    You know what is really impressive about Dave?
    He's quiet.

      He's the "imma just gonna do my job" type of guy, not attracting any attention to himself. He also seems like the kind of guy that moves slow, but works methodical and efficient and gets more done than most while working at 75% speed. I had a colleague like that, didn't say much and talked and moved "kinda" slow... but wasn't yapping the whole day, just minded himself and his work and got more done than anyone else... AND cleaned up after himself. Best guy to do a job with, 'ol' reliable'.

      This is what freaks me out with all types of vehicles. We are counting on the reaction time of others so we don't die and it doesn't help when people have no brakes and no tread on their tires (or the wrong tires) so even if the driver has above average skill and reacts quickly to a situation they have no control are plowing into people anyway.
      Also why do people who "upgrade" their cars with aftermarket rims always cheap out on tires from some brand nobody has heard of like Xeneos or Zufang or something. There's a similar Nissan Pathfinder in my neighborhood rolling on mis-aligned cheap alloys with bald tires. "Upgraded" but dirty and never maintained.

She ended up replacing all four that afternoon. Her foolish husband was whining that tires should last 50,000-60,000 miles, but she had a sports car with “performance” tires that were rated for only 30k. I have spent time trying to educate them but some things don’t sink in.

      My father used to get 80,000 miles out of a cheap set of bias ply tires on his 1965 Volkswagen. That was the only car in our family that got that many miles off of a set of tires. I had a 2003 Impala LS that needed new tires every 25,000 miles. When the tires were being replaced on that Impala the rack and pinion steering gear unit also had to be replaced because it started leaking fluid. So it was a set of tires, rack and pinion, and wheel alignment. The total bill for that Impala was about $2,500.00. I sold that car.

    Considering how they manage tyres, I bet they never changed the brake fluid either, and it's water content helped rust out the line.

    If I were in the market for a gas vehicle, I would be interested in that truck. It looks surprisingly good! If the engine/transmission isn't really skunked, a little work here and there and a visit to your local Uncle Emilio's Auto Interiors (Oh come, on, you HAVE to have a Hispanic interior repair shop there). No one does a better job on interiors than our Hispanic businesses. Uncle Emilio is now my good friend, even did a seamless repair on my Tesla white rear seat. The local Tesla body shop saw his work and marveled at it. They redid my '71 Ghia Convertible and my '68 Chevelle, look and smell better than new.

    The ford trucks with the posi rear differential had a bad habit of sticking because ford didn't use enough conditioner in them. Takes about twice as much as recommended. Drive it and make some sharp 90 degree turns at low speed. If you hear a noise it's the antilock brakes pulsing. Hook a heavy trailer to the truck and pull it around. The diff will free up. Mike

    That wasn't the inner carcass of the tire. What you were seeing is the NAZ or BAZ strips. The actual first stage (or inner carcass) doesn't really have the structural strength, so a thin strip of a specific rubber compound - about an inch wide, is wrapped around that first stage, then the plies, then the tread. STILL; however, probably time to think of a new tire or two...

    • @isaiahwelch8066
      @isaiahwelch8066 25 дней назад

      The reluctor ring is for the electronic system on the differential, in terms of the locking axle.
      Way it works is, the reluctor ring is used in conjunction with the ABS and vehicle speed sensors to essentially tell if one wheel is abnormally turning faster than the other.
      Under normal conditions, whenever a car or truck makes a turn, the outer wheel, which is on the opposite side being turned into, e.g., a left turn, with the right rear wheel turning faster than the left, is programmed into the software logic for the vehicle ECU. That way, the axle doesn't lock up under normal conditions and cause "Poor Man's Posi Hop."

      @Digidoc316 25 дней назад

      @@isaiahwelch8066 Thanks for the heads up on the reluctor ring but I'm still not understanding. Yes, the wheel speed sensors and the differential reluctor can send data to the computer but, without clutch packs or a solonoid-actuated locking mechanism, how does the rear end lock up?
      More importantly, why was it locked up when Dave held one wheel and Ray couldn't spin the other wheel?
