Torque Converter Topics Next
Advantages and Disadvantages • ManualAdvantages • Lower initial cost; slightly better fuel economy • Disadvantages • Not the best for towing. Clutch may wear out prematurely due to overuse or misuse. Requires more driver input. • AutomaticAdvantages • No clutch to wear out or misuse. The torque converter can actually multiply torque. In most cases, torque at low speeds can be more than doubled. Since torque is the most important aspect of towing heavy loads, this is a big advantage over manual transmissions. That is why trucks that do have a manual transmission have a “creeper gear”—an extremely low-ratio first gear that multiplies torque at low speed for extremely heavy loads. • Disadvantages • Higher initial cost; slightly lower fuel economy Topics

2-Wheel Drive vs. 4-Wheel Drive Topics Next
2-Wheel DriveAdvantages • Lower cost; better fuel economy; less weight; more payload (generally 200–300 pounds); more towing capacity • Disadvantages • Less off-road capability; less traction during slippery conditions • 4-Wheel DriveAdvantages • Off-road capable; added traction during slippery conditions • Disadvantages • Higher cost; lower fuel economy; more weight (generally 200–300 pounds); less towing capacity (generally 100 pounds) Advantages and Disadvantages Topics
What Is a Differential? SlowestRotation FastestRotation Topics
Open Differential Open Differential Available power goes to the wheel with the least traction, causing it to spin. Topics
Limited-Slip Differential (LSD) Mechanical Limited-Slip Differential The wheel on dry pavement with the most traction receives continuous traction. Topics
Locking Differential (Manual) Locking Differential. Both wheels get equal power and the wheel with traction gets the vehicle moving. Topics
Truck Tied to a Tree Topics
Limited-slip differential (LSD) advantages Operates at any speed Better for trailer towing since it’s always “on” Can improve handling Locking differential advantages Better performance in extreme conditions suchas very rough off-road conditions or deep mud Simple and efficient LSD vs. Locking Differential Topics
Electronic LSD (Auto LSD) Open Differential Brakes applied to the spinning wheel redirect some of the available power to the wheel with the most traction. The wheel on dry pavement receives power. Topics Next
