    Someone help me! I was looking on the web and found a video of a kei truck with stock tires pull a F-350 Ford with a 40ft goose neck behind across a gravel parking lot. It was great, but now I can't find it. The video was being used as an example to show how strong these trucks really are. If anyone knows where it is please let me know

    i pulled my buddys scoolbus camper out of a ditch with my 1990 carry, i didnt even dig up the driveway where my friend went off with his back dualies.
    We all stood around the thing after and remarked, "this thing is a glorified quad!" very cool

    Just an FYI...if you're looking for Kei Truck related videos, be sure to check the stickied post in the Lounge http://www.minitrucktalk.com/showthread.php?t=42

    And if you find some that I don't have, either post them in that thread or send 'em to me and I'll put them right up on top!

    Go to : http://www.cape-ape.com/index.html

    On the left click on the tab "Videos".

    Near the bottom of the page click on : "How powerful are our mini trucks? See for yourself"."

    That will play the Super Duty being pulled.

    Back to our corner-turning example: While the differentials handle the speed difference between the inside and outside wheels, the transfer case in an all-wheel-drive system contains a device that allows for a speed difference between the front and rear wheels. This could be a viscous coupling, center differential or other type of gearset. These devices allow an all-wheel-drive system to function properly on any surface.

    The transfer case on a part-time four-wheel-drive system locks the front-axle driveshaft to the rear-axle driveshaft, so the wheels are forced to spin at the same speed. This requires that the tires slip when the car goes around a turn. Part-time systems like this should only be used in low -traction situations in which it is relatively easy for the tires to slip. On dry concrete, it is not easy for the tires to slip, so the four-wheel drive should be disengaged in order to avoid jerky turns and extra wear on the tires and drivetrain.

    Some transfer cases, more commonly those in part-time systems, also contain an additional set of gears that give the vehicle a low range. This extra gear ratio gives the vehicle extra torque and a super-slow output speed. In first gear in low range, the vehicle might have a top speed of about 5 mph (8 kph), but incredible torque is produced at the wheels. This allows drivers to slowly and smoothly creep up very steep hills.

    Locking Hubs
    Each wheel in a car is bolted to a hub. Part-time four-wheel-drive trucks usually have locking hubs on the front wheels. When four-wheel drive is not engaged, the locking hubs are used to disconnect the front wheels from the front differential, half-shafts (the shafts that connect the differential to the hub) and driveshaft. This allows the differential, half-shafts and driveshaft to stop spinning when the car is in two-wheel drive, saving wear and tear on those parts and improving fuel-economy.

    Manual locking hubs used to be quite common. To engage four-wheel drive, the driver actually had to get out of the truck and turn a knob on the front wheels until the hubs locked. Newer systems have automatic locking hubs that engage when the driver switches into four-wheel drive. This type of system can usually be engaged while the vehicle is moving.

    Whether manual or automatic, these systems generally use a sliding collar that locks the front half-shafts to the hub.

    Advanced Electronics
    On many modern four-wheel and all-wheel-drive vehicles, advanced electronics play a key role. Some cars use the ABS system to selectively apply the brakes to wheels that start to skid -- this is called brake-traction control.

    Make sure your firewall or cookies settings are not preventing access.

    I guess you've tried to "right click" and "save target as" and save to your desk top? I think you could do that right off one of the links we've posted. Then play it on your computer. If that doesn't work I may be out of ideas too.

    I've got it saved to my computer and recoded so you could probably watch it, but it's 12.7mb so I'm not sure if I can email that size or not. I don't think I can upload it here on this site either.

    Sorry

    You should be able to email it me if you want.... or you can upload it onto youtube or metacafe or similar site...
