That’s a movie? Now I see what u mean

Stanley Kubrick film from 1971, very strange Sci Fi movie about a group of "punks" terrorizing the local community in the future, can't remember the year it was supposed to be. Pretty decent movie, was pretty highly acclaimed when it came out.

oh man Clockwork Orange. Lol

 

Gets pretty wild. I had to watch that movie in-class in senior year of high school. Creeped people out for sure. It wouldn't be so acclaimed now a days I think, everyone adhering to the politically correct 'rules'

Clock Work Orange, and Jacobs Ladder were two that you had to watch a few times to try and figure out what you had just seen...

Really, just like that you give it all away? You must be really fun to be around if someone is telling a joke...

Are the charging pad for 2018+ a higher watt? I rarely use the charging pad as my Note XX don't sit flush in there with a case and it's always connected for AA. I think the first month I kept forgetting I had my phone in there and I would open up lid and my phone would fly to the back seat.. so stopped using that charging pad. [emoji4]

iOttie makes a suction mount wireless charger that fits perfectly on the front of the cup holder. Phone is always in reach and handy for navigation. We’ve got them in all of our vehicles. I never understood why GM thought putting the charger on the console lid was a good idea.

Yeah, I had a wireless charger similar to that in my other vehicle, but then, at the time, it wasn't fast charging. I just like to plop my phone in those 2 groves by the outlets/connectors and I use a magnetic charging/data cable, I can just grab the phone without worrying about reaching to unplug it or push a button on the phone holder to release it. It keeps my phone out of the way and I use AA, so I don't ever need to look at my phone while driving :) 

 

I agree, I thought it was s dumb design, and I got a survey from Chevy when I bought my truck new, and that was one of suggestions I made, move the wireless charging spot.. :D

Finally pulled the trigger on a tonneau cover. Went with the BAKFlip MX4 and installed it in my 6’-6” bed in only about 30 mins.

HA!  That's where I've been placing my iPhone, and I've been debating on getting the magnetic charging/data cable.  I had a CD slot/magnet phone holder, but moved it to my daughter's Cruze, while I was driving it back/forth to work, haven't moved it back yet.  She finally went back to work this week.  Actually, I'm looking for a different one, a better fit.  Going to add the plate to my daughter's iPhone tonight, so she can use it.

After buying my first magnetic charging cable(3+ yrs ago), it's hard to go back to the normal style. Plus, it saves the port from wear and tear and keeps the dust out. AND you don't have to use both hands, just grab and go. 

 

This is the set I just upgraded to, it's does data and rotates 360, come in a set with 2 at 90 degrees and does fast charging. Comes with USB-C/USB-Micro/iPhone connector, use that one for my iPad, works great and using the right plug adapter, it's recognize as fast charging.

    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
    • 286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔
