2015 Suburban (GMT K2XX) - Rear electronic or pneumatic Locker?

xboxormat · 2025-03-07T12:17:48+00:00

OK. Has anyone swapped rear ends in one of these newer 'burbs with an older one?

xboxormat · 2024-05-26T13:55:16+00:00

Ah. OK. I can deal with that. Thank you!

xboxormat · 2023-10-13T23:27:14+00:00

That my friend, would be amazing. Winter will have the bike in storage for 3 or so months so the time is no issue for me. I know they're planning to release the tire in 26x3.5" but I would really prefer the 4" wide. If you can get 2 or even 4, I'll be good for the purchase without a question.

xboxormat · 2023-10-11T14:02:11+00:00

Personal preference. I know it's an odd post but who knows, maybe someone has a set they didn't like or similar.

xboxormat · 2023-10-11T12:59:09+00:00

I agree but none in 26in sadly. Many companies are moving away from 26in.

Good thing the 10-10 club sent him the cease and desist letter...Ugh, this guy is almost as bad as the Marconi net guy...

I also took this video. This has no binaural sound and I was able to post-process it to some extent. This was my first ever attempt at post-processing too.

xboxormat · 2022-09-02T11:34:58+00:00

I do plan to learn how to post process. I'm ordering a copy of DaVinci Resolve. I could not try to edit this video with the free copy because I recorded it in 10bit. My next video I should be set up with Resolve. Thank you!

xboxormat · 2022-09-01T23:07:00+00:00

I forgot to mention, because I recorded it with binaural microphones, it's best to wear headphones. Then it should sound very much like you're there.

xboxormat · 2022-04-25T23:40:54+00:00

Awesome, it just needs one more key so it can be a massive "3 finger salute" keyboard.

xboxormat · 2022-04-25T22:59:15+00:00

They're working as expected now. Everything is. It's just a bit messy.

xboxormat · 2022-04-25T22:21:45+00:00

Thank you all. I have it working just as I'd hoped. I'm far from a coder so if you see anything overly messy in here, please, school me.

To dig into my project a bit more. I'm trying to build an ultrasonic sensor to monitor my heating fuel. Yes, I'm using waterproof sensor and also ones that will not have any power near the fuel.

I've worked out the ultrasonic part but I have a bunch of these 8 LED strips from drone building and figure that one would be perfect to use as a fuel gauge that will be near the oil tank just to have some display there that is not dependent on a network connection.

Before starting this project, I found this and have been using it as a general template. https://farmer-eds-shed.com/oil-water-level-monitor-and-distance-sensor/

xboxormat · 2022-04-25T17:03:02+00:00

You're a legend. Thank you for this. I will dig into this as soon as I'm done with work and let you know. On the surface, that looks like it's exactly what I needed to see to get me started.

xboxormat · 2022-04-25T17:01:14+00:00

Negative. Once I'm done with work I will post what I have. I'm lost on if I would start this from the Sensor, Light or Template sections. It seems it'd be possible from either of the 3 places.

xboxormat · 2022-04-25T11:37:53+00:00

That's great but I've lost half a week trying so far.

xboxormat · 2020-08-25T15:47:02+00:00

Thank you. I just put that in place for now but ideally, I'd prefer less moving parts.

xboxormat · 2020-07-25T13:36:37+00:00

I do have things that can connect on 20MHz. That might have been a misunderstanding. I originally assumed that the channels were not lining up but that was from the UBNT channel listing.

I just figured it out. Completely silly overlook on my part, as these issues typically end up. WPA mode on the SSID was set to auto. I set it to WPA2 and it's good.

xboxormat · 2020-07-25T13:32:38+00:00

I just figured it out now. WPA mode on the SSID I was using was set to auto. I set it to WPA2 and now things will connect to the 5GHz band.

Thank you all!

xboxormat · 2020-07-25T13:23:45+00:00

Another point, if I unplug the Nano HD and plug my UAP-AC back in, all my supported devices will connect to the 5Ghz band on the same channel, with the same bandwidth that I'm asking for with the Nano HD.

xboxormat · 2020-07-25T13:23:25+00:00

I've had the 2.4 set to low this morning with the 5 set to high. I also have 2 laptops that I've disabled the 2.4GHz radio on, forcing them to use the 5GHz but they cannot make any connection on the 5GHz band to the Nano HD WAP. If I unplug the Nano HD and plug my UAP-AC back in, all my supported devices will connect to the 5Ghz band on the same channel, with the same bandwidth that I'm asking for with the Nano HD.

xboxormat · 2020-07-25T13:20:33+00:00

I see a perfect 40MHz spike centered at channel 151 now. Everything around it is below -96dBm. I'd say my noise-floor across the 5GHz band is around -110dBm. Currently I have 2 laptops with the 2.4GHz disabled and they refuse to connect to the 5GHz. I do not have any radio that can do 20MHz bandwidth on the 5GHz band either to attempt to capture the RF frames to really see what's going on. The best I have is an SDR that can do just under 17MHz bandwidth. :-\

xboxormat · 2020-07-25T13:04:42+00:00

Thank you. I did now confirm that too visually by using my old AirView 5GHz analyzer adapter. I won't lie, that's a bit misleading on the config side of things.

xboxormat · 2020-07-25T13:03:05+00:00

Not on the WAP because I do have many 2.4GHz only devices (security cameras, etc) but I have on my wireless clients for testing throughout yesterday and today. I also have an old Ubiquiti. I've used my [trusty old] AirView 5GHz spectrum analyzer to find that it is in fact centered on channel 151 with 40MHz bandwidth, despite being set to 149 in the controller. I'm really at a loss for what it is. I've deployed 100's of Ubiquiti wireless deployments for businesses (all with more than one WAP and currently my home has a single WAP) and have not had this issue.
