Texass is having problems because they didn’t want to be on a national power grid. They thought they could do it better. Well not everything is better in Texass.

They build their own wind turbines in TX and kept saying, it’ll never freeze down here, even after many real experts, who build wind farms in Canada gave them a way to prevent exactly what is happening.

Texass still believes it’s a sovereign state, and doesn’t need the help of the Fed. And their people are suffering now because of it.

Dang,

Thanks for the info jeff. Though its POSSIBLE to do what they want ( be independent) they didnt do it very well.

So they turned down HELP from wind mill experts eh? Thats odd.

I hope that’s for the 5 qt jug and nap a single quart. That’s the same as the normal price at Amazon. If you track it using camelcamelcamel you will find it frequently for $20 for 5 qts.

After having spent a decade or so in TX, that attitude is typical. “We don’t need anyone coming here telling us how to do things”

It’s more than their power grid that’s built that way too. Traffic systems, water, gas, and other utilities.

Look up ERCOT, and you will see the part of Texass that it covers is the same area that’s without power.

The eastern power grid offered to build a superstation to tie into ERCOT but the last I heard they were turned down.

One of the best tools Ive ever bought. My old Frontier was basically impossible to get air free because of the cooling system design.....bought that funnel, filled it with coolant and let the engine run until no more air was coming back into the funnel. Done and dusted in half an hour, after 10 times of trying to factory procedure.

Yep - this is why my negative comments. Chrysler was a plaything to extract profits from, nothing more.

The Frenchies got ahold of my profitable division, wrecked it, and fired most of us. Wonderful. It's all better now - for the executives they bribed, that is.

Thanks!

Jeff gave me some advice. If i have time on lunch break i will take the cap off and go park on a hill (passenger side up) and let the truck run for a bit. See if she burps.

You're welcome.

You should have seen how many times I tried that with my Frontier. Parked at end of driveway with wheels on street and engine aimed up the driveway, and vice versa. Still didnt really help (the Frontier cooling system design was horrendous....like 8 hoses mounted to the underside of the intake manifold....how the hell do they expect to get coolant all the way up there lol)

damn this was my first hearing that French took over FCA. Of course the people who "gave us the statue of liberty" would want to tear down everything Mopar is, and replace it with sub par junk. Just like the Statue of liberty was Frances idea of freedom, not ours, so will go Mopar. Your huddled masses wasn't designed to make America better, neither is France tearing down Mopar.

I guess FCA isn't calling the shots anymore.

common man you know they will bring it back in an electric version that will kill it on paper, lol.
Makita-mobiles don't do it for me, no matter what the numbers are.

My cousin was a draftsman at Mack Truck back when Renault took over. Not good. My buddy was at AMC/Jeep when they took that over. Not good. They simply do not understand the American market, and/or are blinded by their arrogance.

I'm so clueless, I had no idea what all this Stellantis talk was about, lol. This is their stated goal, my last joke has more truth to it then I even thought at the time...

The company has 400,000 employees, a presence in more than 130 countries with manufacturing facilities in 30 countries.[6] The group plans to have 39 electrified vehicles available by the end of 2021.

I swear these numbwits just don't get it. Think what is happening in Texas and CA is a fluke? This will be imported to every town USA. Talk about putting the cart BEFORE the horse!!! If you numbwits want to make electric vehicles because of your captain save-a-ho bulljive, why not make the electric grid able to accept this strategy FIRST.

My buddy had the right idea, he bought 40 acres well north of this ses pool and is planting a olive grove. Put his home inside a steel barn, lol. Everyone is laughing at him, he will get the last laugh this I promise you.
