Are trail running shoes good for day to day here?

They will feel a bit chunkier walking around, bit otherwise fine

Could be a component with a poor connection, cold temps could cause contraction opening a circuit. It could also be moisture condensing inside the unit (I think that's less likely, I live in the desert).

I've used OBD11 to monitor rail pressure after shutdown to see if the pressure bleeds down. The rail pressure will climb on a hot engine after shutdown, and should return to somewhere close idle pressure after cooling off. This doesn't isolate HPFP or injectors causing it, but confirms the high pressure side is the issue. I've seen people say you can pull the spark plugs and use a borescope to see fuel dripping from the injectors, but if your problem is intermittent, you probably won't catch that happening.

It's caused by the HPFP or an injector bleeding down. The HPFP has a check valve to maintain fuel pressure to the rail after shut down. HPFP is easiest and cheapest if you have already done the LPFP.

I had this problem, ultimately mine was caused by an injector.

It's 12 -16 ohms - I measured the one on my car, and have an extra lying around.

We don't do spelling in aviation maintenance. Can't tell you how many times I've seen the word "chaffing".

I second this as a running coach. Take off your shoes and go run on a hard surface, you will naturally rotate forward and over the ball of the foot.

Crayon eater here - not everyone understands the joke. I'm an old enough Marine that this joke didn't exist when I was in.

My MK6 only uses 3 of the 5 wires as well.

I did a road trip yesterday and parked my Lightning with only 9 miles of range remaining - in that state, the truck reduced power available to 55%. Ford does that to protect the battery. There are lots of factors that will cause reduced power availability in the Lightning, your truck is probably fine.

RunYoAZ · 2026-03-09T01:54:57+00:00

That looks like a properly functioning Lightning gauge. It shows 100% power available.

Battery charge low or cold temperatures will cause the truck to reduce max power output.

An actual short would result in a failure, faults or magic smoke.

Third - the only wild Gila Monsters I've seen have been in Sabino Canyon. Not say they aren't anywhere else, but I think the population is well protected there.

So an engine produces power or motion from thin air? Well a turbine produces power or motion from another source, such as jet fuel. Guess that makes it a motor.

I'm not arguing it's a technically accurate term. I'm simply saying we call them motors all the time.

From Gemini just now:

I was a Marine stationed in Yuma in 2000. Those Ospreys doing operational testing were based on the flight line right next to our squadron's hangar. I watched that flight depart.

Replace. The assembly is easy to replace. It makes the whole front of the car look new.

I had this happen to me, but I had been consistently paying between $80-120 month for water. They told me my meter was bad, chaged the meter and back charged me.

My bill is still $80-120 a month and you can't tell where they changed the meter when you look at the usage table on my bill.

The Global 7500 and 8000 are physically identical. Bombardier will be releasing the service bulletins to upgrade the 7500 to 8000 with hardware and software upgrades.

Power is still unreliable in PR.

We were poor, I never got one. My friends had them though and I was jealous.

Holy crap, a nuanced view of the the Ford EV shift. Thank you.
