Today or tomorrow I'll be using it to get my Bird back. Hopefully driving the Bird back.

 

Wednesday will be hauling the Bird back if its not done.

Yea it's still kicking it. Haven't seen it up close. Side step is missing some black paint

Son working his truck today

Finally back from the road trip to California. Another 5k miles on the odometer. My truck is still full of crap to off load once I sign the lease on the new place. Then the fun of emptying out the storage unit...ugh!!!

Also I'm past due for an oil change so I've got to get that done as well.

Got off early and took her fishing. Went to a creek and lake but didn't catch anything. Went to my buddies pond right up the street and caught 3 smallmouth and 3 largemouth. Haven't caught a fish out of that pond in a couple years. Two of the largemouth were nice size. Scratched the paint up running through tall grass. Not too worried about it

Must be some really really tall grass

Failed miserably at changing the passenger side cv axle on my captains 2010 dodge ram. That stubborn thing just would not come off the mid shaft. Even broke a pry bar in half!

It was taller than what's pictured in other parts of the field. I went looking for a mud hole we had but sadly it was all dried up. You can't tell it got scratched anymore cause of how bad the paint already is lol

Moving to my new place. It's off a dirt road and with the rain storm we had last night the truck is filthy again. At one point the truck stopped moving forward but tires were turning so some of my stuff got a little mud covered as well.

That 4th gen dodge setup was just ridiculous. It's a joke changing chevy ones

My truck got washed a cleaned inside today...when it cools off she will get a good coat of wax.

Returned and picked up a few things at the Depot today. Finished the steps up to the slider from the patio. It'll be nice to spend some nice fall evenings outside with the pups.

I changed the brake booster on the 2011 F150 today

    • 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
