    Gen 5 Factory Turbo

    They are not very well respected company, as a consumer you don't see the Frenchman's other side & it is very dark. Ruthless is an understatement, there is a wake of destruction in manufacturing with companies who have tried to be a supplier. They have no friends & anyone that thinks they are...

    So sad

    Some very severe lightning in the area recently, spot fires everywhere. So most likely & high probability of a lightning "attack". It was a frightening place to be & vulnerable. That forestry look out was shutdown very early in it's life for reasons like this. Another reason it was too high...

    No, it is Mara Lake lake looking @ 2 mile or Sicamous creek. To the right of center is the drainage from Owl Head Mountain.

    I dyno tuned a 5.3 with 6L80 in a 50 chevy p/u. He replaced the VVT & DOD with a very small cam from Elgin, nearly 360rwhp @ 6200rpm. The base rating was 325 @ the crank. Perfect manners & idles rock solid @ 575rpm, that works very with the factory stall. That is also the stock truck intake, I...

    Solar System Install and Performance

    You make a point that has always bothered me, drives me crazy when I see panels mounted on a roof. I'm in a high snow load area, why would you install the array on a roof? Near vertical such as the wall, wouldn't that be wiser? Days are long in the summer with plenty of sunshine, so the panel...

    Solar System Install and Performance

    We upgraded our RV this year, on a recreational property & solar powered. I went with lithium as the cost has come down dramatically I was always AGM previously, did not want the LA maintenace program. My AGM's failed this year, Concord Lifeline that were 8 years old. My rationial was cycle...

    Solar System Install and Performance

    I used to think this way as well, until I started working with solar on our recreational property. Summer is easy, if you are located where the sun shines in the winter then possibly solar.....I'm not. The big factor would be the cost to bring power onto your property vs solar. My thought...

    BRP delay

    I think the world is going to be a in a very different place when these new sleds arrive. Some will have resigned new mortgages, fuel costs & groceries will have set in. Then they get the call about their new sled that is months late....I see dealer inventories growing. Deposits are held by...

    What is CF Moto?

    The reason the PDI is so high, unlike Can Am you cannot take a CFMOTO product out of the box & delivery it. PDI is Pre Delivery Inspection, not adjust & repair. If the CFMOTO dealer wants you to have a positive new owner experience & not have you back next day with a list of issue's they need to...

    F150 2.7 l good for towing?

    There is rental operator that delivered a 4 .5 ton Kabuto excavator to me using the F150 as the tow rig. He was very pleased & a older retired logger.....qualified to comment. We have two pick up's in our household, fancy Denali 1/2 ton with the fancy direct injection 6.2 & 10spd. I've the 1T...

    Jason Kenny stepping down as UCP leader

    Exactly, the vote spitting rhetoric hurts my last single brain cell. It's follows the definition of insanity, sadly I'm beginning to believe the system is so busted it's not repairable. It's not just our political system, the mess as with most things starts with our education system. Then how...

    New trailer

    I ordered a GD Solitude 310GK last Oct & picked up Wednesday. Started shopping less than 2 years ago, approx. 35% price increase in this period of time.....ugh! Alberta Grand Design dealers have cornered the market, I found the same as you for pricing. Really struggled with taken delivery as I...

    That is brutal, do you know why the spring broke? I had two near misses like yours, for some reason I picked up on a odd idle & noise. It was a aggressive camshaft ramp profile & not so good valve springs. I'm a fussy fusker setting up valve trains, shimming rocker arms for correct pattern...

    Building a garage-shop , need help

    Yes, good information. In floor heat is mandatory :) I've been seriously thinking ICF until niner posted. Doing some searching I see these sandwich panels not just for in ground walls. That's a new spin on my thought process, the slower transfer of temperature due to the concrete & lower noise...

    Building a garage-shop , need help

    That is an awesome idea with the concrete wall & the foam inside. Have you would you add a foam board to the exterior wall? I've two reasons, thermal transfer & noise.
