  1. Question, To lend my truck or not

    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...
  2. Question, To lend my truck or not

    Can't tell if that was /s sarcasm or not.
  3. Battery charger recommendations

    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. https://amazon.com/dp/B08G3NVR1N/ Non-affiliate, no tracking product link. It's $80 right now, I paid $65 when it was on...
  4. Noco Genius Users - Pulsing Green

    +1 on leaving it attached. My NOCO 5 is attached with ring terminals to the battery and gets plugged in every single day.
  5. Opinions Wanted

    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...
  6. Rad truck straps for bed

    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...
  7. My Girl Got Tackled

    You're a good man, OP Charlie Brown David.
  8. Ford demos next gen infotainment system

    I had never heard of this - that's fancy, and it was 14½ years ago this video was uploaded to Youtube showing it in action:
  9. Permanent Drill/Bolt On Yakima Roof Rack Installed/Review

    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.
  10. Engine Block Heater Thermal Photos (3.5L EcoBoost V6)

    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...
  11. Engine Block Heater Thermal Photos (3.5L EcoBoost V6)

    Wall -> Timer -> Thermo Cube -> truck. https://amazon.com/dp/B000M4ZJ6Y/ They make a few versions that come on and off at different temps. Or get fancy with some scripting and smart plugs.
  12. Engine Block Heater Thermal Photos (3.5L EcoBoost V6)

    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...
  13. Warming up a Powerboost

    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...
  14. I want too pull 10000 lb. Toy Hauler with 23 F-150 and 4 inch BDS Lift LOL

    Also while we're talking about towed weight distribution... Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWd8ml9mFMo

    Here's a convenient button that does just that! hehe
  16. Catch can causing oil pan leak?

    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"
  17. Catch can causing oil pan leak?

    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...
  18. Oil Analysis

    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...
  19. just a funny driving last night

    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...
  20. Dash cam recommendations?

    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...
