it to get oil out of the birds feathers from oil spills!! Lol. I hadn't thought of simple green I'll do that at work cause we keep gallons of it. Thanks yall!

Just noticed a deep growling noise from what seems like the rear end. Sounds like a bearing going bad. Weird cause I just rebuilt that damn thing 6 months ago. Have to jack it up when the rain clears and see where it's coming from. Only happens while accelerating and really hard to pin point cause it happens around 55+ while accelerating and I drive mostly backroads. Goes away while coasting though, maybe just gear noise?

I'm gonna jack it up hopefully this weekend and still check it. Gotta adjust e brake, check my pads and rotors (get a studder like feeling when I'm coming to a stop) and hopefully I'll have my new front shocks by then

Bud... you've brought a whole new definition to "money pit" with everything you've had to do lately :lol:

Maybe I should just pay a shop to do everything. Every time I touch it it breaks lol wait! I'm fixing their mistakes that's right

    • 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.  
    • 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?
