2006 honda element towing capacity

I’m selling my evo and I am going to buy a true rally car with a roll cage and such, but because of this I need a daily. I’ve been offered 20k for the evo, so I am thinking of allocating 10k for my main vehicle, 3k for a trailer, and 7k for the new racing car. I’ve got the race car and trailer already set up. However I need something to tow it now. I am in Houston texas, I’d prefer manual, but it doesn’t bother me either way. I’d prefer if it had good gas mileage, but my priority is driver engagement. Another thing I would like is the novelty factor, I want to stay away from the sea of white crossovers. The two main ones I’m looking at is a 1990s Bronco and a second gen Honda CRV

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but here I go. Looking to buy a small trailer and stumbled upon a great deal on a 1976 Boler camper. The dry weight of it is roughly 1500 Lbs, I have access to a 2016 AWD Mazda cx3 getting conflicted numbers as to regards of me being able to safely tow this trailer. If you google the tow capacity it's 1200kg which is double then the weight of the trailer but else where I see its 1500lbs. Any one has prior knowledge in this? Can I safely tow this trailer and what would be my limit for the vehicle?

Hi all,
I've been doing some work on my civic and finally reached the limit of my capabilities and had a shop do the tie rods and alignment. I was told when I picked it up the alignment couldn't be done because the drivers front knuckle was bent too much. They recommended replacing the knuckle and bearing, but suggested that I source the parts.
For context, I've replaced the wheel bearing on this knuckle twice before I did the suspension work. I've replaced basically everything else for the front suspension: control arms, shock/struts, sway links/bushings, and todays inneouter tie rods. I can buy a new Honda genuine knuckle. Beyond the wheel bearing, is there anything else that would be recommended to replace at this stage?

I have found plenty of explanations of the different weight ratings of trucks (still very confusing) but I cannot quite decipher the towing capacity. No truck in particular, npr or nqr or whatever as long as it is overcab which usually means it's an Isuzu. I am having a really hard time getting any idea of TOWING capacities. Just the truck, no box, no bed, no load sitting on the back, just towing.
I just want to know what towing capacities different Isuzus have. How big do you have to get to reach the equivalent of an f250 or f350? Really I'm looking for numbers on how much I could tow with a given type of truck. Lmk if this is the wrong sub too.

I was unfortunately involved in an accident in NY. The other person made a illegal left across a 2 lane road (with double yellow) coming out of a parking lot and struck me on the passenger front wheel.The street is laid out with 1 lane with mostly street parking, 1 travel lane, and at that point there was a left turn lane, which I was on to make a left turn. There were some parked cars along the side of the street, as well as a car stopped on a the travel lane that obscured my view of him until he was on top of me. Everyone seems Ok, but neither car was drivable, probably broken/bent tie rods at mniumum as well as some body damage. I called the police and they will create a report that should be availbale in 5-7 days. I had called my own insurance thinking I had road assistance, but I didnt and tehy told me to call the other guys insurance to file a claim. I took some pictures of my own car and the other guys car as well as the street/parking lot entryway where the accident happened. Both cars are older cars (mine a 2006 Mini cooper conv with 85k miles and the other guys was a beater project 1994 BMW 325) I got the car towed to a shop and the shop owner told me to initiate a claim with the other guys insurance (State Farm). I filed a claim with state farm using their online utility. He said it looks like I have some suspension pieces that will need to be replaced as well as a whole bunch of body work (front bumper, trim, hood at minimum) but frame is probably ok. He said said he wont dig into it until I hear from insurance incase they want an adjuster to look at the car first.
My concerns are that insurance may decide to total the car (its a desirable, well maintained, low mileage car). If insurance doesnt pay for whatever reason, I may just have the suspension fixed so it is drivable and then source used parts to fix the body work myself.
I understand that its useful to have collision so insurance can fight this battle for me to get my car fixed, however i dont.. so what can I do now to protect myself and expidite this process to get my car fixed (or get to some kind of resolution).
Thanks for any recommendations.

In the day and age of micro machines and supermassive mining ships how do small smelters rain relevant?
Part of it is the amorphous, undefineable "human touch" seems to embu all their workpieces with. Some comes from trusting someone who can make mistakes to understand the process rather than a computer that understands nothing but executes flawlessly.
Most of it comes from the realm of humans' collective hobby of making bombs.
Fusion reactors are large and heavy when made by the design of an AI, fission reactors are bigger, heavier and consume some volatile materials. Some species will brag that they have zero point reactors taking advantage of the background noise of space. A few among the stars brag of sterling motors, energy harvesting substrates, metamaterials or some such esoteric technique.
Humans have their Solar Hammers to keep suns burning forever and putting out valuable elements but they are limited. Iron is the heaviest thing a solar hammer can pull, and those stations have to get their energy from somewhere right?
Humans have reactors that can be accurately called Atomic Decomposition Engines.
Not so much reactors as the reaction is less sustained than any other method commonly used. Instead these engines rely on channeling pulses of supercritical metallic plasma into ingected streams of fissionable and fusionable materials. The largest of these resemble simple turbine engines, collecting ambiant plasma and condencing it down into a fusionable material as fissionable material is fed into the continuous stream where it goes supercritical and ignites everything else.
Those are what power solar hammers, the magnetism and heat able to be channeled into a near solid beam of primordial ooze, where the star turns it into hydrogen and helium before further fusing it.
Why? Because there are two states that induce zero point sparking, one is the absolute vaccum of conventional small chamber arrays, the other known one is with high densities of naked quarks. The first is easy if you know how, the background sub electron scale buzz of short life particles is easy to observe and eventually harness to some degree.
The second is bottling a bomb fueled by anything physical enough to block it off.
This is what plasma reactors are, magnetic confinement of high power archs through supercritical heavy gasses.
Humans used another method, by detonating pre primed mixtures of fissile and fusion materials appropriate densities and energies can be achieved. But you have to relive that pressure quickly or it consumes/overpowers its containment. Part of that is fixed by only maintaining those conditions for minuscule amounts of time, another part is fixed by carefully formulating materials to withstand those stresses.
What does this have to do with family forges?
Everything.
Human power plants have never been standardized, not before interstellar colonization, never after. Each port has families serving it who have different materials available to use and different methods of achieving certain thresholds.
Design elements like occelating pistons pendulums or rotating blockages may only be present in certain systems and contoured blast channels may only appear in others. Each ship, wherever it is built, has a power plant commissioned to fit with the space and stresses allowed, some template ships simply having several exposed reactors.
The humans making these engines are dealing with unified fuels, or as close as exists for them, and local materials.
Balancing conductive elements along side fission and fusions suppressing isotopes is almost as important as including some form of kinetic output. Which is why each family makes their own models, the varying strength, conductivity, magnetism and corrosion resistance of all the locally available possibilities makes any unified design either unbearably restrictive or simply unachievable.
Thus human metallurgists have found roots around every star and aboard every colony ship, even in gate network systems. Thus ships are broadly built by whoever wants them wherever the capacity is appropriate, and each design optimized to use locally available stock.
Not everyone wants to build ships and so everything from chairs to guns are made with any scraps and spare parts to be sold to whoever wants a piece of home or likes the look.
Most species forget that modern smiths make their living finding ways to crystalize metal isotopes into stacking a consistent way, then bashing the malliable metal until the crystals grate on each other so much that specific region is brittle.
Modern smiths are engineers on the atomic level.
While the surety of machines is well and good, it falters with wavering supply stock. While AI are good at shaping things under specific constraints they cannot accurately account for all variables or remember obscure methods of accomidating unwanted stresses. Uniformity may result in predictable outcomes but humans defy the odds even in predictable battles.
Everything we throw away as unfit or impure humans find a way to use or sell or refine. The scraps of industrial waste become the blocks and slabs of civilian ingenuity. The theory's of old and antiquated models are studied for their flaws and insights to provide challenge to working, accepted theories.
This is why humans thrive, that and their insistence on treating disarmerment as a challenge to fight to the death.
Making a third motivation for their powerplants, they carry a primordial bomb in each and every independently powered ship. We do not lightly forget the lessons of the Javalin wars.

Am I being unreasonable here? Unrealistic? So I’m car shopping for a daily commuter that isn’t too expensive. I have a 100mile commute round trip again. Literally 1hr of straight road. I did this commute a year ago and put 20k+ miles on my truck in 5 months and I don’t feel like doing that again to any of my current cars since I did not anticipate this commute.
Im looking everywhere and these car prices make no sense to me. Im looking at 2005-2011 (reliable brands) and all of these cars are ran through asking for half their msrp? I established a Honda fit would be best for me but they’re all going for 9000$+ (clean title, can’t trust salvage in my area) and have 100k+ miles. I cant bring myself to spend that much on a 7+ year old car with that many miles. These things literally sold under msrp. Everything else is a 2005-2010 Corolla/civic with 130k + miles going for 7500+. Cars under 6000$ are borderline 1995-2006 with 120-200k miles idk how much id trust an older car with that long of a commute lol. Now the cheap cars under 4500 I have no faith in they’re all beat most listings are honest upfront and tell you they got issues.
I don’t know if I want to bite the bullet on a Honda fit or just finance a newer used car and getting whatever I want. I remember when I got my civic in 2018 I got that thing for 20k otd, and I could have grabbed a fit instead for about 17k. (This is why I have an issue paying 9k for a used Honda with 100K+ miles) lol
TLDR: spend 7-9k on a car that’s at least 12 years old, or put that towards a newer car 3-5 years old?

In December, my girlfriend was side swiped around the driver side front fender area. A tow company stopped at the scene and convinced her to take her car to their shop.
Mid March she finally got her car back BUT it has been having a lot of electrical issues. She drives a 2017 Honda Accord which has the fuse box located on the side she was hit. Her car's alternator has stopped working and been replaced at the dealer shop 3 times in the 2 months after getting the car back.Today, her car broke down again. I suspect its the same issue.
After the initial signs of a faulty electrical system (driver side high beams are very dim, turn signal randomly illuminating but not ticking, A/C turning off for a few seconds randomly, etc) She took the car back to the shop and they claimed nothing was wrong or they couldn't replicate the issue.
I have been trying to convince her to take it back to the shop to have them fix it but she refuses to as she worries they'll just mess it up even more and believe they have no idea what they're doing.
She is wanting to sell the car but it is almost paid off, fairly new, and right now seems like a bad time to buy. If she wont have the shop who worked on the initial insurance claim handle it what options does she have? Can she reopen the claim against the other driver or would she have to make a new one with her insurance?

What are a Pile and Pile Cap?

A pile is a long cylinder of strong material, like concrete that is pushed into the ground to provide a stable foundation for structures built on top of it. The following scenarios need the usage of pile foundations: When a layer of poor soil is present at the surface. Because this layer is unable to hold the load of the building, the loads must be transmitted to the layer of firmer soil or hard rock that lies beneath the weak layer.
📷
When a structure has a lot of large, concentrated loads, such as a high-rise skyscraper, a bridge, or a water tank. To create an appropriate stable foundation, a pile cap is a dense concrete pad that sits on concrete piles or timber piles put into the soft or less-strong ground that would otherwise need ground improvement. It is frequently found in the deep foundation of a building, usually a multi-story structure or at support level or heavy equipment, or in the deep foundation of a bridge.
The load of the building is distributed into the piles by the cast concrete pile top. A "raft," which is a concrete foundation floor sitting directly on soft soil that may be prone to subsidence, is a comparable construction to a pile cap.

Can Pile foundations withstand more weight than spread footing?

Yes, the load-carrying capacity of pile foundation is superior to spread footings. The pile foundation transmits the load to the hard strata.

What are pile caps and their functions?

Pile caps are dense reinforced concrete mats that sit over “concrete or wooden piles (driven, bored, or cast-in-place) to provide foundation stability. The major aim of the pile cap is to transmit the load of the columns to the underlying piles, which is usually too large for large buildings. The pile caps are tested and designed to withstand the load of the superstructure.
A rough foundation is a comparable form of foundation for pile caps. The load from the columns is carried directly through the raft to the mud straight in the case of the raft, which is a dense and broad RCC slab lying immediately at the base. The raft can only be utilised if the soil layer is stable and capable of sustaining large weights without failing; otherwise, piles and pile caps are typically used.

Features of Pile Cap

• The M25 mix is the minimal concrete grade that can be used to make heaps and pile caps.
• A full pile cap can be fitted intact in the case of minor piles, such as 2-3 piles.
• Casting is done in layers for larger pile caps.
• The column reinforcing bars are embedded in the pile caps up to the length of their growth.
• After casting, the pile caps are fixed for 28/29 days and the shuttering is detached, the adjacent soil is flattened and compacted using a compactor.
• When a number of piles are grouped, piles are constructed like a raft instead of piles.

📷

Shape and Size of Pile Caps:

Pile caps are dense reinforced concrete mats that provide foundation stability by resting on concrete or woodpiles (driven or bored and cast-in-situ). These pile cap sizes lower the amount of planning area required for a symmetrical pile layout in relation to the load. The pile cap should allow the outer pile to exceed a minimum of 150 mm, although it should not be excessive, typically not exceeding the pile's diameter.

Depth of Pile Cap:

The depth of pile cap is dependent on the following factors:

• Shear Capability of Pile Cap.
• Soil shrinkage and swelling.
• Frost attacks.
• Pile anchorage.
• Water table & soluble sulfates.
• Holding bolt assemblages for steel columns.

Because it is subjected to concentrated loads, the pile cap is usually deeper than the pad footing. This results in substantially stronger bending moments and shear forces. The additional depth, on the other hand, offers the pile top more rigidity, which helps transmit the load uniformly across all piles”.

What are the different types of Pile foundations?

Pile foundations are classed according to their function, materials, and installation procedure, among other factors. The types of piling foundations utilised in construction are as follows:

Depending on the Function or Use:

• Load Bearing Piles
• End Bearing Piles
• Friction Piles
• Sheet Piles

Materials and Construction Methods for Soil Compactor Piles:

• Piles of wood
• Piles of Concrete
• Piles of steel
• Piles made of composite materials

When should you use for bored piles and driven piles?

Driven piles are driven straight in and transmit the load by friction and/or bearing, whereas bored pier foundations are normally poured in place and transfer the load only through bearing Bored pier foundations are typically shallower than driven pile foundations.
When the top strata consist of degraded rock overlying strata of sound rock, bored pier foundations are preferred. It becomes difficult to drive bearing piles into the decomposed rock in this situation. Bored pier foundations can be easily erected in stiff clays that offer significant resistance to the drive of a bearing pile.

How do you size a Pile Cap?

The number of piles required to support the weight determines the plan dimensions of a pile cap. The shape and size of the Pile Caps are normally as below:

• Hexagonal for six to seven piles
• Triangular for three piles
• Rectangular for more than seven piles

How do you calculate Pile spacing?

The pile should be at least 3 feet wide, 3 feet across, and 3 feet tall in order to reach optimal temperatures (one cubic yard). That is the smallest compost pile that can generate temperatures high enough to kill weeds and pathogens, but smaller compost piles will also work less efficiently.

How to determine the thickness of the Pile Cap?

Determining the thickness of the Pile Cap plays a very important in the process of the Pile Cap Design. The thickness of the pile cap should be adequate enough to comply with the anchorage bond length parameters. As a thumb rule, if the diameter of the pile is less than 550mm, then pile thickness will be twice the diameter of the pile cap. If the diameter of the pile is more than 550mm, then pile thickness will be (1/3 (8 times of pile diameter - 600mm)).

How to Install Piling Caps?

Piling caps are available in a range of sizes. It is recommended to provide 26 sizes of piling caps in two shapes:

1. Round and
2. Square, ranging from 6 inches to 18 and a half inches.

To begin, make sure the pilings are at the height you want them to be. Before you measure for the piling caps, make any final cuts. Making cuts afterwards may change the measurement of the pile, resulting in a poor-fitting hat, so make any necessary changes to the heaps before measuring for and purchasing pile caps.

Innovation in Pile Cap Design:

Here are some innovations in pile cap design:

Post-tensioned pile caps:

Post-tensioning is a technique that involves applying tension to steel cables after the concrete has hardened. Post-tensioned pile caps use this technique to increase their strength and reduce the amount of steel required, resulting in a more efficient and cost-effective design.

Precast pile caps:

Precast pile caps are manufactured offsite and then transported to the construction site for installation. This method reduces construction time and can result in a more consistent and higher-quality product.

Modular pile caps:

Modular pile caps are designed to be easily assembled and disassembled, making them ideal for temporary structures or structures that need to be relocated. They can also be used to speed up the construction process, as they can be prefabricated offsite and then assembled quickly on-site.

Fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) pile caps:

Fibre-reinforced polymer FRP pile caps are made of composite material that is lightweight, corrosion-resistant and has a high strength-to-weight ratio. FRP pile caps offer a cost-effective solution for structures in corrosive environments, such as coastal areas or chemical plants.

Hybrid pile caps:

Hybrid pile caps combine different materials, such as steel and concrete, to create a more efficient design. They can be designed to maximize the benefits of each material while minimizing their drawbacks, resulting in a more sustainable and cost-effective solution.
Overall, these innovations in pile cap design have improved the efficiency, sustainability, and durability of structures, while also reducing construction costs and time.

Risks and Mitigation Measures of Pile Cap Design

Risk MitigationInadequate bearing capacity of soilConduct a thorough geotechnical investigation to determine the bearing capacity of the soil. Choose appropriate piles or improve the soil before construction.Inaccurate load calculationsUse accurate load calculations based on the actual loads that the pile cap will support. Verify the load calculations with a structural engineer.Poor quality of materials or workmanshipUse high-quality materials and ensure that the pile cap is constructed according to the design specifications. Conduct regular quality checks and inspections during construction.Settlement or heave of the foundationMonitor the foundation for settlement or heave during and after construction. Take corrective action if settlement or heave exceeds the allowable limits.Construction delays or budget overrunsDevelop a realistic construction schedule and budget. Use efficient construction methods and monitor progress regularly. Make necessary adjustments to the schedule and budget as needed.Environmental factors such as flooding, earthquakes or hurricanesConsider the potential impact of environmental factors during the design phase. Use appropriate materials and design techniques to withstand these events.
Like any other construction project, pile cap design comes with its own set of risks. Some common risks and mitigation measures of pile cap design are:
Overall, it is important to carefully assess and manage risks in pile cap design to ensure that the final product is safe, efficient and meets the required specifications. This can be achieved through careful planning, thorough inspections, and effective risk mitigation strategies.

I currently drive a 1500 Big Horn crew cab 5.7L and pull a 29’ travel trailer occasionally for my family of four. For a little more stability and payload capacity when towing, I’m thinking about buying a 2018 2500 Big Horn with 68k miles. 6.4L Hemi with the six speed transmission and 4.10 rear axle. I only put about 6k-7k miles a year on my trucks and could probably get the reduced down to about 5k. Most of my driving is local and low speed, I work only a mile from my house. I have two questions; what kind of longevity can I expect to get out of 2500 and is the 6-speed on the 2018 2500’s a good transmission? I know it won’t be as good as the 8 on gas mileage, but if gas mileage was my concern I would buy a Prius. I know there are a lot of variables in this equation, but speaking in general terms. Thanks.

Warning is you are sensitive to it, but this references child murder, and suicide.
Basic Synopsis is a public defender has been given a case to represent a high profile serial murderer, who has pleaded guilty. He still wants to do all he can to represent the client so there is no question when it comes to the verdict.
While its not gotten to the point in the script yet, he will question the client's capacity in the crime, is he crazy or is something supernatural at play, and if he pulls that thread he could risk letting an unspeakable evil live. But at the same time, the killer is requesting death? why?
Couple things I'm looking for:
1: Would this first act make you want to keep watching? 2: Does the legal elements at this point seem realistic. I don't expect a lawyer to chime in, but would an average viewer be like 'that never happens in the legal system'. 3: is this something you've seen before. Obviously some inspirations exist, but maybe something I haven't seen. 4: how is the dialogue? does it feel real?

This one. Add description:
Honda Accord 2,2i diesel CTDI, 103KW, 2006, traveled 207,000 km. Second owner, but like the first (brother is the first) service done every year, ie every approx. 10,000 km, all entered in the service book (except for the year in corona 2020-2021) when the car was running approx. 5000-6000km per year). Never crashed, inside preserved without significant damage. Continental summer and winter tires. Registered until April 25, 2024. Last summer, the clutch set and flywheel were changed, and in the fall, the belt on the alternator. Whoever buys this car will surely be satisfied.

Hello,
My 2018 Honda Clarity PHEV has an issue where the ICE turns on almost every morning and slowly drains my gas. I know normally in PHEV's that the ICE turns on every now and then if the engine has not been started for a while, but this happens to my Clarity almost every morning.
I did research a while back, and only found a couple people reporting the same issue. It was never resolved, but one person did mention the possible cause. For some reason with the Clarity, whenever the car regenerative brakes past the maximum full charge EV capacity, the ICE turns on. In other words, if my Clarity is fully charged at 55 EV in the morning and then I regenerative brake past 55 EV, such as 55.1, the ICE kicks in. I tested this theory and has been consistently true.
This has been going on with my Clarity for a couple years now. I almost never use gas at all, and the ICE turning on every morning and draining a couple miles of gas each time has literally drained my gas from full to empty at least twice since my ownership of the car.
I found some workarounds to this issue by noting the EV number in the morning, and making sure the regenerative braking does no past that number by putting the car into neutral when coasting to a stop so that the car doesn't regain energy.
I took my car to a Honda dealership once to see if maybe there is a software update that can fix the issue, but of course the employees had no idea what I was talking about and had little to no knowledge on the Clarity, so they quoted me $160 JUST to check to see if there is a software update available. Obviously I declined and just left.
I did check to see if there is a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) for this issue, but could not find any. Does anyone know how I can resolve this ICE issue? Or if there is a TSB that I can bring to a Honda dealership for a software update that will fix this issue?
Thank you.

(c) Conducting Arbitration and Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by these Official Rules. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. A party who wishes to start arbitration must submit a written Demand for Arbitration to AAA and give notice to the other party as specified in the AAA Rules. The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org. Any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) where you live, unless we both agree to a different location. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to decide all issues relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability and scope of this arbitration agreement.
(d) Arbitration Costs. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules, and we won’t seek to recover the administration and arbitrator fees we are responsible for paying, unless the arbitrator finds your Dispute frivolous. If we prevail in arbitration we’ll pay all of our attorneys’ fees and costs and won’t seek to recover them from you. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law.
(e) Injunctive and Declaratory Relief. Except as provided in 11(b) above, the arbitrator shall determine all issues of liability on the merits of any claim asserted by either party and may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. To the extent that you or we prevail on a claim and seek public injunctive relief (that is, injunctive relief that has the primary purpose and effect of prohibiting unlawful acts that threaten future injury to the public), the entitlement to and extent of such relief must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. The parties agree that litigation of any issues of public injunctive relief shall be stayed pending the outcome of the merits of any individual claims in arbitration.
(f) Class Action Waiver. YOU AND SPONSOR AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, if the parties’ Dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate another person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution and Arbitration section shall be null and void.
(g) Severability. With the exception of any of the provisions in Section 11(f) (“Class Action Waiver”), if an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction decides that any part of these Official Rules is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of these Official Rules will still apply.
