Link?

I do this all the time when im on the high way and want to pass people. I haven't had a single problem

 

ahh 10-4. When I did a google search it came up with a lot of Diseal fuel links- what i did find is it "in 5th gear your ecu will lean out mixtures for fuel economy" so i can assume that if u hold for a prolonged period of time your leaning your engine out like WOAH

 

You aren't doing 50-140 lol. You are doing a short burst to pass a car, normal. What he is explaining is something different. Downshift and go.

 

Even when I was 16 years old getting my first truck I wouldn't even lug it around because it made sense to me all the load that was getting put on every moving component. I guess not everyone is able to "feel" how the car is reacting

 

clutch issue + more aggressive tune = bad idea

 

5th gear roll races FTW!

 

I dont have a clutch issue lol. Clutch holds fine

 

You know my car is only holding 18lbs in reverse. Nick, can you fix this? Is this strange? Also when I start in 2nd from a dead stop it takes a second for the car to move.

 

what a richard

 

Lugging the car like this in too high of gear is the reason 90% of people on this site who have bad clutches, have bad clutches.. people gotta learn to downshift.

 

u ever take a 18 speed bike and start peddeling in the highest gear?? take along time to get the thing up to speed right?? same idea here

 

I've done quick pulls from 65 MPH in 5th just to check max boost (where you usually get it under max load) and for clutch slip. As long as you are at WOT for say 5 sec or so (that's not as short as ya think), then I don't see any problem. Sure pulling 10 sec plus from lower RPMS is gonna raise EGTs and stress the motor.

 

Understood, but I'm already doing 80- 85mph when I did this lol and only went to 115.

 

I don't know why people are saying that would be a problem...still well under 10 sec for that pull. No motor is gonna be hurt by a quick pull in 5th.

 

Yeah I know lol, its not like I did it from 45-140 lol
