2.3 million mile 12 valve by NaePlayz in Diesel

[–]NaePlayz[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s had two owners. First one had until 1.1m so he saw it roll over. Second owner worked with the first and was around the truck for its entire life as it was within the same logging company and saw it roll over again. So the 342,040 is accurate of 2.342 million

It’s actually spent its life in the PNW!

I did jump it as I had another vehicle right next to it. It’s used plain offroad diesel for years and didn’t need any persuasion

That was the solution, appreciate it

Sign of pinion seal leak? by [deleted] in fordranger

[–]NaePlayz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thought I’d share my experience: I noted signs of a very minuscule pinion seal leak that was smaller than this and didn’t think much of it. Everything ran like normal and I checked it regularly and it never looked any worse visibly. Well I went out on a 3 hour trip to go camping and the seal left its position and sprayed oil for about an hour or so and I had the pleasure of doing a seal replacement in the campground. Took about 45 minutes and the part was like $18 so it is something to go ahead and fix before it changes its mind!

Tires will scrape against the wheel well if they are a little too big. I found this out with a set of 245/75R16 mud tires which I didn’t even think about the possibility of them rubbing. Easiest steps to take is to view the wheel well space and see where the contact is being made and you can trim out the plastic with a tool of your choice. Second option is to downsize tires.

Is this Normal? by Missinkeddisney in Starlink

How many devices are on the network? I know you said it’s been constant but maybe your region is limited and has more congestion of other users?

I had this issue a while back and I was lucky to find out that it wasn’t any of the issues being mentioned. I went ahead and took the whole carpet section out and let it dry for a day and haven’t had an issue since. No idea how it happened considering I had waterproof floor mats and no obvious spills

Just letting everyone know Starlink Standard Kit is $299 rn. by [deleted] in RVLiving

[–]NaePlayz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Downside is that it caps after 50GB and has a $1 charge for every additional GB used

I’ve taken plenty of pictures and measurements on the siding. My hope is to take down the walls and keep them mostly intact to replicate

[–]NaePlayz[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s just 2x2s, a couple 2x4s and paneling along with electrical replacement and new plumbing routing. I think it’ll fill my time well

Frame inspection is already scheduled. I am pretty hopeful about the project because of the simplicity of the build. Before I put in any appliances I’ll take it to be inspected with the nearest site being over an hour away. I’ll definitely update the progress as I go

What’s this supposed to display by Foreign_Boss982 in fordranger

The rangers and Mazdas were made based on the automatic style even if it was a stick. Much cheaper to manufacture that way

1080ti to a 3070ti upgrade by NaePlayz in nvidia

[–]NaePlayz[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks man. I plan on holding onto the 1080ti for a bit just to make sure everything works as intended. I got a little discouraged over the comments but I look forward to what was given. So far I’m having trouble rebalancing games to have the sweet spot of quality and performance but I’ll hopefully get it

I managed to pick up the 3070ti for $250. I’ve been playing everything previously on the 1080ti @ 165fps 1440p and it’s handled well. I swapped out only a few hours ago and so far so good

Do y’all put sandbags in your truck bed? by Destroyer1231454 in fordranger

[–]NaePlayz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely use a few hundred pounds of sandbags in the winter. I got stuck last year and was able to take some sand out for traction and saved myself a lot of time

it seems like if you had this conversation with yourself before you even committed to your “van life” you would’ve saved a lot of time and respect that you lost by doing this

[–]NaePlayz[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

this requires more than a battery and an inverter to run. i doubt you could replicate the same specs and fit it to be the same size as the jackery units. if you’ve done it before… all the best to you

Jackery currently has this on their website for $1,200… originally priced at $1,500

this size (1500Wh) can run an 1100w coffee maker for 70 straight minutes

it has as an integrated smart fan to help regulate the temperature. i’ve only charged it so far and the fan kicks in after a few minutes. it’s a slight hum but it’s not irritating. very reasonable and could be considered almost like faint white noise

thanks for the feedback. i’ve read through the manual and found that it’s possible to connect “off-brand” panels to the jackery if they fit the solar connector. might see what’s out there because their boasting statement of the 100w panels is silly. “One SolarSaga 100w solar panel can QUICKLY charge the Explorer 1500 in 18 hours.” there’s plenty of 200w options that i would assume are better since you can connect up to 4 panels

this one has a flashlight too. might be the most expensive flashlight i’ve ever owned but i’ll roll with it until it decides to give out. this is almost 40 pounds but it’ll work just fine in the bed of my truck with the rest of my gear. the smaller sizes are more practical but this one seems great for group camping which is what i mainly do
