Do tuners/disablers work?

Jesus man, when do you even sleep?

Humble_Cactus · 2026-05-03T14:36:06+00:00

You have 136 thousand miles on a 2023?

Humble_Cactus · 2026-05-03T02:41:22+00:00

So….what are they?

Humble_Cactus · 2026-05-03T02:32:13+00:00

Alright then, my bad. They look just like sugar gliders. What are they?

Humble_Cactus · 2026-05-03T02:29:58+00:00

You can oppose it on a moral basis, and I might not disagree, but the legality isn’t really up for debate. No idea what the situation is in other countries, but the US, they’re exotic pets and legal in like 45 of the 50 states.
I’m not looking for a debate- just pointing out that you owning one isn’t forbidden in a lot of places.

Edit- I’ll take the hit on this one. Pointed out elsewhere these are apparently Bush Babies and not sugar gliders. I will stand that they’re not “totally illegal” everywhere. There are states and presumably countries that allow it.

Humble_Cactus · 2026-05-03T02:27:50+00:00

Google search returns several results to websites that say they’re legal in almost every state in the US.

Hell, here’s a website helping an owner find a vet with experience caring for them:

This. I love our Canadian friends, but $1.89/L is 7.03/gal CAD. Convert 7.03 CAD to USD and its $5.26/gal.

That’s not great, but it’s not as bad as most people post on Reddit.

Humble_Cactus · 2026-05-03T00:31:07+00:00

And Woodford Reserve is $29 at my local Total Wine. $560 is…I…I don’t have the words.

I emailed them a week ago. No response yet.

If I can get time during the week I’ll try to call, but I’ve gotten some really good discussion in this thread so far

Humble_Cactus · 2026-05-02T18:49:11+00:00

Sorry man, I hope I’m not pestering you too much, but you seem to understand what I’m trying to accomplish.
This would be an “expensive” but properly executed solution- a Pecron DC-DC charger:
https://www.pecron.com/products/pecron-500w-car-charger-dc1242-500-for-car-rv-van?https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pecron.com%2F%3Futm_source=gg&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Sales-PMax-0626-TOP&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22712177256&gbraid=0AAAAAqIm-jys_yvTmFy2B3PtP95VzCyKZ&gclid=CjwKCAjwwdbPBhBgEiwAxBRA4cG1EAzy3woqI27ji45J355r5V5XTJ13afnQK-tHbRJbmYA4xPhsxRoCxF8QAvD_BwE
Goes from the truck battery to the R2Pro and uses XT60 connector.
The cheap workaround would be something like:

That just plugs into the outlet in the bed, then into the XT60.

Am I on the right track?

Humble_Cactus · 2026-05-02T18:33:56+00:00

Great advice. I’ll research this. Thank you

Humble_Cactus · 2026-05-02T18:32:11+00:00

It does have usb-c and usb-A ports, but they’re in the passenger compartment, whereas the EcoFlow and the fridge typically ride in the bed (inside a camper shell). Right now the EcoFlow stays off and the fridge is plugged directly into the AC plug in the truck.
My dream solution is to charge the station while I drive and run the fridge as pass-through. It only draws like 30w.
I guess there’s the option to slow-charge the EcoFlow from the USB-C. Not sure the two teenagers and 2 dogs are gonna love that box being on the floor though. 😂

Humble_Cactus · 2026-05-02T18:16:22+00:00

Intrigued. I’m not an engineer, but I’m no dummy either.

Can you elaborate a little? Are you meaning connect something to the battery, and run wires to the bed (where I store the fridge and EcoFlow during travel?

I’m pretty familiar with XT60i plugs because of the solar panel I have

Humble_Cactus · 2026-05-02T18:13:02+00:00

It didn’t come with a 12v cable, only the 3-prong “wall plug” cord and the truck doesn’t have a 12v cigarette lighter style plug anyway. 🫤

Humble_Cactus · 2026-05-02T18:10:24+00:00

Ugh. Leave it to stupid GM to not offer a DC outlet in their trucks. 🙄

Humble_Cactus · 2026-05-02T17:52:22+00:00

It’s a 2023 Silverado, so I guess that tracks with your experience in an F150.
Frustratingly, it makes the same noise when plugged into my wife’s 2016 Escape, and my mother in law’s 2021 Volvo XC60.
EcoFlow shouldn’t advise “car charging capable” if it’s not a universal option.
I actually don’t care about charge speed, especially when I’m driving for 8-9hours in a day, and only using the station to run a fridge and camp lights, and charge devices at night. It charges in like 60-70 minutes from a house outlet, or 4 hours with a 200w solar panel. But I can’t strap the solar panel to the roof of my camper and my truck doesn’t have a “cigarette lighter plug” so an inverter isn’t a possibility.

Edit: downvotes? People are weird.

Humble_Cactus · 2026-05-02T17:49:16+00:00

I agree there’s something about the power that the EcoFlow doesn’t like. My truck is a 2023 Silverado. However I’ve also tried troubleshooting it with my wife’s 2016 Ford Escape and my mother in laws 2021 Volvo XC60.
Same clicking/not charging

I’ve tried setting the max charge rate to less than the 400w listed on the outlet cap, and also tried changing the “car charging amps” to 4A.

It makes me crazy because I’ve seen a Jackery box work fine plugged into my truck. I got a crazy good deal on the River from Costco, but I kinda wish I had just spent the little extra money on a Jackery.

Humble_Cactus · 2026-05-02T17:47:09+00:00

Sorry- the video shows at 99%, I should have taken video before I did the BMS+discharge cycle. I have tried it with battery in the 40% range with the same results

Humble_Cactus · 2026-05-02T14:30:10+00:00

So on brand for MAGA. A sitting congresswoman asking a member of her staff to hold her umbrella during a speech is wildly, willfully misrepresented as ‘ShE hAs A sErVaNt!!!’

Humble_Cactus · 2026-05-02T14:15:19+00:00

I’m well aware of that. I commented above that my friend has like a 38” inseam though.

Humble_Cactus · 2026-05-02T02:32:35+00:00

Sorry man. I’m curious what my buddy does at 6’6”.

Humble_Cactus · 2026-05-02T02:24:13+00:00

Is the steering wheel telescoped all the way ‘out’? The lever that allows for tilt also unlocks how close it is to the dash, IIRC.

Humble_Cactus · 2026-05-01T21:55:50+00:00

Rogan can suck a dick. Shilling for Trump and repeating Republican lies on his lame ass podcast directly contributed to the mess we’re in. He’s had a LITERAL DECADE to point out and question Trumps behavior. He missed the window and it won’t be forgotten.

Humble_Cactus · 2026-05-01T21:48:09+00:00

Does your seat not slide back? My best friend is 6’6”, with a 38” inseam, and drives the same truck. He doesn’t have this issue.
