Thread: Reverse Stall Recovery Question plus ETC problem.

Thanks for the further feedback. Even though there are some mild differences on opinion, all your comments have been consistent with each other, and with all the symptoms I had, and also very educational to a raw newbie.

It is an auto so I didn't actually have to stall it, but they called it that anyway. It was the reversing that I sucked at with the brakes locking all the time. I have decided that even though the ETC is very good I am still going to get the centre diff activated cause I do not want to depend on HDC working, especially given I have had it malfunction already (get a new ABS modulator tomorrow so hopefully it won't happen again)

plus find somewhere to practice, practice, practice.

Exactly the symptoms I had and by use of two foot technique could drive anyway. Wasn't easy but I went everywhere the Toyos/Nissans went, often still smoother. So I agree, the electronics worked great and when they broke, the car still went great (once I was taught how which is exactly why you do the training)

DS, we've changed the name of the "Stall Stop" to "Emergency Stop" and technique for manuals is "Stall Stop". This is precisely because it made no sense to call the thing a stall stop when it clearly wasn't.

If you do not have a CDL in your D2 then do not overdrive the brakes at all, for reasons I explained above. HDC should be used instead. ETC will do a much better job of torque transfer than your feet ever could.

It was not your fault the wheels locked (the uphill wheels, right?) it is LR's fault for not including a CDL in the first place.

Get a CDL ASAP.

As per RMP.

Michael.
