I haven't had an AFib episode in two years. Had it since I was 19 and I'm 46 now. Forgot which med (started with an F?) my cardiologist gave me but it was only for when I went into AFib and it was needed so infrequently its long expired. I can feel when I'm on the edge of it so I just take it...

oh hey another person with good cardiovascular I have AFib so I am used to tracking it mine this week has been 54bpm but I'm a good 30lbs overweight at the moment lol. Normally its in the low 40s but dips into the 30s when I'm in bed or laying on the couch I walk my dogs while wearing a...

I have seen inconsistent results from people bypassing the sensor on stock setups. Usually puts voltage at 13.8 at the battery which is not enough to keep any battery truly charged. my 05' Xterra uses the same smart charging system. using 100% stock wiring (nothing grounded directly to the...

your charger is fine for topping off and maintaining AGM batteries but will work very slowly if it gets deeply discharged is all prolly stop overthinking things lol

haven't worked on a modern Ford aside from a 2003 Focus ("modern" kek) so I cannot speak on the F-150 but can tell you I've seen a fair bit of stock headlights barely getting 13 volts at the connector which drastically cuts the output on halogen bulbs. They probably use 16 awg wire with not...

I think a lot of people (especially the old timers on this board) have uncorrected astigmatism lol between that and the fact pretty much nobody bothers to adjust their headlights they just assume everything is LED bulbs fault I also think most people complaining about their stock halogen set...

Bronners is another great innawoods soap but is special tier powerful stuff, especially the peppermint ones while the almond seems a bit tamer as far as soap scum I have found that the older bar soap is the more likely its going to leave something behind. Zote is only good for about 6 months...

I use Dial and sometimes Irish spring bar soap with a rough sponge (sourced foam from a couch cushion) for showers and scrubbing my face. the days I wear scents I go with gold bar Dial BUT I have gotten surprisingly good results from Axe Dark Temptation body wash which is kind of a peppery dark...

my boy watches TV very intently which is both good and bad When he was a puppy he got scared of Godzilla and hid behind the couch and would sneak a peek at the TV the same way a kid does when they watch a scary movie. As he got older he stopped hiding and would (and still to this day) react at...

I'm not familiar with Fords as I am mid 60's GM and Nissans but I do know there are a lot of vehicles on the road with voltage drop issues at the headlights. Installing a relay (if not equipped) with a 12 awg lead at the battery and adding another ground wire can do wonders on a stock halogen...

I have never had LED headlights nor do I plan to make the switch but.... that post is near a decade old and LED bulbs are not built the same way as they used to be. There are sites and YouTube channels dedicated to in depth reviewing that break it down in an easily digestible way. I've seen...

you are now aware of the only soap suitable for removing stains from clothes, degreasing hands after a day of wrenching is better than any dishwashing liquid you ever used (squeak clean dishes and even removes fatty tomato stains from plastic) AND is all natural biodegradable so its safe around...

about a dozen dogs have used a 25 year old 3qt stainless steel mixing bowl. Currently have to change out the water twice a day because both of my guys like to stick a good chunk of their muzzles in the water making it get gross oh and the old bowl still looks fairly new and if I stuck it back...

I do not know if the Titans programming is the same as the one on my Xterra but I do know that disconnecting the sensor on mine puts the system in a dumb safe mode that locks it at 13.8-13.9v. Another related problem is when people connect accessories like winches, lights, CB etc. directly to...

fwiw the Wal-Mart battery finder says the same thing about my 05' Xterra and my 04' Armada (recommends AGM) but not any other car or truck I've ever owned. They do not have stop start but they do have Nissans smart alternator which has the battery constantly getting drained to somewhere around...

vehicles are like anything else really whether its watches, motorcycles, knives, or guns....aesthetics matter not looking like a goober or somebody's mom matters having a solid function to form ratio is good design but full size trucks are not the big sellers they are because they are cooler...

I bet it's due to Nissans "smart" alternator implementation which is not exactly an ideal use case for a traditional flooded battery. EFB are a cost savings at the macro level for a automaker compared to an AGM but that's it. just a half measure to shave another $15-20 per unit when an AGM is...

speaking of water filters... what do you guys think of those homemade terra cotta pot filters? I wonder what they do and do not filter out of the water?
