    I also believe you can set the pressure for anything, check your book I think you have to hold the button down for a specific time.

    I check my pressure manually anyways. I keep them around 50 unloaded and pump them up in the 60-65 range when I'm towing the camper. The truck's set point is up around 70 so that light is always on in my dash but you can read the pressures so you know the sensors are still working. I have no issue removing the sensors completely but I heard a rumor that they would become part of the annual inspection and you could fail without them. Not sure if it'll ever happen but not something I want to deal with.
    Did you ever mess with the volume settings? I might juice it up a bit so I get a slightly larger cup of coffee with the smaller pods. It was very rich coffee so I think it could do with being a little more watered down and still be good.

    I've been tempted to buy one before, as well. Since I get mine wholesale it'd be really convenient to be able to just bring them home and install them myself. But they're pricey; even buying a used machine I can have my tires swapped professionally a lot of times before I'd recover the costs, especially since most of the local shops know me through work and swapping a set usually only costs me $20 and a box of donuts for the techs.

    Already did and had a dealer tech look into it for me also. I can't change the truck's set point unfortunately. One of these days, I'll hook the truck up to ForScan and I'm sure I can change the setting that way. Having the set point that high is just ridiculous and doesn't serve it's intended purpose. Set point should be 50 at most. If there's a blow out or a leak, it'll quickly get below that point and let you know there's a problem.

    No, I never did that, I have the coffee cups from Nespresso that are the perfect size for the pods. Even the Nespresso travel mug.

    Wow, that's awesome! Cheapest I've found is around $20/wheel to mount and balance. That's why I tend to just get complete sets off CL rather than just buy new tires. I can usually get a damn near new set of wheels and tires for the same money as just buying new tires and having them mounted. I can also recoup some cost by selling the old set as long as I unload them before the rubber gets too low.

    It's a Ford F250, of course. What, you think I drive a Tacoma or something? :der:

    Yep. I will say this though, there's ForScan program out there for Ford's and you can get in and get full access to the truck's ECM. Things like the TPMS that can be changed, can usually be accessed through the program. It's free also, so that's a big perk. The Toyota ECM seems to be a tougher nut to crack.

    Here's the Tacoma with the F-250 mod installed:

    Helps to have friends. $20 a wheel is probably about right, normally. But as a 'favor' they charge it in their system like they're just doing a 'snow tire changeover' with tires that are already mounted on rims.

    It's because it was written in the 60's when casual racism and bigotry were a commonplace. And also before everybody was a giant sensitive pansy....

    Yep. I got that one out of their outlet store which is supposedly their 'scratch and dent' selection. I got quite a bit off of the regular list price and I'll be damned if I can find any blemishes, thing looks perfect.

    So far, I've been impressed with that company. I love the cover but I found a couple quick things that could make it better. I e-mailed the company, they responded the next day saying, 'yep, we know, we're actually working on a better solution and we'll send you the parts once we've sorted it out'. We'll see if I actually get anything from them, but I thought that was pretty cool.
