    Used truck market at standstill??

    Ya my brother has been selling $150k 25' "fishing" boats like crazy for past couple years on west coast of Florida. Not moving many trucks, but those who don't need to borrow money to buy toys, seem to be doing okay.. And the banks be doing 15yr notes on boats.. But he did come off his F250 2019...

    Used truck market at standstill??

    You are correct, the market is soft right now. I have friends and family in the business, and we were talking about it last weekend. But think it's more to do with inventory and interest rates. We went several years where ya couldn't go walk on the lot an buy a new truck with options ya want. So...

    Watched an old youtube video on history of the supercar, and specifically Callaway's C4 Sledgehammer. Which held top speed shootout record by a production car for some 25 years. Reeves Callaway basically stumbled into the business by building a turbo kit for his own car, a BMW 320i which ended...

    Reason I'm thinking we load this one up using HPT, and then I pry the that full bin back out of it by any means possible.

    That would likely get ya from Zanesville to Marietta Ohio quicker than a canoe. But once ya hit the mighty Ohio, you'd be barge bait in that contraption.. Tug caption would see that, "just another busted dock to mow over..."

    Glad to hear it's somewhat stable. Now we can move to fudging data or hacking the TCM into submission. I'm gonna go hit it with HPT and see what options they have. I have that T87 MPU and what looks to be some SWD pins staring at me on this board. If we can kill some DTC's using any tool, and...

    Back when we had the first Duramax boat, I had this grand plan one day to see how far up your way I could get on the Muskingum river. The answer was, not even into the first lock chamber. Maybe in the spring with some good water flow, or on a flats boat with a jack plate today. But when I...

    So what's your weekend update on the VR conditioner @Cougar281 ? I have a couple more of those on my desk, in case you break that one again.. Sent it in a bulletproof case, thinking that would suffice... ;) We used those old school thru-hole 220 Ohm resistors as pull downs on all 3 [Load]...

    I only soldered the terminals, so... Resistor was guy before me. If ya ever want to start a good flaming topic, bring up solder vs crimping on the milspec harness group over on FB. The space/aircraft guys are totally crimp everything. To which I always bring up, that $10 crimp connector goes...

    T87 Swaps

    Super.. I kept stepping those up to see what level it took cause a High Circuit code, then backed em off.. However with that VSS Open (Permanent) never clearing on the bench, I knew it would take a couple minutes running time to tell if they were happy as set. You rolling T87 on 06 OEM sensors...

    That little skip at the end of each square is the mosfet closing to slowing. Rather than just ON/OFF 5v signal, it's closing the switch to slow and leaves that trailing edge. Edit: Or were you speaking of this skip? The first screenshot above of A50 replicated signal is basically a -5v to...

    Loaded up the latest pico software, along with your log files. Think I found our TOS issue. Don't recall the A50 output being -4v to +4v peak to peak pattern, but that scope typically doesn't lie. Then a blind squirrel could spot our main problem pretty easily. A50 VR Conditioner I...

    Ok we're on the right path.. Just keep your scope connected, and loggg more data ... :D If it's voltage level, lets add a little more resistor in the TOS line and see how acts.

    Engine Oil Cooler Kits

    As most of you know, I run monster 3" dia by 24" long liquid to liquid to oil coolers on the marine builds. With the PPE 12AN block adapter, [which I have one that I keep kicking around under my desk if anyone needs] feeding the cooler and HP6 filter head. While I typically don't run stock...

    Well it shifted gears, that's progress in my book. :geek: I replayed the logs a few times, and the turbine and output shaft speeds looks pretty solid. Didn't notice any jumps or drops, so guessing it's TOS jumping around is noise related. The 5v patterns looked good on bench, so would like to...

    My kid showed up in his truck 5 minutes after I took that photo. Said just about that same thing.. But he didn't write me up at least, he's off work this week. LOL. I had decent excuse however, the grade was steep, with gravel, and I didn't trust the E-brake or park latch in this 16 Dodge...
