Darryl, thanks! I'm not really very worried about the parasitic draws at this point as my truck and the battery are very new, so I don't anticipate problems until they manifest. Some have them, some don't.
I'm still curious what is the vehicle doing to shut down after use and prep for next use...
I changed the oil in my '05 SSR, took my grease gun with me to do a proper service and was going to pull the wheels to regrease the bearings and check the spindles for wear. No zerks and sealed bearings. My brake pads are good for any hairpin turn I might come across (at the posted speed limit...
I'm still getting to know my Mav, took possession early September. I've read things here about the "clicking", but only that it's normal. I have yet to run across an explanation for what the truck is doing, mostly just after it is shut off. If it "clicks" anytime later, I'm curious to know what...
Congratulations! Just like mine (except no tow package). I'm thinking of body color matching the rims also and satin black on the lug cover. Enjoy your new truck!
On the "flip side" part of your reply, did you ever do a cost/benefit calculation of your home electric bill? I'm not pickin a fight, just genuinely curious if KW/hr is cheaper than $/gal/mile. I can see that not having to do the weekly or monthly fill-up would have some appeal.
"No wasted space" for sure! I didn't know that front door pocket was so deep behind the big bottle holder, anything hard would slide down but a rag will stay quite nicely. I just discovered yesterday, (3wks in) the nice little space below the back seat (next to, not under).
I'm retired Vol Fire Dept, I've seen my share.
I fasten my seatbelt now far more often than I ever used to. However, I know when I don't need it.
Sorry to hear of your wife passing. I'm glad that it was not one of those wrecks.
Thank you for that. It got my lazy brain thinking. I got into the owner's manual (on screen, electronically in mine). (Procedure carried 24 to 25) I disabled the audible chime and can move my truck 10ft or 1000ft without that audible annoyance.
One jumped three lanes and landed on the windshield of a minivan. We got there +/- 5 minutes (VFD), she was still spitting out dear shit and glass, and
I responded to a call many years ago. A deer jumped three lanes and landed on the windshield of a minivan. (VFD) We got to the scene about 8...
Thx!
Out of respect for the OP, I'll soon try to start my own tread. This one has been fun and interesting
I'll watch this one one for a while. Good people and good advice.
