    Genuinely curious.... are any emissions systems better for the environment?

    I don't care if it is distributed or not. Don't use it. I just find it ironic. And yes, as an avid waterman, I have been underwater that long. And....the improvement in air quality is not solely due to the mandate that diesels use cat urine and water injected into the exhaust.

    Genuinely curious.... are any emissions systems better for the environment?

    As mentioned- the waste of the DEF jugs. Let's also not forget the emissions of the plants where the DEF is made. Also, the trucks and trains that deliver the DEF to the store. The stuff is mostly water. Seems pretty wasteful to haul around tons of water all over the country.

    Starlink & myQ garage door opener

    We have one with a battery and one without. No issues with either one on or after generator running. We have lost power twice in the last month.

    Starlink & myQ garage door opener

    We were fortunate enough to build this place custom. The clearane isnt huge (8' high doors, 14' inside/ two 16'wide and one 8' wide doors) but it's a ton better than the old cookie cutter home.

    Starlink & myQ garage door opener

    They are in 2.4g with the rest of the appliances. The Starlink router does both.

    Am i missing something?

    Final update: The assembly arrived yesterday. Got around to swapping the parts today. All is well in Twinville! Took a couple passes through the trail behind the house and down the driveway just for S&Gs. Thanks to Homestead and @thoyt !!

    Truck / trailer questions

    Only if the trailer is long enough to back the unit up far enough to get enough weight on the tongue. I’ll disagree with the standard 10-15%. Lots of experience towing many different things. Bumper and 5er. Boats tend to be much lighter up front. 8% is not uncommon. Toy haulers tend to be nose...

    Nylon protective sleeve

    .30 MORE per foot. Not .30 per foot. Comparing the difference between two products from the same place. I stand corrected at .40 per foot after looking back. And that is for the roll, unfortunately.

    Nylon protective sleeve

    I was comparing 1.69/ ft. to 2.09/ ft. When I checked back, I saw the note that the burst protection min order is 300 feet. Probably that is a whole roll. There is a local Ag Indistrial hydraulic shop near me. If I get some time to stop in when they are open, I will. Even at 3 bucks it is not...

    Nylon protective sleeve

    And I thought both products protected against injury to the operator. I don't know what the OP wants. I do know that I wish I had known the differences in the sleeve material and what each specifically was intended for. Its not much to go with one that protects from ruptures. At only $0.30 more...

    Truck / trailer questions

    I'm going to assume the trailer might weigh 3000 at most. With a 4000 load on it, that makes 7000. I don't know of a 1/2 ton that wouldn't pull that just fine. Stop it too. Thing is, you are likely going to overload the rear axle of a 1/2 ton truck. The problem is *what* you are towing. It's...

    Nylon protective sleeve

    Learn something every day. There are some that do, and some that don't protect against injury from oil spray.

    Nylon protective sleeve

    My understanding is that the sleeves are to protect from highly pressurized oil spray. Not necessarily to protect the hoses.
