well ive never used the cloud because i dont live in a place with good cell coverage or internet access, and i dont even know what you mean by ‘actions’. im drawn to android for expandable storage, the wider availability of apps, and the lower cost of hardware. i am concerned about privacy, and to a lesser extent,…

yea a billion people in europe and india.  i dont know a single person who uses whatsapp (but yes, i pretty much only have apple users in my friendzone)

harry potter themed butter beer is just an excuse to move your poorly brewed diacetyl tainted swill to consumers who dont know better

but i’d probably buy an android phone if i could have that...so....thats the point...

this is honestly one of the biggest things keeping me from going android (yes, my laziness)

still, not gonna work for up north.  that def will freeze into a solid block in minutes if that heaters not going at -40, and i dont know of a battery that has enough juice to thaw it back out again.

thats just not true

i’m still looking for my 300d. it would actually be an excellent summer road trip car for AK i thnik.

i remember at the spritely age of 17, relentlessly hounding this dude on craigslist to buy his diesel isuzu p’up, with plans to start brewing bio in my parents shed.  i wish i’d done it, but he sold it to someone else.

Also, MODERN-modern diesels do NOT perform very well in the cold, due to the fact that DEF starts to freeze at 12F above zero! Fleet managers in the arctic have started abandoning them for this reason

I think its a regional thing too.  Up north the pumps run straight #1 diesel in the winter, down south in the lower 48 theyre probably a #2 mix or even straight #2

thank whatever god you pray to that we are past the days of IDI diesels

if i owned a diesel i would plug it in at anything below about 20.  but then again where i live even gas vehicles have block heaters, oil pan heaters, and battery trickle chargers or blankets

cummins uses a grid heater instead of glow plugs i believe

#2 diesel wax can still gel and clog lines and filters; no technology can overcome that (except heated fuel lines i guess). Even #1 diesel will start to gel at -40 or so. Cold start reliability was a large reason I didn’t buy a diesel F350, as I occasionally need to leave my truck at trailheads for days at a time, in…

yeah my life would be a lot more expensive without a truck. well water in our area is really bad so a lot of people haul water in tanks from town. delivery of 600 gal is $81. when i haul it it is $16. wedon’t have trash service here either, so it gives me a convenient way to take trash to the dump. i also haul…

my f350 crew cab long bed cost me 5k cash.  and i need it probably 10x a month.  sure, i could probably get what i need done with a trailer, but i’d rather not put the stress on the transmission of my DD, i don’t like driving with a trailer if i don’t have to, and i would have had to buy a trailer anyway!

but it does get that hot

siberia and alaska are two of those places though. OK, maybe not 110, but we regularly see temperatures colder than -40F and warmer than 90F
