Thank you to both of you for posting.
I have a 2024 Dark Horse with handling package.
My brakes are awesome, and I thought I would use the stock brake pads when the old ones needed to be changed.
How do I figure out which of the two that you both posted are correct for my application (24 DH...
I pay $22 to the dealer.
Like sdsteele2, I buy the oil and the filter on rockauto (cannot beat the price anywhere).
For my wife's Explorer ST we also pay the dealer to rotate the tires, but I guess I can't really do that on my Dark Horse with the handling package.
I just noticed that fourth in the Muncie and seventh in the A10 are also the same, meaning that the rpm drop from third to fourth in the Muncie is the same as the rpm from from sixth to seventh in the A10.
BUT second in the Muncie is 1.64, meaning there is a bigger rpm drop in the "close ratio"...
Frankly, in the 80s and 90s when I used to sit and calculate overall gearing with the rear end and rpm at highway speed, the gearing that the 10 speed allows would have been unimaginable back then.
First gear in the Dark Horse A10 is 4:07. 4:07 x 3.55 (differential gearing) = 14.4485
For my...
It seems like a half second delay in applying the brakes would be very dangerous.
At 85 mph (a pretty normal speed on the 70 mph interstate around here), the car is covering 124.667 feet per second. You have an emergency. You slam on those brakes. Your car proceeds another half a second, or...
I keep reading about this throttle response issue.
I sold my Audi. It had a huge delay in throttle response. Like if I was at an intersection and punched the gas pedal to the floor, it would just sit there for a while. When driving fast through a turn, I would have to roll onto the gas...
I would have no issue whatsoever running 3500 rpm for a few minutes or so.
If you go to a track day, you probably will not drop under 5000 rpm for half an hour at a time, five sessions a day.
