Recommended Posts

Hey guys, I have been using a very cool program to help tract and remind me to do PM items on my vehicles. you can keep tract of up to 10 different vehicles not only for reminders but also keep records of part numbers where you bought them and cost.

 

Auto Maintenance Pro 9.0 is the name of the program, you can try for free for 30 days. they also have a program called Fleet maintenance Pro for more vehicles and small repair shops to track customers vehicles

if you look hard enough there are keygens to extend the 30 day trial.

You could do that yourself in Excel in about an hour....If you're decent with it anyway.

No, because I would never fill it out.

 

I think that I might have a couple of them at home though...I'll look when I get there in a couple of hours.

 

Hmmm...Got me to thinking though...I do get mighty bored at work sometimes....Maybe I'll whip one up next week. If anybody has any suggestions on what to include, drop me a note. I might give it a shot if I have time.

I have a pretty good spreadsheet that has gas milage, maintenance tracking, part numbers, etc. If you want a copy email me

Have you made a good spreadsheet for that?

 

 

 

 

 

I did the excel spread sheet for a couple of years, and it will work.

 

But Auto Maintenance Pro is much better for me, "all in one" data base with a cool GUI. I like the feature of putting a actual picture of my yukon on the screen with all of the information.

 

I looked at a lot of different warez on the net and this one fits me best.

See that is the hard part, getting started on what to include and how to best format it. I'd like to see some others to get ideas.

 

I did look at that Auto Maintenance Pro and it looked pretty good but I already have Excel and would like to give that a shot before spending $40 on it.

How does it keep track of mileage driven so that it knows to suggest maintenance, unless you have to enter the mileage, daily, weekly, monthly, never (in my case), or does the software calculate it based on something?

 

Spreadsheet would be just as easy in my opinion.

I can add pictures in my Excel. :tear:

I use a spreadsheet in Excel. My dad whipped it up. I track every fill-up in it, I also track maintenence, such as fluid changes, filter changes, tire rotations, nothing as small as when I changed light bulbs or anything like that. I also track the fuel cost and the cost of the maintenence I do. I don't go into such detail as the actual part numbers used, that's what the sales slip from buying the part is for.

 

Not sure if I'll track modifications in it also. I haven't done too many mods yet, when I start I may do that...

    • I have thought an EV might have some practical value in extending the life of the ICE members of ones fleet. Now....I'm convinced of it. I've been letting my better half access Raven (Mitsubishi Mirage) for her needs while Dizzy has been in the shop. Being the fuel freak I am and given the fact Raven is capable of over 60 mpg in clean air on a warm day I was taken back by the wife's ability to take a car that had used a half a tank of gas that to that point had returned a value of 57 mpg and return in with a decimating 51 mpg for that same tank in that same day in a 15 mile round trip of short hop errands and a stop in the drive through at Micky D's.  😱   Trust me on this. It would take the remainder of that tank driven on the highway to return that tank to just 54 mpg. This is not a Mitsubishi issue. This is an ICE issue that is magnified in vehicles capable of such high fuel economy values. On a percentage basis your 1500 does the same thing. Short hopping an ICE consumes a good deal more fuel and in doing so provides zero additional useable outputs. That entire volume of fuel is wasted in diluting the cylinder walls oil films, creating crankcase moisture and acid content and the resultant wear.    Enter the SLATE. All of that is avoided and the ICE's advantage in range and made useful at reduced wear for your ICE!   Kind'a cool. 
    • Back in the day people would buy cars based on performance. The charger posted does 0-60 in 3.3 seconds. And it’s fully loaded.  It has a decent warranty and will fit most anyone’s needs. Remember the original Hemi? 90 day warranty. 25K mini truck or that car? I’d go with the car. It wouldn’t fit my perimeter. If I could just talk my wife out of her Genesis. It would be perfect for her.
    • Let's pivot this back. Someone said they wanted pictures.   Even better, there's already video. Pre-prod prototypes are already on the road and they're letting the press drive them.   JerryRigEverything did a good review. I really enjoy his content and EV adventures, so I was thrilled when he had the chance to review a Slate:    
    • The Charger EV was stillborn. Wrong car at the wrong price for Dodge's intended audience. Now at a good price with fire-sale discounts, and still not selling, it's still very much the wrong car. Again, Dodge's intended audience. I believe a lot of Stellantis' EV blunders were all under Tavares' regime at Stellantis...the board convinced him to move on. Neat car, just wasn't received on the level that would sustain mass production.   Dodge is headed in a better direction for its core business. I didn't think there was anything left to get excited about re: the Durango after its 15 year run, but they're just now releasing a 392 version that should price out in the low 40's. Nicely done. I'm not sure I would touch anything Stellantis makes with a 10' pole these days, but the Durango is still mostly parts designed like 3 parent companies ago so maybe it's still OK?
