Found A Leak In My Jeep Radiator

The man needs a blog.

Or better yet, a podcast.

Im no mechanic...not at all, but I dont think you could sell a straight non computer chip car. I bet it would never pass emissions standards. MPG would also probably be pretty low in comparison. That said, I imagine the zillions of chips used are not all necessary but you would likely need some.

I once owned a 49 chevy. Even I could work on it....basically it was like a big lawn tractor.

The 2000 geo metro suposedly got 46 mpg on the highway...

YMMV

OBD II, or On-Board Diagnostic II, is a system in vehicles that monitors and reports on the condition of the vehicle's systems. It's a standard protocol that allows technicians to access diagnostic information and troubleshoot issues.

How it works

• • The OBD II system monitors the vehicle's systems and components in real time.
  • It uses sensors to gather information about the vehicle's engine, exhaust, and other systems.
  • The engine control unit (ECU) processes the information and identifies any issues.
  • If an issue is detected, the OBD II system generates a diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
  • The OBD II system also illuminates a warning light on the dashboard to alert the driver.

Volkswagen had the first OBD system in 1968 and all American market cars didn’t get it until 1996.

Those computer chips are why we can drive big Detroit iron instead of little doodle bugs and such.

Sing one, Jim and Jessie!

The last time I was home Henry pulled up with Nathaniel and Leonard in his buggy and it was lit up like a Christmas tree.

Nathaniel showed me the new electronics he’s installed. Whenever his Daddy hit the hydraulic disc brakes the brake lights came on, it had driving lights and turn signals and emergency flashers, strobes, and the whole works!

He’s almost a teenager and it won’t be long, before that buggy is his.

I asked Henry how it charged up, and he said on the solar battery charger, which made me feel like a fool it sitting right there, and all.
