What causes rear tailgate to stick on a 2003 Jeep Rubicon?

One of the most likely causes is the tailgate was bent by the spare tire hitting something when backing or even going forward when the rear of the vehicle encounters an obstacle that exceeds the angle of departure, like dropping off a step or ledge. You should be able to see this. You may be able to reverse the damage by simply bending the tailgate back to where it should be.

Is putting a truck tail gate down more efficient on fuel?

It helps. A2 NO. Mythbusters did this one. They found that contrary to popular belief, it is better to keep the tailgate up. It's something to do with the wind turbulance. With the tailgate up, it causes a vortex which helps slipstream the air over the cab. With the tailgate down it causes drag behind the vehicle.


What causes the feeling of being pushed in a car when the car accelerates?

It's called inertia, and it means that stuff resist change. Braking your body has gotten used to travelling forward, so when the car brakes you get thrown forward. If you're standing still your body has gotten used to that too, so when the car takes off you get pushed into the seat.

What is coup contra coup head injury?

A coup injury is the result of a sudden, violent stop that causes the brain to accelerate forward and hit the side of the skull. A contracoup injury, on the other hand, occurs when the brain accelerates forward, hits the side of the skull, and then bounces off the other side of the skull. In both cases, the brain is damaged as it rubs against the inner ridges of the skull.
