That's exactly where I got the info... research papers. Not the "news".

Yes, I think for myself and look things up instead of subjecting my brain to "news" echo-chambers, which only repeat party lines. Facts would help on the discussion aspect. And what does the comment about pets mean?

Compared to what? I agree that they could have up even worse, but that is a very low bar to hurdle. And this isn't a hindsight observation, it was obvious right from the start what the effects would be with a little thinking. $7T just in stimulus alone! Regarding the "deadliness" of the virus...

Nothing unfair or unethical about it in the slightest. In fact it is precisely what I expect to happen in a competitive free market. The government response was the problem. Some money printing was necessary, but it was excessive and very stupidly dispersed. Many companies went bankrupt, while...

The covid laws and the excessive money printing response, along with the asinine way in which it was "dispersed"... created all sorts of supply and demand disruptions. Who are the greedy ones you are speaking of? Anyone in the business of making and selling things, who suddenly has a bunch of...

Not greed... money printing. It makes $ worth less... not very complicated.

Comfortable seating position about 18" off the floor, about 56" total, minimum for me.

Wut?! You mean they all suck? :unsure: 🤪

They can go that far with a recharge, so pick that option. Too many downsides to EVs with excessive range. If you need that, then pick something else.

Ya... thought maybe it was an issue with the 5.7L I didn't know about... :eek: (y)

What is that?

I actually get better mpg with big heavy Hankook ATs (35x13) than the stock Bridgestone street tires (32x10) 🤪 Rolling resistance is not something you can tell by looking or weighing, unfortunately...

It's not semantics, it's science and math. And in this case the conclusion of needing 800Ah to charge a car battery was wildly inaccurate. 8A for 1 hour is 8Ah. 8A for 10 hrs is 80Ah. And the units of power are watts. Amps are not energy or power... but if we multiply by voltage, then we get...

An 800A car battery is nowhere near 800Ah. Maybe 50Ah? They only deliver 800A for a few seconds. And the units for the charger will be in A, not Ah. Considering that most of us do fine without any of this, 30-40W seems huge. Lead acid batteries are OK being trickle-charged when full. I'd find...

It would be interesting if you can convert that to an average W/F of heat supplied. That's Fahrenheit between indoor and outdoor temperature. I think our campers are fairly comparable in size. Mine is ~13 W/F in testing (For instance a 50F delta T, would be 650W) after saturating for 3 days, and...

Ya, that was a really dumb design change. I finally replaced mine in a parking lot at Bryce Canyon when it had near 200k miles. Luckily since I had an '84 the housing was big enough to accept the previous generation's chain and guides. Another dumb thing at ~80k miles was the oil pressure...

I measured the input to an electric heater. It's simple and works well. Hard part is gauging the exterior environment when you have variable sun and temperature and wind... but estimating is good enough. I don't camp in extreme temperatures, but it's nice when the body heat of one person is...

I just checked Consumer Reports reliability history for the entire 2007-2021 run of the 2nd gen Tundra, which is mostly the 5.7L. 12 of those 14 years got the highest rating, 5/5 for "Engine Major". The other two are 4/5. For the "Engine Minor" category 9 years are 5/5, and the other 5 are...

1000 ml and 500 ml are volumes. Air is a compressible gas, not a fluid. By the rationale I think you are trying to make, a tire with double the volume and same pressure would carry 2x the weight. And similarly, a tire with 2x the pressure would carry 2x the weight. But... tread width and...

These are options in your current size. https://tiresize.com/tiresizes/235-85R16.htm Can you fit a larger tire without clearance issues?
