How many members do we have here from MO?

 

I'll start. I'm a new member and a new Chevy owner. Actually, the wife is driving the Chevy. It's a 2007 Trailblazer LT. We bought it yesterday at a used car lot with 4132 miles on it. This is the first Chevy either of us have had. Dare I say, I've always been a Ford guy? Sorry, sister-in-law works for Ford, so I've always liked the deals, but I got a great deal on this Chevy, so I went for it.

 

My first impression so far with this truck, it's NICE!! It's fully loaded and I gotta say, the OnStar thing is awesome! I don't feel near as worried about my wife going out of town with our kids! Ford really screwed up not doing something similar!!

 

We live at the Lake of the Ozarks near Osage Beach.

 

So who else is in MO?

Sheesh, 12 views and no replies? Either there are no Missouri members or this isn't a friendly type forum? Should I keep looking for a friendly forum or what?

Welcome to the group! :crackup: Glad to see a fellow Missourian post.

 

Where are you located at the LOZ? I have a house on the 36MM. I just bought a Cobalt 262 to keep my Triton TR186 company on the dock. Crazy weather. Snow on Sunday - 70 degrees on Wed. :crackup:

 

Overall this is a very friendly forum. There are a lot of knowledgeable people on this board. I think there are quite a few Missourian on here, they just don't post very much.

 

Glad you like your TB. :crackup:

I live in Jefferson City. Just got rid of my 01 pickup about a month ago for a car. Wife still has the crewcab pickup. Right now I am looking for a older chevy pickup to buy, just so I can have my playtoy

Should be a nice weekend. I'm down near the 26MM, kinda by Tan-Tar-A. Last thing I want is another boat! I got one and I'm sick of it. It's a Commercial Water Sports Aerial Pro 30. If you've never heard of one, it's the ParaSail operation out of Tan-Tar-A.

 

It's nice to meet some fellow Missourians. Thanks for the welcome.

I just went through there today going to Columbia for a Dr. appointment. :) They sure did a good job fixing the burnt bridge! Thanks for the welcome!!

Yea actually Sam Houston is the name of our major street. :) What can I say though. People tell me its because he came through this area that they called our town this. :) I've only been here 4 years so no biggie.

Hey I'm another one from MO. I live in southeast missouri near cape girardeau by the mighty mississippi river :lol: I'm glad the floods finally let up but then we feel earthquakes from illinois. I imagine soon the plague of locust or the waters running red will happen soon. :lol::lol:

They have internet in Missouri? I figured it would be stolen by the residents of East St Louis. :M16:

    • 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?
