Separate names with a comma.
I thought it was caused by the global decline in pirates? If it weren't for Somalia we would be in real trouble. Tom
Diesel engines (and here I am generalising) are larger and heavier. They also like to run continuously at a sweet spot. This is fine for some...
Nice TJ. That is some serious rock crawling. Tom
On the contrary, LEDs dim very well. The problem you describe is dimming LEDs with standard TRIAC dimmers (the ones normally found at home). TRIAC...
You would expect that since the diesel cycle is inherently more efficient. It isn't rocket science; it's straight thermodynamics. When you study...
Fair enough. I never run my Prius in Acc. I'd rather not put the strain on the small 12V battery, so I don't need to constantly monitor the...
That's it exactly, and why I said "per unit of energy". I was trying to get the same idea across as your post, but at a very high level. Tom
Especially if it blows you off the road. Tom
Normal mode, which is exactly that: normal, not Eco or Pwr. Normal mode is the only mode on a Gen II, so by default that is normal. The other...
For a simple battery voltage check any little DVM should work fine. It can be informative to check the battery voltage at the battery as well as...
At higher speeds aerodynamic drag dominates in the losses department. Aerodynamic drag losses go up by the square of the speed through the air. If...
It doesn't do much good. When in Ready, the 12V system is powered by the DC to DC inverter, so you won't be able to tell anything about your 12V...
A gallon of diesel contains more combustible material than a gallon of gasoline, which is why you can get more energy per unit from diesel. If the...
No, no, they use red LEDs. They are much more efficient. :rolleyes: Tom
How did you buy a Prius v in 2004? They weren't even made then. I think you have the wrong forum. Tom
Shift as often as you wish. It's only detrimental to the little push-button switch. Nothing changes or shifts in the transmission; all it does is...
The SKS system runs from the 12V battery. Did she try starting without the SKS, that is by holding the fob up to the power button? She doesn't...
You would still have the people asking "Do I use B mode to charge the battery?" Tom
We have a Webasto diesel fired heater on our boat. It uses a magnetically coupled impeller to move the coolant, and is good for 43,500 btu/hr....
"I'll have some toasted white bread please. No ma'am, dry. Bring me four fried chickens and a Coke." Tom
