Missing sensors, perfect. Now you'll have lights on the bike to match your car. My guess is that they're for bikes that use a retainer plate instead of a shaft nut. Some Harleys use threaded holes for retainer bolts to keep the shaft nut from coming loose, I don't know if other brands do that. They look to be fairly different in design so make sure the off-set is the same, that's the only potential problem I'm seeing.

Nothing bad has ever come from a lab, nothing to worry about. It probably has the potential of being better than 'real' meat in every way. Electricity is at peak rate during dinner time, with enough radiation you can eat with the lights off. The government will be involved so there's some potentially bad outcomes.

An instrument panel without colorful lights is boring.

An ex GF's mom drove a blue Taurus wagon. At the time there were quite a few of them around, the one distinctive feature about hers was the lean. One day I asked her how it is that she's related to that ginormous beast, in a nice way. "OMG, when mom was my age she was so hot she put me to shame." Oh fuck. Last I saw her she was headed in mom's direction. She still had a long way to go, but was probably double the size she'd been when we were together.

There's some unsavory truth to that, but luckily it's been pretty good to me. I wasn't looking to buy an Excursion, I was hunting for a cheap 7.3 pickup to tow my boat and fell upon the Ex, then fell in love with it.

Lets see if this works. Dear Dr. Phillip, I get a burning oil smell in my Diesel Excursion when I let off the throttle at highway speeds. I've narrowed the source down and it's coming from the exhaust pipe, I added an extension to the outlet and the smell mostly vanished. Do you think I have a turbo leaking oil, injector problem, worn piston rings,...? It's just coming up on 450k miles so nothing should be worn out yet, but it's a Ford so who knows.

If it was caused by the seat removal it's probably a wire that's damaged, maybe a connector. The most common cause of an intermittent SRS fault is the clockspring, but if it never did it before the seat removal then the problem probably lies with the wiring at the seat or maybe the seatbelt. If they came on all at once and are consistently on, my guess would be a wiring or communication problem. Possibly as simple as a bad connection, possibly a failed module that's killing the canbus signal. I'm assuming the code to be P0400, catalyst below efficiency threshold. An aftermarket cat 'should' be good enough to not trigger that, but if that's the code, try a "MIL eliminator. They're cheap and easy to install. If it's a single wire sensor it's probably not a sensor issue. If it's a two wire it might be a damaged sensor, but probably not. Most of them are very simple devices; single wire turns on the light when it grounds against the rotor, two wire turns on the light when the rotor wears through a wire at the tip of the sensor creating an open circuit. There might be more advanced sensors that do electronical computery bullshit, dunno. I hope you had a few too many drinks, beats having snorted too much radiation or having had a stroke. They say that when you have a stroke you smell toast, but maybe that translates to burnt wires and tires for you.

I will go out of my way to accommodate people I want here, anyone else can find a place to stay.

Well duh. That's like expecting a car rental place to have vehicles outfitted for handicapped drivers. An RV for huge people would probably have to be custom made/modified, I doubt any RV manufacturer offers it.

Gasoline and a match. If any wildlife gets into it, knife and fork.

I didn't know that RV manufacturers make rental specific models, I learn something new every day. Whether an RV will work for them depends on the RV and their size and willingness to to deal with it. I know plenty of obese people who do fine in RVs, and a few non-obese who have trouble. Put them in one of the VRBOs.

The pressure differential can be as much as a forced induction motor, probably 10 PSI or more.

In my case they were usable within a couple days. The boots I did were much thinner so they probably soften much faster, but they also needed to be much more pliable to be able to fit them. Carb mounting boots just need to be less than rock hard. They will re-harden, but it shouldn't matter 'till the next time the carbs need to be removed. The down side is that I don't know how well they'll re-seal to the head. If they use an o-ring that's a simple solution. If they use the molded rubber as the seal I'd probably coat them with aviation sealer.

Gonna replace that E-junker with a gasser or diesel?

Assuming they're 'smart' airbags; being that it barely detects Moriah means that they might under-weigh all passengers and skew the deployment speed. The driver's side could have the same issue, but that side is always on so you wouldn't have an indication.

They should be serviceable within a week.

I've searched all I can and can't find specs for either, he's fucked.

🤣

I smashed my right index finger about 30 years ago, the nail still grows with a crack down the length of it.

Success! Some thermostat failures are sudden, those are more obvious. The slow death cases can mess with your head.

Exactly. Many older cars/pickups have a switch so you can safely carry an infant/small kid. I think the switch was a requirement in vehicles that didn't have a back seat option for car seats. I'm pretty sure weight sensors eliminated the manual switch. In some cars the weight sensor tunes the deployment speed of the airbag, maybe all cars these days.

One thing I found interesting with my Guzzi is that at idle you could feel the bike rock left/right from the piston movement. And throwing a rev made the bike pull sideways. It had noticeable big twin vibration, but not shitty like most Harleys.

I have the opposite complaint, the airbag turns on for parts or other cargo well under 100lbs.

Ahh. So it's a hardhat and clipboard pick up, perfect. Hi, I've been sent to pick up all of your undamaged operable vehicles for further testing.

Maybe because there's no reason to, and also because the heat would probably melt it away.
