Doug,
What lloyd means by stalling is simply not having enough power to crawl over an obstacle even when giving the engine gas.
It has happened numerous times on mine and I overcome it by using a running start. Of course this running start can equate to big problems if done too frequently. To begin with, steering issue
will occur.
I'm sure you've encountered this, and if not, then you haven't done a hard enough trail <GRIN> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
Thats priety much it. Yes, a 3.5 will stall later, and an auto will stall much later then a stick on the trail, but with 33s stall they will. Mostly people who have not stalled simply have not done agressive enough trails, or have small tires. The scary thing is 4:22 Monteros with 31s will stall on gravel, mountain roads <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> By stall, I mean bogging down to the point of no forward progress, not the engine dying or anything. This not only results in " ramming speed", winching, ect, but also causes sevier engine overheating. All this is exasperated by high altitudes as well. The higher you go..... If you come to Colorado the Poughkipsee stall fest will be the best example. With my auto and moderate gears, I can go as slowwwwww as I want, and never face that power fade. A little lower MIGHT be nice, but for the $$$$ it would cost, 50-1 works just fine for me. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/coolg.gif" alt="" />
