Having BC on in stop and go traffic is not unlike an airplane autolanding...the whole time you should be on edge waiting for it to eF up. I'm enjoying the latest BC, but I use it at hwy speed and generally kick it off if the traffic becomes stop & go as I can do that better.

Yes, glad I didn't spend the extra to have that contraption installed.

I get it. I figured it was a useful efficiency thing. Now it is sitting in my garage and my efficiency hasn't changed a bit.

I did a round trip (3.5 hours each direction) with old timey blue cruise...and it was fine. The day after I returned I got the BC update. I had the same round trip lined up the next week. Trip A was about 1/2 back roads and 1/2 highway. Trip B I purposely went all highway to put the new BC to...

I think we are saying the same thing. But - he did mention, this job was to update 2 modules, for pay of .3 each module. Yet, that .3 doesn't take into account all of the other supporting modules that have to be updated. He also talked about how bad pay at the dealership is. My impression was...

So I've driven the truck on 2 of my longer usual round trips now. I do this drive 3 to 4 times a month. About an hour each direction and 95% highway. My mileage on these last two trips is the same as it ever was. Zero change in economy.

Welp, mine is now completely removed. I too am curious on the efficiency difference. I'll get an idea tomorrow.

Cruising down the highway, In my fine machine... A semi-truck tire tread carcass was unavoidable. I actually thought I'd clear it just fine...but for the active air dam. I drove another 15 minutes not knowing there was even an issue. At my destination I noticed from afar there was something...

We have the same setup, seamless.

The last coming flood was when Hertz sold off their fleet of Teslas (renting an electric car, not my idea of fun). I don't pay any attention to the used market, but I don't think it was terrible for the used market.

Truly mind boggling how great it is.

The Best Tug that would move that taildragger around is the size of a vacuum cleaner.

In Cali, most (ok, a lot of) ground equipment is electric. For tugs is can make complete sense as, one of the things you want is for a tug to be heavy. It is hooked to a Piper M600.
