RIGHT, those new programable PCMs are soooo cool! I first saw the PDM28 (they have smaller ones also) by Hardwire Electronics a couple years ago. VERY cool. Expensive but probably worth it in the long run, and I do want to stop using standard fuse and relays. Okay, so, for the not yet informed...

I can't wait to see one of their trucks on the road, or just get a clean review - very interesting sector. LOVE 'BYOD' methodology - exactly correct, that's our philisophy. Stubs and plugs for you to add whatever fits your Jeeping lifestyle. I got a request from a Atlanta Jeep club member...

Other than the most obvious of observations that conjure visions of you angerly typing on a coconut keyboard made by the Professor on Gilligan's Island (I was always hot for Mary-Ann, not Ginger), I will declare right now, I will have no gratuitous tech in my EV Jeep conversion builds. Now, I...

The root of all evil is interference and lack of empathy to ones fellow man. It's the lack of imagination and patience to fully understand the natural state of all thing is change - for which the ONLY plausible 'cure' is adaptability. Hence: Adapt or die. Not cell phones. (not land lines...

I'm pretty sure @jjvw meant luddite in a loving way...I could be wrong.... Funny story, AC does NOT need any real smarts to run. I only know that because I didn't know a single thing about AC and controls and flap door vacuum or actuator doors but now I do. Like: I had to design a real...

God, are you guys cheating, bugging my mind...? So, in this early phase of R&D >to> internal Kit >to> refined modular User Installable Kit, the path is using ONLY what's on the Jeep from the factory PLUS the motor swap to EV. Stock TC bolted to either the stock manual transmission or to a...

Interestingly, I tend to over think stupid small stuff when I should be focusing on production. Apparently, I harbor some deep seated belief that the engine bay should have varying degrees of symmetry and clean design. Maybe it's some sorta' childhood trauma associated with my love of vintage...

Say more please. If OD = Over Drive, I'm a tad lost, explain. - Patrick

Apparently, I've lost complete control of this thread. So be it, but look at this, my new shop with Jeeps in it. The white one is a 1976 CJ-5. I didn't want to take it but the owners tugged on my heartstrings with 'This is our family Jeep and now that out son is 21, he wants to drive it BUT...

More golf claps for 'luddite' and 'diatribes' - great words, super fun insults. - Patrick

<<< what he said...less, simplier, but, some PLC stuff (PLC - Programable Logic Controller stuff, aka, little tiny computers, Arduino, Pi, nice things...)...

Ummmm, is this a bad time to bring up my eventual option of offering telemetric views of your EV Jeep, for the following: - Charge status (SoC - State of Charge) - Remote start - Remote KILL (someone might steal it, I don't know, ) - Mi/kW/$ - tracking the cost of each mile, a MPG type thingy...

Personaly, I'm just so happy someone on this site used the word 'deleterious', golf clap to you @freedom_in_4low!

So, look @Zorba , I failed to see the group ragging on you about this, I PROMISE, I was just kidding and that I will scroll down before I comment or pile on. Sorry about that. BUT, I think you might consider the idea that we only use stupid computers, HeathKits, strictly 8080 chips, none of...

I don't know @Zorba , most people have phones and I was thinking this cheap, embedded camera would be BT enabled so, an easy grab. But, yes, if someone installed a nice digital dash of almost any kind, you could plug it in to that such that you could see inside you back battery box with ease...
