  1. My home electric bill has basically doubled in the past 4 months! WTF is going on?

    I have a buddy that watches the propaganda stations (and the reinforcement algorithm) and totally buys into crap like that.
  2. Redtiger F17 Elite - Installation and Review

    A couple things for the greater audience playing along. 1) That passenger well fuse panel is great. Easy to access, and with a voltmeter, easy to identify which open slots are 12v or ACC. 2) the add-a-fuse things have a correct and incorrect orientation. So when you are checking the...
  3. Stick to Rotary Shift Knob Conversion w/ 3D Printed Rotary Shifter Holder

    Challenge it because principals matter. He doesn't own these designs. Can you just DMCA him back? Alternatively, can you just sell yours on ebay instead?
  4. Shuddering or Vibration at speeds above 45-50 all the way up to 80-85mph

    An out of round axle will do this or an axle with a worn inner joint (which causes an out of round condition under load). If the vibration exists while maintaining speed or under load then alleviate when you lift off the pedal then an inner joint could be bad and the vibration will change some...
  5. Intended use for slotted space on front console?

    This thread has me missing the late 1990s. Dang guys.
  6. 3D Printer recommendation / advice?

    Buy new. I've had a great time with my K1 Max and they have a couple combo deals <$800 - I like the one that comes with the dryer. I may have gone with a K2 if doing it again based on CFS (Multi color) but I'm still not sure I need it anyway. As I look through a lot of the posts on...
  7. Preparing for road trip

    IMHO, wind is a bigger factor to efficiency at speed compared to weight. Whether you’re driving faster, into a headwind or towing something with significant drag. I have documented as such over several vehicles, laden, unladen and towing. But it’s still hard to assess the airspeed velocity...
  8. MotorTrend 2022 Lightning Lariat 3-Year Verdict: Plenty to Love, Little to Hate

    Mine does as well although I wish it came up a bit earlier. I have to be quite close already.
  9. Powertrain Malfunction/ Reduced Power

    The battery module failing at 82k bothers me. Much more so than the issue arising for folks at <10k miles. I will have to plan on selling it or trading it in prior to the warranty expiring.
  10. MotorTrend 2022 Lightning Lariat 3-Year Verdict: Plenty to Love, Little to Hate

    Good article. It hurts to read that is at home charging (at night) is $.36/kwh which is BONKERS - like that close to DCFC prices. If I lived in Cali, I would absolutely throw some solar panels on my roof. My price at home is $.07/kwh and it doesn't change regardless of time of day so...
  11. Why isn’t the Lightning getting more of the gas F150 market?

    With Trucks, the EV use case is different due to the towing element - and not just the load from towing, but the wind break (or I guess it could be accurately referred to as a "brake"). The EV efficiency hit from wind resistance is BONKERS. I mountain bike and when I use the hitch rack...
  12. Stick to Rotary Shift Knob Conversion w/ 3D Printed Rotary Shifter Holder

    For anyone curious about buying a 3D printer - do it. I am blown away by the utility they provide, how easy they are to use (and all the online support) and how unbelievably inexpensive they are. I was fully kitted with a dryer, extra plate, several reels of different types of filament and a...
  13. Stick to Rotary Shift Knob Conversion w/ 3D Printed Rotary Shifter Holder

    What vehicle is that shifter from? I have not dug through the thread about which ones are most compatible but aren’t there some that are more likely to throw this code? To solve it, you may need a different one from a different ford.
  14. Stick to Rotary Shift Knob Conversion w/ 3D Printed Rotary Shifter Holder

    I just canceled my manionmakes order because it took too long and in that time I bought a printer. Last night I did my first test print and holy smokes the k1 max does good work. Looking forward to doing this again with PETG in black or blue.
  15. 2024 Flash Just over 3K and back in the shop again.

    I wish their was resolution to understanding what lead to the failures. Wrong p/n being used, bad batch of parts, out of plumb, bad axle, bad motor… Did the dealership share anything with you on outcome?
  16. Stick to Rotary Shift Knob Conversion w/ 3D Printed Rotary Shifter Holder

    Great thread and thanks to it, I just bought a 3D printer.. awesome. I guess I can cancel my order on the Etsy shop now. :crackup:
  17. Great News..... Sodium Ion Batteries Are Coming

    Just the price of consumer LFP is crazy. 2 years ago I pulled the generator out of my motorhome and replaced it with 600AH of LFP and a 2500watt inverter. That battery bank is comprised of 6 batteries and each was $350. Now I can buy a single 330AH battery for $320 and get more AH in a third...
  18. Great News..... Sodium Ion Batteries Are Coming

    Ditto. Like Fusion - it seems like it's always 5 years away! The only hope I have here is that this isn't some start up that discovered something with no pathway to scale - this is CATL who already has claimed scalability in this solution.
  19. 100,000 miles in 27 months.

    Yup, if you're doing your own deductions. The OP works for Renewal by Anderson (Window installations) and depending on how the person is employed they may have to record this and deduct on their taxes (I did this when I traveled to support a rental property) but currently my employer pays me...
