No that's the Traction Control

Thought lane dept. changed from green to orange but stayed in the same location on the dash, just wanted to make sure I didn't put my foot in my mouth lol!

yeah right, guess that explains why your lane departure warning light was on at 110 mph.

 

hey you don't have to explain it to us here but a day will come when you might have to explain it to someone else.

 

He wasn't out of lane and plus he is free to speed as much as he want.

The little green truck is the Lan light and its says he was in the lane, the orange light under the needle is the Traction Control light.

My buddy actually took the picture for me so I could focus on the road haha. And I only got up so fast for the pic and it was a completely open stretch of straight highway.

Yes I was! Was heading back home to NOLA from Lafayette. Was between Lafayette and Baton Rouge.

You aren't kidding! When traffic hits, it SUCKS in that area

Yea im a trucker I pass through i10 in la since I was with my dad 20yrs ago so I knew exactly wat u meant open highway. Of course someone from Alaska assumed the worst didn't bother asking who took the picture and was mistaken of you being out of lane, and he must forgotten the land of free.

And at 110 on an open hwy, there's no real point in using your turn signals [emoji23]

i stand corrected (and edited my comment accordingly) on the lane departure alert.

 

your truck, your license, have at it.

They told I'm not driving in a race car, but no one ever told me I couldn't drive it like one [emoji57]

On my way home after sitting in about 30 minutes worth of bumper to bumper traffic getting out of the city, I found myself on some open highway, so I made up for the lost time [emoji6]

or is that the stock speed gov.?

I have the Diablo Intune I-1000. I used it to disable the speed limiter and do a few other things.

Stock tune governs it to like 98

Here's to a fresh start, supplier pricing and Truck Month. Plan to level, body color or black out the chrome bits, and get BAKflip F1.

I woulda liked to see what your instant mpg meter was reading at 110.

Me? I've checked that before when I first turned off the speed governor. These trucks drop off pretty quick after 70-75 MPH. I'm basing all these numbers I'm about to throw out off memory and the temps outside were warm, little to no wind blowing, and had premium unleaded gas in the truck. Mods that could've had an effect on mileage were: it was leveled, 18" magnaflow, stock tires and rims, air valence was installed, tonneau cover, and AFE Power CAI

MPH -- MPG

60 -- 30-32mpg

70 -- 23-24mpg

75 -- 18-20mpg

80 -- 16mpg

90 -- 14mpg

100 -- 13mpg

110 -- 11 mpg

 

These are the numbers I remember seeing. I had a lot of clear ground so i would jump up a few MPH and then keep it like that for about a minute or so and reset the trip odometer to see what kinda mileage I got over he course of the 1-2 miles I would travel in that time.

If you ask me, I think those numbers are pretty impressive for a truck this size at those speeds!

    • Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge. 
    • There are no stickers in your glovebox?
    • Look at the numbers on the stickers in the door jam...
    • Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.
    • After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
