" Truck is a 2014 F150 5.0V8 with ~50K miles. While vehicle was in motion at highway speeds ~65mph, brake fluid warning light comes on. I test the brakes by gently depressing the brake pedal, but pedal continues with no resistance nearly to the floor. Brakes are almost completely ineffective and would have zero ability to stop the vehicle in an emergency situation. I throw on the hazard lights and cut to the shoulder and have to manually downshift the transmission to slow the vehicle. Situation could have been much more serious as I was in moderate traffic. I popped the hood and immediately notice the brake master cylinder reservoir is completely empty. After inspecting all brake lines front and rear and checking all bleeder screws are closed, no visual leaks are present. As I was 100 miles from home driving my wife and child home at night, I had someone bring me some brake fluid to top off the reservoir. After filling the reservoir and bleeding the front brakes, brakes seem to stay tight. I drive ~10 miles and the brake fluid warning light flashes again at highway speeds. Pull over again and notice zero fluid again. Visually inspect all lines, master cylinder, booster, etc., no evidence of leaks. Top off the reservoir to limp the vehicle to a safer location. Notice the engine starting to sputter and fluid completely gone in another ~10 miles. Obviously the master cylinder has failed and is leaking into the booster which is affecting the vacuum in the booster. These are the exact same symptons listed in safety recall notice 16S24/ NHTSA recall 16V-345, however this does not cover 5.0 V8 motors only 3.5L ecoboost despite the same brake components being used. So far over a quarter million trucks have been recalled. Apparently newer 2015/16 F150S are experiencing similiar issues as well evidence of a large defect in newer model F150 braking components." – Oct 7, 2017

As per all statistics occupants of vehicles with modern safety features are less likely to die in a collision.

The SST charging station is only a research project right now, though Delta expects to have a prototype ready by 2020. The company expects to spend three years and $7 million on the technology, with backing from GM, DTE Energy, CPES Virginia Tech, NextEnergy, the Michigan Agency for Energy’s Energy Office, and the City of Detroit’s Office of Sustainability.

What is the color of the clutch fluid in the master cylinder reservoir? If it is dark and mucky, that’s a sign that something is wrong. Now, locate the clutch slave cylinder. This is usually positioned on the gearbox housing, near the clutch pressure plate and release bearing. On a front-wheel-drive car, this is easily accessible from under the hood. On a rear-wheel-drive car, you may need to get the car on a lifter.

With a low-compression power-adder-ready 383 crate engine from BluePrint Engines on hand we decide to up the power with a pair of centrifugal superchargers from ProCharger Blowers.

I would rather have ‘some’ tech than ‘none’. One problem as someone said before is that this crap is rolled out half baked, and we get to find the flaws. The first ABS equipped Grand Cherokees come to mind. I remember how on a steep descent the ABS wouldn’t allow the rig to come to a complete stop. That’s straight up dangerous.

GM has been heavily advertising this truck’s off-road capabilities, so it’s easy to understand why so many of the folks who have had to deal with airbags deploying off-road feel like they’ve been duped. If the truck is a real off-roader, it should be able to handle dirt trails without then having to head to the dealership for repair afterwards. And it shouldn’t require owners to remove a fuse.

"The hydraulic clutch system with secondary clutch actuator part numbers 37200131 and 37200131A on the subject motorcycles may exhibit an internal leak of fluid past the secondary clutch actuator piston/seal," NHTSA documents read.

Ask those professionally involved in traffic investigations and they will confirm that they prefer to refer to ‘traffic accidents’ they are collisions and the great majority are avoidable and caused by driver error.

Many of these trucks provide less power and are commonly used for daily commuting and not as a work horse.

FiTech offered to perform the swap at their shop in Riverside, California. This also required an aftermarket fuel tank to accommodate the necessary in-tank fuel pump assembly. This almost required as much effort as the intake manifold swap since this IRS-equipped Tri-Five was anything but stock out back, but the conversion went smoothly and very soon the ’56 hit the streets for some simple tuning. That’s when disaster struck. For reasons still not entirely clear, the 502 suffered a rod bearing failure that required a complete rebuild. Chevy 502s come with aluminum production rod and main bearings that sometimes are a bit unforgiving. If the crank hits a main bearing for whatever reason, the debris peeled from the mains usually end up in the rod bearings that then quickly fail. The project was delayed for several months while the engine went through a complete rebuild. Once the crank was massaged and the engine builder reassembled the 502 with most of its original parts, the swap could continue. The engine was initially run on a test stand with a single four-barrel carburetor to check for leaks and proper behavior before the 2×4 FiTech system was again installed.
