Really this aero discussion is probably moot with regards to the fire victim in this case. The OP stated that the truck was burning after a couple kms of going downhill. Of course these are just speculative scenarios. Doesn't hurt to learn -- I've already learned more about towing than I will probably ever put to use.Yeah, and again this is kind of turning into the diesel overheating thread because were all making assumptions. If I wasn't an enthusiast that came to the forum it would be so much better. I would just be enjoying my new jeep that works great. Instead I'm waiting for it to explode when I'm on the highway lol.
Yea, and 40 was just the minimum they had to maintain to pass the test. Any slower than 40 and cooling is probably compromised. 40 may not be a realistic goal, but we've all been stuck behind that trailer or motor home crawling up a long grade.And you know the increase from 40 to 60 and above is pretty hefty....... sort of crazy as 40 isn't realistic and sometimes it's below a minimum speed, on the other hand, they do handicap the vehicles give them no advantage during the testing so they should easily match real world conditions.
