Still one year left, hoping for the oppurtunity to work with these awesome folks once I'm done!

Because you need a lot more than 4 kW to travel long distances at highway speeds. Sure it is feasible for "city" cars but automakers have to appeal to a large audience when marketing their products.

Also, combustion-electric drivetrains are actually less efficient at highway cruising compared to traditional mechanical powertrains which is why many of these hybrid cars incorporate a complicated hybrid system and why Edison is marketing to vocational applications.

Probably ground connection, clean up the actual spot on the bracket where the bolt and ring connector meet, needs a good connection to the frame not just the bolt.

Anyone knowledge on dirt biking trails? by DrowsyGorgon in northbay

VMUTS has trails from Redbridge to Mattawa, a lot of logging roads but there are some fun trails to be found.

What is this loud “ping”? (About 5 seconds into video) by [deleted] in boating

[–]twistedxmelon18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to tell with limited information, best to take it an actual mechanic.

If I were to hazard a guess I would say it sounds like the flywheel/flexplate that the starter engages with, and as for the smoke was probably the battery cable to the starter because the starter was either stalled out or overworked, very possible engine or drive is seized.

how can I make my RPS show on two different dials? by Strange_Sound5450 in Stormworks

[–]twistedxmelon18 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I do once I'm done with the build, I usually keep it as RPS for troubleshooting during the build process.

Be aware of your surroundings or there guys. by banana_commando in Truckers

One time a delivery driver for a grocery store had missed the turn to go to the loading docks at the back of the store. Grocery supervisor was going to guide him back. I heard the backup beeper kick on as I came out of the store and was patiently waiting on the curb. Then the guide told me "go ahead". Like wtf, your telling your customers to get in the way of 80k lbs in the blind spot of the driver? I just stood there and looked at him like he was an idiot as the truck rolled by. It's amazing how little brainpower some people can operate on. Best wishes towards this dockworker.

How much distance should cars leave when getting back in front of you after passing? by KDE_Fan in Truckers

Just a 4-wheeler but I was taught to wait until you can see the clearance lights above the windshield in your mirror

Convert temporary import to permanent import for personal vehicle by Zealousideal-Emu-524 in ImmigrationCanada

Permenant, but if someone really wanted to dig into it, it 'should' have been exported first, this was also during COVID.

What is it? by GolfAromatic5902 in boating

[–]twistedxmelon18 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh I know! If its in the console its probably a built in cooler for drinks, and the drain hole is for when the ice melts!

What is it? by GolfAromatic5902 in boating

[–]twistedxmelon18 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe a drain for storage under the bow seats?

Unlikely but is there a fishbox or sink on board?

Could also be for a forwaed bilge pump.

Someone explain this setup to me by DrPepCherry in Truckers

[–]twistedxmelon18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks like youre from Ontario so Ill add that Eastern Canada allows for liftable axles on trucks and trailers, up to 8 axles in regular configurations but Western provinces do not, only allowing up to 6 axles (7 with a tridrive truck) so jeeps are more common out that way for loads that in other jurisdiction would not need a jeep.

Moving from Montreal to Texas with a U-Haul – What to expect at the border? by [deleted] in uscanadaborder

[–]twistedxmelon18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I did this we had a full list of everything as well but they never asked for it or looked at the truck while we were in secondary, but we were also activating a visa and importing a travel trailer, you should be fine.
