Camped @ Charlie Brown this weekend.
Smoked a HUGE pork butt, brisket, two whole chickens,
rack of St. Louis ribs, and a dozen chicken thighs.
Drank a 12 pack of "GREEN MONSTA" ipa.
It was a good couple of days.

Apparently taking the alternator connector off and filling it with dielectric grease puts me back to 13.8v. Sweet

Morning Justin and all the other chapter members.

Brought the F250 in and they made some adjustment. All under warranty. I've had real good luck with Monaco Ford over in Glastonbury. Took it in yesterday morning and was done at noon. I don't know if you get that type of service with a Prius, Tom

I guess I have to mow the front lawn later today. Got the back yard yesterday. Bought a Weber Grill with all stainless steal innards. I guess that means hamburgers tonight.

What were they adjusting? I got a new set of tires for free last time I had the Prius in for service.

Adj. was PCM and TCM. (soften shift and Lag of tranny).

New tires??? Do you mean to say tire wore out prior to warranty or maybe just bad tires on your Prius. lol

Nah, I was complaining about a vibration and they wanted to rule out the tires. They had lots of tread left. Those aren't covered under warranty anyway, the dealer ate the cost.
