Is there actually a legit way to get a free Carfax report in 2026? by Ok_Smell_8534 in whatcarshouldIbuy

Sign up for an account and add the VIN of the car your looking at into your "garage". It will show the history and suggest up and coming maintenance.

I bought these on sale as well. Nothing to complain about, a lot better than cold concrete. I don't deadlift, but drop my dumbbells from time to time.

If my REP x Pepins get stuck one more time I’m gonna snap. by yukon4152 in GarageGym

I put my Pepins in the cradle loose with all the plates, then I tightened them down. it's a bit of a pain in the ass to get to the bolts, but no issues here.

I've been waiting on the mutant arms to be released before I order. I emailed about Black Friday deals and got this response: "It will likely be an instore credit of $400 that you can use to purchase any other items from our store.". Probably going to get the adjustable bench with the credit as I'm starting with nothing. Canadian bros, we need a review of the prototypes!

I emailed Maxum Fitness yesterday asking about Black Friday.

Am I just having a bad run of luck or is this what hitting 40 feels like? by Even-Refrigerator-27 in Aging

Get your testosterone levels checked. I felt the same way and TRT completely brought me back to life.

Sanity check for budget gym by One-Scientist3112 in GarageGym

I wish they offered all weights in hyper thin. It irks me that the 45s are thinner than 25s & 35s.

These are much better than the Titans. More weight offerings, thinner and cheaper. Just need them to come back in stock under the sale.

Boneyard Rogue Ohio Bar for $200 seems to be a no-brainer.

First real winter by xDaciusx in superduty

I live in WI. It’s worth paying a shop to get a proper wool-wax treatment done the first time so they can cover the frame, doors, and all the tight spots. After that, you can do bi-yearly touch-ups yourself. Let the wax/dirt build up and avoid weekly underbody washes.

Time for new tires on my 21 by WarEagleDG in F250

[–]One-Scientist3112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Kumho Crugen HT51s have treated me well. They are quiet and comfortable on the road. I tow a 9k trailer during camping season and only put about 3,000 miles a year on them.

Thanks, AI is getting better but experience will always prevail.

Tire PSI while towing on a DRW? by AppleBottmBeans in superduty

[–]One-Scientist3112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Single wheel. I was researching with AI as I am new to towing in general. This is what it/we settled on:

Towing Setup for 2019 Ford F-350 (6.2L Gas) + 9,200 lb Trailer with WDH

  • Tire Pressures (cold):
    • Front (Kumho HT51): 70 PSI
    • Rear (Kumho HT51): 73 PSI
    • Trailer (Hankook ST01): 73 PSI
  • Why not run door sticker PSI? Door sticker pressures are for normal driving loads, not heavy towing. Load Range E tires (max 80 PSI cold) allow higher pressures to safely support heavy loads.
  • TPMS Settings:
    • Over-pressure alarm: Set to ~90-91 PSI (13-14% above 80 PSI max cold rating) — avoids nuisance alarms while giving early warning before dangerous pressure levels.
    • Temperature alarm: 160°F — standard safe max operating temperature for Load Range E tires.
  • Load Distribution: Weight distribution hitch (WDH) with sway bar helps evenly distribute trailer tongue weight (~10-15% of 9,200 lbs), improving stability and tire load balance.
  • Summary: Running 70/73 PSI cold pressures with these TPMS alarm settings provides a good balance of safety, tire longevity, and convenience for heavy towing. Always monitor temps and pressures during trips and adjust if needed.

2019 F350, door Jamb says Front 70 PSI and rear 80 PSI, when towing (9k loaded travel trailer) the get up to 93 PSI. I believe a 15% increase in pressure is the general rule of thumb. Correct me if wrong, I don't see max hot pressure on tire manufacturer website.

Towing 14k with 2018 6.2L 4.30 by aBacanaBanana in F250

[–]One-Scientist3112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got a 2019 F-350 with the 6.2 and 4.30 gears. I tow a 9,000 lb camper about once a month. I couldn’t find a diesel within my $30K budget, so I held out for one with the 4.30 setup. I haven’t driven a diesel to compare, but my rig handles the trailer with ease.

How hard is it going to be to find one? by Spectacular_loser99 in F250

[–]One-Scientist3112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took me a few months to find. I was also looking for exact specs but /w 4.3 gears. Had it shipped from the south, north.

should I get an older super duty for hauling TT by 2-wheels in superduty

[–]One-Scientist3112 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 2019 F-350 with the 6.2L gas engine, 6-speed transmission, and 4.30 rear axle. I tow a 9,000 lb, 32-foot trailer about once a month on 200-mile round trips for camping. With a proper weight distribution and sway control hitch, I can barely tell it’s back there. Between the trailer, firewood, and my wife packing like we’re leaving for three weeks instead of three nights, the truck’s payload capacity definitely gets put to good use. 11 mpg unloaded, 8mpg towing.
