Now if they just get it display actual graphic gauges on the SYNC AA screen instead of just a list of numbers. Like it does on the phone. That would be great. For now I'll just keep using Torque Pro.
I always used my tablet or phone when driving. My tablet was easier to use, the wife and I where even looking for a tablet holder. But this is good for me, I really love it. I just need my temp on transmission. Kind of important for a towing truck. I haven't used torque pro. But my old phone never did this. So super excited, lucky? That the new one did. Solves a lot of problems for us and frees up space. But yeah, gauges would have been really really good. Guess I can't die yet!

Went camping with the family and as we were driving out of the campsite my neighbor stopped me to tell me he is a Ford engineer and that he designs on the Ford truck team. He told me he loved what I did with my ranger and I told him how much I love the truck and to thank the whole team for a great job.

Except the transmission team, the driveshaft team, the fan sensor team, the HVAC team, the seat team, etc etc. ????

I was using OBD2AA to view my Torque Pro gauges in AA until Google made changes to AA and it quit working.

I'm fairly sure that is what I was using as well. I know for a while it had a work around, where it wrapped the AA connection in a virtual HU interface (or something) and allowed him to inject obd2AA or something. But I think that required a rooted phone. It got to be a cat/mouse game. Google should have allowed the app, not allowing an app that only displayed vehicle data like a dash was like Google saying dash boards are dangerous.

Looking like a truckie kind of day! =)

Picked up a 120-pound toilet at Home Depot, did a test dump run with a half-filled Leaf Burrito and a few odds and ends.

Then, this afternoon, going to sLowe's to get a 142-pound vanity. I opted to get my daughter to help, I'm not to sure I could rig the crane to pick it up since it may be on the tall side. That's okay, this will get us her discount and pay for lunch! =D

I'll be able to better daydream of Ranger things to buy with this new office chair. =D

I hope it's good, sure spent enough time Googling a stoopid toilet. Our main line doesn't angle down much and the house was built with 5-gallon flushers in the '50s.

I sure wish I hadn't cracked my 4-bolt 1964 toilet and it's glorious water-wasting flush. It did great, but it did take forever to refill. =)

That Googling made me crazy and I almost opted for this, but figured that would be a rough go come winter!

When I first read this I thought you did a test dump in your new toilet after eating half a burrito. ? ? o_O

I was like TMI alert!:stop:....I really need to put my readers on before reading your posts!?

A once in a lifetime opportunity like that and you didn’t ask him why the bed was so darn high? :wink:

I used the Ranger to help out my stepson today. I picked up a new Interstate battery for him and took it to his place of work and installed it. I told him, Merry Christmas, then I took the core back to Interstate. His 2017 Escape has the battery buried under 2 layers of plastic cowling.
