floodwater crossing tip

[rsnald]

naisip ko lang 'to last night while passing thru flooded sumulong highway on the way to antipolo; this will only work for diesel vehicles with the idle control knob.

shift to 1st or 2nd gear, then just turn the idling control knob hanggang mga 1000 rpm na yung tach, step on the accelerator a bit and let go, the rpm will not drop immediately and your vehicle will continue moving forward kahit di mo tapakan accelerator. so, libre na yung paa mo to step on the brake if necessary. di mo na rin kailangan timplahin pa yung clutch, parang naka-automatic transmission ka non

works on my x-wind and maybe on other AUV's, magagaan naman kasi body weight kaya 1000 rpm lang ok na. ewan lang sa malalaking SUV's.

Tried that before, effective if the driver knows how to react on sudden brakes. Ingat lang, hehehe. :D

On my ride I will need higher rpm, I think I used to put it at 1400 rpm. Patimpla timpla lang ng brakes pag sobrang traffic.

Yup, I play with my hand throttle when fording floods. hehehe.

sir ok to bagong kaalaman na naman, try ko nga sa sunod na bagyo.

[lapuks]

ingat lang always check your break after crossing flooded areas at hwag agad aarangkada

[kiper]

ako matagal ko nang gawain yan sa isuzu pick-up ko..

madalas kong gawin yan kapag trapik..kahit walang bagyo..or maraming humps na sunod-sunod..nakakabagot kasi mag-clutch eh..:mrgreen:

Nice tip. Malakas lang nga sa fuel consumption.
