  1. Electrical crimp connections

    I only use Harbor for odd one off tools. Would not use them if I was a pro. Back in the day I fixed typewriters. Loved the spring hooks used to working with small springs. Found a cheap set there. Handy when you need it.

  3. Electrical crimp connections

    I'd be to afraid to make any changes. I have ran it on an F 150 but did not change anything. To afraid to mess something up.
  5. Electrical crimp connections

    Yes I do know how to solder. But all over the internet I have seen that is not desirable in auto wiring because of the vibration.

  8. Extended Warranty Questions

    My dealer tried to sell me there own plan. If you were not familiar with the Ford ESP you would never have known. I asked if it was a Ford plan that's when they told me they sell those too. So far I have not gotten one. I am concerned about all the electronics.
  9. Electrical crimp connections

    In the past I have always soldered and shrink tubed electrical connections. I have read that crimps are better. Is there a certain type of crimps to use? And or the crimping tool? I have used standard butt splices but they are not sealed against moisture.

  14. Deer collision damage results in $6k repair. Insurance lessons learned

    Have hit 3 deer with my Honda CRZ 2 within a week. And one tore the driver side mirror off. That was the only damage. I did not even see that one. Driving to work in the dark hear bang!

  15. 12v Auxiliary Power Source (round/cigarette lighter outlet) -- continuous power?

    My Radar detector powers off if the truck does not move for 5 minutes. If I run into the store I have to manually turn on the detector. However after what it seems like an hour it will start up on its own I assume that's because the 12 v shuts off. I don't think the load on the 12v has anything...

  20. Will maverick last over 150k with mostly highway driving?

    Last 2 cars I had went over 250k before they got wrecked. I worry more about carbon buildup than the turbo. Retired now so won't see that kind of miles.
