Ordered her a new wheel bearing.

Rock auto is the best, half the cost of any local parts store for the bearings. I needed mine bad so I ordered through rock auto but also at auto zone and returned the ones I got from rock auto to auto zone lol

Lmao! I could have done that, but Autozone didn't have one in stock. It was about the same price as Rock Auto too. Summit wanted $175 which is crazy! I got an email from RA saying it was shipped already and to expect it tomorrow.

Rock Auto is the bomb!

 

Drove to Casper and back. Didn't do too bad, got 18.8 mpg round trip, and was plowing the wind for most of the way.

 

The 6.2 is a hoot :driving:

 

I get to use it for what I got it for on Thursday...hauling stuff :cool:

 

My driver's seat would shift forward when stopping. Thanks to this site, I fixed that!

 

Unfortunately, found that the chrome part of the front bumper is a little wacky, so I'll need to realign that. Shouldn't be too bad.

Have to wait for camper dealer to open here in Cal.

I can't wait till this afternoon to get out of the most disqusting state nation.

 

Stopped at the first rest area on I 15 W. Vandalism on top of vandalism.

I did you get interrogated at the border checkpoint? I couldn't believe that when I saw it coming through on I-80 in '13. Like we were entering another country. They just made eye contact and waved us through ... but WTF!

You talking about the fruit Nazis? No, and on I 15 the check point is about 100 miles over the border. Was just waved through. Was asked one time why I was in commercial lanes. I have Company name and DOT lettering on side of the truck. Wished I would of said because this lane looks faster.

It isbt boarder patrol. It is Ag department. We need to make sure things coming in are clear of pests that will harm our fruit and veg production

Got a uhaul trailer to help my friend's gf move. Loaded that trailer up, we'll load the truck up early AM when he gets off duty. I also didn't feel like driving 10+ hours to MS with the truck shaking from out of balanced tires, so I got them balanced which means if I'm lucky 2 hours of balanced tires and 18+ with them not. Hopefully I can move later tonight when it cools down and at least clean the windows and headlights off. Think I hurt my back so who knows.

Ahh gotcha - was totally different from the one I saw on I-10, 16 years ago. That one was clearly labeled as an AG checkpoint. This one in I-80 looked just like a toll booth here on the East coast, only 10x bigger. Maybe I missed the sign.

How reasonable is the pay you get doing this?

Alot of factors are involved. Pay by mile. So miles are everything. Company I work for doesn't get the high mile loads it used to. And ery seldom payed miles back.

 

Electronic log books come into play Dec. 2017. I think its gonna be a very dangerous to be on the roadway. It's gonna force Truck drivers to drive tired and recklessly.

I hear most big OTR companies have been using those E-logs for a while now. No way to fudge the numbers on those ...

      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

      By jaszr2 · Posted

      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?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
