    Computer questions

    My next computer is going to be another MacBook Pro or a Framework laptop. I’ll build a desktop because I refuse to have a desktop using proprietary parts (DELL!!!!) and can’t be bothered researching individual models to find out if they do or don’t. If I were to today, I’d probably use an Asus...

    MolaKule Q&A on Aircraft Structures VII Engines

    I haven’t yet had the (dis)pleasure of cutting titanium… but inconel fights back. Super tough stuff. Amazing finishes though without polishing!

    Stellantis and horrible public relations

    I’ve heard horror stories as well. They REALLY want the dealers only doing warranty… which is infuriating. My friend had to fight them tooth and nail during the 5.7 hemi Durango/Grand Cherokee water pump years (2011-2017) to approve an aftermarket one when all the Mopar ones were back ordered.

    5.7 Hemi spark plug question

    Pretty much. Technically a fine tip plug, like iridium, requires less voltage to fire, which would reduce stress on the coils leading to a longer life.

    5.7 Hemi spark plug question

    Same coils. Police spec models got iridium plugs while civilian models got copper. Before they switched all them at the factory people who knew and didn’t want to change them every 30k would ask dealers to put the “police package” plugs in. The only reason I used Autolites was because they...

    3/4 Ton Gas vs Diesel vs Tundra

    Potential cam failure just means upgrade and MDS delete time 🤷🏻‍♂️

    5.7 Hemi spark plug question

    A lot of people STILL use them. I was told on a fb group if I put anything than copper plugs into my hemi (2011’s came with copper plugs!) a black hole would open, my hemi would obliterate itself on start up, etc. It ran perfect on auto lite iridium’s.

    Best cell phone carrier for the money?

    Us Mobile. I haven’t noticed any throttling, even at 27gb usage, they do promise 35 “premium” gigs before they may throttle you on my 25/month tier.

    Best White Colored Bulb that's not brighter than factory?

    A standard incandescent 194 bulb is 25 lumens. Now whether or not a company is testing and rating them properly is an entirely different story.

    What Constitutes a true BITOGer

    You cross reference your LAWN MOWER oil filter to a larger one for more capacity… and you run a HDEO in it.

    New to me 5 speed Cobalt coupe

    Update: blower motor failed last night Good news, like the GMT800 I used to drive in my teenage years, the faster you drive the faster air comes through the vents! And it’s only a $100 part.

    2025 CX-5 rental review

    The stereo gets power but I get no sound…. It’s aftermarket but thankfully they didn’t hack the factory harness up. The blower motor failed last night so working AC takes precedence over functioning stereo 😂

    Interesting fluid temp observations on our ‘24 Carnival

    My Ram does something similar, but it uses shutters in front of the radiator. Lightly loaded and just cruising it’ll hold the coolant around 210-212F, put it under load or if it’s like it was today it’ll go down the highway at 203 on the dot, though I presume that’s to cool the condenser more...

    Wife had a mishap today.

    Driving a stolen car to a court house is BOLD.

    King Air sticks the landing…..

    Is that why when I shave I look 12? And when I don’t shave I look 12 but now with a Luke Combs style beard?!

    Ram/Stellantis to announce 10 year/100.000 mile powertrain warranty for 2026 model year.

    They’re offering me 18.6k for my truck. But it’s an undesirable spec only I would want lol. Tradesman, chrome package, cloth seats, no touch screen radio. Basically the work truck you’d buy for your 2nd favorite employee 😂

    Ram/Stellantis to announce 10 year/100.000 mile powertrain warranty for 2026 model year.

    Reason 3: I need to seat 6 people with cargo and I’m not buying a 2nd minivan.

    3/4 Ton Gas vs Diesel vs Tundra

    Couldn’t pay me to take a Tundra. The first and last time I blindly trusted the BITOG collective “TOYOTA OR NOTHING!!!” I ended up stranded on the side of the road 🤷🏻‍♂️ /rant Ram 1500 with the 5.7, find a 1500 Classic. Rides great, great power, ZF8 is bullet proof, camshaft/lifter problem is...
