My experience on land and sea is fantastic. I'm at <I think> 16 years on my truck battery? Maybe longer. I killed two of them in my sand car (my fault) that were 2016's and my replacements weighed exactly the same. I know they diversified their product line and I suspect the "new" stuff is...

Well that wasn't fun. I hate having to fix work I paid "professionals" for. Looks like a quality fix. Thanks for the sharing. Looks like your Makita kit was by your side.

It's cool that you get it broken out for you - some readouts will simply give a % to HVAC. Going to spend some time absorbing that site. I get the sense it's off a bit in some places from what I see from Out of Spec and Bjorn, but thats just cursory. Ive only started checking it out, It isnt...

Relationships. Love em.

That site is interesting. Where does it collect its data from? It's got interesting variability sliders on it for things like HVAC Kwh. I'm unsure how one would estimate that beforehand, but it's cool no doubt. I'm guessing it assumes all cars only charge to the max capability of the car...

The battery size, along with efficiency seems to matter more than merely possessing 800 volt architecture. This is why Teslas very efficient 400V cars typically deliver faster roadtrip times than the 800 V Hyundais using similar sized batteries. Agreed on the gravity being the best of...

He could totally do it if he wanted to. I figured you and most know how that works but some don't. Leave it to a guy thats never used a truck to design one.......

Not without completely restructuring the rest of the frame.

Sweet! Guys that want to drop 136K+ can get a really awesome curve. Interesting they used NACS to do it.

Pretty much. Yet so many people make declarative statements without showing their math.

4445LB AWD, 278HP mid sized pick up truck with a 5000LB tow rating. Between 65 and 70 the whole way. I was picking up a used spotting scope bought from craigslist that morning and limited myself to a max of 4 over. Not econo/penalty box mileage, but really solid for a vehicle with this...

It's 150 hours on a 20KW generator. Not small it's a 1000 on natural gas.

These guys math.

Yeah it didnt seem to be an issue in as far as I could see either, but it sure isn't long term "feel good" design in any way shape for form.

Valve deposits can be largely mitigated by adjusting the injector location and spray pattern. Honda designed their setup to be able to wash the valves down from time to time, Id imagine Ford can mitigate the issue much the same way.

Cars and oil are intertwined. BITOG is unique place for guys that both observe and capture data using the findings to challenge or affirm the automotive status quo on intervals and formulations. The same guys that have data driven approaches to this topic often provide valuable insight and...

How many hours would you guess is on this?

I've been traveling the duration of this thread and it's hard to do a decent job with thorough replies, but I wanted to touch on the first part of this for a second. Lawrence Berkeley Labs is not Berkeley University. I'd agree Berkeley University is hugely political, but Lawrence is not. It's...

Guessing you don't have nat gas? Are you powering the WHG with propane? I intentionally architected my high load appliances like the water heater, stove/cooktop/ and dryer away from electricity to natural gas so I can cover with a whole house generator. That electric water heater is a brutal...

Out of bounds for sure.
