I haven't got a speeding ticket since I ditched the radar detector like 10 years ago.  Maybe coincidence, I usually drive 5 over, 10 at the most.  *knocks on wood*

The modern radar detectors are awesome and a joy to use. Much longer range, GPS and other tech to filter nuisance alerts, etc. 
 

And yes, a little sense goes a long way too. ?

First paint correction and seal on the AT4 now that winter is over. This blue looks even better after a clay/polish/seal.

They’re pretty useful if you know how to use them. If you think they make you invincible and you go on like you’re Mario Andretti well....

Poppycock! Mario Andretti wouldn't be caught by the police.

Gen5DIY radar detector harness installed and hooked up to my Escort Max 3. Also works perfect with my V1 so I have some options. Not sure which detector I prefer yet.

Get rid of them both and get an R7!  ?

I had the R7, but returned it for the R3. I didn’t like the R7 size. I wish they could have made it a little sleeker looking. My wife kept gaving me crap about being tacky  too lol. The angle screen and arrows were really nice though.

I like the idea of a radar detector.... I am still waiting on seeing how I can install a reliable CB radio setup without drilling holes in the body for the antenna. Would love one for long trips and the convoy trips with buddies.

Installed the Bed Mat Friday, and the Tonneau Pro cover last night. Plan on getting a topper next year, so the Tonneau was just a cheap option to keep snow out of the bed this winter.

GMRS (with the proper license) is better plus the antenna is much shorter, I know how everyone loves short antennas around here.

Also, NMO the antenna to the roof and forget about it. I put one on mine the before it hit 500 miles.

also, you all really go all out with the radar detectors. My years and years old ESD-787 still does the job just fine...

I just like the filters on the modern ones. They knock out a lot of the phantom K band alerts from BSM. Nice to know that if it’s going off, there’s usually actually a smokey around.

They sure would be handy for all these cars with BSM systems. You might’ve just reminded me why upgrading would be worth it.

GPS lockout is the other HUGE reason to upgrade.

Swapped the chrome emblems for the OEM black ones on my '20 RST 3.0. I'm not sure why a RST comes from the factory with chrome emblems.

      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.
