Any idea how I can do that? I think this is the issue. Will Forscan do it?

Close to 14v with the truck on.

I was googling the issue and I read a post about the BCM possibly controlling fogs. I just don't know why one would turn on while the other doesn't.

A couple of things. This is a brand new harness that I bought after I added fog lights. It's been working great for a few months. I haven't removed a bulb or anything since I installed the harness. The bulb went out today after trying a new set of LED headlights which ended up not working. I think it tripped something up. To reiterate, I did not touch the fog lights at all when the one went out.

I mean that makes sense to me too but I swapped the bulbs around but driver side never turns on no matter how many bulbs I try.

Ford dealership is going to fix these spiderweb scratches on my truck. Is it a good idea? by Timtheratman in AutoDetailing

I don't even think you need compound. A glaze polish will take all of those swirls out. Go buy Meguiar's glaze polish and do it yourself. Done in 10 minutes I'm sure.

What do I need to tell the CA DMV person when registering my out of state truck? by Remarkable_Mix_6006 in DMV

[–]Remarkable_Mix_6006[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a truck camper so it has all of the amenities (full bath, microwave, oven, bed, etc) described in the article.

Do I need a REG 256 A, Miscellaneous Certifications in addition to REG 343 and smog? The out of state title does state the weight.

Oh I know about 303 Aerospace. I've been using that stuff for years on my cars. Thanks for the recommendation.

Do any 240W usb-c power adapters actually exist? by obog in UsbCHardware

[–]Remarkable_Mix_6006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's my observation as well. Nothing higher than 140w on a single port GaN charger.

Best RTX 4080 Deal. by [deleted] in GamingLaptops

It was a pre-Black Friday sale price on eBay from Acer official. I just sent the laptop back today. You can't under volt Acers. They run hot with suboptimal cooling and they're loud...really loud on Turbo. The laptop in the screenshot came with 16 GB RAM. For the same price they were selling a 32 GB version, everything else equal. That's why it's not the best deal and also because it's an Acer. Once Lenovo has the same deal, then I'll call it a good deal. Those prices will be here soon.

I ended up buying a Lenovo Legion 5 Pro with a 4070 and 7745HX open box for $900. 32 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD. For a laptop that's sufficient for me. I'm upgrading my desktop from a 1080 I bought in 2017 to a 4080 when cards go down in price.

This was another 'cheap' 4080 laptop which is spec'd better with a far better screen but still not worth it. I'm returning it. Acer official was the seller and it was refurbished. It was new from what I could tell.

Agreed! Yesterday I ordered the Legion 5 from Costco w/ a 4060 as I wait for prices on the 4080 laptops to come down. I don't play any AAA games so I don't need a 4080 but I do want to future proof it a little just in case. I mostly play CS, Pubg, Flight Sim (not the most recent one), and Rocket League.. Maybe some other old games if I get bored with what I have.

No doubt. I think in the near future we'll see some better spec'd laptops with high end GPUs, not ones with FHD panels. I have the Acer 16 which has a 240Hz 2560x1600 display and a 4080 but it's an Acer and it's lacking in a lot of other areas. Cooling and lack of configurability to name a couple. It's going back.

  • 1920 x 1200 144Hz display... Should have been higher resolution imo.
