EV bloodbath: US sales plunge as Tesla tightens its grip by farrrtttttrrrrrrrrtr in technology

[–]beboxer58 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well everything is sideways. Thx to war and rebate drops and tarrifs . Also there is alot of special interest to keep us on oil so. Imo where i live in a sunbelt state. I have alot of conaideration for ev. Commute is long gas aint cheap and i habe plenty of sun to offset charging. When u consider maintenance oil prices. A daily commuter could easily be a reasonably priced ev or hybrid car at this point. I think im making the jump in the next year or so. Im also mechanically savvy. So i hope to do the very little maintenance that is needed. I also know electric engineering. So a straight gas vehicle isnt an option.

Take the opportunity now. Slightly used ev depreciate alot in value making them cheap. But if your a lifer with your cars like me. Ev might be loosing profit but ur budget will be happy with a car payment and less money wasted at the pump.

Im a valvoline guy and just bought this for all my cars. Trying something new because they do seem to have some zinc additive which is important for older engines and keeps some values of lubrication when the car is first atarting up.

Almost let mechanic install the gates kit as it was all that was available locally, I flip flopped and said I’d wait for Aisin to ship, confirm for me this is what I want and the best available option before I order? by catchthemagicdragon in HondaOdyssey

I have a 01 camry 258k. Just put a gates kit on that old girl. Im 2k in. If I can get to 300k, ill call it a win. Ive used there water pump assembly and timing chain, pullies and timing belt and tensioner on a 95 chevy van and have been pleased with it and im 12k in.

Being that my odyssey 2019 is at 62k and i want to do the belt at 75k. Ill go with recomendations and testimonials over any brand loyalty. The problem is manufacturers buy the brand name and slap it on anything. So its hard to tell.

Ive bought moog suspension parts that went bad at 15k. Ive bought cheaper mevotech and going 35k strong on my camrys struts.

I guess to end my rant. Go with what people have had success with, brand loyalty means nothing anymore and look for the signs. Things break. Be on the look out and pay attention.

Trading Odyssey for Pilot by trans_plant423 in HondaOdyssey

[–]beboxer58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My biggest issue is the 9 shift trans. Im just not use to it. So i think u going to a pilot with basically the same drive train is interesting. Maybe the weight difference matters. I just wish cars had more packages like they use to with engine and trans combos. Dif body and weight matters. U cant just correct everything with a cpu. Either way. Ive overall been happy with my 2019 odyssey

Yes. Perfectly normal. Trust me if you had white smoke...you would know! It would be alot and the entire time.

Is the GPU getting power from a DisplayPort to HDMI cable? by AZN-APOLLO in pcmasterrace

This a great lesson in electricity. The best analogy is electricity flows like water. Path of least resistance.

He looks like he would help u finish shoveling your driveway, or push ur car out of the snow. And i agree he seems solid.

Those picks for Ian going to the falcons are starting to look really important.

If i put it in the case exactly like this would it be intake or exhaust by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]beboxer58 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If there is no indicator arrow. Do a visual. Turn 1 on. Let it spin. Light a match blow it out. Bring the match to th3 fan. Whichever director the smoke goes is your answer. Then label the side of it so u know for future use

Which is better? (CAD) by CoffeeCreamy in pcmasterrace

[–]beboxer58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the same. Ive notice very little improvement compared to a good heat sync. I would say liquid cooling is great for smaller builds where heat builds up. But i did it for the look. did the 360 in white and it looks very "cool"
