AZ BS Thread 2.0

A man walks into a bar and asks the bartender for a case of beer, any kind except Schlitz. The bartender says "What's wrong with Schlitz, don't you like it?" The man says, "I hate that shit. Last night I drank a whole case of Schlitz and blew chunks. The bartender says, "You drink a case of any beer you're going to blow chunks." "You don't understand;" says the man, "Chunks is my dog."

 

Yup

I spent half an hour with the BFH to get rid of that.

 

Yeah I'm actually going to do high clearance fenders while I wait for glass lol

 

Whats up people from arizona you ever get on tw and procrastinate?

 

Oh yeahs I got my phone power so text me!

 

not lately since were out on winter break

 

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned!

 

Hey, hey... I'm nice. Mostly.

 

Truth, I just found it funny you remembered that, and I totally still don't lol.

 

hey guys, quick question...

Light weight fly wheel... Yes or no for offroading??? I dont need more acceleration, but want better offroading....

 

Perhaps I am incorrect. I was drinking at the time! Ha.

 

Hmm not sure, ultimatly all that matters is what kind of abuse it can take... I would go with a clutch that you can slip easier though (aka non puck style).

Awesome lol.

 

Hmm might be benificial

 

I think the general consensus is the heavier is better for offroading, it keeps the engine turning, more stored energy in the flywheel (i.e. rotational mass) for slow low speed situation.

I am just curious if anyone has any experiance with them as well as the URD clutches.

 

Well technically wouldn't it only affect higher rpm ranges, or am I thinking opposite?

 

It actually would affect all RPMS. With a heavier fly wheel it would feel as if the truck had less engine breaking (more stored energy in the flywheel) and the truck would slow down slower than a lighter fly wheel.

That being said, at idle or just off idle a heavier flywheel will actually do better offroad because the stored energy will help move the vehicle along better and have less chance of bogging and stalling the engine once the clutch is locked up.

A lighter weight flywheel will let the engine accelerate and decelerate faster but will be much more touchy just off idle and on/off throttle. The heavier one has that extra wieght and stored energy to transfer to the driveline to get the truck moving where the light weight one will require more RPMs and clutch slippage until the vehicle is at a speed you can let it all the way out but will be noticably quicker on acceleration and deceleration.

I am wondering what the affects are based on increased wheel/tire weight and then going to a lighter weight fly wheel. I bet it will require quite a bit more slip from a stop than a heavier/stock one.

 

I know all the x runner guys run them on custom tacos. Lol

 

Well yea, they are mainly looking for better acceleration.

 

Today, my lead crane operator and I had a heart to heart. I think. It lasted for atleast a minute. During which the entire time he had his hand on my back. Well, really I just listened as I don't speak spanish. And he doesn't speak english. FML

 

ya i know some spanish, but all related to the work that we do. im unable to compose most sentences. especially when they talk fast. i have no idea still what he told me.

on another fml, i drove 80mph in 4th gear for about 10 miles today
