I was going to start a thread about my Ranger builds but had a type-o in my title after I submitted it. I checked the edit option but didn't see where I could correct my title.

Thanks a million! I played around with the editing feature but couldn't fix it. I'll see if I can dig up my pictures I've already got'em in photobucket.

I had 4 wheelers for several years and in 2006 I decided to move into a side x side off road vehicle and after buying our first one and fixing it up a little it turned into a hobby. I started fixing them up riding them a while and then selling for a new project. I would usually always add lift kits, tires & wheels and anything else I could come up with, here's a few pics.

 

I started in 2006 with this Ranger XP by building a rear cage, seats and a cooler holder for our twin girls to have a decent place to ride.

Then Polaris came out in 2008 with the crew model, a lot safer for the kids with this machine. I spent a lot time tricking this one out from wheels, tires, stereo, cab system to a snow plow.

2009 RZR was a blast to drive. I added tires, wheels, overhead stereo, Rangerware cab system with trunk lid.

Our girls wanted to have a little fun to so we customized a youth RZR 170.

In 2010 Polaris started putting their 800 engine in the crews which was a smart move, this one got tires, wheels, toolbox, roof and windshield.

And last but not least I did a build for our Police Dept. with this 2005 Ranger 500.

A past hobby of mine that I really enjoyed but got out of the side x side world last year and purchased a Harley Davidson Ultra Classic so me and Mommy can cruise :-)!

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      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?
