Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and forums in general. I've been a lurker here for a few years, but today I'm finally making an account to share my endeavors and aneurysms with the world. I'm a tech nerd as my name suggests, and love convincing computers to operate in ways unintended by the manufacturer. In the near future I'll be starting a couple threads outlining some of the tech I'm packing into my old bullnose. From using an arduino as a glowplug controller, or repurposing an old atari home computer as an ECU. If we can make it fit, we can make it work.

I can't wait to meet new friends on the forum, and explore new ideas to increase the capabilities of old iron!

Thanks!
Radical, Man...bring it on...we need all the innovation we can get.

Good looking truck, by the way...4X4 and flatbed, with a brush pusher...

Hell, yeah...
Thanks, she's a little rough around the edges. Sat at a farm for 20 years, but it's coming together pretty well.

I'll be spinning up a new thread soon with more pictures of the build so far, and some more info on the glow-plug controller I'm working on. I'm taking the time to make the build/install process as easy as possible, so it can be as simple as copy/paste the code, and plug it in. (Not many gear-heads are programmers, which is understandable)
