Dolly the Dalmatian is definitely a guard dog.  She is my second Dalmatian and the best dog we have had.  We got her in Feb. 2019 as a 6 month old pup.  in May she jumped out of the bed of my last truck when a neighbors dog got too aggressive when we stopped to visit.  Dolly shattered her right rear leg when she landed but still got the best of the other dog (20 lbs. heavier mut).  7 screws, a 6' bone plate, and 40 stitches later she has almost made a full recovery.  If it wasn't for my 5 year old daughter seeing the dog break her leg I would have but it down.  She is a great family dog and wonderful with kids but she is a Dalmatian and very territorial.  Any adult better not get too close to the house, truck, or boat it doesn't matter if she knows them or not.  She loves the lake, farm and running so she fits in with our active family.

Some great dogs in this thread. I'll add my Buddy.
 
10 weeks old when I brought him home.

Now, 8 years old and trying to look cute.

Buddy passed at age 10 in June of 2018. RIP Buddy. He had some health issues that took him way too soon.

After 8 months of a quiet house and not getting out on our property enough we started looking for another lab. We have always had rescues, and we're looking for another.

River found us. She was a little over a year old and needed a family to love her, and we needed her. She been with us for a little over 6 months, and what a great dog. She's pretty relaxed in the truck too.

I have to admit that this is the first time I've looked at this thread since July when I lost my dog and best friend of 15 years. It was very hard but I'm glad he wasn't sick, and just passed away in his sleep one night. He had a very good life and was always a really happy dog.

Looks like he's saying "What are you waiting for? Let's go for a ride in the truck"

Nice looking dog. The Kong was always my dog's favorite toy, but mostly because it provided biscuits.

Lol thanks, it’s one of the few things she can’t destroy

    • Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?  
    • 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.  
    • 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?
