Jeff i used to work for York Heating and Air Condition in York PA and then in Norman OK (once we moved our division headquarters out there) We would run failure testing and we would have multiple units in testing at the same time. 1,300 hours really wouldn't a very long time on an engine and you really can't equate hours to miles. I think the 150,000 miles actually refers to vehicles that they drove for 150,000 miles or that they put on a dyno and ran them continuously. Just my thoughts.
Small world Andy!
Did you move after the fire or before? Yes, I remember when the chiller plant burned up there years before Johnson bought York. I'm a Chief Estimator in the DC region so I buy a lot of York, Trane, Daiken equip..including the 4500 ton chillers for the NIH chiller plant which as you know, ONLY York can provide! You probably know Jim Carloni....as he's been my main York guy for the large equip for 20+ years? I've witnessed the factory testing before many times and do understand that several units are typically included for product line testing where as most of what I've witnessed is the particular unit for a particular project.
I know that Honda for instance, runs a bank of engines max rpm, another at 70% etc. Yamaha, back in 1981 ran the turbo at 22PSI although the public version only produced 8-11 during it's various renditions. My question was really only that I would have rather seen a chart or wish they would have worded it more accurately to reflect what they actually did because that paragraph just struck me as ambiguous.....that's all.
Powerbtr/07.....I don't think anyone is "wrong" in this....yes, the timing is set by the ecu and any sensed detonation will result in it being retarded to preserve the engine. Hell, that old turbo I referred to above does that and it was built 35 years ago. It has 2 types of knock sensors and either will retard the timing. Just good sense.
Yes, my lifetime average over the past 10,300 miles is still 17.4 and the delta here for regular to premium is exactly 75 cents too(always driven in 4auto).
My TC does not reengage though...nor does my light flash. It remains lit when I turn it off and stays off. I actually checked it by accident over the weekend by powersliding a turn at 50mph going to a St Pat party on Sat. with my sweetheart. Purely by accident which took a bit of calming her down...thankfully those years of road-racing bikes let me deal w/o panic.....but trust me...it WAS OFF<LOL>!!
No worries Loki...no one here gets bent about stuff so don't ever worry about being redundant!
OK, time to get my butt to work!
