Tonyrodz's Tahoe Build Thread

I didn't get it.

You need it. The Autocal is no good to you if you can’t transfer the files to and from it to a computer so you can email them. The one cable you have is to transfer the files to and from your vehicle. You have to be able to transfer your datalog files to a folder on a computer for emailing, and you need to copy tune files from the email that Blackbear sends to you to a folder on a computer, and then copy them from there to the Autocal and then load the tune to your truck. I’m not sure if it’s proprietary, maybe Wes can look at the end and tell since it kind of looks like he’s into computer stuff. The other end is just USB. I’m sure BB has an extra cable you can get.

me too, but....you know what they say takes money to make money I have been buying from them for almost 10 years watched them grow from a little place to baller. The owner started going to china and having products made and shipped over here in containers, he started out making some Segway type products that didn't really take off but then he came up with bumpboxx which are old school styled boom boxes (now bluetooth instead of cassette) and part of his marketing strategy was to send free bumpboxx's to all the NFL teams and that has now really taken off, he doesn't even come to work anymore lol
https://bumpboxx.com/ some of those boom boxes are $895 !!!!

Wow. That’s awesome. Yeah I know about the bumpboxx pretty cool.

It’s a USB 2.0 / 2.1 (standard) on the PC end. The other end that plugs in to the autocal is also USB, but 1.0. Here’s an example: Monoprice 1.5-Feet USB 2.0 A Male to B Male 28/24AWG Cable (Gold Plated) (105436),Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009GUVZOK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabc_95eYFb297YWED

Printer cable is all that is? I’m sure you can find one of those around somewhere. Maybe @Doubeleive has one or ten in all of his stuff!

that's just a usb A cable, you can probably get one at walmart, target, bestbuy, walgreens, etc. if you have a old usb printer or scanner floating around it's the same cable

That's the one I need?

 

[Doubeleive]

I have about 20-30 of them out in the garage

 

[Doubeleive]

those cables are required stock for me when I am selling stuff I usually include one with the item if has a usb port

 

[Sam Harris]

Sooooooo many nerds here lol. I don’t even remember USB A , there’s so many stupid computer connectors you need a damn catalog to look them up in. I hate them. Stupid computer cables. It’s like plumbing parts. Don’t get me started. How many damn plumbing connectors does there need to be? You’re only doing one damn thing- moving water from one place to another. Next time you’re at Home Depot or Lowe’s, drop by the plumbing connectors and watch the lost folks staring at all the parts. Their eyes will be all crazy looking.

Bet you can find one cheap at Goodwill or Salvation Army, if you have one near you.

 

[Doubeleive]

I have a bunch of different cables for testing stuff, there's more usb 3.0 types also, serial cables, null modem, bunch of different video adapters for pc or mac, scsi adapters, I also have to keep around other media like cassettes, 8track, betamax, laserdisc, zip drive, dat, mini disc, video8, hi8, 8mm, vhs-c all kinds of crap. people will pay stupid money for certain vintage electronics, I cant sell you a 8track player and say it works unless I have tested it, some people may only have old family videos on beta tapes and will pay good for a working deck so all that old stuff it just a tool for me.

It’s $2.99.. the gas to drive to the goodwill would likely offset any savings. Lol

 

[Doubeleive]

did you find the brakes yet? lol unload that thing

 

[Tonyrodz]

Me? Nope, some lowlife scumbag POS crackhead cross eyed mama's boy ******* $hit stain *********** loving ******* took them.
No offense to anyone! Muthafukn $hit still pisses me off!! I'd love to split the thief's wig.

I used to work for a trucking company that was contracted by goodwill to pickup the donations at the donation centers--biggest scam going. My gf and I stopped donating to goodwill once I saw what was going on.
My opinion--if you care, and you want to donate--give to the Salvation Army, your local church or to someone directly.
I'm off my soapbox.
If anyone is curious to know just message me.

yep never see goodwill doing anything, salvation army on the other hand has churches and gives back to the community and all over the world, my cousin is a minister in the salvation army and she gets sent all over the place to do work, right now she is stationed in Phoenix, she was In Seattle, Los Angeles, Hawaii last year, Here where I live they have a drug rehabilitation center.

Goodwill is a STRICTLY FOR PROFIT organization. Remember that guys. I've heard the Goodwill name is "Leased" to certain people, businesses or organizations. So....nothing like Salvation Army, who helps people.
