  1. Wide vs Narrow Tires — a Scientific Comparison

    I have noticed in my Big Bend that with 245/65/17 the lack of power makes the transmission suffer and heats faster making the system to fail and go on limp mode. I will try lighter tires with gravel grip. What thoughts you have ?

  2. Torque convertor went bad

    Can you explain how it felt before diagnost How did you noticed the Torque Converter was failing. I have an appointment for a new transmission because it sounds like a grinding noise when shifting at low revs and shakes at low speeds shifts.

    Indeed I feel the same. I change my tires from 225 to 245 maybe you have a point. But another model has the same gear ratios and the 245 so the only way that could happen is that a factory tune came with the different tire set.

    I need to be at low speed because there are some rock and holes which would hit my underbody. After testing the area several times I could advance with a bit more momentum. But it is not a 5 mile per hour area. It is loose and has inclination.

    I am going to make a video about that. I've tried also that. Including waiting some seconds to down temp risks. But it is not a temp problem i think is an overprotection issue. I am going to make some arrangements for a transmissiom temp gauge and analise if it is a temp issue. I mostly think is...

    Thats true. I bought mine back in April 2021 these BS were the first to arrive to PR. I didnt check anything about them on the internet after getting it ? So I bought it specially because it said on the window sticker 4x4. I felt a bit dissapointed when discovered no transfer case in it. I can...

    YES 4wd was disabled faster in sand mode. But it made better work climbing.

  20. My Big Bend disabled 4wd after seconds of climbing on loose ground.

    Yes indeed. I tried Normal mode and trac off with the L gear it was lame power. It looks a slight hill but it is not. This one on the video is a slight hill. Yes I tried. Normal mode , trac off and L Gear. But no power allowed. Sand Mode and L. Good response. The hill is not that slight...
