Yes. You can't rush these things you know

Need to sort out when I can get ramp time next though, but hopefully won't take as long as this epic task has...

But to be truthful after all this effort right now it's actually not any diferent from any other van in terms of function it's the same box but with an extra useless bit hanging on the back till I get my finger out an get the selector motor program working that's the next big push.

I'll be content enough for a while if I can get into low box.

Yea so was I thoroughly unimpressed you might say
And was fixed in minutes by pushing the main connector on the tank back in and making sure it was in properly
Drew fuel up through filter in seconds with the big vac pump and fired up on about 3rd attempt at cranking
All goo had it down the motorway to work n back this evo an feels fine and it's now silent when idling in neutral.
All in all so far so good.

So currently nothing practical has happened but it's feeling another now everything's settled in and loosened up after the box has been sitting stored for so long. It's just like it was before but with more hanging off the back of the box, it does have the slightest of pulsing when pulling away in first sometimes, but picked up a prop damper from a 2016 ranger so going to fit that and see if that does anything noticeable.

In other news I've been busy sorting out the ratio shift function.
So far got most of the program written but not sure if it will work or if I've missed out some fundimental bit of code

So if anyone's interested and knows what there looking at it'd be great to have a second opinion. ImageImageImageImage

Looked at them, handy things but I still have to write a program to work a controller to turn the relays on and off at the right time so unfortunately it solves one part but not the other
Have taken delivery of some transistors, some relays and think I've now got enough hardware to make it work. just not enough text in the right order to make the hardware do what it's told.

Ah so it isn't a simple case of 1 relay on next relay off then?
