    Happy Sunday everyone!

    I only got about 5hrs of sleep last night, but nothing beats sleeping in your own bed. Think I picked up a head cold some too. Got some congestion that I cannot shake. Good times.

    Does a static tire have any traction? No. Why? Because tractive force is the amount of force required for overcoming the friction of when two bodies slide or roll on each other. That force is what propels you forward. So, there is no traction in a static wheel. Torque must be applied.

    So, say a vehicle produces 400 units of torque (take your pick of imperial or metric, it doesn't matter), and it is putting that torque to two wheels. For super simple explanation, lets say that on good surfaces all the torque is used equally between the 2 drive wheels. Each gets 200, for a total of 400.

    Now, lets say it's a slick or loose surface, and if the full 400 torque is applied the wheels start to slip. They are losing traction. Let's say only 200 torque can be used without slipping. Well, you have half the traction at this point, because you are not able to apply the full torque, and instead each wheel is getting 100 torque for the total of 200, and the other 200 units of torque are not utilized.


    Now in that slick scenario we have established let's add two more drive wheels by engaging 4x4. Well now, each wheel gets the 100 torque that can be applied, and the full 400 torque available are used to generate tractive force. This is a direct increase in traction.


    Yes, there are a million variables that come into play that make these simple numbers fluctuate, but the base principle remains unchanged. The best you can argue is that 2WD produces equal traction so long as maximum torque doesn't cause a wheel to slip. In that scenario 4wd would just redistribute the traction. In slippery stuff, you will have more traction, though.

    Alright, I went through as much school as the next guy and I have never heard that definition of traction so, fair enough. In that case, 4x4 would in fact give you traction based on available friction at each wheel.

    My only counter to that would be that if you polled the vast majority of the public most people would believe, just like me till just now, that traction, friction, and grip are all synonymous when talking about driving and wheels on the ground. So my other point in even starting the conversation is still valid, Joe Smoe off the street is probably confused when told he has more traction in 4x4 but can't stop any faster.

    You were making a semantic argument, and the only way to have a chance against a semantic argument is to get technical. :p So, I set about researching.

    Just had a fun thought about the 3rd gen Tundra. Not sure I should kick the hornet's nest with it though.

    Can you see what codes are being thrown (full system check not just CEL/common dash lights)...

    When my '08 starting having an issue w/a shift solenoid, this is how it started off; then full limp mode and not getting out of 4th.. but shift was weird in all gears... I ended up replacing solenoid and was good for a month or so, then the problem came back; ended up being one of the connector pins in the harness.

    It is my understanding that water, salt and corrosion can happen to the harness on the outside of the trans, but it seems early for that w/your rig (but who knows)...

    Either way, I can appreciate your desire to not use the dealer... However, I have not heard of a case where the warranty work can be performed by a non-toyota dealer aside from 3rd party warranties, and the last thing you want to do is not be covered in the future by having someone else work on it and not take advantage of the warranty period... Just my thoughts!

    This shit works wonders... spray some while you're in a hot shower; let it drain out; and then stick the base of the back of your head under pulsating hot shower water for about 10 minutes; and then blow all that crap out...
