Believe it or not, it’s relatively easy to design the logic behind these devices for most engineers. Then it’s just a matter of fitting all the correct types of devices (or logic gates) that will control the valves. Even the engineer who designed the valve body probably couldn’t look at one and tell you how it works.…

Automatic transmission valve bodies are basically hydraulic computers. They have transistors (valves), resistors (passages of different lengths and cross-sectional areas), and capacitors (chambers). They receive input signals (oil pump pressure, speed sensor pressure, and throttle position) and calculate output…

Perfect! I also happen to have 2.4 kids exactly!

2.4 five cylinder Volvo right here... but how does it equal a V12?

I’ll get my sawzall

Forget V12,

Anyone who suggests a BMW when what this guy is asking for is durable and dependable either didn’t read the article or is a sadist.

You have faith in Toyota. Keep it in the family.

Boy could I do without Mike Skinner’s stupid commentary.

We must have vastly different senses of humor. Skinner’s jokes were my least favorite part of the show other than the lamely repetitive and predictable “star” segment.

A digital or a dial caliper. All those tools, you have to work at it, but just holding a proper caliper around any sort of machinery makes you look official and look like you know something.

He’s gonna need to move the wheels back on that mailbox otherwise it’s going to have a ton of sway.

Is that a stanced Ferrari??

There’s a book called the BMP4 that gives advice to captains on preparing their vessels for transit through the High Risk Area and for responding to pirate attacks. I don’t remember it mentioning specific manoeuvres but it’s an interesting read:

You’re basing that on the assumption that the ship was turning away from the pirates.

that wasnt much of a drop, I dont imagine a stock Raptor would have had much/any trouble with that. Honestly surprised this truck couldnt even survive it

Oh, I think I get it. It’s not so much the axle is moving in the opposite direction. It’s just that the pursuer is moving at a speed that’s faster than the axle, which has slowed down considerably since it’s now bouncing off the road.
