    Flight documents show MH370 was ‘buried in an ocean trench by pilot’, says Boeing expert

    This will be my last response as we’re completely off topic. 65kw peak, 3.5kw average. 3D Phased Array. No idea. 100k feet, 254NM. L band, 1215-1400mhz. 216 low stack/72 high stack. 2.2 square meter RCS. Theoretically 3000KTAS. All via Google.

    75w90 auto oil in LU

    It’s only fine if your seals are in good shape. Questionable seals would mandate marine lube in my mind. I beleive ASTM testing for marine lubes is up to 15% water intrusion by volume and still pass. I doubt an automotive gear lube would handle that.

    No. Which leaves only one option.

    Lots. But surveillance radar isn’t one of them. It has been public knowledge for decades. Seen: none. Reported: A fair amount, but very few that can’t be explained by known phenomena

    We can get primary (non-transponder) returns from almost any aircraft at 100 miles from the antenna site on ARSR. Even flocks of geese and wind farms. It gets progressively worse further from the antenna site. I think the operational range limit is ~280NM

    There is nothing special or classified about ARSR.

    Looking at Pontoons, know nothing about them, what to buy?

    I 2nd the advice to max out the HP rating. Not much to go wrong with pontoons except rotted decking.

    Have you owned a vehicle for 15 years without internal engine problems

    Yes. Multiple vehicles in fact. OEM specified lubricants over OEM specified intervals is all that 99% of engines will ever need. The likelihood of something else taking an engine out in 15 years that’s not lubricant related is exponentially high. That’s why from Pennzoil’s standpoint this is...

    2023 Colorado/Canyon 2.7 Turbo EPA fuel mileage ratings released.

    I personally would never hook up 7k to this truck. In the same breath I’d never hook up 10k to a 1500 either I towed my fishing boat (about 4k loaded gear & fuel) all over KS and OK. The 3.6/8spd is perfectly paired. Lock it out of 8th and it purs along in 6th and 7th almost intuitively.

    2023 Colorado/Canyon 2.7 Turbo EPA fuel mileage ratings released.

    The Colorado 3.6/8 speed combo is darn near perfect. I routinely averaged 19.5-20 mixed, has TONS of power for the combo, and tows 7k. It’s the one truck I actually regret selling. I can’t imagine the 2.7 turbo would be desirable here when offered against the 3.6. Thirsty small displacement...

    Mobil 1 FS 0w40, RAM 1500 5.7L HEMI 6000 mi, high FE

    If you were going to have a lifter failure, it would have happened by now or at least be showing signs. While an individual UOA is statistically worthless, it does nevertheless mirror the oft quoted assumption that Hemis love moly.

    Running a two stroke at 60:1 or 70:1

    Somewhere between 32:1 and 50:1 is what I aim for in my equipment with an FD oil and non-ethanol fuel. It smells like a 2-stroke. 🤷🏻‍♂️
