Since the weather here this week is calling for rain and sleet I decided to go back to stock just to be on the safe side. So today I'm out working and it has been drizzleing all day and its COLD:cold:. Not enough rain to wash the roads clean just enough to keep all the oil/gas that is on the roads at the surface. So here I sit at a stop sign and decide to see how the Jeep would do with the stock tune and AWD. I nailed it and spun horrible and watched the yellow jeep with the squiggly lines flash on the dash but to my disappointment :sorry:it took for ever to get under control. I've read posts were people are claiming some insane 0-60 in wet weather but from my experience today I do not see how. Is this normal or was I just in a bad spot to nail it or am I expecting too much out of this AWD thing:hypno:
Are you sure your Transfercase is engageing the front wheel drive ? I have seen a few in here lose there front wheel drive after playing with there BG or Preditor tunes.
Mine does well on wet roads under hard acceleration but had got sideways if turning with minimal pedal. It may have just been a slick road or something but it did it twice and I was being easy on it trying not to drift. It kinda scared me.
that was a problem with the predator and has since been fixed. The B&G flash (not on the predator) does not have this problem
This was on the stock tune, no Diablo. It was all in the rear wheels Do you all experience some traction issues in the rain, even a little
Thanks thats what I was looking for so I'm all good. So how are these guys posting these rediculous 0-60 times in the rain, I've seen data logged numbers skewed by sitting in spot and spinning you get to 60 a whole lot quicker sitting still and spinning the tires than actually moving down the road
They are full of shit, just like 98% of the things posted on the NET WAIT this just in: I just went out in the snow and did my best ever 0-60 2.7!!!!!!! YES!!!:clapping:
A month or so ago, I was on a wet street, set up the DH, and floored it. I clearly spun for about a sec. but still ended up with a 5.3 or something like that.
the extreme spinnage was probably do to that particular road surface. I have messed around plenty in the rain, and DashHawk it just for fun. ....my best in legitimate rain, no tricks was a 4.23 0-60. I had the dash button pushed, and left in 1.....easier than just slamming the gas, and manually shifted. I have gotten sub 5s quite often, and sometimes the Jeep crab walks, while spinning all 4 wheels. I have also noticed that one could spin the tires to 60, and get false readings.............. This kinda of upset me a little too, b/c it made me think that some people might not believe my actual true, drive pavement record pass where I logged a 0-60 in 2.89 at MIR in Maryland 11-10-07. ...again, take this for what it's worth......but the road surface is key to hooking wet or dry. goodluck, and be careful.
I agree with Chuck it's all in the road surface and whatever contaminants are on your particular stretch. We've had a ton of wet weather here lately, and with my B&G CMR taggging it from a dig equates to very little spin.
...thanks Tex..... I didn't realize we could "fool" the dashhawk with a spinning truck. I found out about 3 weeks ago when I was doing some scientific asphalt aqua traction testing. LOL....... I took off, the truck went crabby.....it is pretty funny to feel and to see.... I looked down at the dashhawk, after I just burned the truck up to about 40mph actual and it said something like 2.99 sec.s ...........I thought dam that was funny. Then I thought well somebody could take a picture of that, and act like they pulled an awesome real 0-60. Thereby discreditting my actual time. ..........well, maybe that is just too much dam thinking about something stupid. Anyway thought I would share.
NO your dead on accurate and that was what I was eluding to. I had a buddy that did that exact same thing but up to 100mph in like 9 seconds on a stock 5.7 Hemi Truck, the video alone looked real enough until he added the exterior video of him sitting still in water just spinning the tires
Early Summer 07 when I got the BG my Dashhawk times were 3.82 dry and I got a 3.95 under moderate rain, autostick and TC off was the best way to launch by progressivly but quickly flooring it. At that time I made a thread on the red site "0-60 under 4 wet or dry" some will remember. This Autumn with headers and Bwoody Cai my Dry time dropped to a best of 3.44 once with many 3.50 to back it up, one night (also posted on the red site) it had rained all day but temps were cold and I went to test some more, auto wipers on every 5 sec, I got a few 3.82 and then with TC ON got one magic 3.70. No Bull, it happened under moderate rain. Since then I now use the Predator with regular canned tunes and do not feel it hooking like that anymore, I'll know better when I get CMR tuning, if I'm not satisfied I can always go back to the BG PCM. I'm off to visit the Detroit auto show for the rest of the week(CTS-V, ZR1), so if someone wants to argue on this, please wait till I'm back on Sunday for my reply. Claude
