Lithium batteries do not contain metallic lithium and therefore do not oxidize with water, a common misunderstanding but a misunderstanding nonetheless. These batteries contain lithium salts, and the lithium contained within is already oxidized, which makes them oxidizers in and of themselves...
Maybe, and hear me out because it's a stretch....maybe the point of such a small wire wasn't to use it to run current, but rather to use it as a fishing tool to run appropriately sized wire through the same route. Just butt splice the proper gauge wire to it and pull it through, then cut the...
It's based on testing battery cell performance at the factory. If you're not aware of what C rating is in reference to a lipo pack, then I suggest you read up on lithium chemistry batteries and get up to speed, because there's a lot of info on the subject that you're probably not aware of. It's...
Show me the reason why Ohm's law prevents it, then explain your variables. It won't push the burst current while starting a vehicle, but there's no reason to doubt the claim that it's capable of that when the variables are there to support it. I said as much in my post.
Oh, I went down this rabbit hole a while back. Seems like there's a whole lot of conflicting info on the efficacy of siping. Most manufacturers and tire dealerships don't agree with it while some guys swear by it. But shaping/shaving tires for a specific purpose absolutely has its place...
I use a NOCO GB251 24V pack to start my PT6A-34, and it works every bit as well as my old Aero Specialties 4800A GPU that cost several thousand and needed to be wheeled out on its own cart. Voltage levels during startup remain in the same threshold and spool up time is identical with either...
Nice, that's where my relay lived for a while as well. Not too many other places available for it, but I did figure out that I could just barely fit it between the negative battery terminal and the fuse box to free up a little space.
Take a look at the two rectangular spots below where the VIN text should be on the background sticker. They appear to be cutouts in the transparent VIN overlay sticker. Both the OP and JR's have those cutouts visible, OP's to a somewhat lesser degree but I can just make out a transparent edge...
Right, it's a lot easier to control those kinds of variables with a conventional breathalyzer to prevent false attempts, but that's not what they're wanting to add to vehicles. In the proposed new devices, they're metering ethanol content in the atmosphere immediately surrounding it, and that's...
If it was anything like the beer that blew up under my truck seat from the summer heat years ago, he'll probably be there a decade or so.
Alternatively they'll make some sort of alcohol filter that can be placed over the air inlet so it only senses fresh air, or a simple tube that is routed...
It won't be that kind of device, they want it to passively monitor the immediate atmosphere in front of you. Which is fraught with real world issues, such as HVAC blowing, windows being down, top being off...I honestly don't see that part of it getting off the ground. Plus, if every single...
Crescent wrench to the rescue, just hop into the dash and find your telematics antenna(s), then use the wrench to remove the antenna, problem solved 💁♂️

I'm at 43K on mine and there's still a ton of tread left, even after running them for a while at the overinflated PSI that Ford recommends (32PSI seems to be ideal for tread wear). For sure I'll get 50K, looking like possibly 60K. I often leave some of that rubber at stop lights and the...
Having spent more of my life on 35"+ tires than not, I can unequivocally state that these tires are the only ones that didn't feel like 35's. They feel like street tires and have none of the bad manners that tires this size or larger have. When you factor in the street qualities you get from...
I get flashed occasionally when I'm on remote highways with no lights in sight, particularly if there's an older vehicle with halogen lights ahead of or behind me because it looks like I have my brights on in comparison. I usually just flash them back and they get the idea. If that doesn't...
Apparently that wasn't a problem with mine, because I never had to do anything to it and there were no clearance issues in that area. I still have the overhang and it's not contacting anything, the winch tray lip clears it by about an inch.
