Well here I go, politics, religion, our elders told us not to get on a public argument about those subjects... but.. we need to be good stewards of what we have (from home to the whole planet), EV will eventually replace combustion, before we push the agenda we need to think of the ECO impact of...

Gas I use my 36-40 mpg daily driver for my 250/week driving to from work, if gas hits 8 per gallon weekly drive will cost me $56 per week as opposed to my 4R 14-19mpg will cost me over $100 per week, lucky to have a second vehicle that is good on gas, so the answer is: I am keeping it! :flame:

4th gen alternator 2006 V8, installing dual battery and wondering if my alternator is “smart” or not, need to know so that I can either purchase a less expensive VSR (regular alternator) or do I have to cough up big bucks to get a Redarc and similar due to a “smart” alternator, thanks all

Fuses Should I get a high amp fuse (100) or 40 amps is enough?, my thought is that the higher the amps the more energy ill take to brake the fuse but on the other hand more energy will be allowed trough and hence an overload can damage the systems at the end of the connection (fridge or...

Would some one please update the list of DIY drawer plans, is still listed as free, it is currently no longer available for free but for $40, a great value as it takes all the guessing out of DIY systems, just that the description of free is no longer so, thanks
