Those are big issues.
I had similar problems with my 2003 thunderbird, in the end the PCM was the problem, has had water in it.
Replaced the PCM, coded it according VIN and was good to go.

Brilliant video, Bob. So much easier to follow than any printed manual.

Looks great! If it's possible to get in on this, sign me up!

TexasTraveler 10-06-2020 09:09 AM

Bob please put me on list for round 2...

There was a question about when you order the 3D print,
Either print technique SLS nylon or HP MJF nylon will do,
HP MJF is slightly sensitive to the print orientation, this is best printed as you download it from my website, Z-axis up.
It will then be printed upside down, and the first printed surface will have the best looking finish.
SLS is not sensitive to print orientation, but has a more open structure (it is "sintered").
MJF is slightly more economical.
Some print companies offer polishing and dyeing or painting after printing.
Other print techniques are not recommended.
When ordering you can use the below pictures for sizing.

2nd round list so far:
1 arenaej
2 jtdii123
3 Paulgorringe
4 Retrocket
5 Retrocket
6 Ralphwg
7 StiggyMac
8 TexasTraveler

When finally ordering you understand what is written in post #420.

Great to see more people signing up for the ADU. You guys will not be disappointed! The peace of mind of having a constant coolant temperature reading is amazing.

Hi Guys, I'd appreciate a bit of Assistance.
I'm ready to Order the Fabricated Housing for Bob's Display Monitor, but am a bit shaky regarding Procedure. It seems I'm not grasping an essential.
As I understand it... the instructions are:
1. I go to Bob's Site and download the Specs for the Procedure.- Z axis Up - (However, these seem to lack detail. They aren't nearly as detailed as Bob's illustrations posted today, )
2. I Select a Fab Vendor from supplied list & choose desired method (probably HP MJF via Craftcloud, polished & dyed, as outlined by arenaej, in post #426)
3. I upload and transfer Bob's Specs via Vendor/Fabricator's instructions .
( Is this designed to be easily done via a straight download of the Bob's file, that to me, seem to lack the detail of his illustrations. Is there added details present in the download that aren't apparent, or accessible by me ?) Should I simply submit Bob's instructional illustration direct , as an acceptable replacement ? ....or fill in the blanks by typing in the Specs, myself ?
SEEMS I'M MISSING SOMETHING or my computer(Acer - w. Windows 10 Home) isn't showing details that are present.....Confused.
Any thoughts / Advice.
.Thanks

I’m no expert... I went to the Craftcloud site, uploaded the zip file from Bob’s site, they provided a quote that offered the polished and dyed options. I paid via PayPal, received an email confirmation and it should arrive in a week or so. I’ll let you know what arrives.🤷‍♂️

These images came in the email confirmation from Craftcloud. Looks right to me.

Retrocket 10-06-2020 05:34 PM

arenaej, Sure does look right.. Thanks for responding,
As mentioned, I was influenced by your posted experience w.:Craftcloud. It rang the bells... ease of ordering, polished & dyed, good price, etc, You seemed v. satisfied. Glad to hear that their confirmation follow-up also meets with your expectations, I appreciate that you posted such results.
arenaej, the problem was never Bob's layout or directives; rather it's my own ineptitude in deciphering tech based instructions & procedures. Having little exposure to such tasks, I tend to doubt my execution.

When I opened the file, it seemed sparse in comparison to the illustration... almost none of the dimensions present.
Not knowing if, as viewed, it was sufficiently coded for the Fabricators needs. I figured that I was either missing a step in the process, or
maybe my laptop wasn't showing all the info that was present. I figured, better to ask for guidance, than plow on without conviction.
Would you mind confirming, by walking me through your ordering process.
Was ordering as simple as...
1. I go to Bob's Site and download the Specs for the Procedure.- Z axis Up.
2. I Select a Fab Vendor from supplied list.
3. I upload and transfer Bob's Spec Drawing via Vendor/Fabricator's instructions , and include MJF method & finishing options, desired.
4.-Pay, and await delivery.
Again , is the more detailed info present in the illustration, not needed ?
Thanks
Bill

Retrorocket...Based on the results I’ve seen from the first group I chose to trust the process. I’ve never ordered anything 3D printed before, and since I’m retired and living a pressure free life didn’t overthink it. I downloaded the 3D Print STL File from Bob. Looked at the list of potential vendors, checked pricing from a couple of them and settled on Craftcloud. Once the zip file was uploaded-no mention of z axis up- the site asked what the file measurements are in...it’s millimeters. Then you have choices of material... I followed Bob’s recommendation. Options were offered...polished finish ...dyed black. Paid via PayPal and done. Since my last post on this I received another email from Craftcloud saying my order is in production. I’ll have this long before Bob closes out the phase 2 list so there’s time to fix it if something isn’t right. I’ll assume it’s good until I learn otherwise...

Retrocket 10-06-2020 06:51 PM

Good enough for me, arenaej. I'll trust the process.
Thank You for responding, and sharing your positive experience.
It's appreciated.

Awesome work Bob! Do only the 5.0's have a boost reading??

Here's a quick video I took.

The Vgate Icar Pro will not connect with the obd doctor app. However it does connect with Torque Pro. I have been unable to locate any information on this problem either by contacting the address they supply in the package or on the web. Two questions; Any suggestions? Or will this setup work with torque pro. My phone is a Galaxy Note 20.
