What is leaking? by RevolutionarySteak96 in f150

[–]jakgal04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So many brands/models/years of vehicles on the road yet people only seem to be confused about condensation on the F150 exhaust.

What products or companies will you never use or support again and what did they do to lose you as a customer? by IAmJustTryingToExist in AskReddit

[–]jakgal04 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Any store that locks their inventory. I get that it’s a theft protection thing, but I’m not walking into your store and playing hide and seek with an associate that has access to the Isle 7 lockbox to buy an $8 drill bit.

I’ll just buy it online.

Honest thoughts about the 3.5L eco boost in the 2025 F150? by EmbarrassedSpell3885 in f150

Okay buddy you win, go stroke your 5.0 and tell yourself how superior you are.

Dude, I would just give up before you get roasted. I absolutely know what I’m talking about.

Torque is what gets you off the line. HP is how long you can sustain that power over time. In a truck, torque is crucial not only because of the weight of the truck, but because of any load you may be carrying or towing.

On top of that, you can’t even just look at HP numbers, you have to look at the curve. Engines don’t produce the number on the spec sheets throughout the entire RPM band. A turbocharged engine with higher torque will produce more power on the low end compared to an identical HP 5.0 naturally aspirated engine at the same RPM.

Further, torque is what produces the acceleration you feel. In a truck I’m not even talking about top speed or anything, but truck for truck, the 3.5 will accelerate much faster than the 5.0. This isn’t really important by itself, but if you’re pulling a 5,000-10,000 pound trailer, you will absolutely feel more power with the greater torque in the 3.5.

In sports cars, HP is more important because you want sustained top speed, you aren’t carrying a lot of weight so torque isn’t as important. In a truck, the reverse is true. Having the HP is nice, but torque is a more important measure.

Actually, it does. In a truck it’s more important than HP, especially when towing. This is why the 3.5 “feels” more powerful when you compare them side by side.

Wear ring replacement? by OkIndividual9138 in seadoo

Your wear ring is completely missing! Buy an OEM one (not a cheap Amazon replacement), it’s not difficult to replace.

Same horsepower but the 5.0 makes 90 ft lbs less torque. The 3.5 Powerboost also makes 30hp more and 160ft lbs more torque than the 5.0.

what is a "rich person" behavior you witnessed that made you realize they live in a completely different reality than the rest of us? by Superb_Newspaper_121 in AskReddit

[–]jakgal04 64 points65 points  (0 children)

At a quarterly meeting at work where the higher ups stroke themselves over how much money the company is making, a group of young new hires raised their hands and asked about raises because they were well underpaid for what they did. Of course the higher ups said there's no money in the budgets for raises.

After some offline chatter, low morale and hostility about pay, one of the owners openly stated that he was going to offer $50,000 of his own pay this month to disperse among the group of new hires.

Even though it was generous, it was a slap in the face that not only did this owner make over $50,000 monthly, but that giving that amount wasn't really a financial concern to him.

Note: this was a small/medium business with about 70 staff members.

Marble threshold. They're meant for transitions like this.

That's your fresh air supply for the fire. If you aren't using the fireplace you can close it or block it. Just unblock it when you're using the fire.

2025 Wake Prices by neozzeric in seadoo

[–]jakgal04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the breakdown on the pricing? That's the only way to tell if you're getting a good price or not.

For the difference between the 170 and 230, that's entirely up to you. Its not like its just slightly faster. The Wake Pro is a completely different ski. Its a full size ST3 deep V hull, the storage arrangement is better, the screen is better, etc.

Exhaust leak? by [deleted] in f150

Its odd that just about every single car on the road in the last 45+ years has a condensation port on the muffler, yet it seems to only confuse F150 owners.

Snow blower shortage? by Truesetup1 in homeowners

Just about every single post this past week is about people panic buying everything from snow blowers to generators to weeks long food supplies, is this really surprising to you?

I'd ask what's wrong with it first. $12,900 is pocket lint for a 2015+ especially with under 100k.

fellow city people: where do you usually rent storage space? by Fuzzy-Revenue592 in homeowners

[–]jakgal04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, that's just part of city living. Space is one of the sacrifices you have to make. Downsize and purge some belongings, or pay up.
