I'd think you'd be OK up to 50A wiring directly into the battery. On the hybrid, as you probably know, there's no alternator. There's a step down converter that converts the 288V from the traction battery into 12V for the LA battery (or rather, 13.8ish volts when charging). If your question...

If you do it, you'll still want a DC-DC converter installed in the trailer to provide stable charging voltage to the batteries. Something like the newer Orion XS. Are you planning on running LiFePO4 batteries in the trailer?

Honestly I find DIY'ing oil changes a matter of convenience moreso than a cost saving measure. A set of ramps makes it even easier, but they're not even necessary for our trucks, just makes taking the skid off a tad more comfortable. I can also personally ensure that the filter is not...

Higher standard is a bit of a misnomer... same standards, different additive composition. The Japanese OEs all have a high moly content in their OE formulations as they believe it will ever-so-slightly decrease fuel consumption. I don't believe there are any off-the-shelf oils that have this...

I've always been a big Mobil 1 fan. Conveniently, the Costco packs come with 6 quarts and were on sale for like $28 at my local warehouse. So I bought a few packs for future changes.

Just under 5K miles.

Decided to do a Blackstone analysis for my first oil change just to see if anything out of the ordinary popped up. Elevated silicon, copper, iron, & aluminum but this is somewhat normal for break-in oil. I'll probably do another one at 15-20K (3rd change) miles just to see how it's doing, but...

Nice numbers for 91. Maybe once the warranty is up, I'll take the plunge. Is this done via ECU flash or piggyback?

Should work in your location below the rearview. I know our state (IL) has switched over to the ez-pass stickers, or you can go with the front plate mounted ones if you have a state that runs front plates. I personally like the plate mounted ones.

Was this on 91 or 93? You guys planning on playing around with E85 at all, or are the injectors pretty maxed out?

Eh, get a 5' and a Diamondback HD then. Can load your quad on top of the Diamondback and still have a usable bed :)

Another factor to take into consideration is the payload is like 60lbs less on the 6'. Kind of backwards, since most of the other 6' models have the same or higher payload than their 5' counterparts. So even though you have more space, technically you can carry less (weight).

They probably would have helped a bit but I didn't have them. Then again my trailer isn't too long (20') or that wide, so seeing around it isn't that bad. Just typically lean in a bit when merging, but the blind spot system also adjusts for your trailer length which is really nice.

I don't have access to the software anymore but there should be an option to run a full scan and pull all of the DTCs. But if you're sure it's clearance warning just select it from the systems menu and it should show you any active DTCs.

Man, so much to do. I was with family so we spent a lot of time together and I only had half a day or so to get out and wheel. Fins & Things is a 5/10 rated trail so it does have some technical aspects and it's recommended to have at least 33s with good grip. It's a lot of slippery standstone...

What issue are you trying to solve ? If it's the ADAS system, I personally wouldn't mess with it. But it seems like from your other post it has to do with your USS sensors - which would be the clearance warning system. Are you able to run a scan and post your DTCs here? We should be able to...

Agreed, seemed a bit exacerbated to say the least, I guess the best way to describe it is it felt like I was "bouncing" on the Timbrens. Hence I was thinking if I add one of the included spacers, it might smooth it out a bit. I probably should have toyed around with the AVS settings. Wonder if...

Completely normal. I just did 2700 miles of towing, along with going up and down I-70, I think the torque converter likes to lock up quicker to prevent the trans fluid from getting too hot.

A few short clips from Fins & Things

Just got back from a week long trip towing my camper all the way from Chicago to Moab. All in all, loaded with gear including the tongue weight of my 4000lb camper, the truck was sitting just a hair below the GVWR, so this was a really good test of my Limited (non-hybrid) starting from close to...
