Ok, from that angle, technically correct. However, it's still pretty irrelevant to the discussion. My Motec PLM doesn't measure AFR. It measures lambda. Lambda is absolute. You program it to tell it what to display based on what fuel you're using. In this case, Lambda 1.0=14.7. It's just...

:bigok:

Doesn't have anything at all to do with being a cheap fuck. Some of us just realize the things are inefficient. They're heavy, the volumetric efficiency is bad due to the thick walls, rounded corners and external ribbing, and they don't pack efficiently into a cargo hold. So, you end up...

Ok, well the way that read, seemed like you were attributing the lean thing to me. So what theory is it I have that Drew Sobota would blow to pieces? That EPA certified engines cruise at 14.7:1?

You're making an argument for no reason other than to argue with me. Try to pass 12V through water. You can. Therefore, even clean water can short out a board. Why would you use use water to clean a board? If somebody has drowned their truck in muddy water, and all they have is drinking...

Why do you think I said they are running lean? I just said they are NOT running lean. Yes. I went through this last year. On my track car running a motorsport ECU that I programmed, Motec PLM wideband, and a high flow cat. I came in with a cruise AFR of 17:1. Works well for fuel...

For a guy who likes to criticize engineers, you just wrote a whole lot of theory that really has no bearing on how things actually work. Have you ever actually run an engine with a wideband oxygen sensor to see the real values? The engine DOES run at 14.7:1 BECAUSE of adaptive values, oxygen...

Had you recently ran the truck before draining? Water can settle out and not give the milkshake appearance if you've waited too long. I think you might be fine. Just saying. So you're suggesting to use water full of salts to clean off the water full of salts? I guess if one carries around...

Yes, I've suspected that the porosity was not created during the product's life (erosion, stress, thermal) but during it's creation. Could be a classic casting porosity problem that somehow slipped through. Maybe it wasn't bad enough that they failed pressure test in the factory, but then the...

So, are you going to back this up with anything?

The best I have seen is an all-plastic deadblow hammer in a Pelican case. I bet the hammer is more indestructible than the case. Not even any metal to rust or wood to rot.

Probably a J suffix, which was subject to shearing across the oil feed holes in the output shaft. I bought a new L suffix which is an upgraded unit from the J's and is stronger. Still, any AWD car is likely to break something if the owner does a heavy clutch drop on pavement. Luckily, I...

Exactly. If bags work on a 1 week whitewater canoe camping trip, I'm sure they're fine in a truck. Don't get me wrong, I like Pelican cases. I just think they're over-used.

I could see how a messed up MAF might cause limp mode, but if you just unplug it, should solve that? I have driven with the MAF unplugged. The R380 isn't perfect, but it's immune to this failure mode which is a particular problem in my area. ALL the trails are flooded. I wasn't going to put...

I have drybags.

I have a 1300 and 1400 for camera equipment. That's it. I don't see the point in using Pelican cases unless the items in them are: A)Fragile and B)Worth at least several times what the Pelican case is worth OR are mission-critical. My tools are waterproof and unbreakable. They go in...

Just to make things a little clearer, here's my situation: I was in the water just long enough to jump out the window, pull the strap off the hood, hook it up to the rear, and get the guy behind me to yank me out. The water never even equalized in the cabin, but it did cover the TCM and the...

Well that's bullshit. I also suffered a wrecked trans from sitting in water. Was told the labyrinth seal on the input shaft sucks water in. I don't know if it was that for sure, but it was in there. In my case, I was only stuck in the water for about 5 minutes. TCM got wet and stopped...

Damn, my parents are still driving around in a 99 Yukon that probably isn't much better than that. It doesn't have a lot of miles, but we get salt up here too. They can easily afford a new truck but will hang on to this one as long as it runs. The A/C doesn't even work anymore but... they...

No, I haven't put my wideband on it. No need. The narrowbands tell the story. Just look at the signal dithering either side of 0.5V, that's stoich. It's not possible to pass emissions unless you're dithering at 14.7:1 in closed loop. I know, I tried it. Had to get my trackday car to pass...
