Not to doubt your knowledge, but: " The Tire Industry Association (TIA) recommends using two drops of motor oil, which is a common practice to reduce friction during torque application. Proper lubrication can help achieve more accurate torque values and prevent galling or seizing of the...

Were they also Diode Dynamics? I didn't even see they had warranty until after I bought a 2nd pair.

Wow, that's a heck of a story! Glad you finally got it fixed. We had a Rambler when I was a kid. We were dirt poor too. I don't know what model year it was, I am guessing early '60's. It was weird too. I remember the window washer was operated by a foot operated plunger like thing. One day mom...

You waited 30 years before you got your toe fixed?

Wow, that nut barely has a thread holding it on.

Yeah, I've seen my fair share of dry, rusty, stuck hardware, I figure a spritz with a light lube can't hurt. And every time you disassemble rusty hardware, you remove some metal.

I had to use one of those when I wrecked my motorcycle and shattered my tibia.

I get it. Red accent is definitely far more common.

Yep, missed all of that. If I noticed earlier, I probably would have replied, "Purple?" Kinda reminds me of all the dumb fluorescent colors people spent money for cheap add on's in the 90's. No offense, just not my vibe. Purple the hell outa that thing!

Purple?

I have been using an onboard desulfator for about 3 years now. It resides right near the battery, and is only active when the charge voltage exceeds 13.5V. I am on my original battery, purchased the truck in April of 2021. No battery symptoms yet. Weird thing is, I can't find the specific model...

Oh, right, negative side. It sounds like a strange coincidence then that your issues started when you hooked up the maintainer.

Did you buy a maintainer or a drainer? Seriously though, it looks to me like you connected it to wrong side of the BMS sensor. Can't tell for sure.

I usually spray WD-40 or something on the studs to keep them from seizing. Necessary? Who knows, can't hurt.

I took my truck in to a dealer on the other side of the Blue Ridge once to get a tire plugged, which they didn't because of it's location in the tread. Ever since then I get their mailings and the ones from I where I bought it on this side of the mountain. BTW, my dealer did plug it and it's...

Reminds me of the episode of Top Gear where they drove though the south and were allowed to graffiti each other's cars. One of the best, funniest episodes.

Too late, it happened. And I didn't even touch myself.

Truth!

I don't understand how that would do anything to help get the fluid moving. Aren't you basically in neutral when it's in park?

I have a 4-way lug wrench, you know, with 4 different size lug wrenches. It is the best thing for applying torque on tight nuts, you can apply equal torque on both sides. I remember breaking my Dad's ratchet as a teenager when using the breaker bar, step on it, method. Oh, and get rid of those...
