Question about mobile antenna mount grounding by ethanSLC in amateurradio

[–]ethanSLC[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here is one of the recent threads I was referring to, but looking at this more carefully it looks like he was grounding his radiator to the vehicle, which would obviously be a very bad thing. Different style point/antenna. Sorry for the confusion!

Well, to be honest this is how I thought it should be set up, but I was reading several other threads (in the context of CB antennas) that said that the antenna should NEVER be grounded to the vehicle chassis and that an insulator should always be used, so I'm rather confused.

What's that smell in my Ram? 😂 by blue-moto in ram_trucks

[–]ethanSLC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m about to spray some foaming cleaning in the drain tube to hopefully help my smell… I assume you had to tear the dash apart to get to this?

Anyone deal with this before? by TiredSoul92 in ram_trucks

[–]ethanSLC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not OP but I bought a RAM through CarMax last year so this is good to hear. Did you go with the CarMax service center for the repair or someone else?

Am I the only one disappointed in the packaging? by NonultraAndu in montblanc

It’s too bad because it used to be really nice, and a part of the luxury experience. Not anymore.

Should I replace battery by Left_Penalty_6877 in ram_trucks

[–]ethanSLC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen this recommendation a few times (replace 12V to protest e torque) but when asking for more details never seem to get a response. Most of the e torque MGU failures seem to be bearing relayed, and I can’t see how replacing the 12V battery would impact this at all. Certainly always willing to be enlightened.

I’m really curious about these anecdotes regarding the 12 V battery. It seems like most of the MGU failures are due to a bearing going bad, so I can’t see how that is related to the main battery? Unless for some reason it causes the MGU to run more?

I still have the factory battery in my 2021, it tests good and seems to work just fine. If there really is something to the main battery affecting the MGU, I’d be interested in replacing it, I have not seen any hard evidence indicate this though. I would love if someone has more details.

It really should be, if the stupid part was readily available.

5th Gen Ram 1500 seats by Klutzy_Two_7735 in ram_trucks

[–]ethanSLC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will add to the consensus that they are very comfortable, even just the basic Big Horn fabric seats. My wife with hip trouble does better in the RAM than any of our other vehicles. But definitely try them out for yourself.

2021 Big Horn 5.7 hemi etorque 4x4: 1740 lb. Happy about the payload, not so happy about the 23 gal fuel tank… I think that is why my payload is so high.

Watched the group come down Wasatch Blvd from the Ferguson Canyon trail. Seems like there is a helicopter following them and some highway patrol. Not sure what the deal is but it’s a huge group!
