I also learned that rum turns shit talking into fact.

I found some kwh/gallon numbers on a few inverter generators and they averaged around 5khw/gallon at around 75-80% load which seems to be their sweet spot, and I think it's about what you were running. At 2 miles per kwh, which seems to be about average for an R1T, that's 10MPG. My shit talking guestimate at camp was that it would be 10MPG, I wasted a lot of time researching and mathing.

Seeing that the Rivian gets worse MPG than my motorhome was enlightening. I really wish we'd thought to do an MPG test, but it's probably not too late to get an estimate. The generator probably has published data on run time per tank at XX% load, from there it can be mathed out.

Should work. A garden hose might not handle the heat so you probably want to use something else on the hotter side of the Y. When I first started reading I thought you were trying to assemble some kind of under-washing rig, I've never considered needing hot water for car washing. I'd probably get one of those spinning sprinklers and drag it across the underside to help get salt out of stuff. The smarter/easier solution is to ship the truck here for the season, I'll send you photos of it becoming increasingly dustier as it's doing dry and salt-free stuff. Is that truck brand new or only new to you? And hosing it down with Fluid Film or similar before it gets salty will help. You have plenty of free protectant on hand, used motor oil, so that's an option.

I've only done it once. It was fun, but I was in much better shape at the time and much of the reason I enjoyed it is because I did very well. Today I'd probably be like my friend, he got a few feet up and spent the next hour+ recovering 😂

Do they have to be installed as a hex or can they be installed in straight lines or other shapes? I have no idea how they connect to each other.

As for feel, mine is air over hydraulic so it gives 0 feel. A manual hydraulic will give some feel. That has concerned me a few times when seating something, but I've found it to not be a problem. So far.

Most arbor presses are limited to around 2-3 tons unless you spend a fair bit of $. I stalled my 10 ton before the bearing finally popped loose. I don't know that it actually makes 10 tons, but it's an Enerpac, not Harbor Freight, so it's a believable rating. I inherited a 20 ton HF press that I considered keeping instead of the "weaker" Enerpac, but the structure of the 20 didn't instill a lot of confidence so I sold it.

No electric option? Damn, I feel like I'm on a roll with useless comebacks. Should I change my name to Tomek?

How the fuck does everything here become a god damn oil thread?!?

That's a good plan, I think. There's a chance that it would create an overheat issue on it so definitely do it early. AKA in warrantee.

A couple days ago I pressed the bearing out of an F-150 hub, biggest one piece bearing I've pressed. The pump started slowing down, the press frame was tweaking a bit, I got scared and stopped. Gave it a few hammer taps, couple more pumps, hammer, nothing. Pulled it out and put some heat on it, still stuck. Finally I said fuck it and stalled out the press while cringing, nothing.....then BANG, it broke loose.

Easy cure for cholesterol problems, just drink more Jose milk. My dad (Jose) went to the doctor for a checkup and was told that his cholesterol was a bit high, dad was a heavy whole milk drinker so of course the doctor told him he needed to drink non-fat or at least low fat. "That stuff tastes like shit." So the doctor told him to try mixing the whole with non-fat at around 50/50 then start reducing it so he could become accustomed to it. On the way home dad stopped at the store to get some non-fat and discovered that they sell it pre-mixed. He was really shocked to find that it was not just tolerable, it was fucking delicious! So then we had to ween him off half & half. I think it was Mikesail that coined the name Jose milk when he had coffee here, it's now become a household name.

Does that mean that energy is wasted in making IR or it'll take longer to heat the air because it first has to heat things that'll then radiate the heat? I thought it would be easy to get the answer from the interwebs, but no. And I've seen nothing talking about the wavelength or what would be best; do you know? Well, it'll have to get its energy from banjo electrons so Speaking of electrons, yesterday I learned that I've been wasting sun. My charge controller is rated to do 40a output and has a stated max PV input of 150v and 2400w. Going over the voltage is a potential smoke event, everyone warns about that, but the amperage is unlimited because it'll just shed any excess. With great sun I get about 3-4 hours of full power, with more panels I could harvest a lot more energy when the sun is weak.

Speaking of heaters, if I wanted to heat the garage with electric would it make any difference if I went with a normal resistive heater vs. IR? My other thought is to use a window AC mounted backwards, then I could flip it in the summer.
