Well skiing went well.  I sucked spent most of the day on the ground.  My gf goy reeally good and at the end didnt even fall.  We are both a lil tired and sore.  Have a few pics ill post later so check back.

 

Michigan had alot of snow.  Pretty nice day too (40's) not alot of people either.

 

Wish i had a snowmobile though :D  they had all kind of trails.  Maybe next yr

I can asure you Ryan, if you liked being on skis, you'd like being on skis even better with a seat and track behind them!  Looks like a nice place to go skiing though.  Sounds like a fun day.  A bad day skiing still beats a good day at work or school!   :P

yea 250 mile trip was nice.

 

I have a good pic of my gf she fell asleep coming home.  Going down I80/94 at 75mph i took a picture.  Pretty tough

 

haha

You think you're sore now, just wait until tomorrow.  Glad you had a good time.  What part of your body did you spend the most time on?

Posted

Im not that sore.  Mainly just my hips.

 

One time i was heading towards a snowboard hill i didnt want to go on it so i fell backwards onto my back.  That hurt knocked the wind out of me.

 

Other than that twisiting my knee a few times it was alright.  I was mainly on my butt

 

Ski pants i bought we nice.  Didnt get wet at all

They have orange/brown snow there (sand)

Well he has his beannie on, sunglasses, and ski bibs, but this picture might be deceiving, must be leaning up against a pole because he's standing.  Ryan your girfriend probably had an easier time learning because she's shorter than you, just physics, taller people seem to have a harder time, but you'll catch on.

 

Looks like a nice hill to learn on and not too many people.  Must have gotten good equipment, a lot of people who learn to ski always complain about the boots ie too tight,  cold or wet, it makes a lot of difference if you're fitted properly.

bibs?

 

those are pants with a nike jacket had 2 hats on )keep ears warm)

 

i am 6'3 and gf is 5'11 so she is tall also

 

i started off on the big hill.  I wont do that again :D

and no one commented on his photographing his girlfriend while she was asleep or even asked to see the picture, geez.

 

 

 

Anyways, glad to hear you had a good trip and that you didn't break your hootus as newbie thought you would.

ill tell you what though my @$$ hurts.  I thought i would be alot more sore than i am.  My back hurts also probably from 1 bad fall.  Im gonna wash 2 vehicles today hopefully itll work the soreness out

    • 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.  
    • 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.      
    • 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?
