This will be my last response as we’re completely off topic. 65kw peak, 3.5kw average. 3D Phased Array. No idea. 100k feet, 254NM. L band, 1215-1400mhz. 216 low stack/72 high stack. 2.2 square meter RCS. Theoretically 3000KTAS. All via Google.

It’s only fine if your seals are in good shape. Questionable seals would mandate marine lube in my mind. I beleive ASTM testing for marine lubes is up to 15% water intrusion by volume and still pass. I doubt an automotive gear lube would handle that.

No. Which leaves only one option.

Lots. But surveillance radar isn’t one of them. It has been public knowledge for decades. Seen: none. Reported: A fair amount, but very few that can’t be explained by known phenomena

Enroute air traffic controller for 19 years.

We can get primary (non-transponder) returns from almost any aircraft at 100 miles from the antenna site on ARSR. Even flocks of geese and wind farms. It gets progressively worse further from the antenna site. I think the operational range limit is ~280NM

There is nothing special or classified about ARSR.

I 2nd the advice to max out the HP rating. Not much to go wrong with pontoons except rotted decking.

Tacoma or 4Runner with 4.0

Yes. Multiple vehicles in fact. OEM specified lubricants over OEM specified intervals is all that 99% of engines will ever need. The likelihood of something else taking an engine out in 15 years that’s not lubricant related is exponentially high. That’s why from Pennzoil’s standpoint this is...

I personally would never hook up 7k to this truck. In the same breath I’d never hook up 10k to a 1500 either I towed my fishing boat (about 4k loaded gear & fuel) all over KS and OK. The 3.6/8spd is perfectly paired. Lock it out of 8th and it purs along in 6th and 7th almost intuitively.

The Colorado 3.6/8 speed combo is darn near perfect. I routinely averaged 19.5-20 mixed, has TONS of power for the combo, and tows 7k. It’s the one truck I actually regret selling. I can’t imagine the 2.7 turbo would be desirable here when offered against the 3.6. Thirsty small displacement...

If you were going to have a lifter failure, it would have happened by now or at least be showing signs. While an individual UOA is statistically worthless, it does nevertheless mirror the oft quoted assumption that Hemis love moly.

Somewhere between 32:1 and 50:1 is what I aim for in my equipment with an FD oil and non-ethanol fuel. It smells like a 2-stroke. 🤷🏻‍♂️

It’s even worse than we expected: https://www.foxbusiness.com/technology/nepal-airplane-crash-possibly-caused-pilot-choosing-wrong-lever Left seat flying pilot was a capitan, right seat was an instructor. Instead of selecting flaps 30, they feathered the props.

Amsoil 25w40 or Quicksilver 25w40 blend would be my vote too. If you’re concerned about temps, address the actual cooling components: impeller and thermostats.

Interstate used to be all I used in my marine and RV applications. I noticed the same trend a few years ago. I have a boat cranking battery and an RV deep cycle battery that both expired in under 2 years. So I switched to O’Reilly Auto Super Start batteries = all East Penn products. Been very...

Fire OS is just another AOSP. Android does the exact same thing. Airplane mode does not mean what you think it does. Put an Android phone in airplane mode for 24 hours, then go look at how much of your operating data was still transmitted back to Google servers. We aren’t in control.

I’d argue we’ve seen an unusual amount trainees and brand new certified controllers just up and quit in recent years. Without starting a culture war, there is definitely a generational gap. That being said, I’ve had a few young standout trainees as of recent too.
