    I think I've had to adjust a cable parking brake once. Based on the number of recalls of electronic parking brakes releasing or engaging when they aren't supposed to... I'll take my chances. I don't even like hill start assist.

    Loosing Faith in Humanity . . .

    I've done a lot of prop swapping and selling on market place. Works great for stuff like that. Never had luck with vehicles.

    I think you have to hold the button or something and it'll default to regular cruise. Thats how it worked in my girls corolla anyway.

    25 Denali, 22 f150. The ford looks like its an arcade game dash. I assume being an 18 the dash still has some analog elements and isnt the full digital one. The denali at least gives you a little more detail. I have a few Bluetooth readers but they aren't reccomended to be used with forscan...

    The blue cruise... it ping pongs in the lane. Not a fan. Adaptive cruise I have a love hate with as the set following distances in most cases are either too far or too close. And they're entirely useless as you have people weaving in and out of lanes into your following distance. Too slow then...

    Modern PT lumber

    Those timbers under the lighthouse were completely submerged in a freshwater aquifer. So long as theres no light and oxygen, it couldn't really rot.

    Flux Marine Outboard Engines . . .

    Everything poses an entirely different environmental impact depending on technology. As technology evolves so does our knowledge. Science is Science, facts are facts and the technology is out there and now we have to deal with it as it evolves. I hope I'm dead long before I have to deal with...

    Flux Marine Outboard Engines . . .

    We had this conversation last night funny enough. The misinformation around all technology has just made things worse. Then you have every keyboard warrior using a digital curated content creator (phone and search engine) to put that individual in an echo chamber for their beliefs. Then you have...

    Its weird though. Like I've driven an 8 speed with the shudder and this feels completely different. Its more like the pwm for lockup is pulsing. Doesn't do it under very heavy load or very light throttle. Just that one particular spot and even then not all the time nor in every gear. Its...

    So driving the ford I came up with a few more likes/dislikes. Likes: Acoustic glass Dislikes Electric brake boosters Digital gauge clusters (if you're going to give me a screen for a dashboard, at least make the gauges have more than a max and minimum for tick marks) The torque converter...

    Moving my batteries forward

    I seem to recall sealed battery boxes that had their own vent line you ran. That'd probably work fine.

    Best flooring options?

    I like the EVA. I will admit that most of the quotes I got they told me to expect 10 years at best out of it. The good stuff installed isn't cheap. The nautolex/marideck products last about forever. They do get warm if you like being barefoot is about the only drawback I can think of.

    Who makes covers that are any good?

    The cockpit cover on my 4 winns is 22 years old now. Sunbrella. Water proofed it 2 or 3 times over the years. Still beads and runs right off. Did shrink a bit though. For winter I use an old pool cover cut to size (thick tarp) stays dry, snow rolls right off. The 330 we had a custom storage...

    They all suck. The ZF in the rams is going to be the least sucky of them imo. But they all have the same issues honestly.

    Again, derivative from that program. Not direct joint venture but an off shoot of the program. All developed and loosely based around the ZF 8HP, just worse. All sharing the exact same issues. And the real HD trucks still use the 6 speed Allison (medium duty)

    Which is why I called it the ford version. You wouldn't even think they were the same transmission driving both. The 10 speed Allison is just a sticker and hard parts swapped version of it too.

    Boat is put away for winter. What to do every day ?

    The 33 has been in as late as Christmas. The 4 winns gets laid up if it gets cold beginning of November. In the winter I spend money on projects for it lol.

    Read the thread. There are a few things glossed over in the video that are properly addressed in the thread.

    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    Thinking about it... most model designations don't make sense. Like how the le is the low end in toyotas line up but then the XLE hybrid is near the top for starting but somehow you can get more in the SE... I think its intentional. :LOL:

    215 sundowner transom

    Yes, Jay's is the one I read through dozens of times before I even thought of doing this. I should've linked that as well. @todhunter was immensely helpful for my project as well as his thread. The only reason I linked mine is that its the same boat more or less. Dad did a few liberators back...
