Haha it'd have to be a great deal since I just dropped a couple hundred on some cold steel knives. The poor truck hasn't had more than an oil change and lights in months

Had to line tow a friends car to a shop down the road. His car died on his way home from work. Also pulled around a trailer to move some gear for a Halloween/Trick or Treat event tonight. Also finally got all the rest of my camping gear off loaded so my truck is "cleaned out" again...for now. Dropped off a load of cardboard for recycling. Tonight is trash removal. Last night got gas (e85) $2.49/gallon...SWEET!

Got regular 87 just now for 2.55

Yeah its probably cause you're sitting at +28 mm offset lol looks good buddy!

Lookin good buddy!!! No problems rubbing in the wheel well with so much positive offset?

I regular (87) still going for $2.67 here so not quite as good as your area.

That's weird cause northern VA is usually one of the most expensive places (other than cities)

Naw ! can make full lock turns with no trouble or rubbing at all. Only rubs when going down a hill then coming back up again real quick. But even then its minimal. It really surprised me how little it has rubbed.

Cleaned engine bay while passing out candy (not busy with the rain sleet snow)

Had to replace the rear pads on my truck 2 nights ago. I put new pads and rotors just about a year ago and the rear pads were shot. The inside pads were almost to the metal backing. Also. the bearing in my alternator is seizing up, so I will be replacing it Saturday.

I topped off coolant, changed wipers, loaded tool box, and checked other fluids. Preparing to drive to Vegas on Monday morning

Buying new lift springs next week :) bds 5.5" with my stock 2" blocks getting those wopped out springs otta there and them oversized blocks

Posted

Hope that works out well. I hate seeing these bigger lifts that do the rear with blocks. It's a recipe for axle hop.

It killed my stock springs they sound and look horrible. These should bring it up a tad if not high enough I'll get a 3/4" block

    • Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?  
    • 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?
