05 Dakota 4X4 problem

From : labanz

Q: yup couldnt have anything to do with the dozens of other variables like conditions design aerodynamics under the truck etc. funny how my 95 lines in just as crappy weather have managed to hold out for over 100k with my just replacing the flex lines as a matter of pm rather than necessity. i think tbones truck just doesnt like him.... go figure. my 95 is just over 100k and are just fine but they have been very easy miles no salt from plowing snow no dirt and mud from pulling wagons out of the fields ect. you all have never seen a truck babied such as mine. g denny haulin your fat ass around.vbg roy .

ahh...those rich greedy republican business owners are only greedy certain years eh nah - its all about the germans. just like when they bombed pearl harbor they forced dodge to use sub-standard brake lines. ve vant you to use zee crappy lines for zee amerikaner vehicles yah is this really the best that you can do and completely incorrect at that. zee germans did not own dodge in 97 and when exactly did germany bomb pearl harbor do you know for a fact that they didnt use a slightly lower quality material in 97 in an attempt to cut costs it is possible that they just got a bad batch of line in 97 but with other things such as delaminating paint and bad bearings in the 9 1/4 rear as well as other quality problems i am thinking more toward the first reason. btw i see that your noise levels are reaching all new highs welcome to the club. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

this just wasnt making any sense to me so i read it again. inertial dynos dynojet for example dont... they measure power be it hp or kw and interpret torque based on engine rpm. i missed this part the first time around. i understand what you said now. -- ken .

100 hp @ 1000 rpm = 525.2 lbs/ft torque 100 hp @ 10000 rpm = 52.52 lbs/ft torque whats this for whats this for its to show that a horsepower number alone does not accurately describe the ability an engine has to do work. no kidding thats why they typically pair it with a torque rating. note the word pair. it means both hp and torque are important. this is the point so let me repeat..... it means both hp and torque are important. you said if it takes 100ftlbs to turn a shaft one shaft will turn 6 times as fast meaning more work is done. well use that same shaft again comparing the two 100 horsepower engines. the engine that makes 100 hp @ 1000 rpm has 525 lbs/ft of torque. thats plenty of torque to do the job. in fact it can run 5 shafts each requiring 100 lbs/ft of torque all at the same time. the engine that produces 100 hp @ 10000 rpm makes less than 53 lbs/ft of torque. if it takes 100 lbs/ft of torque to turn the shaft it will not be able to turn the shaft at all. no work is being done. congrats you can do the math. you still dont seem to understand that torque isnt the only thing that needs to be talked about. if it were wed be getting complete tables of torque and rpm. ill give you another example. no need i already know how the two work together. you were the one that said torque was everything. im not saying that horsepower ratings are meaningless. im only saying that horsepower ratings are less meaningful without an rpm to go along with them. ok........ 1000ft lbs. wow thats useful...... get it yet -- max there are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty soap ballot jury and ammo. please use in that order. -ed howdershelt author max dodge wrote that is the point that i disagree with. a horsepower number does not describe an engines ability the same at different rpms. 100 horsepower at 1000 rpm is 10 times stronger than 100 horsepower at 10000 rpm. 100 lbs/ft of torque has the same ability no matter what rpm it occurs at. um... no. 100ft lbs at 1000rpm is 19hp. 100ft lbs at 6000rpm is 114hp. if it takes 100ftlbs to turn a shaft one shaft will turn 6 times as fast meaning more work is done. looks like different abilities to me. 100 hp @ 1000 rpm = 525.2 lbs/ft torque 100 hp @ 10000 rpm = 52.52 lbs/ft torque whats this for .
