I'll have to try that next time. I've been using Mothers for years now, but I don't particularly care for it all that much. It works, but it takes a lot of polishing to get the wheels clean.

So does the eagle one stuff, I have both and the mothers does great. Get the meguirs buffing cone, attaches to a drill, makes it a lot easier and faster. If you clean your wheels at least weekly with the correct type of wheel cleaner the shine lasts longer and isn't so hard the next go round

Today I did nothing in the shop but answer phone calls. Next few days are very promising both in clusters and FOBs. HVAC haven't been in demand quite yet, maybe I'm asking too much. What do you guys think is a fair price to redo the background bulbs to LED in one of these? Is 40USd (50$ Cdn ) too much? There's $12 USd ( 15$Cdn ) in LEDs. It takes me well into 2 hours to do one unit. As I get used to it it may take less time but for now that's where I'm at.

I have a powerball, but I've never really loved how it works. Maybe the cone works better?

I adjusted the driver torsion arm since my passenger side sat about a half inch higher.

 

I also armor all most (if not all) of my weatherstripping. I will use dielectric sometimes and other times armor all- they seem to work best by taking turns.

 

I wiped down my tailgate (bedside) after cleaning my weedeater on it.

 

I put graphite all over my key and door locks.

 

Checked the oil level (a hair below full).

 

Torqued all of my wheels. I had initially torqued them a year or two ago with a torque wrench, but was low of the called for 150 ft-lbs because of antiseize. But I gave each a good tug and while I had the center caps off I wiped the hubs/wheel bearing area with some grease.

 

Took out my subwoofer and left it out when I was getting the factory jack from behind the passenger seat.

 

Put a few drops of 3-in-1 on the passenger seat rails/rivets/bearings behind the seat.

 

Wiped my clutch pushrod area from when I applied it yesterday as I am try to smooth it out and reduce the noise. Just trying to 'work it in' since there was already plenty on there.

 

Hit my parking brake cables with penetrant on the exterior and lube in the interior.

If that's the price, I'll send you mine

Got freaked out. Wife got home from work. My truck was in the street she calls me over and says your truck is all scratched up. Oh its on. I then look and a spider had made a web that looked like a long scratch on my front fender. Heart returned from my feet and all is good.

We recently bought a travel trailer and have been getting it ready for its maiden voyage. Yesterday I put the camping box in the bed of the truck and cut some chain to length to be able to lock the box in the bed of the truck. Nothing too exciting, but that's it. LOL

What colour would you like lol

I want a cool white. Same for all the other light up pieces in my interior. Weather is too unpredictable right now to rip it out and send it

I can't remember how long it took when I did SG Lou's

 

But not much more than a week before he had it back.

Just write on declaration "Return for warranty repair" and it zips right through. He sent it via USPS and I received it 3 days later, repaired and shipped it out that same morning and he received 4 days later.

Compared fuel economy. Kinda shocked how close they were. Pulling Identical trailers.

I would have figured the LMM would do better not having the shitty DEF, only the DPF.


The 2013 looks like my 2012, only mine is a long bed.

    • 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.      
    • 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?   
    • 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
