Not So Pro 3

[Dream]

Sweat lodge was great. I sweated profusely. Then I ate. A lot.

Now, its bedtime.

Hope you took a shower somewhere in all that there Stinky!

Had the kids and company over. It was bacon smash burgers and mac and cheese night

 

[Dream]

Those chevies will be around when we are gone
The ford will be tin cans

I saw one today that is recycling itself pretty well, so I'm just gonna say when you dont keep them on the road, they will all go away.

I hate that. Id love to have the time to save it because it was my grandfather's.
Just not sure when that might be.
I figure the 350 will be fine if I get around to pulling it. Those are like an AK47. Built with enough "slop" that they will still work even after being heavily abused, and cheap to repair.

Ferds will be Aluminum cans one of these days I guess. At least the ones made the last few years.
My newest truck is about to be 29 years old.

Ive decided I DONT want a diesel.
Went over and helped the boy with his friends 2015 Chebbie 2500 HD. They replaced the lift pump and did a cartridge filter delete. Supposed to help save the injector pump. (CP4?)
That thing was a BISH to prime.

mine still have the factory style fuel delivery
no lift pump
suction from tank through the filter and to the cp3
the cp4 from what ive read has tighter tolerances and need filters changed more often
if they dont get taken care of then they contaminate the whole system
cp4 is in i think all 3 big names
i know chevy and ford for sure

...aaand welcome back to 1950. Seems we have come full circle, but with a "little" more technology.
Just wait. Soon you wont have to worry about fluids n stuffs.
No fluids in a Lithium battery to check on.
In fact, id recommed you dont even get too close to those. The one you stare at all day and hold up to your head for extended periods of time is probably enough.
They will figure out how to make electric brakes that dont require brake fluid if they havent already. No tranny fluid anymore, because theres no transmission.
No differential oils, because there will be electric motors doing the differintiating...

And since we can make all the power we need to charge those fine machines from the sun, wind, water, unicorn farts, and kum-bay-yahs there should be NOTHING to worry about....

Yeah, I know its coming.

Hope I'm dead by then though.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't intrigued by the power and speed that electric vehicles can achieve. Beyond that, meh. Technology has to be better than what it replaces, not just equally as good with different tradeoffs.

Let's think critically about this for a minute.

People will start buying electric vehicles when electric vehicles are cheaper to buy than gas vehicles, have more range than gas vehicles, can tow more and go faster than gas vehicles, and can charge to 100% in under an hour at any gas station for less money than filling a tank of gas.

Currently, compared to gasoline vehicles, electric cars are more expensive, have less or equal range, tow less or equal, are generally slower, take hours to charge and the charging network is scarce.

There are no advantages. Why should they expect people to buy them?

Because this is Murica and Muricans jump on any and all fads, good, bad, or indifferent

Good morning tuggers

Hi folks!

 

[Loony661]

Well, oldest boy puked last night. He’s currently sleeping on the couch. We have a big deer drive setup for this morning that all of us are a part of.. I guess today we find out how tough he is.

 

[41FanForLife]

Morning guys

 

[Lnk]

Good morning men, raining here until noonish. Coffee is good, taking my time today, yes, damn slacker!

The only advantage I can see would be for a city dweller that didn't drive a long distance to and from work.

Morning Folks! Rain again today. I decided to build a spare chain storage box for my work van. Getting tired of having chains everywhere.

Must have been something he ate - he’s full of energy and already to go. Game on.

This is serious fellas..

I'm 99% sure I got a text message from a guy last night that pimps his wife out or is some kind of swinger/sex trafficker and he sent it to the wrong number by accident..I didn't know if I should laugh or be a little concerned..I'm 99% sure I should be a little concerned..

What should I do ?
