Just got my 6 month truck back about 3 weeks ago from the shop to get the airdam replaced and what not after hitting a stray dog on the interstate. Also while taking snaps of it, decided to take a couple of my fathers new HD.

Beautiful trucks y'all have.  Of course I'm partial toward your dad's.  grinnnnnnnnnnnnnn

 

Durn dogs.  I have had to pay a couple of times in the past for damage that they have done.

Love the Xtreme man!  :thumb:  :thumb: I was really into them for a while and starting to get back.  I'm looking for a new vehicle but can't decide:  Xtreme, V8 in a 1st gen. S10, 96-98 Silverado, or if I can wait long enough a Sy/Ty.

Thanks for the compliments. Wish I had some pics of my pops older ride, his 95 GMC 2500 4x4 Im trying to convince him to let me have it as my workhorse ride for when I go camping, hunting, paintballing, pulling trailers and etc.

 

I think my father has enough trucks though, he could give me one lol. He has a the afore mentioned GMC, a 98 Chevy 1500, and a the new one pictured above. All 4x4, I think he could loan me one hehehhee.

This is a little off topic, but it needs to be said...

 

You did the right thing hitting the dog (or whatever else it could have been).

 

Last thursday, a car w/ 3 local h.s. seniors swerved to miss a dog.  The car hit a tree and flipped several times.  It threw one of the boys out of the car, and the car landed on him.  All you could see was feet and ankles.  

 

Sorry to bring you guys down, but this boy was the only son of a lady that used to work for me.  She is still very close friends with several women I work with.  There has been a dark cloud at work for about a week now.  They cancelled/postponed the prom.  This boy was extremely popular and had a great life ahead of him.

 

I'll close by reitterating...

 

You did the right thing by hitting the dog!

No kidding!!!!  Never swerve.  At least the air dam stuff is flexible and cheap (replaceable) to replace, or even repair.

 

In my case, through all these decades, I know I have tallied up a bunch of armadillos, a few dogs (my little car back then lost on one of them), and my '99 Grand Am had to have its front nose cap replaced because of a big, smelly, rooter swamp pig.  I didn't swerve, just that the thing entered the road as I came through.

 

If a 300 pound man was to lay down, and you measure the top of his chest to the floor, this rooter pig was bigger.  

 

If I had a truck back then, I would have loaded that pig up and had him butchered.

 

Anyway, humor aside, as the previous message said, don't swerve.  You did right. Close your eyes in case the air bag goes off.   :crazy:

      Gas fill door

      By newdude · Posted

      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.

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

      By newdude · Posted

      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.

      Active Grille Delete

      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.

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

      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?
