    Mini Split ductless versus ducted whole house AC

    I have an existing whole house ducted heat system that I want to upgrade to AC, or install mini-split AC system. 1) If I upgrade my AC, I’ll want to replace all my ducting, because it’s over 35 years old and install a condenser outside and run pipes, wires into house. A couple years ago, I...

    I dont understand the hostility towards wolf reintroduction in Colorado

    Absolutely!! When the real test regarding knowledge about hunting or conservation is whether he skis, snowboards, or both! Just kidding…..

    Have you moved out of state?

    Extremely insightful!!! I don’t have any delusions anymore at 61. I’m not happy in San Diego and I know in other states and towns many things would improve, especially red states. However, I know many things would be worse or frustrating. I’ve ALWAYS had a mind of my own and will go against...

    Have you moved out of state?

    Too crowded yes, however they will become much, much more crowded. There are millions and millions of people pouring into the country!!! I believe there is a huge housing bubble, especially in places like Phoenix, Salt Lake City, and other crappy cities and it will crash hard. This has...

    Have you moved out of state?

    Phoenix isn't full yet!! Lots of vertical room to grow. Tear down all those crappy houses on big lots with the swamp coolers and replace them with densly packed, high rise apartments. Lots of water too, when recycling from sewage to potable water gets going and watering yards and golf courses...

    New Truck--Dependability

    In my opinion is far better to have reliable vehicles that you won’t need a warranty for, because often you get hosed one way or another trying to use a warranty.

    New Truck--Dependability

    I believe extended warranty’s from different manufacturers and even dealers you bring the vehicle into various considerably. I’ll wager if you have a catastrophic failure on an engine or transmission the dealer is probably going to work hard for ways to avoid paying for warranty damages. Ford...

    New Truck--Dependability

    Talk them down, unless that is a great price and they goat multiple offers. Offer them $40 or $42. I bought a 21 last summer at $1k below 2021 msrp with 30,000 with no regrets. I was a good price for a great truck that had everything I wanted. I bought a 100,000 mile extended 5 year warranty...

    New Truck--Dependability

    Age is much less relevant. It's the miles, the kind of miles, the loads, the maintenance, and the environment it's driven and stored in that are critical.

    Utah: Wasatch Rifle

    Hire Strawberry Bay Outfitters. I got real lucky and got a 350 bull the same season several years ago. This unit is good for 320ish bulls, and there are some much bigger.

    New Truck--Dependability

    Is that for 150,000 miles? Is that just for drivetrain and engine. My friend said he bought something like that.

    My truck is not my daily driver, it sits most of the time.

    New Truck--Dependability

    I take that is if you can, avoid them. I bought a 2017 hatchback civic, first year the made them. Only option was the turbo, which I didn’t want. Many cars and trucks have turbos and are reliable. My civic has 130,000 without engine issues. Turbos and superchargers are more complicated and...

    New Truck--Dependability

    Very EXCELLENT!! What trim is that? Is the engine a hybrid? I said in another post my local Toyota said Contractors pushing the truck hard are having turbo warranty problems. I don’t like the looks of the 3rd gen as much as the 2nd. However, white looks REALLY Nice!! I’m envious.

    New Truck--Dependability

    Yeah, my friend has a long history of buying very poor quality cars and trucks. I wish him luck with that extremely complicated, turbo V6 hybrid 2024 Tundra that I wouldn’t touch with a ten foot stick!! I talked with a knowledgeable parts technician at my local Toyota and he said the turbo V6s...

    New Truck--Dependability

    My Tundra maintenance manual states that tranny oil should be replaced at 60,000 miles if truck has been used for towing or carrying heavy loads. I personally would replace it at 60,000 even if the only load in the truck was just me. If I towed and hauled heavy loads I might change at 30,000...

    I’m stock tires and wheels and 4x4. I can get a bit more than 17 going downhill.

    Which Superduty engines are you talking about? Damn shame about modern diesels, it’s the emissions. No other gas engine excels at towing and has such torque as diesel!! What do you mean you wouldn’t miss the new 7.3 with 4.30 gears forever? Do you mean the 7.3 Godzilla engine?
