I found a recent episode of Autoline After Hours pretty interesting if you want to know why VW is so profitable. Also the US emissions control regulation regime is much less corrupt and also more stringent than Europe, which is why other countries will increasingly be adopting US emissions standards.

Dammit that truck at the end just reminded me of my Blazer. As much of a piece of poo poo as it was, that ignition buzzer and starter sound is nostalgic.

Stadium trucks have always been pretty amazing but now they're racing them on a tight road course with added jumps. Looks like a lot of fun to me. Race starts around the 6 minute mark.

Yeah, the first half of the video reeked too much of "I watched some Chris Harris, James May, and Richard Hammond, I can totally do that!"

I admit to being slightly sad that we didn't get a single "mint!", especially when we got to that Ram. I'd have even settled for a "BAM!".

Thanks for that, I don't usually watch ignition, so I would have missed it otherwise.
Going by my reckoning, Roadkill should be on tomorrow right?

Im just gonna say, im into old cars bunched together with zipties and vice grips as much as the next guy. I drove without a starter in my 88 corolla for a year by only parking on hills. Im sure he was just acting, but I would never sit in the back of a Maybach and call it garbage. When something is nice, its loving nice.

Can't say I've heard of a clutch-type LSD in anything 2-ton and up, but I don't deal much in medium duty or off-road equipment, just heavy on-road trucks. We see the odd 2-5 ton but they're few and far between.

It does exist for OTR trucks with Meritor's Smartandem system:

quote:

To protect itself from damage, the diff lock uses a face-clutch mechanism rather than a full spline lock. The clutch allows for safe, smooth engagement even if a wheel is already spinning on ice, but the system will not engage the cross-lock if there is a great difference in wheel speed.

The face-clutch versus splined coupling (as found on the FuelLite's 160-series axle) makes the difference, Allen says.

With the 160 series you have to be almost stopped to lock the diffs, he explains. SmarTandem has a face clutch that can be engaged with a greater speed differential between the wheel-ends. The control system manages the engagement and lockup almost immediately upon sensing slippage, so it's very proactive, as opposed to a driver's reaction, which would normally be after-the-fact and only at very slow speeds.
