    Beer of the day thread

    That's a great brewery. I belonged to a camping group that set up each year at Oshkosh. We always had a keg of Spotted Cow on tap.

    swollen nuts, lol

    Using an impact is not necessarily bad or dangerous. I use an Ingersol Rand air impact all the time. Mine has an ability to regulate torque for both installation and removal. When set at the low setting for installation, mine gives me about 75-78 foot pounds and I use the torque wrench for...

    I have a Porsche Boxster 981 and a 350Z for fun and my 2006 Ford Escape Hybrid for work projects.

    Front camera service warning and assisted cruise Not working

    Is it reading the speed limit signs and displaying them? This sounds like a dealer issue; is it still under warranty?

    Help! White stains on driver door panel that keep coming back

    Worst case, you can always do touch-ups with SEM vinyl Paint (actually a dye.) I repainted all the vinyl pieces in my plane and it cam out like new. This works best in low wear areas.

    Non-adhesive mount for Garmin Dash Cam Mini 2

    PLA will not hold up very well in AZ. It will warp very easily and likely crack although is the easiest to print. Try ASA, ABS, or nylon for higher temperatures. The ASA filament is hard to get; I had to order from China. You may need an enclosure to print the ASA, ABS, or nylon.

    What do you use your rear cargo 12V outlet for?

    Outlet with 400 watts is pretty useful for camping. Some campers use it to power a CPAP machine. I use it to inflate my air mattress and you can use it to recharge your Jackery while driving.

    Battery charging voltage question in cold temperature?

    I wouldn't worry about a 15.1 charging rate. I have seen that on my Porsche many times.

    Wireless charging

    I tried mine a few times but decided to get the Apple wireless pad and leave it in the console. The Apple charger has a great magnet and can fully charge in about two hours. I use a wireless adapter so I can just leave the cell phone in the console. I have the same setup in my 350Z and the...

    I had a trailer hitch put on mine and found a Thule bike carrier for about $200. Those are normally much more expensive if you get new though. Thule Helium Pro (2 Bike and 3 Bike Carrier)

    Anyone know what this is and why it wont go away on my nav/sync

    Is it maybe a malfunction of your backup camera? The car image typically overlays the backup camera image and will display car doors open, whether lights are on, and shows whether your parking assist sensors are working. If you only see the car image, that would be my guess. If you have a...

    Battery Replaced

    Try one first. I have used mine on the four cars we own, aircraft batteries, and an off-grid 400 watt solar system for about five years. If the tester shows that the battery is dead or defective, the load tester will tell you the same thing. Sometimes the load tester will tell you that the...

    Hood: Anyone else have this happen ?

    If it feels waxy, it may have been sprayed by Ford when making the car. This used to be common practice to spray everything in the engine compartment with something like LPS3.

    Battery Replaced

    Battery testers are cheap (around $40) and every car owner should invest in one and use it frequently as preventative maintenance.
