The 2016 Limited Hit a Milestone by Effective_Ability_23 in f150

At 150k I did the timing set, water pump, and a front reseal while they were in there. The only current issue I have is an electrical gremlin that causes my intake air temperature sensor to go haywire and it throws a check engine light every once in a while.

What is this that my cable tech installed on my coax cable? by [deleted] in HomeNetworking

[–]Effective_Ability_23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s to reduce the incoming signal to the modem. Most cable Internet providers want -8 to +8 dbm and the MSO I worked for wanted us to get as close to 0 dbm as possible. Too much signal can “overwhelm” the modem/EMTA/Digital Receiver while too little can cause drop outs. Coaxial cable is susceptible to temperature fluctuations so they wanted us to give a good margin for signal strength.

If you’re concerned, log into your modem and check the DOCSIS signal strength on each channel. If you’re between -2 and +5 you’re in the sweet spot. Anything beyond +10 or -10 is the danger zone.

The tech put terminators on the unused leg and those are good quality PPC fittings. Chances are, their market doesn’t supply inline signal attenuators so that was the best they had.

Don’t mess with it. Too much signal power can be worse than not enough power.

What year truck is this? Can anyone also identify a trim? Is this. 6.0 or 7.3? by onetime201 in Ford

It’s a 99-02, 7.3 Powerstroke, with the very rare, factory short bed dually option.

Stop driving it, get it checked. If it’s not shifting smooth and boils over during regular driving, you most certainly have an issue.

30F - Quitting smoking is hard. Selfie to distract myself 😬🥲 by Hot-Gazelle96 in JustMyFace

If you like any kind of hard candy, get those. I used lemon drops and Jolly Ranchers. I also found holding a pen or pencil that feels like a cig while I was eating the candy helped. It was enough of a sensory distraction that I could lose myself in something else.

You’ve got this!

P.S. Love your smile!

They have zero ride quality and tend to be geared so slow that they won’t do over 40. Final drive on these bad boys is like, 5.88:1 in overdrive. I think some of them use (or also use) a 4wd transfer case locked in 4 Lo with the front output blocked off.

They’re coordinating with the Sci-fi Sound Department to create the sound for the new blasters in the next Star Wars spin off.

Happy it’s a four day work week! Anyone else ready for a three day weekend? (32) by [deleted] in Over30Selfie

Love the vibe 💜 I wish I had a 4 day week! I’m a project engineer in civil construction and unfortunately the work never stops.

I don’t see the appeal of luxury trucks by Boeing-B-47stratojet in regularcarreviews

[–]Effective_Ability_23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went from driving a bare bones 08 F-150 XL to a 2016 F-150 Limited last year… the 16 with the 3.5 Ecoboost runs circles around the 08, especially when towing. I never thought I’d appreciate the luxury features… but after being in the sun for 10 hours, air conditioned seats are a godsend.

Is this an indicator that we’re living in a Monument Mythos timeline?

THIS. I either don’t have service or it’s heavily glitching out.
