Brayden 04-28-2006, 04:14 AM Who has the Cubby hole and who has the Air Bag disable?
Just wondering, because I might just have something that would fit nicely in there.
Thanks in advance.
Pics to follow soon.
bugsy2004 04-28-2006, 07:12 AM That little cubby hole is where i mounted my Outlook Monitor. I love it.
Descartian 04-28-2006, 07:47 AM I think that it is based on year... Mine '05 w/cubby... great place for my work nextel, fits perfect and by the 12v charger.
MT Dmax Squid 04-28-2006, 07:56 AM I think that it is based on year... Mine '05 w/cubby... great place for my work nextel, fits perfect and by the 12v charger.
dotto, that is my cell phone holder.):h

Diesel_Dog 04-28-2006, 07:40 PM 03 and I have the Airbag Disable
STPETEBLUE 04-28-2006, 07:45 PM 05 and I have the airbag disable.
Trippin 04-28-2006, 07:51 PM 2003 Crew Cab has a cubby.
mattydmax 04-28-2006, 07:57 PM pyro went in my cubby
sraike 04-28-2006, 08:37 PM '02 with cubby
chevy_9465 04-28-2006, 08:51 PM cell phone holder
LTChip 04-28-2006, 09:23 PM 01 w/cubby - so why the mystery - what do you have to go in there? Spill!
demp223 04-28-2006, 09:31 PM 05 with cubby for Cell phone when charging.
db9938 04-28-2006, 09:50 PM I think that the cubby's came on the crews and the standard cabs, regardless of year. The switch in the cubby is usually in the extended cabs.
hotdmax05 04-28-2006, 10:19 PM i have a reg. cab and have the switch.
db9938 04-28-2006, 10:32 PM OK... maybe it's just the CC's with a cubby?
Max Power 04-28-2006, 10:35 PM OK... maybe it's just the CC's with a cubby?
I believe that is correct.
swatkins 04-28-2006, 10:37 PM I believe that is correct.
Trucks with no rear seating have to have the disable switch... Thats because you need to turn off the passenger airbag when seating small children or car seats... Lots of kids killed that way :(
STPETEBLUE 04-28-2006, 11:49 PM My EC has a fold-down rear seat w/child safety seat hooks in it.
RichLockyer 04-29-2006, 12:08 AM My EC has a fold-down rear seat w/child safety seat hooks in it.
Tundra was the same way.
They assume that you are not going to put the child seat in the back, probably due to the limited depth of the seat not being able to work with the rear-facing carriers for the pre-toddlers.
Wardster 04-29-2006, 08:44 AM Crew Cab = Cubby
Standard/Extended Cab = Airbag Switch
Oh, it's called a cubby? For like a small bear? Thought it was called a cell phone holder. My bad. ):h
Glenn Bright 04-29-2006, 10:50 AM I have '95 extended cab with cubby. Mounted Cd changer control in it.
moss022 04-29-2006, 11:59 AM standard cab here. has the worlie light switch and air bag, along with a few other switches

Ok - so now we know - CCs have it and others don't. So what's your idea?
btfarm 04-29-2006, 07:37 PM Ok - so now we know - CCs have it and others don't. So what's your idea?
'05 EC air bag switch just like my '03 SC
dmaxalliTech 04-29-2006, 08:11 PM The cubby is there if you dont have air bag disable..
Reg cab's all have the switch. Crew's should not.
Diesel Dragon 04-29-2006, 08:22 PM Regular and extended cabs have the switch.
Crew cabs have the cubby with no way to disable the pass airbag.
So what's your idea Brayden ?

RichLockyer 04-30-2006, 04:35 AM I have '95 extended cab with cubby. Mounted Cd changer control in it.
You don't have a passenger side front airbag either, do you?

I have a crew cab and the cubby (guess that's been established). I have nothing there now and my cell phone doesn't fit there worth a darn (and it always comes flyin' out of there when I hit the juice). Personally, I think all the cubbies on my truck are a poor use of space. Seems as though there isn't one that fits (and holds) the items I have in the truck with me. I'd love to hear your idea. BTW, does anyone have an ash tray in a truck with the center counsol other than that useless loose cup ... I sure miss having a place to throw thrash and I'd "mod in" an ash tray in if I could get factory available parts. Anyway ....
:nopics:
Eager to hear your idea Brayden! ;)
Brayden 05-01-2006, 02:04 PM It should make a nice place to mount whatever you want.. For those of you that do have the cubby.. If you don't you could probably mount the airbag disable somewhere else, and then install a cubby, and use this box.
What I'm using it for is what will be cool. Stay tuned :D
The front panel will be capable of holding one 2 1/16th gage and 4 microswitches across the top if you'd like.
That's all for now :muahaha:
LTChip 05-01-2006, 02:31 PM I don't get what that is?
Brayden 05-01-2006, 02:32 PM It slides right in the cubby hole. Take the plastic mat out of the bottom and slide that right in.
LTChip 05-01-2006, 03:12 PM I guess I don't get it. It is a cubby box extender that slides into the cubby hole? What is the purpose? Does it stick out? Why would anyone want this?
I can't picture it from your CAD drawing. Where would switches go? What do you mean when you say "it should make a nice place to mount..."?
Brayden 05-01-2006, 03:17 PM It's a Solid model of the box itself. It fits the contous of the original "cubby hole". There is a plate that mounts to the front largest surface that will hold your gage, switches, etc.
These are the auxilliary features. It was designed with another purpose in mind that I will show you soon.
Bodysurfer 05-01-2006, 03:21 PM I think you need to open up on your idea.....
Brayden 05-01-2006, 03:28 PM You mean "idea"?
You'll know shortly.. I get you a picture from another angle..
Go outside to your trucks and take a look at how the cubby hole is designed then come back and look at the picture. It will make sense then.
Brayden 05-01-2006, 04:09 PM Here's apicture as you would see it as you look at the dash. That picture is showing the front panel "MSPaint'd" in.
The blue dot's are switches, forgive the freehand "art".
Hope that helps clear it up.
SleeperTRK 05-01-2006, 04:38 PM He means converting it from just a useless cubby into a gauge and or switch mount.
Brayden 05-01-2006, 04:47 PM Or both..
But, that's not what this was designed for.. Those are just some of the other uses for the box.
The intended purpose is much more useful than just a gauge mount. :D
moss022 05-01-2006, 04:52 PM coming soon i hope.........if i am thinking right!
Brayden 05-01-2006, 05:12 PM You and me both.. Been a while in the making :D
moss022 05-01-2006, 05:27 PM good to hear, cant wait to hear from ya either!:muahaha:
Brayden 05-02-2006, 03:39 PM Wait.. I think you're thinking of something else.. You may have seen it at Indy last year.. :D
Turbotug 05-02-2006, 04:37 PM Spill it already!):h
BTW my bro's 1500 EC has a ride control button in that spot, don't know where his SRS disable is.
rolloffhill 05-02-2006, 10:35 PM :iamwithst
Turbotug 05-02-2006, 11:00 PM Thanks:rolleyes:
Brayden 05-03-2006, 10:34 AM It's electronic, has one knob, a couple of switches, a few LEDs, 14 wires, and installs in 10 minutes.
Will have completed pic's soon.. Stay tuned :)
Is there any way to disable the pass. air bag? We have a CC and my 10 year old has to sit front middle on trips.
moss022 05-03-2006, 09:36 PM i'm smellin whacha cookin
LTChip 05-03-2006, 11:09 PM I can't smell anything.
What is this a riddle...
What has 14 wires, switches, a knob and rides in a custom cubby hole box?
b_gable 05-03-2006, 11:47 PM I can't smell anything.

lol:lol:
Brayden 05-04-2006, 09:54 AM It can really make some smoke :D
ZR1160 05-04-2006, 10:38 AM Man, you really confusing me does Tom know?
rolloffhill 05-04-2006, 10:49 AM It can really make some smoke :D
A knob, power and smoke??? MUST BE A BANKS 6 GUN....):h :lol:
Brayden 05-04-2006, 11:02 AM haha.. Banks and power in the same sentence.. I don't care who ya are. That's funny right there..
No it's not a six gun.
rolloffhill 05-04-2006, 01:33 PM Ok now for my real guess.....
Boost controller knob, possible some NOS???
SmokeShow 05-04-2006, 01:44 PM My guess by reading his sig........
Something to do with TST competition for LLY Since he is a BETA tester for it?? :D
C-ya
Brayden 05-04-2006, 02:03 PM Not Nitrous..
Yeah, I do have the only TST Powermax CR for LLY. It's raw. It would work with the TST PMCR.
Good guesses keep them coming.... :D
Brayden 05-04-2006, 03:20 PM Raw in a good way.. Big power.
SmokeShow 05-04-2006, 03:42 PM Your own EFI Live tuned ECMs and TCMs that are variably controlled in the cab with LEDs to indicate lockup and switches to switch between tunes?
This is fun guessing for something that will likely not even be viable for me since I have an LB7 :D and no EFI :(
C-ya
Brayden 05-04-2006, 07:45 PM It is variably controlled in cab but has nothing to do with the transmission.
Moss saw the very first prototype in Indy last year.
I'm shooting for a release right around the same time this year.
:muahaha:
Trippin 05-04-2006, 09:25 PM Ok now for my real guess.....
Boost controller knob,
:exactly:
Or fuel control.
Brayden 05-04-2006, 09:29 PM Gettin' closer fellas :)
LTChip 05-04-2006, 09:38 PM Some sort of DSP2 output parameter control?
SmokeShow 05-04-2006, 09:50 PM Some sort of DSP2 output parameter control?
EFI wasn't around last year at IRP. Hummmm.....
I got it...... Its just gonna be a dimmer switch for the LEDs under your dash like the ricers have. :D ;)
C-ya
LTChip 05-04-2006, 10:13 PM Good point. Maybe it's a smoke screen controller.
Brayden 05-04-2006, 10:19 PM I like it.. Very James Bond-esque..
Digital Proportional Rice Controller... Hehe... Another good idea.
Suppose you want another clue?
LTChip 05-04-2006, 10:34 PM Why not - it's a fun riddle and we are getting some good ideas to boot.
Brayden 05-04-2006, 11:04 PM Let me think here for a minute :D
RichLockyer 05-05-2006, 12:24 AM Is there any way to disable the pass. air bag? We have a CC and my 10 year old has to sit front middle on trips.
Not on the CC. The assumption is that the child in the rear-facing seat (which is the situation where the airbag is a hazard) will be in the rear seat.
I believe that a 10 y/o in the middle (where there is no airbag) would be as safe as an adult... bruising and perhaps minor burns from the pyro if he contacts the driver or passenger bags, but alive.
SmokeShow 05-05-2006, 11:01 AM Not on the CC. The assumption is that the child in the rear-facing seat (which is the situation where the airbag is a hazard) will be in the rear seat.
I believe that a 10 y/o in the middle (where there is no airbag) would be as safe as an adult... bruising and perhaps minor burns from the pyro if he contacts the driver or passenger bags, but alive.
Or a broken neck from the whip lash sustaind from not having a head and back support in the middle seat.
I don't like letting people ride in the middle in the front seat, just makes me un easy.
Back on topic......
Brayden 05-05-2006, 03:33 PM Which topic? :D
LTChip 05-05-2006, 11:04 PM Your riddle - ok - either spill the beans or continue the game with another clue.
Wolford 05-06-2006, 09:40 AM Which topic? :D
Tell me this........Does it have anything to do with fueling?;)
Brayden 05-06-2006, 11:10 AM Here's a clue.
It may increase your mileage.
Wolford 05-06-2006, 11:11 AM A tornado):h , I thought those went in the intake path
Brayden 05-06-2006, 04:51 PM :D No, not a tornado... This is actually worth your hard earned money.
parks 05-09-2006, 09:53 AM so what is the deal here???? Why has the game stopped??? Spill the beans already!!!!!!!
Brayden 05-09-2006, 02:26 PM I didn't stop the game.. The guesses stopped :)
G_Mann 05-09-2006, 02:33 PM The guesses stopped because we are tired of your "game." :grd:
Just kidding, I'd say that it's time to tell us now.....if you don't hurry up and tell us, I'll probably put a BD outlook monitor in there when it comes out for the LBZ.
:muahaha:
Brayden 05-09-2006, 03:13 PM I never called it a game.. but uh.. um..
You'll know shortly.. It integrates many vehicles systems to accomplish multiple "value add" features to your truck. :D
How's that for a clue.
RacinJason73 05-09-2006, 04:08 PM I never called it a game.. but uh.. um..
You'll know shortly.. It integrates many vehicles systems to accomplish multiple "value add" features to your truck. :D
How's that for a clue.
Tells me nothing ... "the game" has lost it's luster and I'm to the point where I don't care to check in any longer ... I have better things to do with my time.
Max Power 05-09-2006, 04:25 PM Lol.
RacinJason73 05-09-2006, 04:33 PM Lol.
O.K. you caught me ... I really don't have anything better to do with my time ... ):h
Common, Brayden ... what do you have in mind? Otherwise, I'm gonna fill that spot with a cubbycamera!
Sollly 05-09-2006, 06:25 PM Fuel flow meter/computer etc, etc.
db9938 05-09-2006, 08:32 PM If it don't make coffee, I am going to be really upset waiting this long for an answer.
RichLockyer 05-09-2006, 09:29 PM I'm going to NEED some coffee if I'm going to be awake when we get the answer.
LTChip 05-09-2006, 10:28 PM By the time we get the announcement all the trucks that have this cubby will have been rusted away.
Brayden 05-10-2006, 01:57 AM Hehe.. If my injection molding supplier would hurry up, you wouldn't be waiting this long for an answer. Sorry, it won't make coffee.
I'll tell you this, you can "Set it and forget it" while your driving, it will take care of the rest. It's pretty smart.
I'm sorry for the delay.. I didn't think that this thread would end up this way.. I hate to keep dragging it out, but it's something I have to do to protect my interests. I do know that they will be available in quantity at the DHRA Nationals in Indy.
Again sorry for the suspense, but I and some others think it will be a pretty big hit, so stay tuned :D
rolloffhill 05-10-2006, 02:03 AM I GOT IT!!!!
Auto pilot.....:D
ZR1160 05-10-2006, 06:00 AM I GOT IT!!!!

rdean 05-10-2006, 06:26 AM Another cup holder!
rdean 05-10-2006, 06:27 AM Change that. Needs a button so make it a mini microwave.
Brayden 05-10-2006, 12:08 PM I'll consider that option :D
LTChip 05-10-2006, 01:39 PM Ok - how much will "they" cost?
db9938 05-10-2006, 04:49 PM Hehe.. If my injection molding supplier would hurry up, you wouldn't be waiting this long for an answer. Sorry, it won't make coffee.
Ohhh.....
It's the toaster controls, brillant!
Will it do bagels?
Max Power 05-10-2006, 05:06 PM Ok - how much will "they" cost?
ballpark price range would be interesting.
pepperidge 05-10-2006, 10:08 PM 10 pages for this?...I give up...
2003bigsilverado 05-10-2006, 10:20 PM I made a plug for my cubby hole so that I could mount my gps off of it. I love having the gps lower and in the shade instead of on the windshield in the hot florida sun, not good.
db9938 05-10-2006, 11:52 PM :eek: I knew it!
Pop tarts ala Duramax.
Does that mean the LBZ model will be quicker?
RichLockyer 05-11-2006, 12:39 AM Will it do bagels?
Only if it's an LLY :D
Brayden 05-11-2006, 10:30 AM Back on topic.. :D
Bodysurfer 05-11-2006, 10:37 AM Back on topic.. :D
What topic? The mystery game? ;)
Brayden 05-11-2006, 11:02 AM The original topic :D
Tom S. 05-11-2006, 01:37 PM I want to use mine for the hose outlet on the central vacuum cleaning system I'm going to install.):h
Brayden 05-11-2006, 01:39 PM Hehe.. Need a larger tip huh? :D
db9938 05-11-2006, 09:34 PM Topic? Breakfast is a topic..):h
Will the knob stick out far enough to hold a donut?
rolloffhill 05-11-2006, 09:40 PM The original topic :D
There is now topic....spill it or let us play....:exactly:
Glamisboy 05-12-2006, 02:52 AM Eff this riddle, 11 pages of non-sense. I wouldn't even consider it now, just 'cause.
rdean 05-12-2006, 06:38 AM Can I fit the microwave and central vac in there? Like one of those rotating walls.
Brayden 05-12-2006, 09:35 AM Somebody already guessed it if that makes you feel any better about it. :D
wbens 05-12-2006, 10:16 AM Somebody already guessed it if that makes you feel any better about it. :D
Why don't ya just post what it is? I feel like I'm playin 20 questions x90 with this thread.
Will
Brayden 05-12-2006, 11:10 AM It only applies to the LLY/LBZ guys. There's a big hint.
Diesel Dragon 05-12-2006, 11:26 AM Something to control the VVT ?
Brayden 05-12-2006, 11:29 AM Trippin called it about 5 pages ago.
Jim659 05-12-2006, 11:51 AM Ahh a condom dispenser.):h
Brayden 05-12-2006, 11:57 AM Stephen is going to be a beta tester, even though he doesn't know it yet. :D
buffman 05-12-2006, 01:07 PM :exactly:
Or fuel control.
Wow 12 pages for that.....
Jperry 05-12-2006, 01:15 PM so we are not going to have a gas pedal anymore? just some knob on the dash? J/K
Brayden 05-12-2006, 01:36 PM It's what trippin was referring to first.. not the "or fuel control"
ronadijcks 05-12-2006, 02:11 PM Who has the Cubby hole and who has the Air Bag disable?
Just wondering, because I might just have something that would fit nicely in there.
Thanks in advance.
Pics to follow soon.
My Garmin 2720 is mounted in that cubby.
Since CA changed the laws about stuff in the dash, it works great there.
Brayden 05-12-2006, 02:19 PM Whoops.. Trippin' quoted Rolloffhill..
RolloffHill is right..
It's a VNT controller that allows you to adjust the boost for the amount of fueling that you have :D UP OR DOWN :D
It does not set codes!! This is all that I will say for now.
Brayden 05-12-2006, 02:49 PM While running a big program you can tailor your boost curve to the program.. or you can set it "cap it" and forget it. Ron Popeil helped with the design.
RichLockyer 05-12-2006, 07:42 PM While running a big program you can tailor your boost curve to the program.. or you can set it "cap it" and forget it.
Can it also function as an exhaust brake, shutting the vanes when the brake light comes on?
Ron Popeil helped with the design.
The guy who invented the Pocket Fisherman? :naughty:
rolloffhill 05-12-2006, 07:46 PM Whoops.. Trippin' quoted Rolloffhill..

rolloffhill 05-12-2006, 08:03 PM LOL I don't need anymore of those....:eek:
Man I was actually right for a change....Imagine that.....:cool:
Diesel Dragon 05-12-2006, 10:40 PM Man I was actually right for a change....Imagine that.....:cool:
That's all right, we all know it was just an accident. :D
.
Brayden 05-13-2006, 12:08 AM The Ron popeil thing was a joke. ...
More to come.. Trust me :muahaha:
And for those that got tired of "the game".. I'm sorry, but it will be worth the wait. I've got a few beta testers in mind and they should have them in 2-3 weeks.
Now why did McRat the official I'll Beta Test anything get rid of his VNT?
Roll call for anybody who thinks they'll be a good beta tester for the "mystery box". Gotta be LLY/LBZ.
Thanks,
Brayden
snonut12 05-13-2006, 12:19 AM Sorry if this is a bit off topic, even though this thread has already gotten way off, I just need to know the GM part # for the black factory cubby panel ('02) which itself is what holds the air bag switch and snowplow beacon switch. I have the old one that need to be replaced because it already has some holes drilled and I want to change the aftermarket switch configuation. Thanks.
Brayden 05-13-2006, 09:14 AM Nice threadjack there snownut... I've got that part number somewhere.. I'll get it for you.
snonut12 05-13-2006, 09:51 AM That would be great - thanks!
LTChip 05-13-2006, 10:13 AM So after all this - the thread actually belongs under LLY/LBZ electronic power enhancers?
Brayden 05-13-2006, 11:10 AM Hehe.. Kind of.. but the box is still an interior upgrade/gage pod.
Turbotug 05-13-2006, 03:07 PM McRat has two LLYs;) , Casper and Blue!
JERRY SMITH 05-13-2006, 08:20 PM Where can I buy one, i'm ready? I have 2 neighbors with ferds I have to take out.
Brayden 05-15-2006, 09:45 AM I'll post more details soon. I've got to get my banner done for supporting vendor status. Don't want to step on any toes here :D.

ratlover 05-19-2006, 12:36 PM You ignoring me Brayden? Dont make me call Mike and have him give me your number :joke: :D
ratlover 05-19-2006, 12:37 PM Would this thread be best moved to the LBZ section? ;) :)
ZR1160 05-19-2006, 12:58 PM :D What are you so suprised about Steven ? :D
Life in general:D
Brayden 05-19-2006, 05:06 PM Oh.. Fuel/Air/Turbo etc.. would be fine for this thread.. Possibly LLY/LBZ sections if need be.
ZR1160 05-19-2006, 05:18 PM I WANT MY WIGET! :ro)
Brayden 05-19-2006, 05:28 PM Chad's Widget isn't the same widget as this one.. I suppose you want one of those too ;)

So after all this you are leaving out the LB7's?:(
Brayden 05-19-2006, 09:05 PM If you guys had VNT's I'd include you :( Sorry bud
Brayden 05-22-2006, 09:32 PM There's my thread.. Wondered where it went.. Updates coming soon..
rolloffhill 05-23-2006, 08:56 PM :|
SnowBandit 05-23-2006, 11:13 PM You still need beta testers???? let me know.. I might be intrested...
ratlover 05-24-2006, 02:51 PM The little clicky link confuse you Brayden? ):h
If you need me to give you a hand leme know :)
BodyGuy 05-31-2006, 10:10 PM Interested, How Much? Thanks
Brayden 06-02-2006, 01:17 PM I can post that information here shortly.. Got to be a supporting vendor to post prices on products.
ratlover 06-02-2006, 02:59 PM But you can give em away free if your not a vendor :D :grd: ):h
dmax4u2nv 06-02-2006, 10:47 PM me wants.
RickDLance 06-02-2006, 11:14 PM Brayden
Supporting Vendor
Welcome!!!:):)
Brayden 06-03-2006, 01:42 AM Thank you sir :D
I'll have plenty of updated information by Monday. I think you guys are going to like this little gizmo.
Thanks for your patience,
Brayden
dmax4u2nv 06-03-2006, 02:28 PM im not patient. hurry up. my truck is too stock.:lol: :joke:
haulin-rv 06-03-2006, 10:07 PM :sleep: :sleep: :sleep: Thats how I feel after 17 pages.
Brayden 06-03-2006, 10:41 PM Again sorry for the delay. I'm taking the pressure from here and putting it directly on my suppliers. Stay tuned... You should really like it Haulin-RV :D
Jazman 06-04-2006, 12:14 PM I dont want to read all this, Hows about a summary:D
dmax4u2nv 06-04-2006, 02:14 PM its a boost controller for lly/lbz that is controlled on the dash.
Brayden 06-04-2006, 09:54 PM It does other things also. I'll provide details this week. You'll like it. ;)
rolloffhill 06-04-2006, 10:17 PM How is this any different than the PPE boost controller?
NODMAX 06-04-2006, 10:20 PM How is this any different than the PPE boost controller?
The PPE boost controller is available NOW! :D
rolloffhill 06-04-2006, 10:33 PM The PPE boost controller is available NOW! :D
):h yeah at least they arent' teasing and bs'ing about it, they are actually selling it....you can even see pictures of it.....:eek:
chevy_9465 06-04-2006, 11:24 PM Yeah but PPE aint allowed to sell their stuff here and he is, if i had an lly or lbz id support him instead of a big time company that could careless about their customers:rant: ... its just so hard for the little guys to make anything.
NODMAX 06-04-2006, 11:29 PM Not to get off topic again, but I've had no problems with PPE's customer service...
ratlover 06-05-2006, 11:35 AM :nopics:
Now that your a vendor and the check is no longer in the mail you have no excuses :p: ):h
Brayden 06-05-2006, 11:47 AM Mine doesn't require another add on device just to prevent codes.. That's the difference. Among other things.. Just stick it out for a few more days.. :D
Jazman 06-05-2006, 01:26 PM I'm Convinced, I'll take 10.
Now what am I buying?):h
ratlover 06-05-2006, 02:05 PM 173 posts of just a few more days......keep dangling that carrot dont ya ):h
I have come to realize.....any time you deal with people they will **** you and screw up your game plan/time line. Period, end of story. People suck :D Go kick your plastic guys but and get these peices out already :D
Brayden 06-05-2006, 02:08 PM Just got word 10 minutes ago that the PC boards are in, and I'm going to populate one up tonight and then stuff it in the "cubby hole".. Then go for a drive :D
ratlover 06-05-2006, 02:09 PM So we going to get pics tommarow then? :D
Brayden 06-05-2006, 02:10 PM Watch it buddy or it'll be NOSOUPFORYOU :D
Brayden 06-05-2006, 02:13 PM Could be real life, non 3D modeled pictures tomorrow. Might even shoot a video of it in action, if you're nice. ;)
Bodysurfer 06-05-2006, 02:14 PM Dont do that...................drag this on longer! ;)
ratlover 06-05-2006, 02:31 PM :angel: I'll be good :D
I dont think you ever said if it will make coffee? And it sounds pretty nifty.....will it take pics and vids of itself too :D
Brayden 06-05-2006, 02:58 PM You want me to put in a request for a new smiley for you guys?
"This thread is worthless without information" ::D
I swear you'll know what it is before the week is out.
Brayden 06-05-2006, 03:36 PM No coffee maker on the first release, but I'll consider it in later revisions.
Jazman 06-05-2006, 06:34 PM oh wait i have a backup camera in my cubby hole, Where else can it go?
Brayden 06-05-2006, 07:17 PM Well you could put it anywhere you want, but it's molded to fit inside the cubbyhole. You have a backup camera in the cubby hole or have the monitor in the cubby?
Jazman 06-05-2006, 07:54 PM The Monitor
Brayden 06-05-2006, 08:49 PM I'll have a hide-away unit available after this one gets rolling.
Max Power 06-05-2006, 08:50 PM Funny how people are worried about where they are going to put something and they don't even know what it is :D
Brayden 06-05-2006, 10:43 PM You know you want it ;)
Max Power 06-05-2006, 10:46 PM :D Yeah but only because it adds 200hp!
Brayden 06-05-2006, 10:54 PM Shhh..
db9938 06-06-2006, 12:13 AM Make it fit in place of the power outlet/cigarette lighter, and use the current plastic cap that covers them. That way it could be a "real" james bond kind of gadget.
Brayden 06-06-2006, 12:32 AM I'd definately have to use surface mount technology (SMT) to make that happen. ;) Cost prohibitive :D
yamahaviper 06-06-2006, 02:52 AM Make it fit in that useless hole below the power outlets. You know the one that LOOKS like there SHOULD be something there.
Brayden 06-06-2006, 09:28 PM Man it's like Christmas in June.
These pictures are of the :DINSERT NAME HERE:D (Trademark Application Pending) box and the pc boards in the enclosure.
The enclosure is a rapid prototype of the production unit which is signed off on, and currently at the injection molder.
The 2nd switch is what you'll like :muahaha:
The potentiometer controls boost levels on the fly, without setting codes.
There are over 500 lines of source code backing up the logic in this puppy. You shouldn't have any problems with codes ;)
Here's the pics.. Let me know what you think. The front panel is being laser cut as we speak.

Max Power 06-06-2006, 09:41 PM Looking good. I can't wait to get my hands on one :D
Brayden 06-06-2006, 09:57 PM Soon my friend, soon :D
Max Power 06-06-2006, 10:00 PM What else can you tell us about it? What makes it better then the other units on the market? What are the two push buttons for? And the LED's? Inquiring minds want to know :D
Brayden 06-06-2006, 10:11 PM All 20 LED's?
The left side shows you _______ intensity. The upper row of LED's denote the position of the boost control knob. That way at night you can see exactly where the control knob is.
I'm not going to compare to brand X. But the main benefit with this module is that it plays many roles. It not only is a boost controller (one that doesn't set codes) but it has a much better use that it was specifically designed for. I've added even more features that set it apart from the rest.. I'll let them speak for themselves at launch time.
One switch to enable _______ mode. The other to enable another mode. This mode integrates another system to achieve a better overall result.
The centrally located water clear LED illuminates the __________ logo :D
I just have to protect my interests for a bit longer until the trademark goes through. I've got a great name picked out that describes it's exact function and is catchy.
Got Juice? 06-06-2006, 10:44 PM All 20 LED's?

Cool concept man:ro)
Can't wait until some people get on the list.
it ALMOST makes me want to get an LLY for this and your other BOMB:ro)
too!
Bodysurfer 06-06-2006, 10:59 PM And the pages go on~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~;)
Brayden 06-06-2006, 11:03 PM Did you see the pictures? At least everybody can see that I wasn't crying wolf :D
Bodysurfer 06-06-2006, 11:04 PM Did you see the pictures? At least everybody can see that I wasn't crying wolf :D
Ya, but damn.....20 pages.....LOL. ):h
Brayden 06-06-2006, 11:06 PM Didn't mean for it to be 21 pages.. just happened :D
yamahaviper 06-06-2006, 11:16 PM Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, how much? I want mine! My stock truck needs one...me,me,me,me,me,me (Hand waving in air)
yamahaviper 06-06-2006, 11:17 PM By the way, I can make you some die cut stickers for it......me,me,me,me,me (Hand still waving)
ZR1160 06-07-2006, 06:00 AM So there's a plug behind my cubby hole to go into that! Got to love plug and play..lol
Max Power 06-07-2006, 09:29 AM So there's a plug behind my cubby hole to go into that! Got to love plug and play..lol
Uh.. No You have to run wires.
ZR1160 06-07-2006, 10:28 AM Uh.. No You have to run wires.
WHAT! GM didn't know Brayden was going to invent it:eek:
Brayden 06-07-2006, 11:28 AM Umm.. Don't quite get it... yeah you'll have to run wires.. You have to cut a hole in your cubby hole too.. Then run wires through the firewall, but it's just as easy to install as an Edge.
As far as splicing wires goes.. none of that.. Just plug & play.
Got Juice? 06-07-2006, 12:15 PM Just PAY, plug & play.):h
Darn BOMB Dealers!
ZR1160 06-07-2006, 03:14 PM Umm.. Don't quite get it... yeah you'll have to run wires.. You have to cut a hole in your cubby hole too.. Then run wires through the firewall, but it's just as easy to install as an Edge.

:cool2:
Brayden 06-07-2006, 05:17 PM The actual production boxes will be black instead of blue. Which knob do you want on there? Chrome or Black?
The face of the box will most likely be black or a dark color as to blend in with the dash.
Max Power 06-07-2006, 05:19 PM Hard to say until you see it but probably black. Of course some will want chrome, :bling:
Brayden 06-07-2006, 05:29 PM I guess they're more brushed aluminum than chrome :D but hey.. you can accessorize your cubby hole box ....
Offer custom Grillz ;D
BodyGuy 06-07-2006, 11:33 PM I say black Stealth Like
Brayden 06-07-2006, 11:37 PM I'm leaning towards black also. An aluminum knob won't blend in too well with the other black knobs on the Dual Climate controls and radio.
What is your oppinion Philip? :D
yamahaviper 06-08-2006, 02:15 AM Black....but sell an additional spun aluminum one for $19.95 more.
Brayden 06-08-2006, 02:17 AM I wish I could get $20.00 for an aluminum knob.. I'll probably just sell them all with black. If you want the aluminum knob I guess I could stock them and sell a few here and there. Don't think it would be worth the effort.
It could be.. We'll see.
G_Mann 06-08-2006, 03:10 AM Does this thing work on the LBZ?:ro)
What is the cost?-:t
When will it be available and at what rates of production!?:grd:
Brayden 06-08-2006, 09:42 AM Should be available in production quantity, as many as you want, by the end of June. There will be production run units to touch, feel, use at the Indy DHRA event.
IF we don't have to change the software much for 2006 LLY/LBZ then it will work for 2004.5 and up.
Pricing is 595.00 for the base model, and 695.00 for the V2. Diesel place members will get a discount to be determined.
Max Power 06-08-2006, 09:45 AM Doesn't leave much time for Beta testing. :D
Brayden 06-08-2006, 10:28 AM I know I know.. I've got 10 boards or so that we're going to try to populate this weekend.
ratlover 06-08-2006, 10:29 AM I prefer the stock look. So a face and a knob that matched the interior would be my preference.
Brayden 06-08-2006, 11:13 AM Well nobody asked you... Did they :D
ZR1160 06-08-2006, 01:56 PM Can you give some example of practical appication? When towing I see only a little boost and in a drag race situation don't the vanes change as the boost changes?
Max Power 06-08-2006, 01:59 PM If your EGT's are high towing you could turn the boost up to decrease EGTs.
Brayden 06-08-2006, 02:04 PM Or if you're twins are making too much boost compounded you can lower the "duty cycle" if you will of the VNT.
It mimics the factory vane position curve, just adds or cuts from it.
ratlover 06-08-2006, 02:12 PM Well nobody asked you... Did they :D
Um.....yeah they did. Post 217 cupcake, read it. I'll be waiting for my formal appology :p:
):h
Got Juice? 06-08-2006, 02:52 PM Um.....yeah they did. Post 217 cupcake, read it. I'll be waiting for my formal appology :p:

):h Cupcake?
Ratlover, you changing fences on us? :eek:
Brayden 06-08-2006, 02:56 PM He's a sheep herder now.. Or was it goats?
Sorry dude.. Yeah.. black knobs you wanted those right? :D hehe
ratlover 06-08-2006, 02:58 PM Mr. rough tough cream puff himself is trying to start crap eh?
Change fences? No.....I havent taken your advice yet and put in a fence with slats just wide enough for a sheep to stick its head through yet narrow enough were it cant get it back out. In the midwest we just view livestock as food not "entertainment".
Brayden 06-08-2006, 03:23 PM We've got about a hundred head of hamburger out back :D
Anyways back on topic...

Ok, that will work for me:ro)
Jazman 06-12-2006, 07:44 PM Im confused does it work on the 06's or not??
BodyGuy 06-12-2006, 10:57 PM What happened here did all of the hype die or am I being left out in the dark since I am a new guy:secret: Oh well no hard feelings and dont worry I still have that special place in my truck for your box:bawl: :anitoof: :anitoof:
ratlover 06-13-2006, 11:51 AM Im confused does it work on the 06's or not??
Thats what this widget is designed for ;)
He has other widget for other trucks I believe. Plus he is working on a coffe maker ):h
Brayden 06-13-2006, 04:36 PM It'll work on 2004.5 LLY's through 2006 LBZ's. :D
Brayden 06-13-2006, 04:48 PM Just an update. We've got about 10 units that are built and will be sent to testers. After a short beta testing period we'll finalize a few details and hopefully go to market around July 1st.
what will be the difference between the two choices? i remember you sayin one is like a hundred bucks more than the other.
Riccas 06-15-2006, 08:54 AM Is this boost controller something to use in conjuction with a chip/tuner or best used by itself. I don't want to blow up my motor or turbo on my $50k truck
Brayden 06-15-2006, 11:40 AM It is a boost controller and can be used on stock or modified trucks. It will only allow about 35 psi of boost peak to be made. Anything beyond this doesn't make any more power. It also allows you to decrease the amount of boost made so that when cruising you can decrease drive pressure and increase your mileage.
Leadfoot 06-15-2006, 12:02 PM It is a boost controller and can be used on stock or modified trucks. It will only allow about 35 psi of boost peak to be made. Anything beyond this doesn't make any more power. It also allows you to decrease the amount of boost made so that when cruising you can decrease drive pressure and increase your mileage.
I thought I remember reading that the stock turbo isn't expected to live long over 31 psi of boost. Is that true for the LLY/LBZ, and if so is there anyway to limit the device as to not allow overboost for the idiots in the bunch (like me).
Fingers 06-15-2006, 02:01 PM No gains over 30 PSI. LLY and LBZ turbos are fine clear up to about 40 but it is hard to get them there. Drive pressure is the big problem.
Donovan 06-15-2006, 07:19 PM Mine doesn't require another add on device just to prevent codes.. That's the difference. Among other things.. Just stick it out for a few more days.. :D
Which BTW....doesn't work.
JoshH 06-16-2006, 02:16 AM Which BTW....doesn't work.What do you mean? Are you saying Brayden's boost box will throw codes? What reason do you have to make a comment like that? Have you run his box or know someone who does?
Brayden 06-16-2006, 08:48 AM I hope ;) and think he was agreeing with with me about the code blocker. I think he was stating it doesn't work.
Nobody is running this box as of yet.. There are two trucks that I know will have them in them at indy. You'll be able to check them out.
I figured that I'd allow 35psi just for the folks that want to go over 30.. I can limit it to whatever in the software.
The VNT Map indicator lights depict whether you're in the safe zone or "red" zone in respect to boost levels and added vane position "delta".
ratlover 06-16-2006, 10:26 AM Decrease boost? Like decrease over stock? Like I will be able to turn my truck into a smoke billowing machine at the turn of a knob? Thats worth the price of admission :D
Brayden 06-16-2006, 10:43 AM I wasn't going to go right out and say that.. But yeah.. I guess you can call it a smoke machine too :D
