This is when you go into whichever maps you use, Apple or Google, and tap that "Avoid Highways" toggle. 25' empty cargo trailers have a LOT of torque on the ass end, which is especially bad with semis passing. Get off the highway, take the path less traveled, and that immediately changes...

Fact Check: True!

I think it weighed about 4,700, and I didn’t have the same weight distribution as what was installed on it, so it extra sucked. Picked up from the customer in MA and took it down to FL. NJ was just extra special suck, as it always is.

Allow me to place one in the “can’t recommend” column.

I’m experiencing the inverse, battery coolant and ambient temperatures are both lower in the morning than when stopping for the night, and yet SoC occasionally rises. Now the times it does fall, it will fall a LOT. As in not explainable other than it is kicking in the HV circuit when it should...

HVB. SoC for the 12 V is mostly at 100% unless the truck has done some of the clickety clacking overnight.

I have done this with a regulated bench supply on my Prius, after the engine gave up the ghost. Gave me a bit of maneuverability, but not worth much otherwise. What I would like explained, is why I will sometimes shut the truck off with the state of charge as reported by my ScanGauge at 65%...

“Have you tried turning it off and back on again?” Some of the best troubleshooting advice is absolutely the dumbest thing when it concerns computers. Teaching sand to think was a mistake.

Meh, I’ll be there end of next year. Already passed 40k today after buying July 1st.

Now I wanna make a video of me roaring past that “next gas 89 miles” sign, while towing at 70, the DTE showing 1 miles, turning to 0 right as Kenny Loggins belts out “Danger Zone!”

Why did you park next to a monster truck, do you hate your roof that much? 😛

Very interesting that work table. Basic idea I had is a one piece fastback, like the Michigan Vehicle Solutions one for the F-150, replacing the factory plastic bed rails, and maybe the back of the cab pieces. A second, optional piece replaces the tailgate, hinges on the rear edge of the main...

I put on my villain cape, and I do 3 extra squeezes while twirling my mustache

Probably. Without a mass of liquid to muffle the sound it is usually more audible. Unlike the turn of the century Chevy’s, which you could hear with a full tank, inside the cab with the windows rolled up and the engine running. 😃

They fixed the fuel pump issue a long time ago by running the return into a bucket around the fuel pump, which overflows into the tank. So even when the fuel pump is sucking air (which is still not good for the pump, in fairness) it is cooled by remaining fuel in the bucket. As to the tank...

As the title implies, I’m dreaming up a custom bed cover. Current idea is to make it with wood, though aluminum might be in the future if I can find someone to weld and powder coat. To be clear, I’m not looking for a freebie, I do expect to pay for the design.

The C-10 ran from 191-246” long, the second gen F-100 was 189”, and the Maverick is 199. Full size truck confirmed. 🙃

I will take “unintended co-inky-dinks” for $200 please, Alex.

I am only slightly regretful that I didn’t get the AWD hybrid…. But only slightly. Anyone happen to have a cut away or model example video of how the system works?
