Explorer Speed 50

[Milan Skidmore]

Ihave a 2005 Explorer XLT Sport 4 door V6 and I have the 17 inch tires on it. Anyhow, I just read a test of the 2006 Explorer EB V8 that stated the top speed is limited to 98MPH. Well just for the heck of it the other day, out on a nice new smooth concrete highway somewhere in the middle of nowhere in SD I thought I would kick it up a little and see what it would do before it hit the cut out. I was suprised to say the least when I was hitting 115MPH and still was not loosing engine power. I assume it would have cut out soon after that, but I did not want a trip to jail so I let off. I know speed limiters are adjusted to the speed rating on the tires and mine has tires from the factory rated to 114MPH, but I am just curious why the tested vehicle (which should have simular spec'ed tires) would cut off at 98MPH and mine does around 115MPH?

Not that you would ever buy an Explorer for speed, but I am just curious what is going on with mine. I guess someday I might actually try it and see how fast I can get it going before it either drags out or hits the limiter.

I have a 2003 EXP. EB V6. 4x4. Much the same, I took mine for the same test drive and was suprised that my limiter kicked in at 105mph. At first I felt somewhat disappointed, but as my speed droped off I began to think to myself, Sh..!, the speed was fast enough; even a "great" driver might have troubler recovering from an incident at this speed with an SUV.

My understanding is that they're designed to limit the speed of a 4x2 at 100mph and the 4x4's at 105-110mph. EXP.'s with stability control/roll over systems might hit 115. I don't think the speed rating of the tires is as much as a factor as the handling of the truck itself.

My Ranger FX4's limiter is set at 92 mph. I have hit it more than once. My truck has Q speed rated BFG All-terrain T/A's from the factory and it is my understanding that this is the reason for the limiter setting. The Q rating is supposedly good for 100 mph but I would imagine Ford is being very conservative especially after the Firestone debacle.

Its probably easiest to wait till close of business. In order to do this using Windows Explorer you will need to limit your underlying connection between the 2 systems which is not trivial - generally this is done at the router level (as it is not part of Windows Explorer - unlike, for example some SCP clients which have this functionality built in).

You havn't mentioned the speeds of the points, but if they are both faster then 10 megabit, and if you can find out how to do it (old hardware, playing with the negotiation speeds of one of the network card on your machine), a hack might be to force your NIC to 10 megabit which will limit this.

Stepping back though - I'd imagine the latency between Perth and Sydney is not inconsequential. You may find that, providing you move stuff 1 file at a time, the performance of your network might slow a bit but be quite tolerable due to the "stepping down" of the performance of the transfer due to the distances/latency involved. As ironic as it sounds, even better if there is a bit of packet loss between the sites [For TCP connections - which these are - Packet loss acts as a signal to slow down the transfer ]

I know you said you wanted to use Windows Explorer, but you should try one of the little file copy applications that can limit the bandwidth. FastCopy is a little rough, but works. I use it to transfer large amounts of data to/from a NAS (shared drive) without saturating my wireless network.

It would have been better to use some transfer software or a personal bittorrent network but you could try using some software to do it for you. Here is one even though I have not tried using it personally

Noticed there are some performance issues with the newer file explorer with recent files, doesn't matter if its a new pc or an existing one as I have seen this with all the ones I've held. Have seen a multitude of other post having the same issues with the same lame attempts that don't work.The problem comes into play when you have a lot of recent files in the list (seen one with recents that go all the way back to the beginning of the build (Jan), several hundred files), they literally open file explorer and walk away and come back and its still not responding.I dont like the ideal of turning recent files off or clearing the history as this was designed to help one stay productive, this is why we have new generations, to out perform the last, right?, Its like a double edged sword or a necessary evil it seems like.Is there a way to fix this other than clearing the history? The other options out there involve doing system repairs which I really dont think applies here because this will happen on a freshly loaded machine not joined to a domain with no other apps installed. Only options used is recent files, recent folders and office.com is turned off. Would like to be able to control the amount of files either by quantity or date automatically. If not, is there a way to revert file explorer back to the Windows 10 version without losing Windows 11? Don't want to go through the pains of rolling everyone back and causing them other griefs. *

Hi,I'd be happy to help you out with your question. Sorry for the inconvenience caused.I'm sorry to hear that you have tried some solutions that didn't work for you.To address the issue, there are a few steps that you can try. First, you can clear the recent files history, which might help in improving the performance of the File Explorer. This can be done by right-clicking the taskbar, selecting "Taskbar settings," then "Personalization," "Start," and finally "Clear personalization data."Another option is to disable Quick Access, which is a feature in Windows 11 that shows frequently accessed files and folders. This feature can sometimes slow down the File Explorer. To do this, go to "File Explorer Options," then "General," and then "Privacy," and uncheck "Show recently used files in Quick access" and "Show frequently used folders in Quick access."You can also optimize Folder Options to improve the performance of the File Explorer. Go to "File Explorer Options," then "View," and optimize the folder options for better performance by unchecking "Show preview handlers in preview pane," "Show thumbnails instead of icons," and "Display file size information in folder tips."Regarding your question about reverting back to the Windows 10 version of File Explorer, this may not be possible without rolling back the entire operating system. However, I would not recommend doing so, as Windows 11 includes many security improvements and features that are not present in Windows 10.If you have any other questions or need assistance with anything, please don't hesitate to let me know. I'm here to help.

I noticed this issue since 2017 and many other posts about similar thing. There is no good solution yet that can close the gap until today. I hope what Leo mentioned to use CopyFileEx method in future release can happen in DOpus 13.

TeraCopy Pro demonstrated similar read/write result as DOPus (default 1MB buffer size) regardless it is used within DOPus or thru File Explorer. I attached only Asustor result here.

Yes my Synology NAS is too old and not supported by DSM7. The use of conventional hdd is also frequent, i need to replace average 2 disks/yr, and that is seagate nas hdd. So i am moving away from hdd based nas, but i overlooked how terrible dram-less nvme performed... totally not suitable for large file sequential write.

Opus 13 did solve this network transfer speed problem and tested in the fresh windows 11 installation copy. However on earlier windows 11 with Opus 13 (same laptop, just different windows SSD), the transfer speed will not reach the same level of fresh windows copy (even using file explorer). It can only achieve 85-90% speed of fresh windows. network Speed test was done on 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 5th ssd inside the laptop and not the windows ssd. The laptop can house 5 ssd.

I may slowly reinstall app on fresh ssd windows 11 and later image it over old ssd. However i worry it may end up with same performance problem later if i reinstall the same programs. Any advice on what type of app to be avoided is appreciated.

Exactly same OS version. Seems like over time when more & more programs are installed, somehow something is affecting the network performance as well as ssd performance. I can't trace what it is, disable and shutdown programs in task mgr doesn't help.

One possible way to trace is to use the fresh windows to install the program 1 by 1 and run the speed test after each program is installed. If still cannot trace, then it could be the windows OS itself that turns out to be clumsy after some times use then nothing much can be done.

My 1996 Ford Explorer began having issues at the end of a moderately long drive home while going approximately 60 miles per hour (not sure if related; I drive that speed often). The speedometer dropped to 0 mph and would only jump up when the car shifted into a higher gear, and it has been doing this since. The overdrive light also flashes sometimes, usually during high speeds. In addition, the shifting feels uncomfortable, as if the car doesn't know when to shift. I believe this problem is with the VSS or ABS Sensor, but I'm not sure. I have not had issues with ABS kicking in inappropriately, and if it's relevant, when driving near 70 mph my car has a tendency to make a rather unpleasant noise like it's failing to shift, so I avoid that, but it may have happened on the drive. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I think you may be correct about the VSS. It certainly would confuse the automatic transmission and would cause problems on the speedo. Why it would spring into life when the transmission changes gear is a bit puzzling. The VSS could also be involved in comparisons of speed by the ABS system, so could be affecting the ABS. If you are not able to get error codes to back up your thoughts, then the VSS sounds like the first sensor to change.
