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...

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...

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...

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…:)

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

Probably not towing anything, but the math says still plenty capable... A 1078 with 5K onboard would weigh in around 21,500#? With Ecos(3.9:1), a 3126B @~800ft/lb, at peak torque, should be able to deliver ~17,000# of thrust from the tires. It should be able to pull 24,000# up ~45degrees of...

This is an automatic transmission. Under those type downhill situations, it is ALL braking as the engine offers NO braking force. The crawl ratios also do not really apply to automatic transmissions as under low speed conditions, we are not hard coupled to the transmission. Ours are only hard...
