Nah the group trip was this weekend and work is too busy to take time off.

 

Besides, Jeeps don't get stuck. :lol:

We've proven that statement to be VERY wrong lol

There was talk about it at the end of July however I am now coaching basketball so it might not happen. Our big event this year is Camarofest in Kentucky at Beechbend Raceway

Detailed it and threw it on CL, along with the Rolla. Waxing the 6 today to do the same. Couldn't decide which to sell so I put them all up, lol.

 

And of course we then drive to eat and it rains.

 

But man, I don't know about letting the 6 and Tahoe go. Tahoe, even is loaded to the point of being a very capable and comfortable vehicle. And with the Mods its just how I like it.

 

And the 6 is a rocket, love that duratec 3.7. finally got its avg back to 24 MPG.

 

Have a college kid liking the Gorilla, but he wants price before he drives an hour and a half to see it.

 

Should I play that game? Its a one owner, 7 years old with 75k miles and has had EVERY FLUID flushed TWICE, except coolant which was near perfect at 40k so I held off(Toyota has great coolant).

My truck is in the body shop as of this morning. Passenger side from the door back is getting redone for the THIRD time since I've owned it. Got sideswiped by some jackass that took it personally that I needed to pass him. He pretty much did it on purpose. Fine with me. Insurance found him at fault 100%. Guy is 67 too - you'd think he'd have grown up by now? WTF ...

 

So out of this, in addition to the paint/body work, I'll have a new passenger side mirror, and brandy spankin' new Westin wheel-to-wheel steprails. :cool: The ones I had on there were starting to get pretty dull, and the mounting hardware pretty rusty. They were a different style too. 5" round - seems Westin no longer makes a wheel-to-wheel rail that's round. I was a little disappointed, but the oval-ish ones are growing on me. No choice now - they're going on whether I like them or not, lol.

 

 

Oh, forgot to detail the first 2 times .... first time was by the lot tech at my dealership when it was in for it's 3rd or 4th warranty brake job, due to pulsation (that continues to this day ...). Second time was my own damn fault - cranked a tiny sapling in my yard at less than walking speed. Was backing into a spot on a hill in my yard while negotiating the front end around my dad's extended cab, long bed D-max & trailer. Was concentrating on not hitting dad's stuff ... and that object in the mirror really was closer than it appeared. :sick: Thing spent an hour on the frame machine to get the box straightened out again. Talk about a tin can ... :fume:

Those are purdy! Love ceramic coating - it's the only thing that still looks good on headers after several northeastern winters. Well worth the extra dough.

      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

      By newdude · Posted

      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?
