Thanks for the info chip. Sounds centrally locales

Nice view Andy! Is that on a loop at FW?

You guys are nuts, the pictures have the correct orientation showing on Chrome.
That’s what I meant FRED, bite me.

More ads about widgets and crap that I will never buy or use. It has gotten to the point that I don’t think it is worth the dues money anymore. Hardly anything worth reading in the magazine these days.

I was wondering how I was going to take my boat with me when we hit the road. Now I have a new option.

I was wondering about Geo and Corey if they were still at State Fair Park or not, I guess this answers the question. Bummer.

We said many times on here Tucson doesn’t have diddly because they don’t have to, the blue hairs will come anyway.
Lazydays is your best bet.

sorry Bill, thought you were still hunting Tucson
call Steve at Premium in PHX, he’s gotta know Scottsdale

Ditto what Joel said.. The only precaution is you don’t have the AC 110 volt power being supplied to the charger on an inverter circuit, where it would be on while driving.

Per
That was a good one

Harry, if you’re in a bind, I can drive my bus to your neck of the woods and transfer some of the warm Florida air from my tires into yours. Maybe that will help you get you through the Winter months.

What a great explanation of the split differential…

Nice explanation BDuplan. That phenomenon makes sense now. Thanks

Just to clarify the differential operation, an open differential always splits torque evenly to both sides. It can’t send more torque to one pair of drive tires than the other.
When one pair of tires looses traction, there is little resistance to react the torque and the result is that you can’t generate much torque at either side. Imagine pushing on a tree with 50 pounds of force. Now imagine pushing on a tulip. You’ll never be able to apply 50 pounds to the tulip because it pushes over before you reach that force. The same principle applies to a tire with no traction. You can’t apply 1000 lb-ft of torque to the tire in the sand because it only takes 100 lb-ft to spin. (I’m making up these numbers here.) So because you can only put 100 lb-ft to the spinning tire, you can also only send 100 lb-ft to the tire with traction. Your differential always splits torque evenly, so it can’t send more torque to the tire with traction than can be taken by the slipping tire. That reduced torque to the drive tire that has traction isn’t enough to get you moving. So in reality, you are always powering both sides. It’s just that the same torque makes one tire spin and not the other.
Some vehicles have limited slip or locking differentials, which does allow more torque to be sent to the tire with traction.

Rest In Peace Bill.
