Surprised to see a non ca model with thumb safety

My buddy got one on his. I guess they are both good and bad.

 

I like how Springfield's tear down and their dovetail safety like a 1911. I'll keep my Glock, but if I decide for a new carry gun down the road, it'll most likely be an XDs. My Springfields have always treated me well, not sure what made me switch, probably the hype around the 43 at the time

Mom sent me a text yesterday with pictures of their truck. Apparently dad back into his sisters mailbox. After all that work he did last year with putting on the new bed, painting it, etc, he goes and screws it up. Haha!

California has a roster of approved handguns. Smith only submitted a version with safety.

Looks like the one I bought 4 1/2 years ago. Yeah, safety isn't a big deal to me either. I don't get how "on" and "off" is considered to be so complicated(I have seen ridiculous complaining on deal websites about them, a bunch of agruements but no one ever changes anyone elses mind). If you don't want it, just leave it off! Edited by SnakeEyes

No camera? I just ordered one. I will have to install it with other radio and dash related parts

Helped install a light bar and aux rear lights on buddy's F150 last night.

 

This morning took the loaner car down to the boat to make a to do list and grab my fishing stuff buddy has been storing for me. We need to go through and sort it out and see what we put on the boat.

 

Still can't get used to how quiet the loaner is, darn v6. Got the mpg up to 19 something. Seems like a waste to get a v6 if I could get that mileage with the 5.3. Didn't break with the little bit of tackle I put in the bed.

I just drove her to work again and on the way home I ran errands and got her up to proper temperature, which isn't too common since I live so close. And that meant that I was able to drive her pretty hard, getting up past 4k rpm a few times. The engines really love the sub 100 degree weather.

 

No pics of her in the middle of the road though. [emoji12]

      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.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
