South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

I had shrimp that was supposed to be my dinner last night.

 

Good morning ladies and gentlemen!

 

They get gradually weaker over time, so you don't notice. Then straight to dead. I need a new one in the 07, but I haven't even checked if the 15 is original.

 

I need to put a tester on mine. Dealer told me it was getting weak, but not sure how much I trust them since they said I needed new brakes because mine were down to 5mm.

 

That's why I want to go to a dual battery system. Was planning to do it soon, but the funds just may not be there right now.

 

That's what I am thinking, too! Nothing worse than being stranded.

 

That is how mine died last year. Except my in laws had the truck in Needles, CA where is was 117 degrees that day.

I beleive 27f is our OEM size. I bought a 27f Northstar. Much more CCA’s and way heavier!

 

Happy Birthday @toysrgood !

 

Yeah, I don't know about how they test them. Load test should be done only on a known full charge. If it won't fully charge, bad. If it charges and falls load test, bad.

 

Load testing has kind if gone by the wayside. Now there are nifty electronic testers that can tell if a cell is bad shows the ripple of the signal of the alt. All sorts of info that's much more accurate than the old school toaster oven load tester. And you are correct the battery has to be fully charged to do a load test properly or you can get false readings.

 

Let’s make America’s coolers Shiti again!!!

 

Pin It to Win It!!!

 

Happy Birthday @toysrgood

 

What kinda bike?

 

That reminds me I need to find my pink slip for my dirtbike so I can send it to south dakota and get plates for it so I can ride it on the streets here

 

South Dakota is just super easy. I have a guide for it somewhere. I basically just fill out 2 forms, include a note saying I want to pay over the phone via credit card, and I'm done. Don't need a SD address or anything. I just need to buy my speedo/tacho so I know how fast I'm going

 

Too many things for me to deal with haha. I'll just send it in to SD and get my plates haha. I'm sure the cops will pull me over anyway with non-CA plates on it

 

Damn the humidity

 

I had a little fun helping get an F150 unstuck last night, a neighbor at one of the lake houses. His son was trying to pull him out with a Chevy 2500 4x4 and not much of a strap. Plus he was positioned all wrong. I took my strap and shackles over, got the Chevy into position better, and we got him out. The brother in law of the guy in the Chevy, joked that if the Chevy got stuck, he would pull him out with his F150, pointing out to the road where he was parked. I said nah, it would take my Toyota to pull a Chevy out.

 

Anybody have any input on a handgun magnet mount location in a gen3 that's out of sight and easy access? I've been looking around inside and cant find a place I like.
