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

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. :)

      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.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
