I spent the better parts of the last three days installing Katzkin leather. I'm gonna say installing a suspension is easier.

Good to know lol

Honestly given how rocky the K2 rollout was and still is I really hope GM manages this one better.

Merry Christmas to all y'all!!

 

Got a nice Nikon camera for Christmas so when I actually clean my truck up I can take killer pics of it. Already have plenty of pictures of my niece from today!

Right back at ya, brother! :cheers:

 

I got a pile of Ferrero Rocher hazelnut chocolates - these things are friggin AWESOME. Just what I need, lol!

 

Also got an Amazon gift card, some Mechanix gloves, and a throwback Metallica, And Justice For All shirt, almost exactly like the one I had in the day - I wore that thing so much that you could see clear through it by the time I finally retired it. I still have it upstairs somewhere, LOL. :D

Got $200 in cash for Christmas. Think I'm going to head to the salvage yard this week to see if I can't find a few interior piece for the truck.

Buddy and I drove up to our other friend's place and pulled the running boards off his brand new Forerunner. That thing is pretty dang nice, took us longer to set up in the dark than it did to actually pull the boards off. Then we spent time admiring the under side how all the seams are sealed and things are painted. Nice interior too. Stupid push button start though, took me a minute to figure out how to get that thing started. Always fun "stealing" someone's car when they're at work. Would have been an easier job in the garage vs a vacant parking lot but he still hasn't figured out how to get the keypad for his garage door to work and he keeps the garage door opener in his patrol car. The way the rear seats fold down on it is pretty neat, those running boards fit nicely back there. There's even a compartment for the jack and a sliding thingie in the rear. Too bad it's tiny, doesn't have a v8, and won't tow what I need it to tow. I might have put it in the list of possible future vehicles.

 

Tomorrow we're going to put the tarp on the boat, go to a bait shop, and then walmart for a couple of those foot long fishing poles. Then fishing!

I got a cordless impact and a dewalt 8v thing

Slept in, gave thanks that I don't do the Christmas crap anymore, and got me a few Tacos at Del Taco and laughed at all the people driving thru the parking lots of closed stores and everyone packed into the open Walgreens and Coffee joints. Cabin fever is a real thing.

lol my buddy and I went to Del Taco tonight too! Only thing that sucked was the lobby was closed so I was forced to use the drive thru. Also I think only 2 people were working so the wait was quite a bit. Even if I did have a sardine can I'd still hate going through a drive thru, I just don't like being boxed in like that. 98% of the time I get off my fat butt and walk into the lobby.

What kind of cordless impact? That was my best investment of 2016 honestly

I went to a car wash to blow mud out of my mom's wheels... this guy in the bay is going hard on a black 2017 Powerstroke with the brush. :ughdance: Almost feel sorry for it!

Lmao! Always trying to sell me stuff.

No. Those were my Christmas gifts. I'm keeping those

    • 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?   
    • 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
