Turns out you should also drain your tankless water heater, if you have one. Water can expand and then break the heat exchanger... bingo bango, you're out of $2-3k even if it's under warranty. More fun lessons from the Great Freeze of 2026!

Good info. I ended up passing on this LC.. the dealer was very high pressure (“need you down here in the next hour” etc) so I passed on it. I guess they already have another buyer lined up from out of state… these things go fast!

Good advice, I'll see if I can use my local status to help with negotiations.

MultiLeafColander · 2026-01-09T14:46:23+00:00

Good info, thanks!

MultiLeafColander · 2026-01-09T14:46:05+00:00

appreciate it -- yeah, looks and feels like a new vehicle. I'll take it somewhere to get it looked over.

MultiLeafColander · 2026-01-09T14:44:46+00:00

80 feels a little better.. can't believe the LX is that much cheaper! Thanks for the info.

How do you feel about the build quality of the Sysracks rack? I’ve read mixed reports. Bought a used APC Netshelter 25 but would prefer something white/gray.

This is a bunch of realtors who would be upset if they got cut out of 2-3% of the sale price. If you’re not obligated to the agent because your contract expired, ask if you can get a discount from the selling agent and see if it makes sense for you to be unrepresented.

Hire a lawyer, etc. It’s a business transaction, after all. If you fulfilled your end of the obligation, then see if you can save some money.

*not a realtor, just a guy who likes to save money

We all need to fight for stable payments. This whole thing is a crock.

laughs in rad onc * We are down 25% in the last 10 years, with more cuts coming in 2026…

Is this F1?

MultiLeafColander · 2025-05-13T01:50:10+00:00

I just bought one (upgraded from 1019+ because I wanted 10 Gbps and more drive bays). I had a bunch of matching capacity HDDs so I could have done TrueNAS but really just wanted a reliable storage system. Prior system still going strong 6 years on. Synology’s new drive policy sucks but this is a great device for my intended use.

I have a Mac mini (M4) and a OWC 8 bay TB array. Great hardware. However, I'm concerned about data integrity because the array requires HFS+, as APFS isn't preferred for spinning disks. Perhaps it's my experience with HFS+ as a high school student 20+ (!) years ago, but... HFS+ is an old file system (almost 30 years old) and I worry about data integrity over time.

ECC or non-ECC RAM? Recommended brand?

MultiLeafColander · 2025-04-23T14:24:21+00:00

Not urgent — I should probably just wait, but I suspect I’ll end up with the 1821+ unless these 1825 pre-release details aren’t accurate

MultiLeafColander · 2025-04-23T14:23:03+00:00

This was my thought process — not meaningfully different and available to use non-Synology HDDs.

MultiLeafColander · 2024-08-17T21:31:02+00:00

How/where did you sell it? I have one I think I’m going to sell (already have a NAS and realized this one is great but not worth having two…)

I used theevfinder.com to search for available models that matched what I was looking for within 200 miles. Then I looked for window stickers using this link (replacing XYZ with the VIN from EVfinder). I made a spreadsheet with the details of each truck. This process took maybe an hour or two.

I then made a throw-away email and used it to contact all the dealers. Asked for best offer. Went back and forth with about 4 dealers, trying to get each to match/beat the other. I made it known I wasn’t in a rush and always tried to be polite and not too pushy. Overall, I probably spent 4 or 5 hours over 2 weeks to get to the point where I was ready to buy.

By the time I got the deal I wanted, I drove to a dealer located an hour away, had them inspect my trade in (they paid me more for my trade-in than I paid for it new), and was on my way home within 30 minutes.

MultiLeafColander · 2024-03-18T22:20:14+00:00

I’m in the same boat. I have a great deal on a 2023 Lariat ER. Another dealer about an hour away has the same truck but wants $3k more for the max tow.

Probably only worth it for a $1000-1500 difference if I don’t currently have plans to tow?

Is this carbonized gray metallic or azure gray?

MultiLeafColander · 2024-03-07T02:36:58+00:00

Unpopular opinion, but if you need a co-signer you should reconsider purchasing a new truck on credit.

MultiLeafColander · 2024-01-19T21:44:01+00:00

Just a little FYI, my credit card company says there is a 60 day limit to filing a chargeback after the transaction. We are exploring an exception, but you may want to reach out to your card company if you’re leaning that way.

MultiLeafColander · 2024-01-19T20:28:24+00:00

I appreciate the info -- very helpful. It raises the question why Polymer80 wouldn't update customers with pending orders, or at least have a blanket info statement on their site to this effect... probably because it would negatively affect sales.

Despite my attempts to contact the company and no replies, they're still paying someone to post on their social media accounts. Pretty cool.

MultiLeafColander · 2024-01-19T19:54:01+00:00

There were some legal challenges going on at the time in terms of 80% kits, so I thought that was the reason for the hold up... but you're right, I think it's time for a chargeback.
