1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Because I'm working. That would be abandoning my post; a fireable offense.

 

I don't get breaks.

 

Santa clause doesnt give any breaks.

 

It's an industry thing. The nature of the work is lax until it isn't.
I'm bound to my post for 12 hours

 

Aren’t their paws good enough? There’s probably a 1/2” of callous skin on there for protection. Hell, we wouldn’t need shoes if we ran around barefoot all day, every day.

 

I expected more grass burrs. But there wasnt much grass.

 

We have one of those. NOBODY goes in there.

 

I’m trying to be patient and wait till I go fiberglass bedsides. But I get more and more impatient each day.

 

I already have GH 2, 3, world tour, smash hits, Aerosmith, Metallica, and 5. Along with 4 guitars, drums, and a mic. However, the PS2 has guitar hero 1, which I've played, but I'm missing.

 

I’m terrified that my insurance company would total my truck if I got into a fender bender or if someone hits it in a parking lot.

Is there something any of yall have done to ensure that your insurance company will pay for repairs instead of totaling? I pay for full coverage, but I’m guessing they’d insist on giving me cash for it’s value instead of paying to fix it.

I’m looking into my insurance details right now because I realized that they think I drive my Fiat less than 250 miles a year. It’s more like 2,500. Definitely going to get that changed.

 

Why change that? You have the same coverage for less monies?

 

We can't control what insurance does, but you can control how much they insure, to an extent. I've written about this before, but I pay a little extra to have my truck over insured. I tallied up all the money and extras I've sunk into my truck and sent that to insurance. It was around $8k. I had to send in pictures too.

If something happens and my truck is stolen or destroyed I'll get a much bigger check than I would have. For me it's worth it.

Did it raise your premium any?

 

@bmf4069 (anyone listening)
Describe your 4x4 disingagement coasting say 30mph.
Sometimes it's just a slight clunk, other times it makes me cringe, like the diff is going to rip a mount off.

 

30mph?!
I engage and disengage 4hi on the fly below 10mph or stopped. Usually it's silent or a light clunk.

 

My understanding/reading was that 4hi could be engaged (and assumably disingage) at speeds under 40mph.

 

I have no clue what the specific speed parameters are. I just know it's 4hi on the fly. I just do it slow to be safe.

 

I've hit 4hi at 55, yall are skeert. Schmooooov at highway speeds for me

 

I believe it was 50 mph according to the owners manual. They’re even nice enough to let you test it out when taking a test drive.

Yeah, I’m that guy.

 

Very slight thunk. When going 4lo it's a slightly bigger thunk.

 

Oh, and it's up to 55mph for engagement. Fucken send it.

 

I thought sub 20 MPH was the spec? Shifts like butter with little noise.

 

Fuckin A! I may be thinking 4-lo? I know I hit 25-30 in 4-lo at one point, but wouldn't dare shifting the t case at that speed.

 

4-lo is very low speeds. Like 5 for me, but I always stop before going back to 4-hi

 

Call it "testing" I really just wanted to know.

For the lo-hi shift I have good luck with shifting to neutral while barely rolling.

 

4-LO max speed per the owner's manual is 43mph in 4th gear for the A340F. I always stop completely to shift into 4-LO and I shift into 4-LO before I think I will actually need it.
