I know the feeling. That's why I frequently back into parking spots haha.

I always back in, it just makes more sense

 

 

 

So is she from the school for the blind that she couldn't see a big white truck. Lol. Hopefully she hot at least.

She had her music blaring i think haha or was focused on something else... Ehhh she's ok ha already already had a "close encounter" with her haha

I wasn't being loud I just took off from an intersection calmly and aboit to turn into work and he came out of nowhere.. I hate the cops around here they are so cocky and pull everyone over for piddly things

I would be screwed there then

Time for another encounter

ones enough lol especially after you'd know what happened haha

Anyone have shock extensions on a 99-06 1500 4wd? My new shocks are not long enough and want to keep them just can't find shock extensions

Ready lift does. There leveling kit comes with shock extenders. There sending me a new one, i sheared the metal in half lol, not really sure how that happened

I have a set on mine. It came with the leveling kit. I got it from Fat Bob's Garage. Not sure if they still sell just the extensions like they did. Haven't been on the site in a while.

 

 

It would seem that Fat Bob's does still have them...

Correction, I found them

Alright cool. I'm going to pull one of my front shocks hopefully today and get some measurements between the two and see how tall of a bracket I need cause I may need to fab them up, not sure if 2 inch extension is enough. I'll have my buddy do it cause he works at a metal fabrication shop and could have it done and welded in like 20 min.

Well turns out my new shocks are about an inch short mount point to mount point. I also plan on cranking down an inch so that would make it equal plus get a two inch shock extension so I have more travel. I think that's why my ride was so bad cause my current shocks were basically maxed out so didn't have any down travel

Did a little face lift to my buddies truck, Turned out good. Also while we were under there I noticed the CV axle boots were shot, so we threw in a couple new CV axels while we were at it. Also sold my Z71 wheels and tires last night.2014050695072026_zpsind292st.jpg

Assuming rear main oil seal. Replaced oil pan gasket when I put motor in

Saw this and felt my wallet get smaller

Saw that and basically just gave up walked inside grabbed a beer and posted this. Done with this damn thing. Time for a new truck. Looking as I speak...

    • 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
