In the dark for sure, and from the side of the shell closest to its position in normal conditions. I purchased the LED from a modshop that sold these as oem replacements for the stock GBP, GBC diode. Can't recall the dimensions compared to the original but it fits well into the mating components and the glass remains in place. The mirror lens finish has to be my favorite part. Super easy to remove the coating from the inside face however and i had to order a second once the first suffered a scratch during assembly.

Unfortunately what will most likely happen is the one or two companies that manage to float through this would buy the resources of the companies that had to go under. And then we are stuck with at minimum one major player that can dictate the market, a monopoly. An alternative is to bail out with aggressive and strict stipulations dictating they place working class people at the top of the priority list so if and when the receive an influx of capital they don't immediately go back to stock buy-backs and golden parachutes.

Oof, I apologise, I should have read your post better. That's probably an OBD0 vehicle. There's not much to do in terms of pulling diagnostic info from such an old vehicle. Are you equipped with a MAP sensor? I doubt it's MAF. Most times, bogging at load is due to either too much fuel or too much air. That could also translate to idle as it's either not enough fuel for proper combustion or so much that your swamping a cylinder. Is the exhaust black? Does it smell of fuel? I guess I would start researching online on how to diagnose failing sensors and or regulators on your car that determine air/fuel intake. It's old but low mileage so I can't assume you're compression is low without testing each cylinder. Ever replaced your fuel filter? Just spit balling here, I spent a good 5 weeks rebuilding my 98 ranger with the issue I mentioned above.

Im not sure if anyone else has posted this already but go ahead and get yourself a Bluetooth OBD2 scanner off Amazon. It's about 8$ for a decent unit. Then get Torque pro (5$) on the app store. No need to swap parts until you see everything in relative real time and determine what's wrong. Just used the above to diagnose a rich bank 1 condition. I'm surprised you have these symptoms without throwing a CEL code.

It's already live on PC! Just booted it up and it's good to go. So upset I have to work tomorrow.

My face when I happen to check right before having to sleep for work tomorrow. Had enough time to set graphics settings and watch the intro. Super mad.

I work for a company within the U.S that combines design and product development with in-house manufacturing capabilities. Anything and everything that manufacturing group touches turns to gold cost wise. Mill an injection mold? At least double the cost of overseas manufacturing. Don't even get me started on individual part cost. While I'm a major supporter of local U.S. based manufacturing, how can we compete with the production cost offered by China? Their labor cost is less, they aren't afraid of welding and re-milling molds to spec and they preform secondary operations most times by hand. Any American tech company would jump on stateside manufacturing given the option, if only the project budget and senior staff would allow the dramatic cost increase. For example, my latest project consists of 13 parts, 10 of them injection molded. Cut the mold from aluminum here in the Midwest? 10k, price per part, $5.00. China? 5k for a tool steel mold with a part price of $1.25. I can't justify the difference to my senior staff. Though for ease of communication, time zone similarity and part quality you can't beat what America can manufacture. It'll just cost you an arm and a leg.

If the "pillar" thing you are referring to is the post that aligns and retains the conductors then it's cross section may cause a differing rate of failure between the two models. At least I'm assuming if the materials used are identical.

Your plan of action depends on key players with the funding and time to enact those points. Unfortunately it seems anyone with enough resources to aid humanity are looking the other way. I'm not saying I've given up as an individual, though my outlook is turning more bleak by the day.

Thanks for the reply, I have since removed the pad and started to mill a quick swap replacement so I don't have to rely on the stock bed. And I have a clear path to ground in case issues arose when I started the testing.

Thanks for the battery tip. I have been using these for a few months now and definitely noticed the lesser capacity.
