What’s in a knock off lunch and how much did it cost? Inquiring minds want to know?

It was a typo - should be 3600rpm. A 2 pole generator at 3600 is 60Hz AC power - well alternator I guess right? So while it might still be running through the inverters coils there is little or no frequency to invert. Maybe cleans it up? The Honda 212 and clones are typically governed at 3800...

Most violent crime is either gang/drug related or someone you know. It’s also often concentrated, like Oakland or South Side of Chicago. So even looking at state level is a false straw man, IMHO. Just pick a good neighborhood.

You should look at the manual before buying an inverter for the max draw under “eco” mode, which is when the inverter is actually working. When you exceed that they revert to a standard generator running at 3000rpm negating any fuel savings. My cheap WEN is at 60% of its 3500W constant rating...

Or I could simply read the manual and DIY. Or ask the Toyota technicians on this board. Novel concept I know.

If he gets the basics I already know wrong, then why should anyone trust his other stuff there not sure about? That’s the point.

I have run 16, 20 and 30 weights in mine. I am sure there all fine. But that’s not the point, or his only error.

How does the 5w-30 or 0w-16 know what engine it’s in and control its own viscosity somehow? Car care nut has gotten basic things wrong that are documented directly in the service manual - like exactly what the control algorithm does. Toyota club did a deep dive on it also directly with...

Where are you located? I am coming there to buy a truck. Honestly buy the one in the best condition. They all look good.

Yes but he says stuff like you must use 0w-16 because Toyota engineered the engine to only work on that. When 5 minutes of research tells you that’s patently incorrect. Then he portrays himself as the expert on these same things. I have no problem with opinions or speculation but that’s not...

Because when he says things that we know as being patently false - like the oil - we have to wonder about everything he says. He is just a YouTube click baiter like the rest in the end - portraying himself as the expert on everything.

I would use it. Dad put a lot of miles on a 71 302 in a F100 when I was a little kid. Worked it hard, hauling too much pulling too much. Never had an oil problem with whatever oil they were selling in the 80’s and 90s. I think it got parked when I was in college in the mid 90s because it finally...

Yes but they often don’t make it to N America.

The big problem is the younger generations don’t care about pro sports. So as the current generation of sports fans pass on there will be no one to go anyway. https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2024/01/07/gen-z-disinterested-sports-nfl-college-football-championship/72117123007/

My uneducated guess is the gasket - which has too small of mating area with the block by design, begins to leak and when it does pressure from the piston prevents coolant flow and the block over heats in that area. Which likely is why the block cracks at that point. Again - complete guess...
