Also unlike any flow chart that I’ve ever seen. Maybe that’s why I just can’t make heads or tails out of them. Old fart here.
BTW TK, I didn’t mean my comment in a negative way, but the first thing I like of is VanGogh when I see them. I take it it’s a personal way to make a flow chart? (if so, then there is nothing posted re: how to read them)
Personally, I’d say it’s more of a MC Escher thing for obvious reasons. But hey, if it actually works, it works. Thinking back on the old Convoy C8 right beside me here and the day I got it, this mode swap thing isn’t that hard, and as most said here, you set it once, you set it forever.
Seriously hope I win Miller’s latest GAW so I can get one of these now!
Oh dang Jack you are right i should have do a clear C8 as price for the GAW.
Well there probably is coming another GAW in the future and will think a little longer before starting it then
Even their own? I don’t see any problems with posting one’s own address as long as one is aware of how much spam they might be inviting…
… which, admittedly, could be quite a bit.
After two and a half decades on the internet and all sorts of forums and mailing lists and newsgroups and blogs and other public discussions, I’ve got nearly 1000 unique email addresses. So I ran some numbers on the past decade of logs on my email server. Not counting work stuff, I get an average of about 900 spam messages per day, and my server fends off about 2000 more email-based bot attacks each day. Of all that, only about one or two messages per day make it through all the filters. So ~99.8% filter accuracy. If I post my address in a public place, I do it with these things in mind.
Going by volume, the biggest offenders are bots which don’t even attempt to send any messages. After that, spam bots which harvest addresses from DNS (whois) records, then public mailing lists and web sites. The next-biggest offenders are companies who sell their customer lists to advertisers, and these are usually big companies, not little ones. (One nice thing about having a thousand email addresses is I can track who sold out or who got their data compromised.) Another big source of spam is acquaintances whose accounts or computers were compromised, so their address book was harvested. And Paypal, which is its own category because they send my paypal email address to each merchant I pay through them, so a lot of people have that address and I can’t track who is doing what.
I wouldn’t want to inflict that much spammy, scammy attention on anyone who isn’t prepared to deal with it… but with the right measures in place it’s not really a problem.
If the wires aren’t long enough to allow driver access, you’ll need to un-solder those from the emitter MCPCB before pulling the driver out. And in past years, some drivers were soldered into the pill… but I’m not sure if that’s still a thing these days. And if you have any stars soldered, that could interfere with flashing by grounding pins it needs for communication.
Otherwise, you can get more info about flashing by clicking the Link in my signature.
(hah, get it? Link? … Okay, screw you guys, at least I think I’m funny)
I bought a brand new F150 in 2013 and made the mistake of giving them my email address and cell phone number. Email spam I can handle, but several calls a day on my cell phone from different numbers, recorded message spam ranging from “this is your last warning that your car warranty is expiring”, tons of credit card offers, and “if you have at least 10k credit card debt we can help”… etc… My “block number list” has hundreds of phone numbers on it.
I can’t believe Ford is that hard up to sell off their customer’s personal data, but evidently they are.
If any of you think you are as internet savvy as ToyKeeper there is probably no real harm in putting your email address in a public forum.
However, if you do not have 1000 unique email addresses and a server setup with TK level protection please understand the risk involved with posting your email address in a public forum…
