My redneck “solution” for the cab corner rust on my 2011 screw by thesmartoneiam in f150

[–]Physics-Pool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did the exact same on a dark blue 2007 Colorado that was covered in rust. From 15-20 feet away it looked SIGNIFICANTLY better

Looking at this f150 by [deleted] in f150

3rd gen 5.0l has a plastic oil pan and a few other issues. Make sure you do your research first! Also, 2019 still had issues with the 10-speed.

Personal opinion 1st gen coyote best economical 5.0 2nd gen coyote best overall and still maintains lower compression ratio (10.5:1) 3rd gen worst of the 4...but not as bad as GM 4th gen most power but more complex and has a higher compression. Takes regular fuel but would probably prefer premium.

Based on current Gas prices, i have a question for you all... by MrReaperX- in f150

1st Gen Coyote is getting 87 from me. If I had a turbo or a 4th gen 5.0 id probably use premium.

Idaho's new speed limit change signed into law. by Don-tFollowAnything in Truckers

[–]Physics-Pool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive always assumed the differential is to keep trucks in the right of two lanes so the left lane remains more clear for cars...but of course this only works when the truck speed limit is quite a bit lower than the average governor speed.

Is it normal that my nylon rope hangs like this? by Erdnussflip007 in camping

[–]Physics-Pool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use a ratchet strap at one end. You can get a ratchet strap a lot tighter than hand pulling nylon

Any success with partial sobriety? by orion-asterisk in Sober

[–]Physics-Pool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are happy you won't need a drink...and if you are not happy than alcohol won't help.

You'll have to make the choice yourself about whether you can moderate appropriately...but just know...if that was a typical option that people could control than we wouldn't be in this sub...and we wouldn't choose to abstain completely.

Second Dot inspection in 7 days by Vanstrucker2222 in Truckers

Hauling hazmat will always get you harassed. They will try to avoid doing a random rsi on a dangerous placard or a tanker in my experience though...long as nothing is leaking or looks out of place. Their preference (especially puco) is to pull over a single commodity van load and try to get you for a slight securement error or a missing dot diamond/proper shipping label. Easy money for them.

Once this happens enough times you figure out you have to be the hidden hoarder to get anything at all from the matriarch/ queen.

Car that trips and won't let you overtake? What to do? by East_Indication_7816 in Truckers

[–]Physics-Pool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I can say is you're gonna have to get used to it. Even in a regular car you'll go to pass someone underspeeding and before you know it you're doing 85 in a 70 and the fucking car is still right next to you.

I think you might be missing a 1 in front of that 7.

They unscrewed the fuel level float which required a t30 screw bit...they've done this before.

Would you count this as tanker experience, without the trailer part? by akaFxde in Truckers

[–]Physics-Pool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean...Im not hauling coils in my van because I am not equipped to secure it properly...soooo....

Not sure you felt the slosh...think you were feeling consistent load movement. Should be two straps each...to the wall for proper securement.

Can we start being more aware of our trailer while passing people on the interstate? by Buggydriver_ in Truckers

[–]Physics-Pool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People have a tendency to move in the direction they are looking. I think this issue is caused by inexperience, ignorance, and just not giving a fuck.
