I’ve attached some images I found from when I was doing testing. I have a caddy and was thus able to use a sata power splitter to go from 1x to 2x so that I could use 2x SSDs. If you find where the 12v and 5v connections are on the backplane, I suppose you could solder direct to the back and...

Get a Molex to SATA power adapter off the jungle website, then just get a longer SATA cable, then go direct to the SSD with it from the board. You’ll need to cut the molex side of the connector off and find out where you can connect the +5 and +12v onto the board, but the SATA will be direct...

Just go into these expecting to replace anything rubber. I usually pull off the hood and cooling stack, and then replace all the rubber hydraulic lines, coolant lines, etc, inspect pulleys, change balancer and crank pulley. LeroyDiesel.com has good quality balancers and billet aluminum pulleys...

Yep I’m curious, let me know, I’ve got a few other random drivers I’ve scrounged that you can try as well, but the root indicator of it working should be whether the serial port displays hex output when poking it. I tried both using putty in windows across all the com ports, and connecting to...

That’s awesome, you may want to give this a try: https://www.touch-base.com/ Maybe it’ll work for you, may just have to run the xp 32 bit version. You shouldn’t really need anything except serial drivers to even see if the display is working based on what I read. You should see hex output on a...

Are all fluid levels good? Mainly oil? Have you tried changing the oil since this started? If not, change it and see if it still persists. Again, doesn’t correlate with the smoke however. If you want some concrete data, send an oil sample to blackstone labs. They’ll be able to detect any traces...

What color is the smoke? White? Black? Take a video of it. Go to the front of the engine bay and look at the pulley system. Look at each pulley closely while it’s running, are any of them wobbling? Is the tensioner slapping? The pulleys would likely be unrelated to the smoke however. If it’s...

That is phenomenal, I’m glad I was able to make you spend $10 on a programmer to fix a large paperweight 😂 Funny enough, once I figured out I could rescue these indefinitely, I started clicking around a lot. I also looked in the bios code for any hard coded passwords but with no luck. It seems...

One more note, you may want a second person to operate and move the other jack around. A trans jack with a tilting top piece is great because you my have to tilt the assembly left while it comes down, due to how the transfer case sits near the fuel tank.

Yep, it’s not hard, just tedious. Get yourself a transmission jack AND regular jack. Trans jack on the pan, regular jack on the transfer case. Basic idea is: - unplug batteries so some hooligan doesn’t accidentally crank during this process - put jack under t case - remove cross bar support -...

Regarding the touch screen ordeal, man this is definitely some old stuff. The touch screen was designed to conform with 3M / Dynapro SC4 standards. You can find several drivers floating around on the internet but they’re all for XP era operating systems. The driver itself is from 1999, so I had...

@Wile E. Coyote good call on the USB keyboard, traced it and turned my spare keyboard cable into an adapter for female USB. Plugged a hub into it for more accessories, works like a charm.

I’ve got a spare keyboard with missing keys, I shall probe pins later and see what I discover lol

The one thing I don’t know if I’ll ever get working is the touch display, no idea what rabbit hole that driver will be down.

Ubuntu would work great - my only caveat is that I want function turn-by-turn GPS with google maps, which they restrict to only mobile platforms like android and iPhone. So therefore I am down the android rabbit hole lol Android 9 for x86 is now booting fine on it, just trying to figure out...

I’ll PM ya.

More progress - though I should be sleeping: - First round of testing with Windows 10 32-bit. Latest version released a few months ago - Keyboard / Mouse trackpad are working great - Spent a few hours trying to get Ethernet working. It’s a 10/100 built in network card. Quite literally had to...

I can say with ecstatic excitement that the original BFT PU I broke has been repaired! It was 100% in fact the BIOS chip that somehow gets corrupted when entering security enrollment in the menu. This took a bit of research but we were able to rob the BIOS memory from a functional BFT, then...

We have power!
