ok kstruckcountry I will try that, also is that the most appropriate thing to do given what I posted at the top should I be able to skid and have not so spongy brake pedal? Thanks

I don't think I can skid mine on dry pavement. I'm pretty light on the brakes though so can't say I've tried, lol. The spongy feel could easily be air though. Always been like that or out of the blue?

Abs prevents skidding ,,,

 

as pads wear it takes more pedal travel than new pads ,,,,,

 

if the system hasnt been opened for any service lately i'd say try having it professionally bled again ,

 

m/cyls only need bleeding before installation (bench bleeding)

 

have the ABS bled with a tech2 scanner for giggles ,,,

 

good luck on getting the truck to skid there driver lol

if there are 2 terminals in the fuse area then it needs a fuse ,,,,,if it has none then its just empty ,if just one then you can add a terminal at a great PITA

so if there is gold inside it means it should have a fuse? and where theres no gold inside the hole means I don't need none correct? this photo here is not from my truck I just want to confirm if that's what you mean? Thanks govtech4

yes the top cover that you pull off yes has a black and white diagram yes and it states amp number fuse to use but its not there in the spot so its missing? or is it supposed to be missing? or there should be one there?

    • This video may not be the exact content for the joke thread but its a lot of laughs so here it is, I've only watched a portion of it so far but if anyone is looking for some light hearted good soap box driving action, its here. As a note in the upper left of the screen it shows the number out of 100 to refer back to any particular vehicle for comment !.    https://www.facebook.com/reel/1351928276956715
    • Did have to make 1 modification because of the WeatherTech rear mud flaps and that was needing 3 longer screws than what came with the install package. 😄
    • Picked up the liners yesterday. Installed passenger side WITHOUT any modifications. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Rain is interfering today with drivers side. Very Happy! Will add pics when finished
    • As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.
    • That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.
