    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/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    As I say at work... that sounds like a problem for future me. :LOL:

    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    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.

    I figured I'd cross check the same source for mine out of curiosity. They can be found used in the $200-$400 range. I guess when the vehicle is 100k that msrp makes sense.

    I'll have to watch it closer and see what all it does it would make sense at really slow speeds it would try to avoid lugging as well.

    Interesting. My 22 f150 does not seem to skip 2 or 4 all the time. (Can watch it indicate each gear and feel each gear on acceleration in normal mode) seems to do it more in slow traffic or very light acceleration. The denali is so smooth I couldn't tell you if it does or doesn't as I really...

    So far, my 19 has given me no reason to suspect it won't go 300k+. As of right now I'm half way there. That being said the 07, 03, and 04 are well beyond that on just brakes and tires so.... probably should've kept the 04. Edit for clarification: if anything gives me issue, it will be the HMI...

    The 10 speed in the denali is pretty good. The (more or less the same) 10 speed in the ford is a jerking shuddering mess. Coincidentally the 10 speed in my cousins sierra behind the 6.2 does the same thing as the ford. In both those cases I equate it to someone not knowing how to drive stick in...
