    Sounds like Stellantis is on the right path.

    Gears, they are good. My mid drive E Bike is amazing because I can run through the gears and keep the electric motor in happy rpm land. Electric motors require rotation to keep the coils cool. I've ridden hub drive ebikes and they bog down and overheat bad on real inclines. Night and day.

    Owyhee Canyonlands Changes

    These lithium mine and solar farm proposals are amazing to me. Destroy massive swaths of environmentally and culturally sensitive usually desert land. Draconian open pit mines, using huge amounts of water resources and all the attending poisoning of groundwater. Panels that are all made in China...

    Sounds like Stellantis is on the right path.

    Devil is in the details. I'm hearing lots about towing torque etc. Even electric motors don't like to run at almost stall speed. Say you are in a situation that requires low range. Electric motors get hot at near stall. That's why the best electric bikes still run through your gears with a mid...

    Lightest Camping Wood Stoves?

    Check Winnerwell and Ali Express. Lots of options. Some are larger than the truly tiny ones and have good solid features. Glass windows, efficient secondary burn, glass air wash etc. You can rig some of them up to burn charcoal which helps with the small wood and burn longevity concerns. You can...

    2012 vintage Ford 6.7L diesel engine? Good, bad, other?

    6.7 is a solid platform. It can have turbo issues due to ceramic bearings that were solved by 2014. Fairly simple swap but not cheap. Great tranny. Emissions stuff is an issue but they have those largely under control across every platform now. Just make sure you're running hard and on the...

    Trestle 2022 Ram 3500 Cab/Chassis Build Thread

    Trestle, I'm so sorry to hear about your dog. Never is easy letting our loved ones go. Reading about his case of Valley Fever, the first I've read of on this forum, but I'm seeing more and more buzz about it in the desert southwest. Mostly in the Mojave and Chihuahua/Sonora but more and more in...

    Another 2020 Ram 5500 Flatbed Camper Build

    Hi Brad, love this rig. I'm sure you've already posted this but how is the bed attached to the frame? Bolts/plates, isolating pucks, springs etc? Always trying to learn stuff. My aluminum flatbed is holding up well so far but I had extra long sills and a 12 on center cross beams as a custom add...

    Custom Trailer to haul "Toad" vehicle (vs flat-tow)

    That lil Tracker sunuvagun is almost purpose built for a TOAD! Yes the systems (especially braking and no reverse) is a huge PIA but 10s of thousands of ppl do it. And the reverse issue can be addressed by unhooking and driving the TOAD out of the problem, but still a PIA. For every downside a...

    Best deals on 100ah LiFeP04 batteries?

    Heated batteries do this: below a certain threshold ( some temp above freezing), they disallow charging and divert the charge input source to an internal heating element. Once the internal temps are safely above the temperature threshold, they divert the incoming power to the normal charging...
