Silverleaf VMSpc Screen Cloning

[Gregory OConnor]

Kurt,facilitating passanger involvemt would require moving the
coffee maker to the dash.

The one thing I miss with driving the bus is early warning engine
noise. I dont miss the noise but fear not hearing trouble. Some
time back there was a guy who posted looking for sound tracs of the
8v92 and tranny sounds?????? kinda got me thinking of what the
benefits of sounds were. Wonder if you could math out a sound and
have the computer compare realtime sound to prove normal and
adnormal. this could help with the toad also. things like ;bad tire
tread and ;squeeling bearings, ;hissing hoses etc are unique and
adnormal. Sound is funny I can hear my cell phone and horns if I
wear headphones while on my loader otherwise all I hear is the
loader!!! Sound is an interesting early warning paramater. many
large gensets have a vibration cadence shutdown system, who whould
have considered that?
