But Avogadro's number is 10^26 for kilogram-moles (real mass units), why not pound-moles or slug-moles? This is discriminatory. :ROFLMAO: It is truly stupid how many "____ days" there are.

It might be something on this list, but depends on what the mood is that day, and who is in the Bronco with me. Car (related) Songs (in no particular order): I can't drive 55 -- Sammy Hagar Heading out to the highway -- Judas Priest Fuel -- Metallica 1000 HP -- Godsmack Jesus built my Hot-Rod...

As for why the 2.7 isn't getting a manual: I don't think it has ever been offered with one (the 2.3L has, in the Mustang) and therefore, probably does not have provision for a pilot bushing/bearing in the crank. I assume the crank is forged (I hope so with 400 ft-lb in a 6 cylinder, that is some...

Might be a small website change, likely a very large configuration management change, with lots of meetings and associated paperwork. I'm not sure what drove the original "no manual with Sasquatch" position, but changing the decision would probably require a lot of paperwork and coordination.

If you look at the LLOD walkaround video, at the 2:40 or so point there are shots of the rear cargo area. Behind the fluid carrier they have installed is a squarish pocket on the side wall that seems to be 6" deep or so. I would bet that is the installation point for the subwoofer...

My plan: Wet Okole covers and Weathertech mats while I wait for Bedtred or Armorlite floors to come out for the base model... Might even get a horse stall mat for the cargo area and cut a chunk to fit across the folded seats also. No freakouts here until B&P is active or my VB Bronco shows up in...

In the granny-low, it would lift the front end in 2WD. Then, of course you spent the next 30 seconds working the clutch and shifter to get into the synchronized 2nd gear from the unsynchronized 1st. Mostly 1st was for pulling Chevys out of ditches and snowbanks or towing. Alternatively, it was...

Had a '79, 460/4bbl, NP-435 4 speed, NP-205 Transfer case. Medium poo brown with Sand top. It was an awesome truck, as long as you didn't want to pass any gas stations. Got really good at changing rear-driveshaft u-joints too, about every 6 weeks.

If you buy aftermarket, you are likely looking at $2500 for the wheels and tires, and it could easily be more. The shocks are supposed to be pretty premium, so probably $1000 or more there. New fender flares, not sure, but likely several hundred. Then it is a 1.2 inch lift (or something like...

Pretty much all car antennas are very low gain, so it really doesn't matter (for the AM/FM). For CB or HAM, sure, it gets tuned, but those are less variable. The range in wavelength for broadcast radio is from about 2.8m up to about 560m (108 MHz FM to 535 kHz AM)

Had a Mini Cooper that had "leatherette" vinyl seats that had heaters, did not seem to be a problem...

And I didn't even use equations... :ROFLMAO:

Refrigeration/Air conditioning (the normal version): Compressor takes a low pressure, low(ish) temperature gas (R-134, R-12, R-236, propane, ammonia, several work--some are dangerous), makes it a high pressure, high temperature gas (by putting in work). High pressure gas goes to condenser, cools...

Another point of comparison, the 2nd Gen Xterra has 34.4" legroom (min) in the rear, and I can get in there with the seat all the way back. I am 6'3" tall and it is not comfortable, wouldn't want to go too far that way, but I can get in. We had a gen1 Escape and it listed Max leg room as 35.8"...

I look at X-plan as the fall back if the dealer is being difficult--kind of a "won't pay more than this" level. If you can do better (Granger looks better, a few others have advertised better) great. A lot of the dealers that have advertised great deals are a fair distance for me, so there would...

I think that adding the glass, mechanisms, motors, etc, would add considerable weight to a hinge that already has to deal with a 100lb spare tire and a 4' wide tailgate. The window would be about 15-20 lbs (or more?), the motor/mechanisms probably another 20. Adding 35 lbs to that tailgate would...

Don't have a plane, not a pilot. Aerospace Engineer with a continuing personal interest in planes (I do mostly space professionally). Used to teach aircraft design too.

Jeep has a "Badge of Honor" for Discount Tire, so there is precedent...

I would agree with this. Electric makes sense if you never need to leave town--for a commuter car that goes 20 miles each way to work, it can work out well (until the inevitable battery replacement, but that is a different question). "Over the river and through the woods to Grandmother's...

If you look at the Ranger, most of the mid package on the Bronco is the difference between XL and XLT on the Ranger (a few things in the XLT upgrade that are standard on the Bronco, a few things that are in the mid package that are extra options on the Ranger XLT), and that is about $4k, for...
