Hopefully you did it reverse (seal then wax)

Technically both are sealant. Ultimate wax and paint protect. Ultimate wax to make the shine, paint protect to lock it up. Shown amazing durability on the mazda since I bought it, in that order. Beads as well as two months ago, and she cant stop driving it every chance she gets. Edited by SnakeEyes

Not sure on those products but a sealant lasts longer and a wax is used to top as a sacrificial barrier

Did your company pay you far hauling it? If not, hopefully you didn't drive too far.

No, military paid for the lumber. I hauled it...needed an excuse to haul something in the truck anyway so no big deal. May be working with my landlord to help build a porch for another of his properties, still won't get paid...except in beer which is good enough for me.

Well, I'll hire you then when it comes to repairs on my truck. I'm thinking a transfer case before winter... Also, my A/C recently quit working although I just replaced everything.....might just be low on freon. What beer do you drink, I'll make sure it's frosty cold upon your arrival!

199k miles .... and not very many more I'd imagine ...

240 watts ... holy crapper that thing must blaze like the sun! I'd get thrown in jail running that in MA, lol.

Typical 15 year old domestic vehicle in New England, I hate to say. :nonod:

Yeah, this one isn't mine. A guy from town brought it up with a blown rear brake line.

 

I found the crossmember hanging there with the shock attached while zip-tying the line to it, and then seeing the whole thing move. The spare tire is ready to fall down, and the one just behind the transmission is totally gone! My hack weld job was the best I could do just to keep it from slamming the bed over every bump ... of which there are MANY up here ...

 

He only drives it around town. Guy doesn't have a lot of cash, & just beat a rough bout of stage-4 cancer, so I'm just trying to help him out. This state costs so much to live in, this is what a lot of people are forced to drive up here, sadly. Well, at least the hard-working ones that refuse state help, anyway.

 

 

 

This is the fun I had trying to loosen the bleeder on the rear caliper. Had to remove it and weld a bolt to it to get it out of there. Totally rounded off & seized to boot. :nonod:

2ca47f2fa76fd40dc0f3fea3cb607340.jpg I reposted my truck for sale AGAIN almost/don't want to sell it now with the dual exhaust and cold air intake but I made up my mind on that its going is $26 000 Canadian to much the truck black books for $28 000 and I got lots of $ in aftermarket toys on it.

    • 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?
