SHIFT INHIBIT

[rod]

The UPS Think Tank is working with the vehicle designers on new engines. Expect your soon.

I think you've also mentioned something before about the back up monitors.

Does UPS, or the monitor manufacturer put the camera in it, to spy on the drivers?

I'm pretty sure it is UPS that specs their desired options. The Chassis and Body are designed and assembled by seperate companies and the accessory options such as the backup camera are installed by the body manufacturer (Morgan Olson, Utilimaster, Supreme, etc)

I had a friend that had a Duster with a slant 6. Pretty good car but definitely not a hot rod.

There were 2 available, the 198ci qnd the 225 ci.
The 225 gave at least usable accleration.

Pfft do you know how many times I stalled one of these new Ford because the shift inhibit practically doesn’t exist.

 

[burrheadd]

it leaves you motionless in the middle of the road trying to get reverse to engage to back into a driveway with traffic coming from both directions.

not dangerous at all.

Think I’d get that sorted out as quickly as possible

 

[PASinterference]

Makes you wonder if there have been service bulletins on the sensor?

If it doesn't show up on a report, it's no problem for ups.

Always leaves me dumbfounded when that happens. Like how the did i manage to stall an automatic.

I actually had one die on me while spinning tires on ice. Going up a steep hill I was about to the top and started spinning pretty good. Damn thing died on me and I started sliding back down the hill. Needed a change of pants after that ordeal.

Good engine.

Except when it rained.

Creative sealer application works.

This is a package car, unless you're driving this, you most likely are driving a truck.

.

We still have 5 of these in service at my center. Used for peak season and bulk stops to Barnes and Noble.

You know the sups were getting all hot and bothered thinking they can fire somebody!

The proper walk path.... would be driveways and sidewalks.

You're fired.

Have any accidents occurred because of it?

Yes. We had a driver with a new 600. Like my truck. Turned into a road. Maybe one way?? A garbage truck was blocking it so he stopped. Waited. The garbage truck started backing up. At least 50 ft. The driver noticed he wasn't stopping so he started blowing his horn. It kept coming. He tried to quickly put it in reverse with only tapping the brake far enough to shift the truck. It went into shift inhibit. Got hit. Crushed the hood shroud. Pushed it like it was in neutral. So not major damage. Just fiberglass. Ruled not his fault.

What I hated about the shift inhibit was you couldn't rock yourself out when you get stuck in the snow.

I wonder if the company lawyers have contacted the manufacturer? I would expect a recall.
