Well this weekend we went into the Boulder mountains in Utah and got to test her ability default_smile.png Didn't get an elk, but had a great weekend camping and listening to the elk bugling in the morning. Hubby has an H1 so he wanted to teach me a few things on flexing and slowly crawling up rocks.

 

He guided me up the rock, and while the pictures might not do it justice it was a little scary putting my new truck into that position LOL! Jumping out to take the pictures wasn't easy, and climbing back in without steps was even more of a challenge haha!

 

BUT! This trip so makes me want to put some more offroad-ish shocks and tires on her, it was so fun!14ed97ad72f3a88c6b93e733f20cb9e3.jpg2d248bac0a46686afb4cee01b6eb866f.jpgaf3d6cd22a9c616510faea857df62fd5.jpg1505d04f2949b2137988137776a1a804.jpg6a6d8894be643a40cccf720b28d97103.jpgcf70fe9c28dbcb742586a568b0a93c5b.jpg3171387f526c049623166eb8ff80796c.jpgd8ce7fc4d954a1e61f3c516ce26c5b96.jpge3cdb132e983647a2eed70e5e15d39b9.jpg

Nope, washed her pretty good tonight and no leak. Thanks!

Interesting.  I've had mine flexed like that several times and it hasn't leaked.  I am assuming you believe the window shifts or flexes when the frame stressed, resulting in eventual improper sealing?

Tried to do the same thing with my non-trailboss LT this weekend. Definitely more motivated to invest in a small lift now. Although, it still wasn't maxed out on articulation yet. Needed a bigger rock/hill.

There is no evidence body flex or what is seen in those pictures cause the window leak issue.

Mine is a pavement queen and has leaked three times. There are others that go off road like above and never leak.

Had it Colorado this last week, didn't take any pics with extreme flexing, but we spent several hours driving on mountain side trails, also confirmed you can hit 115mph, about 112mph the top speed cutoff starts kicking in, with momentum getting to the 115 mark. 1945 miles over 7 days, 5+ hours of trails, 50+ photo stops, hours of idling, lots of side road and highway driving i ended up at 17.6 mpg with the 6.2, quite happy with that.

I'm no offroader, but I'm guessing if you continued forward off that rock you could do some serious damage  to your rocker....   best to back off, yes?

Yes, anyone would be silly to try and go over that rock. This was just a flex pose. :)

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

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      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

      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.

      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?
