THIS ^^^^ This is *exactly* why I now have DVR systems. Had a fool do the same sort of stunt, except decided to pass me on the shoulder. But then tried to brake-check once in front of me only to (likely) realize that the grill of my truck was wider than his puny eco box of a car. I was...

You will know that the bars have gone past the sweet spot when the truck wants to shoulder into a curve. Scenario: rolling down the highway, enter a curve rated for the highway speed, and you feel the opposite front corner (ie: if a curve to the right, then the truck's left front) will feel...

Don't idolize German approaches *too* much. While engineering can go well, the Accountants have taken them over just like here in the US. And, they are not good at admitting when something is wrong. Been there more than once and watched others go through it. Get this stuff...

I know that there is back-and-forth about the #9 resistor. My vote is to remove it and make adjustments with the programming so that the system stays in balance. Put another way, if you want more power, have the computer do it in a harmonic manner. Related, don't drink the Kool-aid on marine...

Soooo... How 'bout dem Bears? :D Or... Go Cowboys!!! :cool:

Don't take this personally... A truck in pieces and somebody completely unfamiliar with it, what could go wrong? Getting it running for for daily driving reliability in 3 weeks seems a bit optimistic, but that is me. Will need to focus on making sure everything goes back together correctly...

Yeah, FTE members can get a bit prickley at times and I regularly take a break from that site as well. Especially when people ask a super basic question with lots of information already available (like: 'Hey, what is a better / the best injector?') or basic specifications (like: 'Hey, how much...

From what I have seen, even net meter customers buy high and sell low. That $80/month solar charge is actually possible good news. Another Robbin Hood element of residential solar is (or now, maybe was) that there was no contribution toward grid maintenance as all these costs were tied to...

Yup, bed is definitely aftermarket as the tail lights are a give-away. About that tranny, if it was rebuilt to OE specs, that is a problem. OE specs are not good enough and it needs a better build. Do some searching as there are plenty of threads on better options than OE. Oh and about...

About the awesomeness of non-utility solar and other renewables... The inconvenient truth with the non-utility renewable energy movement is the same as the BEV: dependence on a Robbin Hood model to hide costs. The solar movement has done so for decades. We have also seen cycles that without...

Just cross checked the media reports that I had seen against NHTSA, and looks like there is name confion out there. Correct, Bolt it is.

Off-grid solar is definitely attractive for those whom want to claim that they have free and renewable energy. Sailboat owners also laugh at powerboat owners with the claim of free transportation. But both solar off-grid and sailboat owners are ignoring a boomerang which comes back with a...

^^^^ THIS!!! Were there not a demand, upfitters would not have a job. Although I do agree with Ferm about the power aspect. After haven driven multiple gas and diesl motors (both v6 and v8) in the 390 - 420 ft / lb range with #8K on the hook, to include up / down 6% grades, big power is pure...

My vote is that somebody is trying to put a 'check-in-the-box' to shut-up the diesel fans by stating that they 'listened' and put a diesel back in the Burb. But when sales are lackluster, they get to kill it again with the claim that nobody wanted it; they also get to use this as a...

Still not impressed. 8K# towing is really no different than the gassers. Sure, not many tow RVs this heavy, but then again some do. To date I have towed 8K# with two SOB SUVs vehicles 'rated' at 9K#. One was a 100% whilte-knucke deal and the other was not really stable. Also, 8K# continues...

Recommend starting a new thread rather than derail this one.

Rather than tapping two holes on the side for an improvised sight-gauge, might consider the old aircraft method of a bobber that sticks out of the top (dip-stick in reverse) and lowers with fuel consumption. If something whacks that sight gauge, the tank is going to empty. Especially as this...

Actually, that post was more likely from a bot looking to see whether this site is a candidate for planting a Trojan or malware; if the servers are not fully patched (all the way through to the virtual servers), then it may have succeeded.

Carry a pair of 3 ton floor jacks. Sure, the jacks will do nothing for helping get your truck extracted from the ignorant drivers. But, once you finally get the truck free, those jacks are great for turning their vehicle 90* and giving the same opportunity to wiggle their car out of the space...
