That is not correct. Units are a part of it, sure, but you have to have the right values also. The values are more important. The units just help you make sure you’ve included all the correct ones.

Leave it to a bad engineer. I’m also an engineer and I can’t stand this shit. It slows me down too much, and if you can’t see why anything time related and with a factor of 60 is easy to sort out without this shit I question your actual abilities.

Speak for yourself. This shit is annoying and slows me down. Some conversions are better memorized; such as the ratio between anything with hours, minutes, seconds, and factors of 60 in them... 

What annoys me most about this is that the Revs Per Mile calculation is that it has a built-in error equivalent to the…

The fact that those automotive engineers don’t know that the root cause for why you want the transmission to be prevented from spinning while being flat towed (lack of lubrication due to the input shaft not spinning) and that fact that I - as an engineer who would love to be in the automotive industry but don’t have…

Bro, you need to read “i” again. Those sheets are, in fact, infracting against the code.

David,

Why the heck do you think that Dex/Merc III is acceptable in an electronically-controlled Chrysler transmission?

I guess you’ve not seen this TSB?

This thing can get literally 0 miles of range and the promise of “Up to 520” is still valid.

Why do so many of you people fall for this bullshit???

No, they don’t realize that. “Big Oil” is the boogeyman and they’ll grasp at any straw they can.

They can’t even give up oil themselves (nor would they want to, because they don’t know what they’d be giving up), and yet they want everyone else to.

You can’t build EVs without oil. Period. The materials you need to make EVs even remotely viable for a small amount of the population are directly sourced from oil-stuffs, and many are only affordable because they are BYPRODUCTS of fuel refinement...

Do yourself a favor and educate yourself.

Subsidizing oil? Why don’t you put your money where your mouth is. Stop using plastics of any kind, stop driving, stop using anything that needs lubrication, stop eating foods planted by machines using all sorts of oil-stuffs, stop having refrigeration for that matter - I can keep going.

You are a naive idiot. You have…

It’s not “pointlessly beautiful.” The “beauty” - the colored anodizing - has a very specific point.

I just did over 750 miles in 12.5 hours yesterday while hauling the whole family and all the shit we got at the holidays. And that’s just the return trip...

I’ll be doing that and more again later this month.

Let me know when you can go 1000+ miles in a continuous 24-hour period in a single vehicle...

I guess you guys don’t know that in many, many places, you can legally register and drive (on the highway/street) these SxS/UTV/ATV vehicles.

Instead of buying a Jeep that you also use for a UTV, you can now buy this Roxor and use it as a Jeep on the highway.

That’s why Jeep is up in arms about this.

Exactly. This is dumb. Why spend the time to engineer/program something that ELIMINATES A SIGNIFICANT ADVANTAGE to LEDs.

Instant-on at full intensity is a lifesaver. Strobing (3-strobes-then-solid) CHMSLs should also be a standard thing.

The pictured RV is a at least a Class B, and likely a Class A there are special licenses for those. If it has air brakes, that’s a special endorsement that you must also get.

You’re confusing a CDL with license classifications.

You need a higher licenses classification to drive that RV (and big trucks, semis, buses, etc.), but you don’t need a CDL if you’re not driving those things commercially.

You need a CDL to drive even basic commuter cars commercially.

You can buy a semi truck and…

Bingo! Glad someone else knows how to parse technical data.

A better solution is to mandate that IP lighting is tied to marker lights, rather than mandating auto lighting...

If you can’t see the IP, you’ll turn your lights on. This was NOT an issue in prior to the late 90s, and it’s for that reason.

That’s the fault of the people who irresponsibly bought cars, not the automakers.

These trucks are great tools for new car dealers. Customer comes in, looks at new loaded truck, finds out that they only have the budget for the mid-level when we’re talking sticker (basically) and instead of giving up ground on the new vehicle (either loaded or mid-level), you switch to the almost-new loaded model on…
