While thankfully Jersey is small enough that you can blast through it on the turnpike on one tank of gas, though I can't say I'd have much reason to go anywhere near Jersey for non-business trips. Same goes for Oregon. I'd like to take a cross country trip some day but will not visit any states that don't honor my CPL.

 

So avoid the whole west coast, and NY and NJ

 

 

My permit is good in Washington. But I'd pass on Oregon and California. No need to take any special trip to the northeast, I spent the first 27 years of my life there and seen most everything worth seeing for the time being. Mainly I want to see the southwest and the Rocky Mountain region as I haven't spent much time in those places.

Had an awesome Father's Day. My daughter helped me clean up the truck for a Fathers Day car show, won a couple of raffles, won the $225.00 50/50 drawing and won the truck class at the show. Ate a big 'ol steak after the show, compliments of the 50/50, and then topped it all off with my daughter singing and playing the guitar with a song she wrote for me for Father's Day. :thumbs:

Colormatched flares, handles and mirrors, complete debadge, dump exhaust. I'll give you a pass on new wheels. :jester:

She off roads her truck too much to bother painting the flares

N.J only has Full Service. Its actually against the law here to pump your own Gas.

 

Must be hard living around so many stupid people

That's like saying you shouldn't bother painting a truck that offroads.

I take it on trails and dunes occasionally that's what a trucks for

Not to burst your bubble but I am positive the truck was originally used/designed for towing. All the other stuff people use it for popularized it to what some like to do today I.e. offroading.

Well yea but I'm talking as far as for me that's what it's for, if I wanted to tow I'd get a diesel

Hold on a second. This was designed for towing?

I'm not positive, but I'm going to say that it was originally designed for hauling. Like Sarah probably does up the side of a dune. Mine hauls, even though the bed is usually empty...

      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?
