Got an E.V? Watch out for this! I found this bucket with a chunk of steel in it on an off ramp here in Texas. Fortunately, I saw it in time and avoided running over it. But this is a stark reminder that if you have an EV you need to watch out for debris in the road and not run over and puncture your battery.

    How much fuel is wasted/saved by the 'smart alternator? Anyone know? This seems to be a manufacturer decision, not regulation since most cars and trucks do not use the smart alternator system. Or do they all use them but have a much better design than Nissan/Infiniti. I never had this type issue with any car except with my Armada.

      I have a 2019 Armada and I disconnected mine. I have never noticed any decrease in fuel efficiency so I doubt this smart charger even saves that much fuel to be honest. You wanna know how to save fuel ⛽ on these trucks? Keep your foot off the gas pedal lol 🤣. These are massive trucks with big engines so they naturally get bad gas mileage. I love my truck so much I'm at 71k miles and only issue is stupid washer fluid sensor keeps saying low fluid even though it's full. I heard if you clean sensor it will fix it and not to use washer fluid with ethanol in it. I'm going to try to clean mine if it doesn't work then I'll buy new sensor but not really a big deal either way just annoying. Good luck let me know if u need help 💪

      If it's a rental-provided unit like ours is (Sparkletts/Primo) then I would have your supplier bring out another unit. If you own it outright then more investigation needed. Loose fasteners, O-ring in connection, or perhaps a dispensing valve that needs replaced.

      Open the top and check if the steam valve cover is filled with water. You might just need to release the water by opening the drain plug in the back of the unit into a bucket (after it's cooled down).

My garage is my "gas station." Summon mode. Keep mode. Camp mode. Dog mode. Furry friend stays cool when I have to go into store. No brake jobs (regenerative braking). No transmission. Smooth, quiet acceleration. Costs 25% of gas to charge. Excellent navigation. Full self driving.

    Any ideas on how to remove the red cover to access the brushes in the motor? It requires the wheels and axle to be removed so the cover can slide out, since the axle supports pass through them. However, it seems the wheels were not designed to be removed after manufacture. I was thinking I might just cut the axle in the middle and put a sleeve to connect them afterwards, but maybe the better way works be to just slot and notch the red cover so it can slide off the supports. I must be missing something though, because it would be ridiculous that the cover can't be removed for the maintenance it requires for the brushes. Especially since they're exposed to the snow through the vents in the cover, promoting corrosion on the brush connectors. When I opened it up, it was packed with snow so around the motor, which can't be a good thing. What am I missing? 🤔 I measured the brushes and they were 7mm x 11mm, length about 20mm. I ordered some generic brushes 7x11x18, which I'll try as replacements when they come in.

    • @silverstake88

    • @silverstake88

      Ok, sorry for the late reply. The axle is secured using push cap nuts. I found a video showing how to remove/replace these. It's a great question you posed as I have to replace the motor as the brush assembly completely broke off shattered and melted. I will do a video today or tomorrow and show how to access. Here is link for the nut removal: ua-cam.com/video/1M6p46Qp3XM/v-deo.html

    • @wingerrrrrrrrr
      @wingerrrrrrrrr 2 роки тому

      @@silverstake88 The methods shown are all well and good except Toro has them inside a recess of the plastic wheels, so it defies my cutoff saw or using sufficiently hefty pliers to grab them. It would take a finer approach like drilling or a Dremel tool to get it to release its hold without melting down the plastic wheel. I might try drilling first and then see if a slide hammer might work, but it's pretty tiny and a screw likely wouldn't be able to get in far enough to grab it. Plan B is to slice the plastic cover to slide it sideways past the axle supports rather than straight up off them. I'm thinking that will make for easier maintenance down the line for future brush replacement anyway, rather than fussing with the silly push nut design. If I do remove the wheel, I'll drill a hole in the axle for a cotter pin or even tap some threads on the axle to use a nut, which is how they *should* have done it. For sure I'm not going to put another push nut on it 🙃

    • @wingerrrrrrrrr
      @wingerrrrrrrrr 2 роки тому

      I've gone with the cut the axle in half approach, there's absolutely no way to remove the push nuts while they sit in the recess of the wheel. I slotted the push nut with a cutoff wheel, and removed the top entirely, but that doesn't help one bit, as the sides are still corrosion welded to the sides. I've got it off now, and threaded the cut rod ends with a 3/8" die. If I can get a coupler nut I'll use that to reconnect it afterwards, or weld two nuts that I have in hand to make a coupler.

      Thanks for your posts. I also wanted to get the wheels and red cover off so that I could take a look at the brushes. I wound up drilling a 1/8 inch hole in one push cap and then I kept increasing the drill bit size until the top of the cap was gone. At that point, I sprayed pb blaster in there and while prying out on it with a screwdriver, I was able to use channel locks to wrestle it off. Not pretty but it worked. My brushes appeared to be good and so did my belts but the machine is not working the way it used to, any ideas??? Also was the brush connection soldered on there? I couldn't tell. Thank you!
