All season! If you have two inches of grass, a pair of scissors will meet your needs LOL. Thanks for watching

@RonKnowsStuff LOL! I mean 2 inches off the top of your grass. So if it was at 5 inches it would then be down to 3.

@@someuser7501 I would say that’s what I did on the last cut and I got about an hour out of the Makita. I used the self-propelled about 75% of the time.

I put the whole bottle in. It stopped pretty quick- I don’t recall how fast. Though. Look up Scotty Kilmer, he goes into great depth about it

😂

Hilarious!

I think everyone has some Florida in them

I’m digging what you are saying! I will price one out. No substitute for cubic inches!!!

Garbage

@@Michael.j130 I think all the new stuff suffers from quality- I’d say maybe 2013 was the best year for longevity

Not a political channel

Great points! Thanks!!

To be honest - I am leaning towards the certified pre-owned 2019 F150. Quality seems to have dropped for all manufacturers after February 2020 due to Covid.

@@RonKnowsStuff That would be my (close) second choice. My two vehicles are a Toyota (Lexus) and a Ford E250 haha.

@@GregVT great choices! Toyota dealers here in Florida are difficult to deal with. Maybe I’ll search for a used one. Still like that CPO f150 though

@@RonKnowsStuff Every dealer in Florida sucks with these $900+ doc fees....except Mullinax, as you mentioned. If Mullinax had a used '23 Lexus ES350 for sale earlier this year, I would have been sitting on the hood when they opened the next morning LOL! Thought about going to Georgia to buy but even that wasn't financially beneficial. Ended up with a '23 ES350 from Carmax up in Sanford with a $600'ish doc fee...which oddly felt like some sort of victory 🤨 I wish you the best in your truck search!!

@@GregVTmy coworker bought from CarMax in Sanford. She had a good experience

Extreme caution when following anything on the internet

Ugh. Thanks for the heads up!

@@RonKnowsStuff no problem. our pathfinder just hit 107k miles, timing chain went bad. $5000 fix, we tried to trade the pathfinder, before we told them about the timing chain they only wanted to give 5800 buyout or trade. and its loaded well taken care of awd. Watch for recalls on the new pathfinders, lots of youtubes out on them now having major problems.

@@user-vq1ey8nv2l thanks! What year is yours?

@@RonKnowsStuff 2019. I hope you get a good 200k+ out of yours with no issues, just was warning you to take it in under factory warranty for every little thing you find. Gl..and have a blessed day.

Oh no! What a great idea for a customization! I have a cup holder that attaches to a microphone stand that can easily be adapted. HA! Makita one Tesla zero.

Slippery slope! 😄

That would be a no. I grew up with a toy car with batteries and am emotionally scarred from it constantly dying mid-play. Sniff sniff.

@@GregVT hahaha

@@RonKnowsStuff I've been driving them now for about a month an a half... Haven't even cut it close yet... When you come up here I'll take you for a ride in one

@@carquestionsanswered sounds like a plan! We sold our home in under 24 hours, found a new smaller home 3 miles away - should be done with that transition mid August then we can travel more!

We were very pleased! We have to buy another vehicle soon. Hopefully we do even better - it will be tough though as it will be a truck. Either the F150 STX or Nissan Frontier

@@RonKnowsStuff Definatley go with the Frontier naturally aspirated v6. Too many recalls with Fords these days. But Titan if you want to tow.

Let’s hope it lasts longer. It doesn’t have a CVT so it should be good for at least 100,000 miles

Good feedback. Thanks. It’s amazing the difference in pricing strategies. I tried to stay focus on the out the door price despite them all getting to it differently. We are buying a new car in August or September- I’ll let you know if the new federal regulations change their behaviors

They make a clutch attachment for the drill to prevent over spinning . It will prevent any possible injuries. Thanks for watching!

Promotion from the manufacturer- Nissan. A lot of them are offering better rates than the CUs or banks as they are trying to sell inventory

This week, I learned that dealers (not the manufacturer) pays for the subsidized interest rate when I was told by two Toyota dealers in south Florida that I could get either a discount OR their new promotional 0% APR, but not both.

@@hebertosantana184 dealers are known for telling the truth. It may be different per manufacturer though.

Wow! Well done! What truck did you get?

2024 Silverado 2500 Duramax LTZ

@@TheCarCrazyGuy nice choice!

Florida dealers are crazy with the add-ons AND fees. We went to Georgia and their add-ons totaled $599 whereas here it was at least $2495 plus fees.

Thanks for watching!

Doesn’t burn any oil so I suspect I’ll be okay for at least another 50,000 miles

Very true

Being in my 60s, I know who Ray Stevens is! And thanks for describing me as YOUNG!!! Martha! Put your clothes on! Since Georgia borders Florida, I’m going to see what their market is like. Stay tuned!!

Yep. I’m not happy with that at all!

Funny you mention that. I had a tech come out after that video and because I left the connector exposed enough, he didn’t have to cut anything. Thanks for watching!!!

Thanks for the comment but that’s not what was explained to me. I will do more research based on your comments. Information is always appreciated!!

@@RonKnowsStuff Google refrigeration cycle and you'll understand the comments your going to get about why it doesn't matter about whether or not the small amount of line exposed on the outside of your house needs that insulation replaced. That is the suction line. It carries heat from the evaporator inside your house to release through the condenser on the outside. Its insulated to keep from the condensation from damaging the inside of your home. There is no benefit to wrapping it other than aesthetics. Ive seen countless videos of people claiming it saves money by wrapping it vs it being unwrapped. That simply isn't true and no actual documentation can confirm it. On the other hand knowing how the refrigeration cycle works can dispel any myths about the insulation. I have 20 plus years as a hvac tech for reference.

@@luthergrant7336 I thought the smaller line did that. The thicker line is pretty darn cold. I appreciate the education. If you work in Florida, you’re most likely slammed right now as it is freaking hot!

@@RonKnowsStuff luther is correct. The big line is the return TO the compressor, however I'm not in total agreement about exposed copper being trivial. There is a fair amount of energy expended when water vapor condenses on something cold. Look how fast ice melts in a glass outside. The energy loss is small, but it's not trivial or zero. ALL energy put into the system has to be removed by the compressor's work so you can see even a little loss will eventually add up. You don't need documentation to prove it. You can observe that water is condensing, which means energy is expended. Again, it's not much but it's not zero.

@@RonKnowsStuff The refrigerant that is "ready" to do air conditioning is a very hot liquid and it's in the small tube. This heads into your house and right before the indoor AC evaporator coil it goes through an expansion valve where the pressure is reduced and the hot liquid passes into much larger tubes. As it expands and goes from a liquid to a gas it gets VERY cold VERY fast and absorbs heat from the coil and thus your air. The now cool (but not super cold) gas is sent back outside through the large pipe. This cool gas is still cold enough that moisture would condense on it and over time that moisture could rot the building materials of your house. Hence which is why you have that pipe insulation on it.

Definitely a must in Florida. I’m going to get one and do real world testing. Thanks for watching!!

Mrs RKS is more than delightful but she won’t come on camera! She’s very funny and definitely treats me better than I deserve. Thanks for noticing! And thanks for watching!!!

I have warnings all over the place. I need to do this as I have a bad shoulder- I do use a clutch on the drill which greatly reduces risk. Again - warning ! Try at your own risk as this is dangerous.

So true so true! I changed the spark plugs, flushed the transaxles with new fluid, adjusted the valves, and after the oil change - purrs like a kitten and runs like a tiger!!!

Oh no! Mine wasn’t stuck. Check the fuses to confirm power first. I didn’t see an emergency release like cars have but there should be an access panel to manipulate it open. Check KZbin for that. Sorry I can’t be of more service

Florida dealers are fun to deal with.

Yeah, I realized that later - you really can’t put it in upside down. I’ll look at it again but I didn’t see an option to pry the camera out so it was easier and less damaging to remove the panels. PLUS it gave me great content for the channel LOL! Thanks for watching. Feedback is appreciated

So you used the screwdriver to pry it out? I didn’t see that as an option. Great score on eBay. I always forget to check there.

@@RonKnowsStuff yes, I used a flat head screwdriver, I wasn't worried about the damaging the old switch and knew the new one would just snap into place. Maybe I should have made a video of how to replace the switch without removing any of the inside panels, you state in your video that you paid around $135 for something at the dealer, what was that for,?? the only thing I purchased was the switch for $14 on ebay.

@@pysooners1855 I bought the driver’s door seal from the dealership. They way over charged. It was a moment of weakness!

Pretty much!

Exactly! I couldn’t think of the name of that tool. I’ll have to remember Directional Slip Clutch. Thanks!!!

@@RonKnowsStuff Your welcome. I learned the hard way when it spun the chuck off my drill the first time I tried it. 😂

Yes I did but I failed to record it. It is easier than you think!

She loves it.

Thanks!!!

Well said!

Thanks! And Coco thanks you! I’ll do some more like this for sure. Maybe dig into how to value your trade in.

SV trim and yes 2.9 % apr for the loan.

SV trim

Florida is crazy too. I don’t get it. Be honest, make a fair profit, and you’ll make money and sleep at night. When I ran a sales team, my motto was: Take care of the customer and the customer will take care of the money!

Agreed! No turbos!!

I would think so but I’m too cheap to spend that much LOL

Should be able to so long as the starter isn’t engaged

We are enjoying it so far!

@@RonKnowsStuff hopefully the new transmissions are better than the CVTs were. Although we currently have a rogue with a CVT with 125k miles and it’s fine.

@@TheMrDamp I heard the newer generations of CVTs are much better.

@@RonKnowsStuff we have a 2015 rogue so it’s probably a later gen CVT after they worked out the major problems

Get a highlander instead. It will last a lot longer.

We sure will! Sorry for your loss

I’m afraid to ask but I think I know what you mean by recreational purchases…. On a side note, watch Andy Elliott - he’s a car salespeople trainer on KZbin. It helps you get into their head.

@RonKnowsStuff i got a guy for that. Already controls their heads. Car salesman have a bit of a reputation issue around here.
