What I did do was drive my truck for two rainy days on my muddy, sandy, dirty, sloppy road. What I need to do now is spend a freakin week trying to get all that crap washed off the underside of the truck & wife's Jeep. Then MAYBE I'll be able to find the bottom of our engines to get the oil changes done too. Need to find a car wash that'll blast the under carriage.

The touch-free ones are anyway. Hit one today to get 5k miles of road crap and giant FL bugs off the front. Can see the film a mile away, but it looks 10x better than it did. My black truck looked flat gray.

 

Had to go pick up a dead E-350, so no time to bust out the buckets and hose. Seems I haven't had time for those things in over a year now ... :happysad:

The pressure washer is unavailable right this moment. There is a car wash on base where I'll just have to pay a bit to get wet & dirty. Well worth it to shed a few pounds off the vehicles.

The fog relay must not be getting juice, or, might not be supplying juice to the fogs.

 

85 & 86 need power to flow through, to create a magnetic field that connects 87 & 30 together. If you were to manually touch 87 to 30, the fogs should come on.

He has it marked in the pic I might have the fuse in backwards for fogs but fogs still work normal just not on the hi setting

Tinted the front windows to match the rear of my 16 Sierra All Terrain

Does it shake or vibrate? Lol

85 (power) & 86 (ground) need power from the high beams in order to trip the relay, and turn the fogs on. Easiest way would be to get power from the High beams (only when on, so 87 or 30 depending on how it's wired) onto 85 of the fog relay, then make sure 86 has a good ground (or vice versa - you'd have to test them - my memory is foggy).

Ryan, you just keep that white crap up there!!! We could always build a fence to make sure it don't come down south!! :jester:

Or east!

 

I hate snow. Every storm takes a year off the truck's life. Road salt central over here ... :nonod:

      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?
