    Caddy XT5 Towing Capability

    In the 5.3L you could buy something that plugged into the OBD/CAN port and you just left it plugged in. Haven't looked at the 6 cylinder engines.

    Caddy XT5 Towing Capability

    Was an issue on some 5.3L GM engines early on when they introduced it. Personally, it would be disabled on any car I owned.

    Truck reporting over hitch weight

    An old Reinell...We used to have one of those. Ours was a 75 24' with soft top. Not the best built boat in the world but we put close to 1000 hours on it.

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    I wonder if it would be worth buying a spare panel in case someday you have to replace that radio and the new one will be a different cutout size.

    Problem is, the reason newer trucks have more power is all the new stuff that is on the new trucks!

    Truck reporting over hitch weight

    You mean a 70s truck where a 1 ton version won't even tow what a 1/2T can now? I had a mid 70s 3/4T truck with a 454. 240HP and 370 ft lbs at 3800 RPM. It got around 8 MPG My 2018 F150 has the 3.5 ecoboost engine. It has 375HP and 470 ft lbs at 2500RPM and gets 20MPG on the highway.

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    This post got me looking at the electronic man overboard systems. After some research, thinking about the ACR Olas Guardian system. Hear anything about that?

    Alarm sound when turning the key - starter does not work.

    Yep....measure first at the output of the starter switch S terminal. If that is low, look at the input to the starter switch. All of this is done while trying to crank the engine in the start position.

    2023 NFL/CFB News and Nonsense

    The officials said after the game that if the WR had asked, they would have told him he was offside. Poor losers all around on this one.

    Show me in the rule book where a WR is supposed to get a warning...I will wait! BTW...both pictures were taken at the exact same time if you look at every player's arms and where they are located.

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    Supposedly, they are starting to enforce using it on Lake Tahoe. We are a Coast Guard enforced lake and the local Sheriffs and Lake police will also be enforcing the law. I am using one if I can remember to attach it. You are only required to have it attached at planing speeds.

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    I have done a bunch of work on my Cobalt under the dash. I don't really see stuff like that. What I am having issues with is a Garmin problem. One of my Garmins lost NEMA 2000 connectivity. That took a while to diagnose since it took down the NEMA network on both my devices so I was without...
