Went last night and met up with a guy halfway between Minot ND and Bismarck ND to buy a set of factory 20s. Great shape and I got a great deal I think. They only have 8k miles and I picked them up for $850. Then I took the truck and wheels in this am to get the wheel balanced on the inside and had them put on. Man oh man it really changes the look and I feel it improve my ride quality. 20140423_122105_zpsopyyqlah.jpg

looks good. Rant incoming:

Bismark has some of the worst designed shopping/parking areas I have ever seen. I was in two different ones when I was there and both stretched for blocks but only had entrances or exits at the bookend intersections. You literaly had to drive through blocks of parking lot to leave or get to a resturant, while being a on the other side of a 4 inch curb from the main road the entire time. I guess many people there do badly with turning into traffic?

Yes the parking down there is the worst. And I'm telling you I don't think any North Dakota people can drive normal. No offense to any of you out there.

He lives in OK, he's used to it. I can say many people in Tulsa and OKC are some of the least attentive drivers, driving some of the biggest heaps on the road.

Got rid of the exhaust rattle today, tomorrow and Friday plan on pulling the AAL and decrank my tbars. Also me and my buddy built a little something for the race on saturday for tailgating. I'll take a pic of it tom.

Does this mean 37s are out now?

not necessarily. I'm not losing but an inch or so. Won't look too much different but let's hope it will ride a lot nicer

I've thought about putting my stock block back in and cranking down to but I like the way it sits to much. I'd prefer it to have to lean if I changed anything

Iv been in over 36 states and the worst drivers I've seen outside OK are Arkansas and New Mexico.

I'll vouch for arkansas having bad drivers

    • 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?
