Everything is on the internet and nobody ever really needs to ask a question, especially with older stuff. Every question has been asked at least once.

That all AI does [right now] is does that research for you. I like research, I tend to learn a lot more, stumbling with different opinions/facts. AI is going to do all the thinking for you. When it becomes really accurate, then critical thinking will be something we no longer have.

 

I use it like an advanced google search. Rather than reading each link, i can essentially read them all at once.

I will often raise contrary points and get it to dive deeper. Everything is cited so you can follow the links and decide whether the source it is using is trustworthy or not. Some of them aren't, but most of them are. It's really good for stuff like this where there is an actual science you are trying to seek out. Ask it something more opinion based, and you can get wildly different results.

Back in the days where the 4r70 was so prone to shudder, people would put in a bottle of rear diff modifier. It worked. Not recommended, but it will stop the shudder.
to be clear ... I'm NOT recommending you do that.

people also would put in a quart of water and claimed that stopped the shudder as well.
again ... I'm NOT recommending you do that either.

My 1995 thunderbird had a torque converter shudder when i bought it (got it cheap because of it). The fix for me was exchanging the fluid with Mobil 1 full synthetic transmission fluid. That has worked for 20 years, granted: I've only driven it 10,000 miles MAX in those 20 years. the 4r70's were murder on trans fluid with the partial lock up torque converter strategy. Ford's answer was Mercon V. My answer was Mobil 1. Many also used Mercon V in the 4r70, even though it was not recommended by Ford at the time (it is now). When ford abandoned the Mercon fluid, they made the Mercon V backwards compatible. Before that time, it wasn't backward compatible, but people still used it with generally great results. what it did internally, is a mystery to me, but like the LSD modifier, quart of water, and full synthetic fluid, they all were reported to work.

 

Water? I've been around the block many times, but I've never heard that water can resolve any shudder. I do know that coolant caused a lot of issues with shifting.

 

Same here, the only way I knew of water eliminating any lubrication symptoms in a vehicle involved a lot more water:

 

I never said it worked. I only said that i heard others claimed it worked.

anyone that knows anything about transmissions wouldn’t put water in an auto trans. Some did and claimed it worked.

what happened when the transmission got over 212 degrees? I don’t know for sure, but nothing good I’m sure.

 

The AI assistants can bring to you a lot of information, but their summary or any conclusions that they might provide may be subject to what they've learned based on other information they've gathered from the 'net. So they can be misguided. I would always check out any information I receive from AI generated results.

I use some AI assistants in my work to generate simple programs on which I build my final programs. In general, the more information I provide on what I want, the closer the AI generated programs come to what I want. It doesn't take long before I end up spending more time providing the descriptions than to write the program myself. Then there were times when I found pretty glaring defects in the code that the assistants provided, and I'd have to rewrite the whole thing myself.

The bottom line is, always check the results provided by AI. Certainly, at this time, if an AI completely designs an airplane, or a car, I would not ride in it unless competent engineers have analyzed the designs.

 

I live in Boeing country and I have a few clients that are Boeing employees. I'm not certain I would even trust them. Sometimes we just hope and pray we get there.

 

Their planes and their rockets.

Sorry for going too far off topic.

 

LOL yeah, and in many cases this is already true!

 

Exactly!

I do similar stuff to it!

Wow, I've never heard of this one. Seems like something that the Garage 54 guy might try!

I'll wait for his results before I dream of humoring the notion of thinking of trying this.
