You guys have some really nice toys you're towing there! :dunno:

 

I tow two snowmobiles and a seadoo. I don't have any pictures as of yet :D I'll have to work on that. You guys make me jealous though with all your toys.

I only towed it once and it was from next to the garage to the back of the property for the winter, so that's the only picture I have for now. There is two feet of snow now around the trailer. Can't wait for May to arrive to start camping again.

Man, usually anything I tow is just junk or for the house... (furniture etc). Haven't really towed any of the toys yet... no car trailer for the Corvette, it is stock so it's a driver anyway... though I do plan on taking it to the track and making an auto crosser out of it eventually.

 

Same with the bike... only time I have towed it is when there is too much snow on the ground or it needs a trip to the shop because it isn't running. Didn't think to take pics of that since it's embarrassing :lol:.

 

Nice looking toys everyone! Love the classic cars and big campers! And I agree that Camaro racing is a GREAT shot!

Found this thread while looking for input on brake controller. I tow my sled trailer but plan to upgrade it to a 14' enclosed over the summer with ebrakes. When I go it alone, I just put it in the pan. My sled sticks out a little .. but not a big deal.

 

Filthy after a 3 hour trip up north ...

Here is my old rig pulling my new 27' (inside) snowmobile trailer.

Brake controller aught to be pretty simple on that rig. I just installed a Tekonshaw P3 on my 09 Suburban in about 10 minutes time while I was out in Wyoming. I do sell them if your interested. gobigparts.com

Not the best picture in the world, but here's the '09 a day after I bought it. I dragged the wheelers 3.5 hours north for a week of riding. I'm not sure that was part of the break in procedure, but oh well...

Not to long after I got my truck I we had a lot of rain and I was talking to a friend about how much fun driving thru the puddles was. He responded with how much he hated all the rain and asked if I'd help him get his truck to the shop cause if couldn't handle the puddles.

    • Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
    • Paid $2.72 for E85 today.
    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
