Alright so anywhere between an inch and two inches then. They are lift springs so it could vary. As long as it helps out with wheel hop and axle wrap so I can do burnouts I'm fine lol

Wife drove it to her work(battery died in corolla, it lasted 6 years and 3 months!)she has been sacred of driving it there because of the tight entrances, exits, and spaces in the parking garage. Hope this goes well

Mine are designed to fit on block but you could prob do it right in axle since 2wd trucks don't have blocks usually

Replaced both diff fluids and drained trans fluid. Was gonna drop the pan but I couldn't get to two bolts on the pan and it was getting dark. If i had another vehicle I would have left it but I dont. Damn Y pipe is in the way, was gonna do filter as well

 

Rear diff

Those springs will fit on the stock block? I like to see real lifts on trucks.....not the stupid 14" blocks with stock leaf springs. Glad to see you are doing the proper lift!

On post 7278, is that metal clumped on the rear diff? If so, is that normal or the sign of something bad? In my eyes, I would be in a panic right now! Same thing with the trans plug....

It's just regular metal shavings. I got rear diff rebuilt a year ago and haven't checked the magnet since install (other than 500 mile drain and refill for both front and rear diffs). The trans plug I haven't pulled since install back in April. I was suppose to drain and refill at 2k miles after install, but it's been about 12k. It's just break in shavings, normal for new gears and such. Now if you start to see larger chunks (this stuff is like anti seize texture) then you should worry but as of right now it's fine

Best $1 mod I've ever done. Installed my diode fondupot gave me so I'd keep my fogs on with the highs

I finished restoring the triton last week too

Drove her to through the car wash at Costco and came out with a service engine soon light... FML. I think it must have been the insanely high pressure water from all angles that caused it by getting something wet? The other place I usually go to has never caused anything like this, and it was already closed tonight. Although I just checked the engine bay and undercarriage and nothing is even remotely wet.

 

And I hit 225,000 miles tonight. Its upsetting that the sell had to ruin the night!

Love that boat. Now you said your where restoreing it? It dosen't look old enough to need that.

New carpet, re upholstered the seats, new control, trolling motor, power poles, battery's, wet sanded the burned top cap and buffed and polished. The boat is an 05 and has been sitting outside for the last 3 years.. I still need to find a new trailer because he put it in saltwater a few times.. Edited by 20Bowtie14

Sooo I took out the air filter and there's a little bit of water at the bottom of the intake. The MAF must have gotten wet as the water went through the filter.

 

The engine never hiccupped or anything afterwards so hopefully once everything dries out the sel will go away. :fingerscrossed:

 

I also ended up cleaning the carpets and seats with a fabric cleaner and a brush because I had some ugly stains from spills. Overall I'm pleased for such a quick job but I do plan on getting the interior professionally cleaned sometime in the winter.

 

I also detailed the exterior plastics and sprayed on some wheel protectant to keep dust and stuff off.

Got new wiper blades for both the truck and the wife's Jeep. She had a coupon so I got all 4 for only $14. I actually saved over $20....sweet. So tomorrow I will be cleaning the windshield and putting the new blades on. It's been about 5 years for mine, I think 4 for hers. I really like the longevity of the rain X blades.

My sel light went away today while I drove to lunch! I'm knocking on wood that my dash continues to stay clear for years to come.

Working on rewiring the trailer plug on a work van as well as new tail lights on the trailer. Fun fun fun... not going so well either lol

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

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

      Gas fill door

      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.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      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.

      Active Grille Delete

      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?
