Gazed at its sexines and an old woman got pissed today with me at work

She randomly says this to me as it's warming up in the parking lot after work.

 

Old lady- why do you need such a big loud bright truck it's so pointless for a girl.

 

Me- why are you such a nosy annoying b!ch?

 

I then hopped up in my big bright loud annoying pickup and took off... can't wait to hear about it tomorrow.

You save $30 cause it takes longer, at least that's what it sounds like. Hopefully they are trained to do the job properly, and pray it wont leak after their done lol

They are very reputable, and locally owned. They fixed a chip and crack on it a few years ago.

 

Edit: read my next post.

Robinson Glass, broken arrow.

 

Guess what? Yesterday I make an appointment, they said they have the full day open, it will take 3 hours.

 

Drop it off at 10 am......no ready call from them.

 

Call at 1:30 PM, its not ready. Why?

 

They didn't get the glass in. It'll be ready at 4pm.

 

Okay. I can underatand half of that. Stuff happens, my job relies on timely deliveries, we do not always get stuff in time.

 

But they never called me. A windshield replacement IS NOT AN ALL DAY JOB, and I was given a completion time. We woke up the twins early from their nap to get the car at a specific time.

 

They did admit they should have called

I had to hang up when they were trying to explain(by far the nicest thing I could do at that moment).

Bought a new radar detector for wife's car. Hers is a 10 year old Cobra. Bought her the cobra spx 5300. I have a 9370 that was a gift and it works very well for me. Know several other with cobras and they have saved us many times even though they aren't the best.

 

Car and driver used the new 5300 as a baseline against the newest escort and valentine v1.

 

Their result were the $550 dollar ones were way better than the $100 Cobra....but if you actually read the results....

 

Basically, the cobra maxed out range at 4000 feet. The escort and valentine could go 6500 feet or further. The cobra had more false alarms.

 

My thoughts:

Wait, so I still have 4000 feet of warnings for $450 less?

Haven't run a radar detector since I was 19. Don't need it when you can spot where they hide and talk smooth when you can't. :lol: One ticket in my entire life.

      Vehicle Payments

      By KARNUT · Posted

      This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.
