Your probably right, but they didn't teach cell phone recording in first responder or firefighter classes. Lol

Took the family out to eat tonight and a guy went down outside. Rolled him over to find no pulse. Started cpr and by the time they loaded him in the ambulance he was starting to talk. Best feeling ever!

I didn't use the breaks I was angry as all hell and stomped on it im surprised it did that to be honest

 

Hit dunes with a friend today 76 ford with a 12v cummins very clean setup we were on test hill in this pic

Didn't know Cummins was making 12 volt motors? I thought Power Wheels was the only one? Learn something new every day.

 

Sorry, couldn't resist.

 

Spent a lot of time at the dunes back in the 70's. Back when that '76 was a new one!

 

Seen any new 14's out there putting around? Not sure if my factory tires would even get me on the dunes?

Yea there's a few 14s that been out there and yea factory tires will do fine out there less aggressive tread the better

Not so worried about the tread, more about if I could let enough air out for a good footprint? These new tires are a lot different construction than the tires were 35+ years ago.

 

We could go down to 8 psi, not sure about these new tires? I have 265 65 18's, so they should do better than the 20's and 22's?

 

Just been out if the loop for too long, but I have an old Silver Lake flag out in the barn. LOL

I changed the brake light switch in the 2011 F150 and had to get the boat running again. Going to have to do heavy transom repair.

Thanks for the info. Back in the day, it was mostly 15" rims. Some 16" and 16.5".

Got off early and took her fishing. Went to a creek and lake but didn't catch anything. Went to my buddies pond right up the street and caught 3 smallmouth and 3 largemouth. Haven't caught a fish out of that pond in a couple years. Two of the largemouth were nice size. Scratched the paint up running through tall grass. Not too worried about 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

      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
