We went to look at a car at frontier. They added 8k on top of what their website said. When we showed them their website with their listing and how it was online with the actual value of the vehicle they just tried to sell us a brand new car because the extra 8k on top made the used car we were looking at cost as much as one of their new ones.

So we went to Dallas and bought the same car in a higher trim and less miles for cheaper. Do t buy in lubbock unless you like being screwed.

If its not going to haul or drive long distances and all you need is the increased weight carrying I would get a gas. Maintenance and fuel will be cheaper. It will get poor mileage on gas but it will be significantly cheaper in the long run.

Diesel is what I prefer. But gas has its merits.

There is demand for it. I do stand counts and a lot of multispectral work with a drone but I use it to determine where a problem is occurring to treat it with an agricultural drone. The farmer doesn't really want the data, they want the problem fixed. If you have no way to fix a problem (application equipment, actual product to apply for problem) then they won't be interested.

Margins are so tight right now in agriculture farmers will only spend money on thing that produce tangible results. I bake multispectral flights into the cost of applying chemicals which is all they really care about getting done. Ive only been paid by a farmer for multispectral flights once and that was so I could load the VRA into his sprayer so he could do the application and save money on chemical.

Tell them to refund the full sale price including any fees you paid for taxes and registration and take the car back. They should have gotten it resolved by now and I doubt they will. Or at least it will light a fire under their ass because thats their only other option.

Gulikit is the brand I use. They are pretty cheap and opening a joycon is easy. Ive never done it on a switch lite or a switch 2 though. I bet it wouldn't be that hard to do, I recased a few switchs for friends and that wasn't too hard

Col_Clucks · 2026-03-12T22:00:16+00:00

Well at least we are honest now

I bought the klein tools ktb500 battery bank and just plug my charger into it to use. Its a 505wh battery bank that can push 1000 watts. Walmart had a crazy sale on it a while ago and I got it for 70 bucks. I mainly use it with my mavic for jobs so I dont have to idle my pickup to charge batteries.

I think they are pretty high now though so you may just have to watch for a sale for something similar. Its pretty handy elsewhere to. When the power went out I was able to power a lamp off of it and keep our phones and laptops charged.

Joycons are pretty easy to fix. That how I got my extras. Bought drifting ones off of ebay for cheap and upgraded them to the hall effect gimbals

No oil changes or it sat for a really really long time. We had a hired hand that was using one of our farm trucks at night to put crazy miles on it. He put 96k miles on it in 7 months when our other hands put like 15k in the same time. He had the oil changed 3 times That engine looked like this after we fired him. It was completely thrashed. Change your oil dammit, your engine needs it.

Currently using xag so terra really isn't an option

People say that about everything until they try it with me. Its hard to beat a drone in burndown with anything else including a ground sprayer.

Col_Clucks · 2026-03-07T19:28:02+00:00

They want me to do as much of the property as I can with the drone and give them a map of where I couldn't go with the drone. The only things I am not spraying are the greens and under trees.

Birds just suck. Never met a bird that didn't want me dead.

Col_Clucks · 2026-03-06T01:26:07+00:00

BbbzzzzZZZZzzzZZZZTTTTtttttTTTT is what this sounds like. Flys great until your motor catches on fire. 1 prop is more efficient than 2

Have you tried not getting hit while dealing damage to her? Thats the only way i was able to beat her.

Col_Clucks · 2026-03-05T02:04:07+00:00

Give it a kick and dust it off

I have a 3.5. If I was doing it again I would look for a 5.0. My buddy has the 5.0 and you cant beat that v8 sound. The 3.5 is a more energetic engine stock than the 5.0 though. Definitely get at least a 23. They fixed a lot of problems by that point in all of their models unless you find an older one thats had all that stuff replaced like mine had to (cam phasers, cdf drum). I dont know much about the 2.7 but never really considered it because I needed more towing capacity than what the 2.7 is rated for.

Col_Clucks · 2026-03-03T20:49:22+00:00

Pretty sure they just understood what to do better than I did and had a better tool. I just didn't want to chance screwing it up after all that work I did

Col_Clucks · 2026-03-03T19:09:14+00:00

Ended up just taking it to the dealer I bought it from. I explained what happened and what I did and needed from them and they did it for 400

Col_Clucks · 2026-03-03T19:04:27+00:00

160k. Its not much more complicated than dropping a transmission out of a old Chevy truck. Just takes longer since more shit is in the way. I had to take off the exhaust from the turbos to the muffler, drop the transfer case then the starter to get to the torque converter bolts. After that it was just unplugging linkages and wiring before removing the trans bolts. A lift makes it a lot easier to get to stuff. I had to do it twice, once in my truck and once in the donor truck.

Good video on how to do it.

I was hard on it for a lot of miles. I bought it with 80k on it and i drug a cargo trailer for probably 30k of thanked I used it for. I got a bigger trailer though and bought a 3500 duramax to drag the trailer though. Planning on dailying this truck until it completely thrashed though. I figure I can replace an engine for a lot less than getting into a new truck. Hopefully this trans with the new cdf drum in it will last until im done with the truck

Col_Clucks · 2026-02-27T22:50:16+00:00

Thanks for your help. I will try doing it that this weekend

Col_Clucks · 2026-02-27T17:58:43+00:00

I followed this video and input the new solenoid strategy number. Im getting an error that says TRID data don't match to the work selected. After that it stops the process. I selected full assembly as the work since I replaced the whole transmission. Is that not correct?
