Been having a "rollercoaster" week:
Sunday, drove to/from church, grabbed some groceries on the way home,
Monday, took the day off, had to race out to kids' high school to change a tire on daughter's Cruze, made it in time to watch my son in the HS' play that evening,
Tuesday, went looking at houses, found the house we want, got it into escrow, went to work, followed shortly after by a trip to Kaiser Urgent Care, for me, where they told me that my foot was broke,
Wednesday, Palmdale to get workman's comp going, and
Today (Thursday), another trip to DR (second opinion), NOT BROKE, and back to work.


Could have asked for a recommendation. I have real estate agents in the family. And why Palmdale? Move out to Kern. Life is better. Commute to Edwards sucks, but 1st week is about over. Also saw some setup for Captain Marvel at work. Brie Larson taking pics before shooting.

Moving from California City to Rosamond.  The drive from the house to Plant 10 (Palmdale) SUCKS!!!  The only good thing about the drive to/from Palmdale, yesterday, was listening to a few guys talking on CB19 from Lancaster, Wyoming, and Idaho.  Was wondering what they were shooting this week.  Figured it was either "First Man," or "Captain Marvel."

Because you still can't do it right :P

 

Lift out but tap when still over the tube. If that doesn't work rotate it 180 degrees so it faces up. Don't fight Gravity, make it work for you.

Congrats on the EX-T. I was going to suggest that, they have nearly the same options as the Accord just a little bit smaller,  but you didn't seem to be in the mood for suggestions. :lol:

Yup, that's an EX-L. They had just came out when I got my Accord, and parked next to the two previous generations every day at work for 5 years, I was shocked Honda made them a LOT bigger, but probably to make room for the HR-V. The ones I parked next too, the guy did nothing but changed his oil every 3000 miles. I didn't think he ever changed any other fluids, and one made it 250k miles before the cooling system got so clogged and corroded he couldn't have it flushed often enough. The next one had 70k miles with zero hiccups when I transferred and that included the guy driving it over 120 miles to work on his day off one time. :lol: oh he was in a bad mood that day.

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      on-wheel cellphone control: 2026 1500 WT (2.7L 4WD std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      I have a basic 2026 1500 WT  (2.7L/4WD reg cab shorttbed). Comfy, generally happy with electronics/radio - but is there a way I can add switches to steering wheel right-side position (curr. empty) so I can adjust volume, push phone button to voice dial, etc? Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
