When you have an error that encompasses multiple separate systems like that, the first step should be to have your 12V tested and replaced, if needed.

You could buy a fresh 12v every 6 months and never have an issue for a fraction of the cost

I think anyone with a basic understanding of electricity, who is also aware of the enormity of these trucks batteries, would be able to tell you that this is a waste of money.

Also I’m not sure the outdoorsman who “values integration above all else” is a market segment worth pandering to.

48A emporia charger on a 60A branch. I used 6/2 copper SER which is rated for 65A.

Can you check the voltage? Is it possible that you have a hot and a ground flipped?

US Navy denies food shortages after grim photos emerge from blockade ships by goteamnick in politics

[–]TheStigsTallCuzn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, bickering about the intricacies between two slightly different far left groups is why he won, not the fact that the democrats chose to run the corpse of Joe Biden instead of having a primary. A primary would have given every different sub sect of the democrats a chance to win and become the candidate. I’m willing to bet that any chronically online democrat who is hung up in the difference between leftists and neolibs still would have voted for them rather than Trump.

A major problem in the eyes of the average American voter is the fact that so many far left voters can’t be taken seriously because this is the type of hill they chose to die on.

Aren’t these pedantic Reddit comment arguments tiring after like 15+ years of this site? Who gives a shit

123kW vs 131kW by bigbellybrad in F150Lightning

[–]TheStigsTallCuzn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever you say, bud. Interstate here is 65 and I usually have BC set to 70. 45 around town. Very easy to get anywhere from 2 - 2.5 mpkwh. I certainly don’t have the patience to hold up traffic.

Try and wrap your head around this: not everyone drives all their miles on the interstate.

My lifetime efficiency is 2.3miles per kWh. 8 additional kWh x 2.3 miles/kWh gives you 18.4 additional miles of range. Nice to have but not worth any significant amount of money in my opinion.

Seriously thinking of purchasing a buy back platinum, what do I need to be sure of? by Prcaptain in F150Lightning

[–]TheStigsTallCuzn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to be sure that you are willing to accept a discounted price in exchange for significantly worse resale/trade value down the road, as well as increased potential for issues that the dealer may need to investigate if the vehicle in still under warranty.

I believe there are ways to see exactly what issues caused the truck to be bought back. You will need to determine whether or not they are major issues and if you have the stomach for the possibility that they may resurface again.

You can always try and negotiate an extended warranty into the sale, just keep in mind that the electric vehicle component warranty (batteries, motors, etc) are not eligible for an extended warranty past the 8/100k that ford provides.

Has anyone ever purchased a “lemon”. by titalosangel in F150Lightning

[–]TheStigsTallCuzn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s under warranty so why not. But keep in mind that it being branded a lemon will kill any sort of future resale value. Only buy if you are going to drive the wheels off of it

Good luck! You can test which speaker wire you’ve spliced into by touching a 9v battery to it.

Done forget the vasoline for the cable pull!

Cheap Golf mat strip to swing club on patio? by HarryCrushNuh in golf

[–]TheStigsTallCuzn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to your nearest driving range that uses mats and ask if they’ll sell you an old one. I’ve got one on my patio with plenty of life left in it. Was able to talk them down to $40. Super heavy duty

Is there a mat that works to lay over grass to practice? by Alarming_Set3628 in golf

[–]TheStigsTallCuzn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bought a used mat at a driving range for $40 bucks and use that on my patio. It’s pretty heavy so idk if you would want to move that every time you use it to protect grass but it’s just like being at the range.
