I take it that it didnt rupture yet then? Mine ruptured and it was a long and horrible 5 days in the hospital

Nope. Caught it early. Got lucky. Checked in about 2 pm. Surgery at 6:30 last night and discharged at 10 am. Now i just have to sit around and do nothin for like a week..... thats gonna suck!

Yea, mine ruptured while I was on the table. i went in at 1 pm after 2 days of pain, surgery at 9 pm, woke up at 12 am with a tube in my waistline to drain. I had that thing for a week. the good thing was I was drugged up enough that I didnt second guess myself about ordering 2 Corsa Sport systems

Well, I got it in today. Then realized a couple things were missing. Yes the bellhousing but that's how they ship it so they can ship UPS ground. But I didn't realize until after I got it that the 4x4 tails haft coupler is not there, which I can take off my old tranny. But then something important came to mind. MY TORQUE CONVERTER AINT IN THE BOX!!! Called performabuilt and he told me they are shipped from a company in FL. Dammit. Now I can't put it in until at least Monday. Guess I'll do all the prep work this weekend then

Washed and buffed it today my liquid wax turned to water so there's a full 30$ bottle of wax wasted. I forgot to clay bar it. And that stupid polisher I bought is a piece of sh!t. I'm not happy... gonna finish the little details tomorrow.

Shake it for a while. And store it indoors from now on. What kind of polisher?

Haven't driven mine since Sunday.

 

Boohoo... been month and a half for me lol

Shook the hell out of it no good..

 

And this one. The stupid disk won't come off and I bent the wrench all to hell trying to get it off... what a poor design I have no tools narrow enough to take the stupid thing off.

    • 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
