If I do that too much, I'll go through a quart in 300 miles.

 

Your truck sounds alot like mine though. I've got a Corsa system on it.

The CanAm I rode was so smooth and handled so well, it didn't even feel like I was going fast. Until I looked down and saw 65.

They sound like they're worth the money then. I know they look like a nice machine.

Yeah it handles quite well for its size, only time I go that fast is on the street every once in a while. It's nice having the mid range power though on the trails

Since the family was out of town last night I took some time to finally getting the piston/crankshaft pulled and cleaned up so I can get it mounted for my retirement plaque. The engine was a wreck so it only seemed fitting to pull the remaining good parts to be repurposed.

No I bought a mini bike a few weeks ago that the engine was toast. So I pulled it out of the bike, but it was so screwed up that I couldn't even disassemble it without the use of my handy 5 lb mini sledge.

91 octane is at $2.09 in this part of town (costco) but in Tempe it was at $2.5x! I just filled up before the price goes up more.

 

In the upcoming month or so I am expecting to buy new tires, and something that I'm not looking forward to at all is the rebuild of the driver's side door hinges to get rid of the sagging. Ive been putting that off for far too long.

Bought 44 gallons @ 1.99 for diesel yesterday in IN. So far today 73 gallons @ 1.79 in Fargo ND.

I found it... Bought my new home today. The garage is a little smaller then I was looking for, but the price and property was hard to pass up. Plenty of room to expand the garage...

 

It is an oversized 1.5 car garage and plenty big enough for the Coronet...

SWEET! Congrats! :cheers:

 

When I came to look at this place, the first thing I saw as I came down the street was the gigantic barn & next to the house, and a huge yard with fruit trees and everything. I turned right around and flew to a payphone to call the wife and tell her, "Tell the realtor WE WANT THIS ONE!" I didn't even care if the house was gutted, lol. Wife asked how the house looked ... I told her, "I have no idea." :D

Got the mower back from a buddy from work and promptly put it to use to cut the grass this afternoon. Unreal cutting the grass this early in the midwest.

      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?
