Changed the oil yesterday and today was family time so we went to church, lunch, shopping, a movie and finally some ice cream. Of course we took the truck for everything.

Truck hasn't left the garage since Friday evening after work

 

Went to a wedding sat night, drove in style :)

Yesterday got the wheels back on my buick cleaned it up and put it out front for sale was gonna wash the truck but ended up going out to some mma fights with a friend, today helped my brother with his new truck and loaded up his old one on my friends trailer and sent it off to get the motor pulled. And played in my truck.

When and saw my baby all apart at the body shop:( They are going to put on the roof panel to many dents to get out but they have got all the parts in, big hold up will be paint. :jester:

I drove my truck home, opened the garage, then started a complete tear-down/resto on my dirt bike.......... inspected the truck too lol

Picked up 8 ft of 1.25 square tube to make a cb antenna mount

Drove my truck to my favorite auto parts store today to order the Corsa cat back for it....should be here tomorrow...................is it tomorrow yet?, lol

 

 

 

I'm going to try and take the old exhaust off in one piece, a member on here said it can be done so we shall try.

What store?

 

Tomorrow and Thursday I get to go downtown to a training/team building event for work and valet park my truck. This should be interesting :( Since it is a pretty nice hotel I figure they will have decent people working there.

 

I got my CAI for the camaro today. WOOHOO!

got my tail pipe welded back in place all level again, then went and checked out my buddys s10

Drove back from Urbana, IL where I've been since Monday. Almost driven 20,000 miles since March.

CarQuest.

 

Got it installed tonight. It went good except for the flange bolts snapped with not even 30 ft-lbs of torque :( so I had to drill them out...ugh. I got the touring system, single exit. It's a little deeper sounding than stock at idle but a lot more robust when you get into the gas, just what I wanted.

    • 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?
