Tobias, wassup with the Husqvarna?

 

Just felt like a change in avatar again and I chose a chainsaw. Since I only use Huskies, that's what I chose, nothing more. I do love me some Husqvarna though. My dad still has his that he bought 20 years ago and it runs like a top. I have a Husky chainsaw, blower, and trimmer. You just can't beat 'em.

 

 

 

:D agreed...got me a pretty sweet ol' STIHL too

So today at school, someone put silly string all over my truck. I took it through touchless wash 3 times for it to get off and it's still there. God I'm so mad right now. I wanted to ask if this messes up the paint. Thanks. :D

OK, I got to confess. It was me. I don't know what came over me. I had the can of Silly String and just went off the edge. Sorry dude. :D

ARE WE SUPPOSED TO NON REPLY TO THIS THREAD TOO!!??!?!?!?!?!?

 

 

Shut the hell up already.

 

REPLIES WILL NOT BE TOLERATED! More Silly String will have to be administered to the person who REPLIES to this thread. THIS IS A NON-REPLY ZONE! That is all......please resume reading the NON-REPLY sections of this post.

Very well played sir.

I thought Punmax stormed off of our forum in grandiose fashion a few days ago... that didn't last long.

People like that never leave for long.

 

Kinda like the ones that mention suicide and not go through with it just for the attention....

 

 

....then gets hit by a bus two weeks later.

What would you do if you caught someone throwing their soda cup into your truck, calmly go over and discuss other places they might throw their trash?

 

Thats exactly what i would do. Much better option then throwing a hissy fit and doing somethign you can get charged for.

Thats the best non-reply so far in this thread. :D

 

LAME

 

 

And that's the worst. :D

 

Thanks

Ouch....see that's lame. It's like what John Travolta said in Pulp Fiction: "You just don't f**k with another man's automobile. It's against the rules!". I agree with Daddy....I've heard about detailers using a steam cleaner to get crap off the finish. Or maybe rubbing alcohol...

It's not hard to imagine why someone would Silly String this idiot's truck. Frankly it seems he's lucky that's ALL they did, considering what a schmuck he is.

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