Dennis, Yeah, with 4100 pounds of vehicle weight and the tires inflated to 50 psi, the thing seems to coast quite well. I agree. Someone posted something a couple of years ago about the increase in range of the vehicle with the half-tonneau cover installed. As I remember, it w...

Dennis, that's very interesting about the fan buffer preventing regen--thanks for the info. I wouldn't have guessed that the vehicle had a way to sense that the fan buffer was out, other than sensing that the coolant was too hot, and that wasn't the case here. It would be inte...

I'm not surprised to learn that the charger was not a TAL charger. In my opinion (I'm not claiming to be an expert here), the TAL charger operates in exactly the same way as the Gen 2+ charger. It does not have the display capabilities of the Gen 2/2+. However, like the Gen 2/...

Has this charger ever worked with your truck? A 40A 2-pole breaker is correct. The circuit should be fed by two hot legs of the three-phase service. The voltage between the two hot legs should be right around 208V. Tom Dowling From: [email removed] [mailto:[email removed]] On...

Dennis, I have a hunch that the regen gets disabled if the batteries are sensed at an elevated temperature. I saw the regen get disabled in my vehicle during most of an afternoon, and I know that the batteries were hot. To me, it would make sense that the vehicle would disable...

As I remember, I think Jeff said that the original GM coolant pump on these trucks had a very short life (something like 500 hours as I remember). When he did the rebuilds, he found a longer life pump (made by Bosch, as I remember), that I think fit nicely. From my memory, I t...

Hello Stephen 50 degrees is the inlet temperature reading before reaching the tray. You can get this reading with a Tech2. If you pull the paddle when the A/C is running it stops the cooling of the pack. What you hear running is just the pack fan and that will turn off in 5 or...
