Re: Towing Dynamometer (Mac)
I guess I thought it would be good for Torque and Horsepower readings. But it looks like it is more suited to towing tests....
Oh well, it would still be fun begind my modified crewcab dually.

Re: Towing Dynamometer (Chuck Gongloff)
It simulates different weights of towed loads by applying the same kind of torque absorption to the wheels and measuring it that's used in stationary engine dynamometers; allows testing trailer-hauling performance and capability at many diffferent simulated trailer weights without having to use actual differently-weighted trailers.
