General Motors 'crab steer'

[T4halo]

My 70 CJ5 doesnt have power steering let alone quad steering. It’ll go just about anywhere.

The original Quadrasteer was not a failure, just complex and expensive at the start. What was a $5500 option became a $1200-1700 (I don't remember) add near the end of its life. Like many things GM, they spent a couple years working out the bugs and punishing the techs, finally getting it right to discontinue it.

As far as I know, the new version only available on the GMC Hummer EV (from GM) but I'm pretty sure the 3rd grader drawing turned reality known as the cybertruck can do the same maneuver. If you build a truck with electric motor(s) driving the front steering axle, why not use a similar axle in the rear and get 4WS?

EV buyers interested in trucks that cost WELL over $100K need weird features to sway their purchase...and it makes taking a tall and wide vehicle through uneven and narrow terrain easier. The old Quadrasteer trucks did not have crab mode but did turn the rear wheels in the opposite direction as the fronts (for tighter turn radius) at slow speeds and the same direction (for directional stability) at highway speeds.

Does anyone remember the Honda Prelude with 4WS. It was a decade or more before the GM version.

The LS engine platform is one of the best ever, in my opinion. I have had several 5.3's and 6.0's. I even have a 6.0 in my Jeep Scrambler. View attachment 64131

Nice 4x4’s you have there.
LS series are wonderful power plants. I bought a new Z51 C6 Corvette(LS2) in ‘06. Wasn’t long before I needed the fix for more HP than the 400 as delivered. Added go fast parts with the pinnacle being a Vortech T-trim supercharger with the associated parts to support the extra power. Car makes a bit over 600 hp with a safe tune. Was thinking of adding Alcohol Inj to add a bunch more ponies but decided against because I don’t really don’t need that much more power for the streets. As is in the hot weather when pushing hard I’ll add torco to the gas to give some extra protection.
The car isn’t babied at all over all the years and loves to run, LS has been stout to say the least and has seen over 170 mph and still pulling hard till I backed off because I was running out of road.
