H3 FAQ - Vehicle Comparison

[Huck BB62]

Stunning amount of work you did there!

Two comments: The speed at crawl ratio chart is good on numbers, but in reality won't really apply. You'd need a second chart separating the manuals from the automatics. The torque converter's not locked up at 1500 rpm. Granted, since the H3 in particular has jack squat for engine braking in the auto, it's a tossup, but one thing's for sure, instead of stalling, the auto will still be running, and pulling, even when the vehicle is dead stopped. Something to think about.

The H1 Alpha's mpg figures. Where's you get 'em? Dmaxes get 12mpg on the freeway pulling a 10,000lb fifth wheel! I find it really hard to believe that the H1 Alpha only gets 12mpg.

Neat work though. I LIKE it.
