Sure they can, just harder for kids getting started with their lives to afford it these days. I replied to that right after having a conversation with my friend that has a 2013 Ram 3500 and we were talking about if/when we'd ever have to replace our trucks - and how expensive it would be.
I...
A NOCO Genius 5 has been connected to my battery for 1 year 4 months now (~28,000 miles) and gets plugged in every night. Set it and forget it, it remembers the last setting.

It's $80 right now, I paid $65 when it was on...
I hate the MPG too but slower and it really jumps up.
If we get to the point where we set the destination and let the vehicle handle all aspects of the driving, I wouldn't care if it went 50 mph the whole way there. I can sleep, work, watch a TV show...
I know we're still in the infancy but...
I think it's a neat product at a decent price point, and added it to my list of stuff I may eventually get (especially if they've got a sale). I already have a bunch of straps, so getting just a few hook plates may be just what I need.
If anybody was wondering about the stresses, kudos to user...
You'd think some of these photos were professional Ford marketing material. Nice trailblazing work!
Tell me about your hitchamadoodle:
It has annoyed me how there's no market for F150 roof racks, but have like 30 to pick from if you own a Tacoma.
That's a good point too - the manual says you're wasting power after 3 hours, so I don't leave mine on all night. But I just noticed something...
220-240 volt!? Mine came with a 15A 120V plug (NEMA 5-15P).
I.. suppose that might actually be true - my stock (ordered with the truck) F150 block...
Wall -> Timer -> Thermo Cube -> truck.

They make a few versions that come on and off at different temps. Or get fancy with some scripting and smart plugs.
I appreciate you posting the pics of the engine, I bought my 2021 with the block heater and I've never thought to take my FLIR cam and look. I'm very much after longevity as well with the BH, a 50W Zerostart oil pan heater, 5A Noco on the battery, and I also have a small space heater in the...
I'm curious on their charging algorithms for the 12v SLA battery.
I have a NOCO Genius 5A charger, SLA chemistry selected, permanently on the battery and it will draw 71 watts for a LONG time every day when I plug it in.
Today I plugged in the truck before shutting the engine off and noticed it...
Yes, "the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act puts the burden on the automaker to prove that a modification directly contributed to the failure of a specific component"
You made me go check, thank you. Yes I'm glad I installed it.
Here it is today with 4,565 miles since the last oil change in October with about 75 milliliters or 2.5 ounces or 1.3% of the total 6 quart capacity of the motor. Passenger side only, I didn't buy the drivers side. Probably should...
Was fun to see the ex-mil guys in here arguing and I thought:
Anyway, to be absolutely sure, and if money is no object:
- Obtain steel 55gal drum, add 1" ball valve at the bottom.
- Add heater bands and insulation around the drum, thermostat control at 180F.
- Dieselcraft or similar...
36 gal tank and normally see 550 to 600 after a fillup, except I towed a 2000# teardrop 1400 miles a couple weeks ago, and now the DTE algorithm has trust issues with me as it only showed 357 miles to empty after a fillup. Got down to a quarter of a tank of normal non-towing driving, and it's...
I was really happy with my Viofo.
I have a camper shell that renders my rear view mirror useless, so I got a Wolfbox G890 triple channel mirror mount dash cam. For a couple years I was using an autovox but first one died after a month, second one died after a year and a half so I switched...
