That little corolla battery that lasted 6.25 years(first actual cold day of the year here) only had 356 CCA. New one is 640. So maybe it will die on a cold day in 10 years :lol:

The battery in dads truck finally died last month after around 13 years. That's the longest I've ever saw a car battery last.

Getting ready to replace mine here soon. Probably do my dual battery setup at this point too. Damn winter is killing my wallet! New tires, batteries, gotta check ball joints and such so I don't prematurely wear my tires. Sucks...

I played three, then odst,(blah), then reach(really liked it) then CE anniversary when it came out, then 4. Never 2. My timeline for the games is out of whack, can't wait to play them in order.

 

 

Have to move whatever system I use most to the bedroom Have to play my games in there now, since I can only play when they go to bed, or when I let them watch one of their fav shows. Hopefully in a year or two when they get bigger I can move it back. Although bedroom is set up is pretty nice, 46" Sony LED with Yamaha 401 sound system. That little Yamaha system is awesome

I don't really follow bands, so wondering why one of mu favorites hadn't released an album in a while I find out they decided to stopped recording albums and tour two years ago. :(

Downhere.

 

Amazing voices. More pop than I usually care for, but listen to them, you can clearly hear every single word they say.

 

From their debut album many years ago.

Free Me Up:

 

 

They Sing/wrote my favorite Christmas song, what brought them back to mind

 

Downhere - How Many Kings:

 

 

 

The last song on their first album had a funny hidden track

"Rock stars need money, we can't live on baloney sandwiches, please buy an album, or a t shirt, or something, it doesn't really matter, so we can make it through the night"

All signed up to learn mechatronics for free in college now.

Cool degree to go for, if that is really what you want to do in life, that also leads into Biomechantronics or the stuff you see in video games like exo suits and stuff like that. If you do find a good company, been a while since I researched this career field, you should make a median salary of around 80-90k a year. That is of course you are good at your job and have been in the game for a few years. I'm still thinking that I might try to pursue this as well being I love making things better. I have to basically apply the same principles to my job as an electrician/enviro troop and can submit forms for improvements on how to do something better or even add a part that could save the AF money over time. Either way, good luck and I hope it make you the big bux so you can buy or full resto a bad ass truck in the future!

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
