Here is a dumb move by the wife. We on the way back from the grocery store on the snowmachines. She decides to take an unknown short cut on the way back and hits a blind hill to fast. It launches her and the snowmachine into the air, so when she lands groceries go everywhere. Then here I come and end up landing on the groceries and tearing them up.
I ended up laughing and giving her crap when we got home.

Yep no injuries, and I am sure the wolves won't mind the eggs and stuff. Pride, she is actually all happy and proud about how far the jump was. I just been giving her crap for being a crazy lead.

Tell her practice a bit more and then she can be doing this.  :)

She probably would like it. Plus it means I would have to buy her another snowmachine which she would also like. The ones we have are utility and touring.

I once lived where I relied on a snowmobile for transportation for a significant part of the year.  Most of the time it was for basic and practical purposes like shopping or going to work but it provided a lot of weekend recreation!   Your wife created a memory that the two of you will hold forever!  A lot of the members on this forum have experience  dealing with exceptionally warm climates and it's good to hear from those who are faced with ice and snow for much of the year!

I will never leave the area, but every year older it seems the cold hurts just a little more.

How about designing a new logo. Of course I am referring to GM's new logo! I am really worried about GM, have they totally lost it?

What did I miss. Show me...show me 

 

Never mind, looked it up. Man is that ugly...ouch

 

And one else find it amusing that a company that has so many electrical glitches in their vehicles is going electric?

Maybe there’s an upcoming merger.

Yes, I'm always wondering why Ram even bothers with all the fancy electronics in its trucks

      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.
