You got that right! Only thing more expensive than this is an aviation hobby.

Guns top my truck right now. Between ammo, the firearm itself, upgrades, accessories, etc it can get pretty pricey

Oh yeah forgot about that! Firearms are WAY up there!

 

I've got too many expensive tastes ... :lol:

I could make a full time job and a half out of my hobbies.

Today I put my summer rims and tires on, installed the Swing Box (tool box) and put on my replacement header on the driver side from ARH. Oh and of course I washed it.

810880 - oil changed, greased, FASS filters changed, factory fuel filter changed. Mess grill placed back on front. R500 265/70/17s placed on truck. Gauged 6/32nds front, 7/32nds rear.

 

The Michelin's taken off gauged, 9/32nds front, 7/32nds rear.

 

Changed fuel gauge on top of RDS tank

And for giggles added angle aluminum with reflective strip and red LED bar pointed downward on back under hitch.

Will have to get a night shot.

If you get spark knock from 83 your timing is probably off.

 

check plugs.

even my old vortec munched platinums like they were made of something wimpy.

 

iridiums, gapped.. should cut back on knocking.

 

I still need 91. Stinky cat reasons.

 

I bet I could blow the guts out if I play that modern cold air intake game.

 

FYI.. the disty is still the champ. Tighter timing for decades. the new coil on plugs is fractal geometry for identifying individual cylinders at the computer.

even the first vortec could ride the crank sensor, they chose not to.

I bought a train horn from Hornblasters.com, going to install it this weekend. **not my video** but I'll be installing that same horn. (I'm sure someone will ask me so, it's the second one you hear in the video)

^^^ ..."An error occurred" ...

 

 

When I first got my license I had a '88 S15 nearly brand new. I bought an air horn off JC Whitney for $107 - that was a pile of dough at the time! Came with a vacuum-operated air pump - whenever the pressure got low, you'd hear the thing clicking away under the hood. Downside was a LONG fill time - if I was out having fun with it, it would take about 5 minutes to build pressure again.

 

Was rated at 131 decibels - was pretty much the same horn TT units used. Had a lanyard and everything. Had alot of fun with people cutting me off, or pulling out i front of me ... or, just walking down the street - the look of horror on their faces when they heard that thing was priceless. :lol:

 

That truck was so ridiculous looking - I'm trying to remember WTF I was thinking ... :lol:

Yep error here as well on the video. Horns are nice, I don't know what who made the set that dad put on the dually but it works well. Tank is too small at only 1.5 gallons. With the compressor only rated at 25% duty cycle it surprisingly is still working. Buddy and I will be installing a Viair compressor(s) and 5 gallon tank(s) eventually. The horns are hidden under the cab on the rear passenger side, makes it fun to scare my back seat passengers sitting right on top of them. Some people don't care for them, everyone has an option. While driving some drivers don't care how loud your horn is they still won't get out of the passing lane. It is nice to have a stupid loud car truck alarm though. Panic button is fun when your friends are hanging around your truck too.

I've got a pair of compressors in mine - I could just buy a horn and plumb it up. Got me thinking now ... :D

 

Right now I've got a set of 4 horns out of a '74 Riviera. Always loved the sound of the old GM 4-note horns. Found them off eBay a few years back.

Did a 2010 Colorado cluster and a 2003 Sierra cluster. Oh and a 2000 Corvette FOB and a 2005 Impala FOB. Cadillac guy thought $40 was too much for a FOB programmed to his car lol lol lol. Told him to go to the dealer. He'll be back !!!

I swear I was in a spot in AZ that looked exactly like that on a motorcycle ride once - nearly the same bridge design and dam (although smaller). Been 17 or more years, so having trouble remembering where exactly it was ...

 

Gotta love the West. Everything looks amazing in every direction. :thumbs:

I drove to Vegas this morning. Managed to get 18.2 mpg cruising at 78 mph most the time

    • 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
