Kind of like pigs. Making them fly is simply a matter of sufficient thrust . . .

I had an assistant who beat three separate stage 4 cancers, yers apart! (the last one, though, left her unable to work.)

Nah, that's after you cross da boys and get "moldered" 😜

I stopped looking for current requirements two tables above, at "Battery : 12 VDC, Minimum 12 Ah" hmm, you're right, I didn't. My interest pretty much begins and ends with pulling cars up my car hauler. So far, we've successfully powered it with an escalade with a running engine, and with a...

I'm planning on going both the length of Route 66, and CA-1 in all of my convertibles, with the top down for the distance . . .

The winch has instructions. They're apparently a couple of product revisions behind. :rolleyes: Anyway, the manual claims it draws up to 12A.

I'm really not sure whether this should go here in towing, or in maintenance, or . . . . [so I won't be offended if it moves] I connected the factory pigtail to my winch. It took some doing, as HF seems to leave the manual be when it makes changes to the product, but I got there (but with...

or so they start out. After throwing the trailer on the freeway (biggest uhaul, biggest trailer), their field service came out. After examining the hitch on the tongue, he told me that it was set up right, and couldn't possibly have come off unless the ball was too small. The very, very worn...

I bought both of those. If it is, I missed that, but I don't think that's the case. It was the sweet spot in the line, with enough capacity for anything I need to tow. At the moment, at the suggestion of someone from one of my car clubs, it's held on with a rather heavy chain. I got 60mm...

give it a try before you need it! We were at a car gathering, and someone noticed the low tire on my Fleetwood. Someone else had one of those contraptions he'd been waiting for a chance to use, and rushed off to grab it. It melted. I don't mean that it shut off partway through. It melted...

"My name is doc, and I have a Cadillac problem." chorus: "HI, DOC!" oh, who am I kidding. I have an old car problem in general. :rolleyes: I had only two requirements on the new house during our search: my lower back insisted on hot tub jets, and I insisted that I have garage storage for...

In my ideal (and naive!) thought, I'd like the trailer physical brake to come on at the same time as the physical brake on the maverick. So if I can regen to a stop, great, and if I can't, so be it. I'm not hearing it do that when I tap it without the trailer; just the electric whine. (I'm...

I'm about pulling my hair out here in this you-can't-get-there-from-here. I picked up a Harbor Freght/Badland ZXR 5000, a 5,000 pound winch, and their hitch winch frame. I also picked up both of the mount plates they carry--and neither seems to fit--the small one can't line up properly, while...

Hey, when Peter Pan has it in for you, no hook is too big! :crackup:

so if it is applying the trailer brakes immediately, wasting my kinetic energy, perhaps I should use L instead when I have the time and traffic clearance.?

impulse purchase! You go, girl! :crackup: hawk, himself susceptible to "shiny"

This. It had nothing to do with the energy to shift. Lockup torque converters prevent a lot (but not all) of the slush. Ack! quick, Holy Water and an exorcist! ack! the only time that I prefer an automatic (at which point, I also want modern AAC down to 0!) OK, and when in a large...

Even just hyperlinks and cross references would help. I wouldn't rave about how well my Bishko (?) cds/dvds of pdf scans of 70s and 90s GM factory service manuals do that, but they are far superior to what came with the maverick. Living somewhere where those are common daytime temperatures...

I have a 2025 lariat hybrid with 4k towing. When does it tell the trailer brakes to activate? When the brake pedal is touched, or when it pushes far enough to activate the actual brakes instead of regenerative breaking?
