Gents,
As I mentioned in another thread, I had to make an emergency trip up to Conn. and back on Saturday. On the way back in Delaware, while my GF was driving, a BLIS alert came up on the left side screen. It read: "BLIS fault, system disabled" or something similar. I noticed that the little little light on the drivers side mirror remained illuminated. I told her to hit the "ok" button and a few seconds later, a Cross-Traffic Fault, system disabled" or something similar...so I told her to hit the "ok" button again. After a couple of miles, the little light on the mirror was still "on" so I told her to pull into a parking lot and shut it down. We switched places and after a minute or so, I restarted the truck and all was well.
I have no idea what caused the faults since it had been dry all day nor was my truck dirty. My only guess is that possibly a bug or 5 got splattered right where the sensors are and that caused them. The Eastern Shore as it's called, has bugs like most of us have never seen. It happened right at 7:30-7:45PM when the bugs were so thick that it actually sounds like rain or small hail when you're driving at 60mph! It took me almost two hours to wash them off yesterday after I went back to my house.
I did get a chance to see 95MPH on my trip for the first and probably the last time! After reading someones comment last week and 85mph was "awesome", I just had to try it!
I left my home around 7:30 Saturday morning and as I got onto the highway 3 miles from my house, there was zero traffic. There are two red-lights a 1/4 mile apart then just 55mph highway for 12-14 miles or so. The lights were green and as I passed under the second light, I kicked it in the ass and the speedometer raced to the right. Just as it hit 95 I let up, rode a couple of hundred yards then let it roll back down to 60mph. I knew it was a "safe" section of highway because the LEO's always setup a few miles further down when they are performing traffic control. I also have an Escort 8500 x50 mounted tight to the glass between the front wipers and it's done a fantastic job for me over the past 6 years or so whether mounted in my car, my trucks or even on my bike.
Boy, 3 tons at 95mph is pretty fun....and smooth as glass too but I got it "out of my system"<LOL>!
