Got my dash all cleaned up underneath where the cover goes, and I got the light sensor back into where it's supposed to be. She's all back together now.

Just spent 9 hours in a voucher line for bad vouchers because it's a screwed up system.. alot of unhappy people. ..

 

On the bright side I have the most well behaved dog ever.

9 hours? You're insane. :lol: No way I'd want to be on the dunes with so many people.

I love the busy holiday weekends there, saves me from breaking my junk, I can sit at the bottom of test and watch amateurs break their junk. If I don't get bored I don't abuse my stuff

The radio still works, cb, power windows (kinda slow), power locks dont work (might just need some adjusting). Overall im pretty dam excited. Gonna try an fire her up Sunday> Keep your fingers crossed.

I would like one on my pickup. Dust and rocks build up on the plate the way it is from the factory.

 

Good luck Grape!

Yeah it definitely made the truck actually look like it had more ground clearance plus you don't have the threads sticking out. I ordered them too long even though I measured so I gotta trim em down

Do you have a link? Would definitely be worth it, on my 1990 the bolts were rusted almost through where mud had gathered on top of the plate.

Ugh, my car need a claying. They are installing a new roof at work, have had fiberglass getting on it for weeks. Paint feels like 2000 grit.

Have an hour of absolute free time tomorrow, before I am seeing the new Xmen. Was thinking about running by the GMC dealer, wanted to look at the new Denali truck and SUVs. Well, the only Denalis they have are leftover 800 SUVs. In fact they don't think they have ANYTHING with the new 6.2 on their lot.

 

Also, its interesting the new 6.2 isn't flex fuel.

So im officially DONE taking this truck up. It clearly wants to be a pavement princess so that's what it gets to be. And I wasn't even being dumb this time just casually driving and my brand new moog ball joint snapped in half. This whole weekend has been a mess so far.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

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

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
