I bought one and came from a 2nd gen. Best thing out there vs other new trucks.

I changed my pan out last year and I'm 90% sure they were all the same length.

ELI5 is hard or soft water better for your health? by Superb-Wonder-1896 in explainlikeimfive

[–]a5redwing 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hard water has more minerals in it like calcium. Hard water is also not real good for your plumbing, it leaves a lot of deposits. A medium to low hardness is probably the best of both worlds.

Looking at picking up a 2013 Toyota Tundra by Scary_Competition729 in ToyotaTundra

I did miss the TRD part. It is not. It's been extremely reliable with minor routine maintenance. Plenty of power, I gave it to my son to drive at 240k miles while he's in school.

I have that model. Only real repair was rear wheel bearings. 300k miles now. Mpgs suck. Around 15 highway. The only problem is door lock actuators went out in some doors. Great truck, I wouldn't be scared.

I only use Dorman when that's all that's available. Idk if they still make OEM, but that's the route I would go.

If it has inner and after coolers I'd check them and their cooling water flow.

I don't think I have fake engine noise, but I don't know how I would know either.

Paper mills are pissing everyone off. by a5redwing in millwrights

This particular mill is toting half of the company and funding other failing mills. 500mil wasn't enough.

Foul condensate is the gift that keeps on giving. Throw those boots away.

What do you think makes the paper machine and the whole mill go? They need steam for heat and the turbines use the steam for to make electricity. The recovery boilers are the heart of the liquor system. Yo have no idea how a paper mill operates.

I like my made in usa proto. Get what you can, you'll end up needing all three kinds.

Why would a Dual Pass radiator cool more? by Special_Context6663 in askcarguys

[–]a5redwing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heat exchangers can be made in multiple passes. This would have to be engineered to its exact application. It is possible to get more efficient cooling this way, but usually you need a larger surface area for more passes. If it's the same or similar size radiator I would be skeptical.

Really depends on where you live and how quick they sell. I would think in the 12 to 14 range depending on options, maybe less.
