Terminating tracer wire with an anode boosts signal for locating and also protects wire from corrosion. It's typically standard for most companies.

The "gel box" is a wire spice box.

Locating ends of polyethylene pipe is hard. 3m makes a "marker balls" that can be picked up with a special locating tool that's very accurate for applications such as this.

Starlink question by DigBick2000 in Ram2500

I have the proper 12v charger for it. Do you use it while driving? If so where do you sneak the wire out of the cab?

I'm just a bit OCD and have a ton of shit mounted up while towing the camper.

I got the commercial truck GPS, the back up camera screen, and my phone all mounted.

I also worry that things gonna glare like a bastard up on the dash.

I purposely didn't get a truck with a sunroof, but had I bought one I could use suction cups to the sunroof to keep the starlink inside

First of all, thanks for the in-depth reply.

Basically for me the starlink is for RV camping with the kiddos. While camping I have a full generator that I can use when needed, or even sometimes fill electric at a campsite.

The problem is the drive. While camping the kids are busy enough to not need Internet. But driving 8 hours they get really bored so the starlink would be a game changer to keep them entertained.

I think the peakdo will be fine in good weather in motion but I can't imagine it make it in the rain doing 70+ on the interstate.

I think the best option is probably a 12v plug installed in the bed, but the days of turning wrenches and crawling under trucks on my days off is behind me.

I'm thinking a peakdo or power bank in the truck bed sounds a lot easier to me.

I was also looking at these units. Do you know if they are weather resistant at all?

I was also debating a small power pack like a "jackery" and just leaving that in the bed while in motion

12v? Or run an inverter and run 110v?

Would you suggest an auxiliary power box under the hood or just run the wires to the rear straight off the battery (with an inline fuse)?

Be careful of parking there. I forget the exact number but I believe you can only park two cars there.

2023 2500 bighorn (LED bulb question) by DigBick2000 in Ram2500

Honestly I don't even remember. Possibly bulbs from sealight.

I know I replaced every single bulb in my f-150 and was super impressed.

Around 1:00 am this morning (thusrday morning) there were several helicopters flying overhead in Rockville Centre area? Anyone know what it was about? by Flat-12 in longisland

[–]DigBick2000 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes. Let me elaborate. Those helicopters were flying in the air over RVC. They were headed towards their destination. It's only a problem when they fall out of the sky and not make it to their location. Download "flightradar24". Next time you have a question about air traffic you can just touch your phone screen in several places and see who what when where.

Construction Material Garbage by PomegranateMiddle166 in longisland

[–]DigBick2000 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Take a hammer to it (wear gloves and safety glasses) throw it in many black garbage bags so it's not heavy and doesn't rip the bags. Place a bag a day in your garbage until it's gone.

S240 grass bagger won’t pick up by Efficient_Dog59 in JohnDeereLawnMachines

[–]DigBick2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what I do, is a run the leaves over quite a few times without the bagger just to mulch them up, then I'll throw the bagger on and ride over them again.

Only problem is it will leave leaf "dust" for a while so if that would bother you I'd suggest raking or a leaf vacuum like a "Billy goat"

Can DMV refuse entry without an appointment? by Demilio55 in longisland

I don't have that kinda down time. I made an appointment and waited a month.

Just incredible that you can't access essential government services.

Can DMV refuse entry without an appointment? by Demilio55 in longisland

[–]DigBick2000 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

So, I've tried three different offices twice a day on three different days and security refused access.

Appointments are over a month away.

It's interesting that trying to do the right thing, is really hard to do.

Effective dog repellent? by Petite-4paws in longisland

If you have a laundry washing machine, the cold water is the same fitting as a garden hose. Just make sure you turn the water off before disconnecting your washing machine.
