Just a question for those that have done business  with Chris and Wams. Do they send you a notice and tracking number once they’ve receive and completed the reprogram? I know they’re busy, so do t want to send him too many emails. I figured I’d ask here first. Ty. 

Yes I got an email (and he was dealing with a family emergency back around the second week of Dec 18) but no tracking number. I was kind of shocked that he even took the time to send me an email at that particular time but it was a fast turnaround. I know you’re excited (well I was) to get it but it will come packed really, really good. @GTPprix is an awesome and busy guy. Like I said, I got an email even with all he had going on.

Thanks SS502. Good to know. I’ll wait patiently but hope the misses doesn’t intercept it. Haha.

So I checked my junk mail, and I did get an email that said shipped. Pretty stoked.  @pgamboa thanks for the vid on installation.

Just reading these posts, but this is for Chris  at  WAMS . I'm tring to send you a 2017 SLT cluster to get programmed & module also. I believe I'm registered, but can't logon. I've tried at the appropriate times posted and don't know what else to do. The vehicle is apart & I need to get these items sent to Chris for programming. Chris, if you read this , please respond...thanks

Just curious how come the truck is apart? Where is the factory cluster?

 

Oh. Just saw you want the "module"  programmed too? Are you talking about the HMI and the radio?

I have the cluster out to be programmed so that it shows the parking assist  as the truck did not come with that feature on it. I have researched this out  & want to add front & rear sensors. Need to program park assist module also . It's an SLT and has the wiring under the hood & in the cab. I'm also adding the missing wires in the chassis harness. But I do need to get the cluster & module programmed by Chris. 

    After registering on his site, I looked around & left. Emailed him, & stated that the prices he quoted were not on the site for me as stated, because he quoted me before I registered. NOW, I can't logon ?  Why am I blocked if so ?  It would be nice if he would ANSWER  my email like a gentleman as there is some miscommunication here. If it is me, then I appoglize for being a senior citizen and not so tech savvy. 

   I just want to get this work done if possible

The one a couple post back I ordered from, sent me the wrong cluster(not even the same year I requested). Sad thing was, it was sent from a dealer maybe 30/mins away from me.. :D

So had to send it back and a couple of the local dealers can't even order it for me when I asked, they said nothing is out there for them to order?? 

 

I might try Specmo... or.. keep looking. :(

I understand. Just asking, did you happen to check your junk mail? It should be from WAMS.  But I dont think your post her is gonna want to make him jump to you now. He is very busy. And they do perfect work. Im sure its just a miscommunication. You should probably keep your cluster in until everything is set and you and WAMS have come to an order number and ready to ship it in.

No it's sadly not; he's banned. He emailed I believe 13 times one day consecutively WELL outside of business hours and the system begins to warn people that do that like "hey we are closed you look like you are spamming we are going to ban you if you don't stop". First ban I think is like a week, second two weeks and final is permanently. He hit all three bans in one day then switched to another account and started doing the same thing again. 

 

Then he started harassing another vendor here to try to get him to force me to take his work via PM and phone and then IGNORED the vendor who told him exactly how to handle things which was calm the heck down and wait. Mind you this was last week while we were closed to catch up which of course the auto responder and website clearly stated.

 

Then he began to PM me today (3 times in a span of I think 4 hours) to the point I had to turn PM's off again here (which had only been on for HALF THE DAY, if that!)  in addition to following me twice for some reason.

 

Mind you he had no appointment or order and this has been going on for weeks by this point so no clue why he would have taken his truck apart when it clearly wasn't going to happen. 

 

That said I don't do stalking and I don't have time for babysitting I'm sorry to have to make this public but he clearly won't take a hint from anyone.

@GTPprix I just wanted to thank you as I received my cluster back,  and I’m super excited to do the install this weekend.  Thanks and glad to do business. I will say that folks should check to make sure their filtering software isn’t moving emails to trash.  Also, make sure to read the thread. There are plenty of posts that give you the heads up about how to communicate with Chris and his business. Well, anyway, Can’t wait for the weekend.

Well....I think that’s the point of no return for hot wheels. I guess I’m a little confused if they followed instructions for ordering a program?  I’m not going to talk badly about them, but I don’t know what kind of options you have now to get that cluster functioning.  Anyway.....onwards I guess.

Chris, can we get this radio module 84023338 programmed along with my hmi 84296482? Its for my 14. I know radio module isnt on the list and its a wifi module.

Drop me a line from the site but I don’t think that’s a radio module (send a pic please)

    • He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it. 
    • I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.

REAR AXLE - 3.73 RATIO INC. GVWR, 11,350 LBS. (5148 KG) INC. FRONT AND REAR PARK ASSIST, INC. ULTRASONIC     I have been launching my new boat and noticed some things related to the parking brake.. I usually set the parking brake (habit) when on flat ground for typical driving.    When backed down on the launch ramp to launch the boat and I place gear selector into Park, the parking brake activates automatically. My second nature is to set parking brake manually and noticed I was turing the parking brake off.  The parking brake appears to be setting itself automatically.   I looked all over my owner's manual and only found references to being on an incline and manually setting parking brake, or at times parking brake will be auto engaged, but nothing specific to my situation.    When is the parking brake automatically engaged?  Under what specific circumstances?  Can the auto set parameters be changed?     I like the auto set feature.  It would be nice if always engaged when shifted into Park and released when shifted out of Park (like my wifes 2025 RAV4).   Thanks!    
    • www.enginelabs.com/news/what-i-learned-today-bearing-clearances-vs-oil-viscosities/     www.enginelabs.com/news/oil-viscosity-can-the-numbers-be-misleading/ The Big Lie… Coming full circle to the reason Lake discusses the Porsche engines in particular. Based on the 2000 samples in the SPEEDiagnostix database, increasing the oil viscosity in these engines, even those run on the track, showed no significant difference in results.   The smoking gun was in the oil chemistry. That is where the data shows higher instances of more wear. Molybdenum was the key; the higher the amount, the less the wear. Speed postulates that higher viscosity oils have more thickeners to artificially inflate their viscosity numbers. These thickeners lose viscosity under shear, and the result is that not all oils of the same viscosity have the same shear stability.   Having enough viscosity is the most important characteristic, but according to Speed, once that required viscosity level is reached, additive chemistry matters more than additional viscosity. Speed also states, oil pressure problems on the racetrack aren’t a viscosity problem; it’s an oiling system problem. Running a thicker oil is just a band-aid for an underlying oiling system problem.
    • Can it still be Assembled II?   Viscosity on the decline by various means. Heat on the rise making that worse. Engine RPM in the tank. Smaller motors with more boost trying to emulate an electric motor. Full torque, zero rpm. Then we will triple the OCI. Argh.    But wait....there is more. LSPI has pushed a shift from Ca to Mg and as that cost more PLUS the run to lower sulfur compounds the TBN is moving in the wrong direction for the increased OCI's demanded.    That not being enough to placate a demand for a parameter they can't measure the other sulfur bearing compounds are also under attack. That would be zinc and phosphorus sulfonate compounds. To some degree those are being replaced with boron esters and others, i.e. titanium ect. All of which have shorter service lives. And there there is the "Secrete Sauce" marketing for AW adds that 'Can't be detected by UOA's" but trust me because I (the blenders) never ever lie.    Spoiler alert; ALL additives are sacrificial! Smaller amounts of the old blended with less robust versions of the new do not equal longer service lives. So what are the blenders recommending? Wait for it.......   MOVING THE GOAL POSTS! OMG      Let's declare the long standing TAN/TBN crossover irrelevant and tell people that soot is a great 'graphite' based lubricant which can aid tribo films. Wait, what? Let's declare that the standards used for oxidation and nitration were to conservative and can be expanded. Let's tell them that because GDI fuel dilution, although being a VISCOSITY KILLER and an acid generator is actually okay because we have better base oils that limit viscosity failure limits. (Said knowing this is measured in fractions of a centipoise and in bases not commonly used in shelf oils)   Lying from the heart is not just the new normal but we have a public, a very young public, that is so ignorant of the facts and so sure of their "RESEARCH" into AI driven models base in regurgitated  instead of scientific research based unvarnished, peer reviewed FACTS that the incoming guard is loosing their grip on reality and the OEM's are tickled pink while the blends bend the knee.    You have an ever limited set of tools to work with. And sooner or later those will be taken from you as the API and the EPA strangle the last remaining fluids from the system. What you have left is your wits. If you care to use them.    At some point in the very near future it will not longer be possible to do "What is best for the machine", and be replaced with "The best you have access too". You WILL be rewarded with half the life and twice the cost. That isn't that hard to predict.
