Mechanical cable to mechanical governor:) throttle responds great… depending on how they generate or alter a reference voltage(5vin, 0-5v out) something like a shorted winding section in a variable resistor could cause part of the pedal to be VERY non-linear. so instead of 20%pedal = 20%...

So have you measured your pedal to see if it is delivering a linear output? Garbage in=garbage out...

Yep, ECU would be where this would be altered, but it still relies on the TPS sensor functioning properly…

Yea i am not sure how the cat ECU uses or alarms on tps info. In general they typically accept any response within its recorded min and max signals. Sometimes they will record faults on eratic operation but tgat depends on how tgey are programmed and configured...

Wheel spin/speed is only looked at by ABS and shouldnt effect throttle respons...

Looks like the old battery electrolyte level tester, most junk them... That plug aft of the battery box is a boich connector. That finned dryer typically uses a different plug for the dryer heating element. Is this an A0 or an A1 truck, cause that is an A0 dryer...

I wonder if your TPS sensor is linear? It could have small dead spots in the low end. The ECU may be programmable for response, dut will still rely on a properly working TPS...

Well if moving ABS will interfere with individual wheel lockups and add pulse/applications that can actually make things worse. Quite a few topics i have read where people disable basic ABS for these type offroad operations. I have not offroaded much in an ABS equipped vehicle though... What...

well if you were going to be doing more of this type downhill driving, it would not be all that difficult to put together a more precise hand brake control. A lever, a pneumatic cylinder and a relay valve with an air supply, connected to the front blue glad-hand. The lever and cylinder would...

Well the 1079 is 500# closer to balanced when fully loaded:)

Thats one reason why I am not concerned about building my habitat out of steel:) i think i am still probably going to wind up a little nose heavy...

I have a m1079 let me look at my door panels which are off in the back of my garage, to see if I have the weight and balance placard... IMO your goal should be near a 50/50 axle weight distribution on a 4x4 for a couple reasons. 1. Tire wear with CTIS. It applys 1 pressure to both axles...

But it is like the pencil rolling on the table. You can attach it to your hand, but you must also disconnect it from the table(inner gear). There is an inner gear, the spider gears and an outer gear. The inner gear has splines and is slid onto splines on the main spindle that the wheel...

Yes the axle is splined to the outer gear, the outer gear rolls the spider gears that roll on the inner gear that is fixed to the hollow spindle. take a pencil and lay it on the table. Place your fingertips on the pencil and roll it across the table with your fingers and palm of your hand...

This right here. Mine is a 98 with the WTEC 2…

And his was the A0 with a WTEC 3 that was already configured for the ex brake…

That would be a fairly complex mechanism creating 2 simultaneous operations(couple A, while uncoupling B), all inside a hub casing that is already full of gears. You of course are more than welcome to build a better mousetrap, but i am not seeing anyone clamoring to rip out the Ecos and put...

The sidewall bulge really shows the lack of weight in the back. With different axle weights, the same applied tire pressure yields very different tire footprints/tire bulge. Balance Grasshopper…:)

To articulate more in the rear, we would also need a rear swaybar disconnect, as that inhibits the axle from following the terrain...

Yea even my piddly little 3116 should be able to schlep 20K up ~41 deg... Again, available traction notwithstanding...
