Truck won't have any problem with it. It's also got more power than that 350 :ROFLMAO:

Even worse, the last guy wanted to start filling the reserves when prices went negative from wuflu and congress blocked him. It'd be nice if those fools start prioritizing the country they're supposed to be serving. If we could just give really small strips of the US border to ukraine and...

I pay $240/yr regardless of mileage while at the same time our state gas tax has been removed the whole year. I want my damn refund!

Oil and gas isn't subsidized despite the talking points. The govt gets stupid amounts of taxes off of it from all aspects of its production and usage. Every bit of energy is taxed at multiple levels. Every single product contains energy as a component of its price, which is then taxed again...

They're service centers that sell vehicles. 1 $300 service every 5 years is bad for them. Just isn't any regular maint sans tires, and discount will rotate them for free if you're a regular customer of theirs. I loathe dealers. Even buying a new vehicle I don't step foot in them. I bought...

When you put sci-fi into sci-fi w/ a side of religion. It's both odd and fascinating.

Amazing that dealers are whining. This type of adoption anywhere else would be celebrated as a huge win. Farley happy

Indeed, without moving the pads out a bit to take advantage of the larger diameter the gain is zero. It's why I'm surprised that someone doesn't just make larger rotors and new caliper mounting brackets to move the calipers further out. This would work by increasing the authority the calipers...

Yeah, that makes no sense. You've got 40kW worth of 'free' braking on the truck. There's just no way of that increasing wear.

It's the latest software that introduced the bug FWIW.

I'm the same way, Hell I'll take a nice secluded off ramp to go investigate what's leaking out of the back passenger door. Totally not a piss break on the side of the road :ROFLMAO:. 3 minutes at most, back on the road.

Latest OTA sent to my MME has it doing all sorts of retarded things. One stretch of road in particular, suddenly it's dropping to 30mph in a 65 for no reason at all. Very familiar with the system but it's gone full-retard lately.

We'll get there. It's unfortunate that tesla is hellbent on pure electrification. Their engineers combined with someone like ford who's got loads of ICE experience could probably cook up a damn fine ICE generator concept. The ram charger is hilariously bad in this realm in their choices...

Likely due to misunderstanding what they are and what they're not. It's not a 1:1 replacement for ICE. Charging infrastructure is still poor, range is meh, especially on time at charging v. range added. Then there's winter. My basic advice is based on limiting charging to 90% for batt...

Yeah, towing is like any other vehicle. Whatever your gas mileage hit is, expect the same on an EV. Towing at a distance just isn't viable for today's EVs. Towing and charging is a whole other nut to crack because pull-through chargers are super rare. Maybe in 2 years pull-through (aka...

Everything in the screen is just shit. Sorry, less is in-fact, less. Frunk power open / close, but they couldn't get the tailgate to power close. I like how he accurately describes using the screen / menu levels to adjust basic things as "laborious" -- indeed.

CT has some odd choices. The aluminum bodies of current fords is dinky -- Ford needs to look at going with a MUCH thicker aluminum alloy that's harder. Current stuff is quite flimsy. Don't want no SS look -- thicker / stiffer aluminum with better paint compounds. Hood and roof, just a hair...

Does it say to full wipe up all oil from the area? I was thinking maybe they thought that little run was enough. I know the voodoo motors flat plane crank caused too many oil filters to come undone resulting in fires / seized motors. Perhaps it was a decision of loosening filter is a greater...

You know, by definition, resistance heating is 100% efficient. It's just with heat pumps we're able to make magic by moving heat generating 3-5x the heat for the same energy. I'm looking to do my own version of geothermal without having to go to super $$ systems. Bury a bunch of cheap water...
