18s?

He's going to try and convert you to 20's, he finally broke me after a few sets of 18's :crackup: . I'll never go anything smaller than 20's now as long as its wrapped in a 35, 33's on a 20 don't have enough sidewall for me.

Lmao. I'm too tired of beating my head against that wall. It seems that our tolerances grow with our trucks. There was a time I would never consider 22s but now I like them. I just won't unass the cash for the tires. I'm like you in a way. My truck has such low miles I'd be stupid to get a new one, but I'm done dumping money into it.

I hear ya man, funny how our tastes change and evolve over time. I'm about to turn 60,000 on the old truck, not quite as low as yours.

I have 6500miles on my 2011HD, well I did find out the the 325/65/18 terra's are load range D my Current tires are load range E. I went and tested my TPMS on the rears at 50 psi and got a warning So I guess I will be putting 56lbs in a 50psi terra or I have to call and cancel the tire order. I could pay more $ get the trails they are 65psi. AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF I mentioned my plan to the wife..... :( she goes oh are you having a midlife crisis. LOL I don't complain about the 80 pairs of 50$ shoes she bought. I told her Out 6 year son is gonna love the lifted truck..... she says that's not a good excuse. I'm still doing it thought!

35- 12.50 TRAILS cost a few more $$$ like 176 you stick that with the Fox shock upgrade and this whole thing could pay for a very nice vacation. :)

You make a valid point, however the joy of driving your nice truck will last longer than a weeks vacation :driving:

stopped at my friend Bodyshop he is going to paint my bumpers to match from what he told me their is no going back he has to sand and etch them.

I need smoked headlight, taillights and a new blacked out grill

 

well I need to look for some steps so my wife and son have a chance in hell in getting in truck.

      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

      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.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      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?
