Come on man I expect better from you! Don't buy into that BS of guns going off randomly or even easily. I've carried my G32 most days since 2009 without incident. If you don't pull the trigger, it won't fire. End of story.

 

 

And one last thing to Sarah or anyone else really:

 

Don't skimp when it comes to the holster. It makes a huge difference in how easy it is to carry.

 

Never said any of that. It's just that I've grabbed my pistol while getting off the can, accidentally, by the trigger - just grabbed it the same way I always do, except that ONE time my finger found it's way into the trigger guard, and the weight of the pistol (which is alot) was 100% on the trigger. It was in my own bathroom, so it wouldn't have been a big deal - maybe deafened me and put a hole in the wall (and made me extremely angry with myself), but that's about it. I recognized my mistake right away, and haven't come close to doing it since. Just one second of being "too comfortable" is all it takes.

 

 

If that was a Glock, it would've went bang. I pride myself on being safe too - always have. We're only human and mistakes happen. God knows I make more than my fair share of them. Knowing this, I carry a 1911 style.

You would like a springfield XD series. I have two XD guns, and XDM 40 in olive drab green and a xd mod 2 in 45ACP. All the hype was around the new glock 43 how it was the perfect carry gun. Shouldn't have bought into it. I'm not saying it's a bad firearm whatsoever, very well manufactured and the aftermarket is huge with glocks, but I love the back strap safety (like a 1911) and trigger safety of my springfields. I also prefer how easy it is to break them down, my glock you have to pull the slide back a bit and pull down these tabs on each side, makes it very awkward the first few times you do it. Springfields you just lock the slide back, flip up a lever, release slide and pull trigger and it comes off. I will say this glock 43 is very comfortable to conceal carry, even though I'm fat lol

Good info CJ - thanks! I might have to upgrade sometime soon. :)

So my air box lid has a big old dent in it enough so that air intake tube boot leaks... and I have oily mud trails in my intake manifold.... How in the hell that even happens I have no idea...So... I am going to just get a full aftermarket air intake and be done with it. My factory air box on my old 05 fought me forever and dusted my 6 liter multiple times... now this... sigh... lol.

 

I like this truck but it keeps fighting me with ridiculous bullshit... like this. I think I might trade the heap in. .. on the one I wanted in the first place. It's my current trucks twin but in brownstone with cocoa dune... This other truck is still new on the lot a year later... It was hail damaged and the roof is still buggered but it's a brand new 0 mile never dusted and not covered in rock chips 6.2 double cab... I am really tempted.

6.2 trucks always had rear disc and 5.3's had drums from 07 through 13

Denali pickups had rear discs from 07 through 13... as did the 07 to 09 Vortec Max 6 liter trucks... or most of them anyway I should say with those. 2009+ 6.2 1/2 tons all had rear disc as well.

GM is an odd company. Not unlike Harley-Davidson. They love mid-year, and cross-model changes. Can't keep up with all of it.

 

You'd think they'd want to give their techs a break, and just keep things familiar across every model. NOPE! Not in GM-land ... :lol:

Brought it home for a bit again...

The two 5.0's together again lol...

      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
