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.

Interesting.....so do you have that set now? How do you like it? I'm considering trying something like this out.....should be interesting though. I use an OtterBox due to my line of work and may end up being more of a hassle using magnetic ends with a flip-open port cover like on the OtterBox unless they hold on pretty strong. I use wireless charging everywhere I normally charge except for in my truck only because, you know, Android Auto. Would be nice to find a half decent clip in a half decent location with no center console that I can just place and use something like this.

I installed this thingy on the top of my 2017 6.2L. Not really sure what it does, but my truck goes really fast now.

I love the wireless charging. I just wish there was a forward location to do it so you could see the screen.

Alignment and ordering parts to install a Gleason Torsen and lower Yokon gear.  

 

Very curious how this goes and affects performance

Yup, been using this one for awhile. Magnet holds strong. The inserts stay tight, no issues of it popping out when disconnecting from cable.

New washer fluid pump today.

 

Pretty stupid design for the washer bottle. You have to remove the wheel well liner, 2nd battery tray and a bracket just to get at the dang pump.

Installed my new Rough Country LED bullbar, didn't hook it up yet because I need to order the wireless switch yet. Also Installed some door sill decoration. bace6e75fee9c0bc66de509ef5befa91.jpg951adb30e9e8c1c6de3e311762fede3f.jpgf9f2896f7a9de0ec5cdedab55d6f42d2.jpg

Finished up wrapping the trim on the steering wheel, talk about a pain to put back in without taking the airbag out first..

      Vehicle Payments

      By KARNUT · Posted

      This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      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.

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

      By jake111 · Posted

      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.
