I saw an awesome concert last night.  WV Mountain Stage.

 

The acts were

 

1. Geno Delafose & Fench Rockin' Boogie (Zydeco Band from New Orleans)

2. The Kinsey Report (Great Blues Band from Gary Indiana, the lead man used to play w/ Bob Marley)

3. Bela Fleck (Awesome Banjo man) and Chris Thile (Mandolin player from Nickel Creek)

4. George Porter and The Runnin' Partners (Good Blues/Funk from Louisiana)

5. Gov't Mule (my favorite band)

 

One of the best shows I've seen.  It was awesome.  :thumbs:

Elwood,

 

Wow, what a line-up!  Thumbs up on the Gov't Mule too.  Have seen them a few times and met the guys at a record signing gig locally.  I love the sound of Warren Haynes guitar work.  He did a really good job filling the void in the Allman Bros. for a while.  I especially like the first album with "Mule", Monkey Hill and Left Coast Groovies (the tribute to Frank Zappa one of the best musicians and guitarist to ever live).

 

One of my favorite songs that Warren Haynes plays on is the cover of one of the old BTO songs "Let it Ride" by the band Big Sugar.  It's on their "Heated" Album and worth the price for just that one.

 

Glad to hear you had fun!

 

Regards,

BIG BLUE

 

P.S. Uncle Ted lives about 30 miles from me here in Michigan.  Have been to his World Bowhunters store for bow hunting accessories a number of times and talked with him about hunting.

Glad to hear there's someone else on here that knows who the Mule is.  Most people I know don't have a clue who they are, except that they're a band I love.   If you ever want to get a show of thiers on CD or Tape let me know, I've got a few, as well as a few other groups.  I can send you a list if you want some just let me know sometime.

 

As for Ted, that's pretty cool.  I would love to meet him.

      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?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
