wheres the torque

[nakahama001]

last night i tried to climb a curb it was like 10 inches tall or so i rolled up to it and it to like 10 lbs of boost before it went over is this normal for 35s and pretty much stock my old lady was with me and said her camry had more torque lol can any one help me

a 10 inch curb? That's huge. No camry could even clear that kind of curb. Was this a street curb or something else? Normal street curbs are probably not more than 3 to 4 inches.

I had the same problem with my truck when I had 35's on it. It is better but not much now that I have gears (4.56's) and 38's. These newer diesels don't seem to build any torque until they build boost.

You got to roll up to it, slow like, and use inertia for help to bump up over the curb. Get her cammy to prove her point and after she's high centred you can go get your diesel and yank her off.

i was just guessin about 10 inches maybee less i was just currious if that sounded normal for 3.73 gears and 35s

If I go at a curb one wheel at a time I dont have any trouble at all. 3.55 gears and 285/75/16 (whatever that translates to). Dont recall that I ever tried straight on.

i got your torque right here. i can roll up to a curb and tap the go pedal and up and over she goes. no issues. been following this post. i got no answer other than something seems amiss.
what type of 'curb' is 10" tall? can't say as the 'curb' i am referring to is 10" tall - just your standard curb. maybe find a california curb...

I have no problem climbing up a curbs on an angle 1 tire at a time but head on in 2wd is a different story. 4wd Hi or low is a walk in the park!

keep in mind youve got an extremely heavy engine holdin ya down to street! any truck with that kind of weight up front will have problems. just my thoughts.
