Got new brakes on the front of the truck. No more roaring/grinding deceleration. I also got my wife's Jeep all fixed up, new front differential mount...what a pain in rump, new front brakes, and driveline fluids changed. I hope that's all we need for awhile except oil changes of course.

Changed the oil and put in new headlights

Got the 37s home! Really happy with the buy! They are massive! Filled up my whole truck bed!

Can't wait to see this! How long till you have them on?

Within a week! She's going in next Thursday at 8 am for a 6 inch rough country lift! Hopefully that will clear them with some minor trimming, if not my body lift will be going on as well!

Drove by the Allison transmission plant today. They have some new signs

Got almost everything loaded up for the weekend campout with my son and his cub scout pack. Just need to grab my pack and my boy and off to the campground after work today...should be great.

Not much of anything the past few weeks- been on the road pretty much straight out for work. I renewed my registration and got a new plate last week, flew back to NH for a long weekend to burn off some PTO and get to spend some time in a 2015 Silverado rental and then came back, did laundry and was back at the airport 14 hours later to head to Calgary. Got home early Friday morning, slept in, knocked out some paperwork and called it a day. Drove to grab lunch and dinner but that's about it.

Ive been driving the piss out of her and haven't even washed her in maybe a month. Although I did wipe the interior down last week...

Cut some bowties out of my left over vinyl and slapped them on the centers.

Had the truck loaded up with all my hunting crap and managed to get out of work at a good time. Awesome thing is that I still got in 9 hours worth of work

I tried to track down my passenger suicide door "clunk/rattle" it gives when I close it or hit a big bump. Anyone else had this?

 

Also need to look at my under dash rattle (only when cold) and I think I'm finally get some ISS clunk.

    • 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
