The Jets whipping the Colts didn't surprise me a whole lot, but I expected Green Bay at home to make a better showing? ???

 

Ok-now we get to see if the Steelers can beat the Browns three times this season.  It's at Pittsburgh so they shouldn't have much trouble but for some reason I'm wondering if they can beat the same team 3 times in one year?   :fume:

 

We'll see....

There was some weird sh1t all through the wildcard games...  I'm guessing the only favorite to win was Pittsburgh, but they didn't cover the spread!!!  All the other games were complete upsets!!!

 

(I'm glad I wasn't a "bookie" this weekend)

The playoffs reflect the season. All I can say is 2 teams will go to the superbowl and 1 will win.  ???

You wish to go out on a limb and say who??

 

Call me crazy but I will say the Raiders and the Falcons . Raiders win 24 to 16

Steelers vs Browns. I was about to break my tv after the first half of the game. In the fourth quarter my house was 'rockin.

This game is about as big as the Super Bowl here in Erie PA.,

approx 100 miles from Steelers and Browns country. The Browns vs Steelers controversy is very big around here.

:eek:

Go STEELERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :fume:  :eek:  :thumb:

I was lucky enough to get tickets to the Steelers game this past Sunday.  First off, I woke up this morning and have no voice....lost it screaming at the game.  I agree, if I was watching it on TV, I would have thrown it.  You would not believe the number of people that left during the end of the 3rd...I just wanted to smack all of them....no faith.   :eek:

 

All I gotta say is that the Steelers better get their arse together if they want to go anywhere in the playoff's.

 

Oh BTW, the Jets are gonna beat Oakland...  :fume:

You got that right. The secondary defense played awful.

If they want to go any farther, they better learn to stop the passing game!! :fume:  :eek:

 

GO STEELERS!!!!!!!! :thumb:

Pittsburgh wasn't the only favorite to win.  San Francisco was favored too.

 

And Cleveland lost that game more than Pittsburgh won it, same with the Giants.  If Cleveland could catch an interception OR not commit so many penatlies they could've stopped them.  And piss poor play calling to run time off the clock screwed them.  They deserved to lose after falling apart like that.  They're lucky they didn't win, because with a pass defense like that Oakland would have tore them apart next week.

 

BTW Oakland will NOT lose to the Jets.  OF course I'm sure you hope they do, so IF the Steelers can get past Tennessee they don't get embarrassed by the Raiders.   :cheers:  :uhoh:

      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.
