Older trucks have a pull stop lever.

There are 24v remote start kits out there. The problem on the older trucks would be the engine stop.

Ok? Not sure how that even relates to the question.

The HMMWV uses torsen diffs. While they're not as good as a locker, they're way better than a open diff or a limited slip diff. You can use the brakes to modulate the diffs when they start spinning to apply power to the wheels that still have grip. Outside of that, there's the auburn gear...

The first URL to the TMs we host here has the software still. I just downloaded it and ran it here on a windows 10 machine without any issue.

Also, at least for the ferret, it's a bad idea to run on just 2 hubs/bevel boxes. People have pulled the shafts and later regretted it when they blew a bevel box or planetary.

@papabear It's ok to close this and start the vote thread I assume?

I honestly don't buy crypto. I just mine it. I use the miners during the winter to heat my home and office. I can use kwh to warm up heating elements. Or I can use kwh to run the miners to also make heat. I choose to run the miners to get something out of "making heat".

Can I educate a little? There's a great misconception that crypto will vanish at the push of a button. But that's not how it works. It's decentralized. Just like the internet is. Now, if your assets are held in a exchange and not a cold wallet, then absolutely you could stand to lose them...

I dislike how this is all being pushed as well. It should be incentivized to spur on things. Carrot and stick thing. Seems to be all stick though. I will say that I dislike the $100 fill ups of my Jeep Gladiator Ecodiesel. I would have a EV if I didn't live in a rural area and was able to...

Interesting. I thought perhaps it worked like the old International/McCormic tractors that started on gas and swapped over to diesel. They simply used an extra valve that allowed the gas side of things to work by increasing the combustion chamber volume (and hid the spark plug away from the...

Urethane. I don't think the rubber seals are available. And the urethane is probably the better option anyhow.

I piddled a little yesterday at lunch over at @Spot_ll 's we managed to get the drivers window reinstalled with the new glass. And the windshield is sealed in the frame. Also got the other crusty frame primed. But there's rain today. Tomorrow I have to go into the office. So maybe Thursday...

There's always going to be a limitation by physics. At least in the current battery construction. Supercapacitors though, that might be the answer, or a hybrid of a battery and supercapacitor to increase the speed of charging. The hows of the vehicle charging/range/exc. are just one part of...

Oh 120v charging would take a day or longer. 240v charging would be best for home. And maybe use 120 to top off a work.

But that's from a commercial charging station. I pay $0.11 per KWH here at home. So that's only $35.75 at home. Not knocking the commercial stations, they've gotta make a profit. But it'd be wise to only charge at home or where you can avoid a "retail" outlet.

I wonder how the hydraulic variable compression worked.

Depends on the parts. There are a number of parts that are available. But there's also a number of parts that simply are not available for any amount of money there is. (Parking brake cables I know are non-existent, I ended up having to make replacements) Being in the US, you'll also have...
