Not really anymore. We had an awesome place in Ramey, it was an old strip mine, but they recently closed it down. Sucks because it was awesome.

Looks like the filter for the 6.6 with a giant rubber reducer.

Looks like it was time to change it

Round? The stock filter in my 6.6L is sorta squarish.. kinda. Maybe.

For the longest time the 6.6 duramax had a round filter. Changed to rectangular in 2011 model.

In the waiting period for my new license plate

Today I drove my truck to work, which just does not happen that often (driving it, not going to work).

 

Washed it.

 

Renamed it to "Christine." It was the "Road Bullet" for years, but since it no longer tows heavy and is lifted, the name just does not work. Christine came to me when I walked behind it today to find that once again, the left license plate light assembly was hanging from the bumper. I have replaced it, verified the bumper is not worn, etc., but yet it still drops out every now and again while just sitting in the driveway. So, now Christine can do "whatever" while parked, and I will just accept it.

 

I also wiped the front lower bumper down with Wipe New Trim Restorer. I did the other plastic on the exterior a few weeks ago and it is still looking awesome, so I decided to take a few minutes and do the front bumper. The bumper was not faded like the mirrors and rear step were (sits in the sun all day), but it did have some white spots from waxing. Now she looks good again.

Filled up with some more 91 and checked the tire pressure for the first time since they were mounted in July. They were a bit low but I aired up to 39 up front and the usual 38 in the rear.

 

The oil is now at 3,xxx miles but I will be changing it soon for piece of mind, it has been in there since March. I just bought another 6 quarts of gtx magnatec and an ac delco filter for whenever I have time for it.

About to hit the road for PA. Can't carry my handgun because I have to go through MD, and they don't honor any other states permits. Such BS

Did you get your new wheels on?

      Gas fill door

      By newdude · Posted

      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.

      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

      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.

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

      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?
