Ryan, do you really need the giant toolbox? If not, you could probably fit the stuff you had hanging out back on the hitch safely in the bed.

Yeah a toolbox would look big in a short bed.

 

Had a buddy come up from California, and he had never been to Wyoming, so I showed him around. Ol' Clyde did fantastic, getting 21 mpg over ~600 miles, with idling, city driving, highway driving, and interstate driving. I'd say the AFM and the ethanol free premium are a dynamite combo.

 

Did some wandering the past week beforehand. I really like the scenery around here.

Does low profile mean that its shallow?

It doesn't protrude from the cap rails much, like mine isn't a low profile, Ryan's is. His doesn't have a tall upper portion like mine. Here's mine for comparison:

See how tall the upper portion is above the rails compared to Ryan's?

I almost ran the Range Rover into the gate. My score with that thing is 1 hit and 1 close call

Eh. Unless you're in the Jackson or Star Valley area.. you can't get out of boring ol Wyoming fast enough. It's like driving thru Kansas... At least Kansas is greener though.

Sunday/Monday installed some LED bars/pods. Lights up real nice when I put it in reverse now.

Today

Dropped it off at the dealer since the fuel filter ran dry again. Maybe they'll figure it out this time.

At least this time they gave me something that slightly resembles a truck. Be nice if they'd give you something even close to comparable to what you're getting fixed. The Beast weighs more than this tiny thing's gvwr lol. Still better than that Encore they gave me last month. Interesting how even though this has a v6 the estimated miles for the tank arevabout half of what mine shows with a full tank. I'll have to check and see what it shows after I've driven it for a while. Probably doesn't have enough drive time on it to be anywhere near accurate.

It's a loaner, probably treated like a rental. It might have a "stroke" if you drive it normal.

Loaner yes, but I'm assuming I'm the first real driver since it had 7 miles and 1.1 engine hours. I did figure out it has an auto lock/unlock tailgate. I don't do vehicle break in periods so... Yeah :-D. Won't be stupid with it but I'm not going to baby it, I don't baby mine sure as hell not going to baby this.

LOL that's a new one, never heard Wyoming compared to Kansas

      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.

      By jake111 · Posted

      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
