Well, that must be a sign I'm getting old - I thought this was just posted a couple of days ago: The Lounge[^]

... involves getting my hands on a Navistar T444E engine - Wikipedia[^] or similar late model "chipped" fuel injected diesel engine and hooking into the On-board diagnostics - Wikipedia[^] to see if i can't make a custom electronic dashboard for it by rigging it up to a Raspberry.
The main problem is finding a place to put the thing as I don't really have a workshop - and i have a carport, not a garage.
Eventually I'd even like to make a reprogrammable ECU for the flippin thing.
Why? To make a better boondocking rig[^] so me and my fellow freaks can caravan through the post-apocalypse wasteland in style and comfort.

I'm hope you aware that the T444E has a pollution problem already... In the post-apocalypse scene there is already enough debris around, you not really want to add to it...

For the post apocalypse you should probably look for something fully mechanic. I wouldn't trust electronics to survive the apocalypse.
|
|

Agreed.
I envision our apocalypse having a very good chance of having limited technology, such as an EMP or solar-event.
Now if the ECU and and semi-conductor based sensors were in a Faraday cage or similarly shielded; this may not be a problem.
Mechanical systems would still function naturally, and old school points/condenser ignitions should be good too.

The thing about those diesels, is its easy to rip the computer out of them. You basically just have to replace the injector with a manual injector, and then it's a non E version of the engine. The E was just a retrofit to begin with. =)

Are you going to make it multi-fuel as well?

That would be ideal, but it's primarily a diesel. Diesels are pretty flexible in what fuel they'll let you use, but it will never run straight petrol.

Exactly what I was referring to; a Compression Ignition engine that can run on fuels other than Diesel; e.g. Jet Fuel, Kerosene, recycled McDonald's deep-fryer oil.
As for your particular engine, I don't see anything in my parts list for the IHC 6.9/7.3 engines

There's another powerplant i could use that i know a bit about - it's an older line, international, but the name isn't coming to me. It's another retrofit in terms of electric injection.
They're both common in school buses.
I know the older one will run on fry oil. I'm pretty sure i could get this engine to do so as well.
I think the main problem might be in the high pressure injection rails but i think there are WVO kits for those.

For post-apocalypse, perhaps an army surplus tank modified with bulletproof glass skylights would be in order. It might get 10 mph retrofitted with your engine.

And less than 1 mile per gallon.
That might be a problem in a post-apocalypse world. Gas stations are likely to be few and far apart.

Yes, so I guess it'd have to be wind, solar, and...biomass, of which there should be plenty!

Two apps. Notification settings for both are configured the same. When one app gets a "message," it's icon is overlapped with a number. When the other app gets a "message", it's icon is not overlapped with a number, yet you can open the app and see the new "message." It did not used to be this way (i.e., the overlapped number used to display for both). Any idea(s) as to what is going on here?
Thanks.

But now you may understand that both apps are different in this handling?
Or are they the same apps (also in version) but different devices? Maybe different ios versions?
Please explain, if it doesnt help you.
