That’s why it’s called “Artificial” Intelligence. There are more mistakes than that. 🎓
Yeah. I did notice the "rampant" number off ridiculous errors. Only AI can F-UP that bad. So why not let it control our financial markets and weapons systems ?

...but I still like the overall idea of the Diploma

I'm going to print that out and have it framed so I can hang it up in my office...

The PA suggested using a 20g needle. The doc said, "Gimme the 14g. The 20g takes too long." That MF'r hurt... a lot.

Totally, but I wasn't going to take the time to point them all out. I'm not retired yet, I still have to work today!

1st supporting mod to help with the new camper. Added a Wolfbox G900 TriPro. Wondering if I should finally write up a build thread…

Hey Tim,

I really like how you set up your wiring. Now, I just have to do the same for my Wolfbox. :D My drill and an assortment of rubber grommets are on stand-by.

It looks like you used a 1-1/4” grommet for a 1” hole. Do you recall if that’s the size you used?

Got bored and brought out the ol' PC with FORScan on it. (okay, I did this yesterday)
I enabled the Frost Telltale display.
I didn't needed it when I lived in NC. where I bought my Ranger. Now I'm back in MN. and I thought I might try it out. I'm not the first one to do this, but it's the first time I've enabled this.
I hope this works on my '17 Mustang too.

For those of you with a knowledge of FORScan...

And it looks like this on center display. Not sure how it looks on the other dash type.

Not familiar with this. Is it just a temperature warning? My truck was a Canadian import and I don't see that symbol. I live in north Idaho so we obviously get cold.

It's there and available, but not enabled. Normally, you won't ever see it.

Yep, it's basically a temperature warning. Otherwise you have to look at the actual temperature on the display. That seems like a lot of work to me. Hum, maybe that's why the factory doesn't turn on that function. Well, we all paid for it and I want to see it.

I couldn't let a beautiful 75 degree day go to waste so I detailed my truck with more Graphene detailer. It'll last a good 90 days but I like doing it every 5-6 weeks for the added protection. The sun and UV rays are brutal here most of the year so it really helps the paint stay conditioned and keeps those black strips on the roof from peeling. :wink:

I've owned my Ranger since 2022 & just learned about the temperature display in the cluster few weeks ago during roadtrip. I thought that was a compass bearing this entire time. Any time I needed to know road/weather temperature I was going into Sync looking at the climate controls screen. 🤦‍♂️

Never knew! I guess it would be nice but the temperature is in the dash as well as the touch screen and I keep an eye on those when traveling over wet roads in the winter so I don't get surprised by black ice. I assume the alert comes on when the temperature drops to freezing?
