    Engine Stringer Spacing (width) Specifications ???

    On mercs site they give you the installation drawings for the reman 4.3 and 350. (Click reman and scroll down to the section and it gives pdfs) Center to center on the mounts is 22.5" (have it written down from redoing my stringers and 4.3 and 5.7 should be the same for that.) The 6.2 stuff is...

    I have had enough winter and snow in N J.

    That's the worst. 6 months of the year I watch the sun rise and set at work. Contrary to popular belief... that really does weigh on you mentally if you realize it or not.

    I have had enough winter and snow in N J.

    As much as I loved 2024 for its lack of rain most of the second half of the year... we really need it to keep everything else alive and not wanting it would be very selfish of me. It was a freaking nightmare managing the reservoir on the back half. :LOL:

    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    The max tow F150s are are rated up to like 14k or so. (Source, we have one) I think this boat dry is in the 11k range?

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    I will admit the nature around the plant can be quite pretty. Unrelated but the river that feeds the bay I grew up on is in the tree line. Funny how that happens. We ended up in the area that got about 9". Town just a mile north totaled 8.6" and by the time it was done I'd say that was correct.

    I have had enough winter and snow in N J.

    I'm not really bothered until low single digits. Once you get into the negatives it all feels shitty to me lol. -22 F was coldest I've dealt with and you all can keep that. :)

    Difference between U.S. & Cdn. capacity plates

    My parents flee down to Florida a few years ago. There were 5 passengers on the flight plus crew. They were told to sit in their ticketed seats for takeoff and landing but could move to any seat they wanted while in flight. This more or less explains that. I kind of figured it was for ease of...

    I remember those seven marine units. From what I remember they were quite heavy. (1100 lbs?) I've never seen one in person either.

    On my girls car it either coasts/engine brakes down or actually brakes depending on the speed mismatch. If they are moving faster than you it typically coasts. That being said in most situations I've used the adaptive cruise control it ends up you are 10-15 mph below your set speed because of...

    Time for a new mattress

    Parents have a sleep number. Dad loves it. I've slept on it a few times. It sleeps cold and feels like an air mattress to me. I've had memory foam and didn't like it for the same reason. Hurt sleeping in the hole. My girl recently got a beauty rest. I slept on it for the first time last night...

    Lifting a cab really isn't a difficult task in theory... I've done it... but any vehicle in the northeast after about 5 years it usually results in most fasteners being... well... stuck. Those road salt free areas or people who swap vehicles every 3-5 years usually never have to worry about...

    My auto insurance went up a bit after they legalized pot in NJ. My health insurance went up way more. My friends health insurance went up about 30% over the last year. The only conspiracy I could get behind is a push toward only autonomous vehicles. Which regardless will happen anyway in my...

    My dealer will do parts for me that I bring in... but the head of service is a friend so that helps.... that being said, my dealer likes to order by vin. A lot of people (not anyone here per say) don't do that and end up with the wrong parts for their vehicle despite being similar. My escalade...

    The denali uses a second camera for that that shows the side profile of the trailer when turning. I honestly like that better than the factory tow mirrors because you see everything.
