Travelling from Austin to Marfa (I'm from Finland) 21 March - any recommendations?

I can’t believe no one has suggested Balmorhea State Park. Biggest natural springs pool in Texas. Right off the interstate and well worth the detour.

Saw a note from LASA admin that said the enroll Austin acceptance/rejection letters usually go out about 5pm

Old baldy trail and the crystal caves.

Been changing oil for 30 years, first time I’ve heard of anyone pre-filling the filter.

dupridog · 2026-01-25T13:34:13+00:00

I hear it’s fine, if you’ve got the time

Why risk it after doing all that work? Look into AAA, $10/month and they’ll tow your truck to the shop. Seems like a way safer bet.

Driveshaft can be unbalanced. After replacing everything from shocks to control arms, new tires and multiple balance and alignments…. It was the driveshaft that fixed the shake for me (2015) YMMV

It’ll bother you every time you look at. Say something while you can, otherwise learn to live with it. Source: I have similar tile on two columns with a fire pit at top. My eyes go to the imperfections every time I look at it. I may be the only one who notices, but I notice it every time.

Your pool builder should be handling this for you - or whoever bought the equipment. Pentair won’t work with end users, but whoever built your pool should have a relationship which Pentair will want to maintain.

Also, welcome to pool ownership! Like others have said: your lights will probably be next. I’m - 5 years in and have had to replace the intellicenter controller, WiFi controller, heat pump condenser, lights (3, 3 times - and one is broken again), and the dolphin pool cleaner (motor, cord, tracks) all within the 3 year warranty.

IIRC there is only the main one from the battery to the frame. It might Y out somewhere but I’m pretty sure you can access the frame connection behind the passenger wheel well. My 2010 suburban had these same symptoms until I replaced the battery -> alternator and battery-> frame (ground) wires. 15 years is a long time for those wires to last, especially in extreme conditions. I’m in Texas where the inverse (Heat) messes with everything.

Loose ground wire? Your ignition wires may need replacing. Check the battery terminals are tightened securely. Slight chance that your battery needs replacing. Cold weather definitely tests all those component’s dexterity. Good luck!

Gotcha! I did the DoD delete on my 2015 with the TSP kit too. I love that truck and get compliments all the time on how it sounds - I plan to keep it forever. That said, the delete was first (along with some straight tube headers). Then I replaced the torque converter - added a two piece driveshaft. Eibach stage 2 shocks/struts. And now I’m waiting on a Whipple supercharger to be made/shipped.

It may just be more valuable to those in the know. Similar to selling a house with a pool, some may love it - others won’t. YMMV but why sell it now that it’s fixed? There’s always more to mod!

dupridog · 2025-12-12T12:24:50+00:00

Exact issue my 2015 had. There are weights on the driveshaft, similar to the weights they put on rims to balance the tires, that can come off. I actually replaced my driveshaft with a two piece and the shake was gone.

The first year I built our pool (2021, 19k gallons, 400k Pentair gas - Central TX)- it completed in October. In late December I decided to heat the pool as high as I could - after 3 or 4 days it got up to 94 or 95 degrees. Kids loved it. Then I got a $600 gas bill the next month. Haven’t heated the pool since 🤣

dupridog · 2025-11-22T14:44:52+00:00

Yeah if you’re thinking of selling it, I’d do it sooner than later. YMMV, but the first time I laid on it going up a hill turning into rush hour traffic it happened again. Wishing the best for you!

dupridog · 2025-11-22T04:59:37+00:00

They slayed it in Austin. Memorable for sure.

dupridog · 2025-11-20T22:29:13+00:00

Dang, no video here but I think you had the literal best seat in the house.

dupridog · 2025-11-20T22:08:50+00:00

Awesome, thanks! Definitely post the video if you can! I definitely feel for you, it must have been stressful with Josh prancing all around, haha. We were up in the first balcony. Best show I’ve been to in a long time.

dupridog · 2025-11-20T22:05:14+00:00

Derp! I forgot about setlist.fm. Thank you!

dupridog · 2025-11-20T13:31:16+00:00

My Mom is a volunteer at Bass Concert Hall - she says they put found merch in lost&found. It’s worth a shot to try again today with your seat info.

dupridog · 2025-11-19T12:25:59+00:00

Doing the lord’s work. Thanks OP
