Weird from someone who publicly posts their name, phone number, email, and Skype (RIP) online.
@Ratbert

I would appreciate it if someone else would reach out to him. Maybe he just forgot my name, maybe you'll have better luck than I did.

Some ppl just leave and others just leave temporarily to see how much they get missed before coming back. 🤣🤣

I really hope you're right but unfortunately I feel like they're might be something wrong. I hope not. 🙏

I might try and give him another call.

He and I butted heads a few times. But I'm pretty sure I've (erroneously or not) butted heads with most everyone here.

Maybe an old school email from someone as gregarious as @Tredsdert?

I’m not computer savvy with car stuff at all and I recently bought and used jscan for my axle swap. I really enjoy it….user friendly and simple. Also seems like you can get pretty technical with it but I’m just grateful I can change the axle ratio, tire size, stuff like that with the click of a button.

I'm glad you posted that. So when someone re-gears this needs to be done?

Yes…supposedly it changes the shift points in the transmission so the gears in the axle and the gears in the transmission synchronize correctly. I got to say I can’t really notice a big difference going from 3.45’s to 4:10’s and having the same 315/70/17’s the whole time but that’s what I read with the research I did.

I hit up his son on Instagram, to no avail.

I figure if he's alive, he probably wants to be left alone. I'd say, give the man his peace!

Yep. If you don't your speedo will be off, your transmission (assuming an auto) probably won't like 8th and won't be shifting optimally, and your gas mileage will suffer. There are supposedly bizarre issues if you don't change those settings with a manual trans + the latest firmware updates, but I'm not sure how much of that's been confirmed.

Most people either use a Tazer or a JScan to change those settings. Tazer does a crapload of cool shit (turn assist FTW), but the user interface and instruction manual are severely lacking.
