Separate names with a comma.
Crabbyman: And this is the answer we were all waiting for. Thank you very much! Just repeating what you said: No obvious differences and the...
And it's this kind of thing that's going to give Gen IV Priuses 60+ MPG. If not more. KBeck
do not know... But if the pulsing goes with wheel RPM, the "take a turn and it gets worse" sounds like a CV joint. There's two to a side, one next to...
Passing on AWD cars, which are clearly better in snow conditions, I'd say any car whose weight is over the driven wheels will handle better than a...
And I'm going to reiterate this: Take it to the dealer. There are stupid dealers, sure. But one of the reasons that one takes a car to a...
Um. Now, you be careful here. That's a new car. New cars often have defects. If you're smelling gas, drive that car to the dealer and say, "New...
The basic question is as follows: "Did Toyota change the controller software so that acceleration is impacted?" On a previous thread I pointed...
I've been driving a 2010 Prius in New Jersey. That's not a snow state like Maine, but we do have our moments. And, for various reasons, chugging...
Um. This thread starts with a complaint that the L.A. Times completely missed the GM recall issue with the bad ignition switches and then goes on...
Save me. DeadPhish, here's the link from October of 2013, in this very forum: Discussion I read Mr. David Barr's deposition. Mr. Barr was...
All right. I got it: GM was having fun killing people with bad ignition switches. Right. The LA Times missed that one. Next: Priuses never did...
Yeah, but I have a different take on this. Look at it this way: Push the pedal to the metal. Let's say that the power dissipation in the boost...
There's been some interesting discussion of this on that other thread mentioned before. To make a long story short, the boost transistors and...
Here you go: From another thread: Picture_Of_Inverter_Innards They reference a Department of Energy document that has tons of data on the Gen...
This is not your average transistor solder joint. The transistors in question are very high power; they come caseless as naked die (unusual) and...
My guess: You had an incipient failure. The reported failure is cracks in the solder under the boost transistors. The transistors have...
Engine's not necessarily damaged. Remember, the Prius is a hybrid: torque on the electric side of things will make you uncomfortable. Others will...
Mike, Actually, my hypothesis is differential heating. It's very likely that the silicon die and the aluminum alloy mount are designed to expand...
All right. I think I'm confused about the numbers. Here's the graph from earlier in this thread: [ATTACH] And, no, I don't know where this graph...
I hate to say, "Me too!", but that's what I was saying before. Further, I'm betting that at 5-7 mph there's enough RPM in MG2 to create more than...
