Bled the brakes, greased the chassis, and jump started it to get it cranked for the first time in 2 weeks. Got an alignment scheduled Wednesday but I'm scared to drive it. It'll go in a straight line but its WAY out of spec. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

 

hmmm you had to jump start it after it sitting for 2 weeks? I had my truck on stands for 3 months about 2 years ago, throughout the winter, and I replaced my plugs and wires (they were do) when I went to start it up and it fired right on up. Then again, I only had my battery in there for a year before it started sitting

I was stuck behind a straight piped Volvo 240 Estate diesel. Sounded awful

I've still got the sears die hard gold battery I bought in 2007

Left the truck at the airport. Flew to NH and got a brand new Suburban for my rental. It's black and with that 3rd row come Monday I can take my entire department out on our lunch break and play FBI. :lol:

Still working on installing newly geared differentials and new lift kit. Did the tear down yesterday, time to start the rebuild here soon, after I go to the store and have to get a couple washers and nuts that they forgot to add in the hardware bag, wtf...

Picked up a free playhouse/slide/swingset thing off CL fir my 2 year old daughter

maga4ehu.jpg man the truck sounded great pulling that

Took the truck to the field to do a little duck hunting and also snagged a few geese.IMG_20130925_135932_zpsd1fc2fd8.jpg

Still working on this damn lift. Finally got the front done. Just need to get off early tomorrow to install the new rear differential and AAL and maybe blocks depending on how it sets

Passenger side. I keep screwing up so that's why its taken this long

Driver side with tire. Its still stands so it will sit a little lower but hopefully not by too much

Lookin good rdnckhntr and I can sympathize with the jack stand pains. It's how I do all my work too

Just bought 4 Goodyear Eagle GT's and they will be here on wednesday. I ordered them 5 minutes ago. Its nice to have overnight shipping and only pay for standard.

I've never worked on a vehicle lift so I wouldn't know the difference. But I have done so much on these set of stands that km used to it. I've pulled 3 trannies with these. Plus the body lift helps

Today I have drive 200 km and now I am very tired. After a
long time I drive. Thank god my truck is safe and me also. :)

    • 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.  
    • 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?
