Bosch: Clutch-by-wire prevents stalling, boosts mpg AN-LOGO-BLUE AN-LOGO-BLUE | Fuel Injection/Nozzle

If your next project involves using EFI, consider the latest in electronics that now combine GM transmission control with EFI. For example, several companies now offer 4L60E and 4L80E control as part of their EFI systems. Holley’s Dominator EFI offers this, as does Big Stuff3. Just recently, Holley introduced the Terminator LS EFI system, retro-fit for multi-point LS, that will optionally control a 4L60E transmission. This eliminates the cost of purchasing a stand-alone controller. FiTech also offers a similar control opportunity.

All of these systems are introduced for 2 reasons – as i said initially, bad auto design, and additionally, bad driver education. So fix the real issues here and let’s start having cars designed to facilitate good driving, not try to correct for bad driving. Can we get cars with appropriately sized windows and belt line that don’t eliminate and downward point of view to the road? And also, headlights are finally starting to get looked at. And then the bad driving is obvious, too – we need to actually teach people how to drive and enforce it. I’d much rather pay more for driver education than for awful driver assist aids that i don’t need or want.

I then backed the adjustment rod off 1 mm. I made sure there was 1 inch of free play (an inch of free movement in the pedal before the clutch would engage) and test-drove the car. I had the customer get in the car and feel the pedal. He then exclaimed, “That’s how it used to feel.”

It is supposed to help with steering and braking but in certain areas of the United States the sensors tend to corrode.

In addition to the two new engines, 4.3-liter V6 and 5.3-liter and 6.2-liter V8s carry over from the previous-generation Silverado. The V6 is rated at 285 hp and 305 lb-ft of torque, while the 5.3-liter V8 is rated at 355 hp and 383 lb-ft. Both get six-speed automatic transmissions. The 6.2-liter V8 produces 420 hp and 460 lb-ft, and comes with a 10-speed automatic.

Q: With regard to your recent comments about people preferring automatic transmissions to manuals, I agree most people prefer automatics for their convenience, but I suggest you also consider another reason to choose a modern-day automatic. I grew up driving manual transmissions, including a number of high-performance cars. I’ve also been to high-performance driving school, where I learned, and mastered, the heel-and-toe shifting technique. Even so, my recent purchases have been high-performance cars with automatics. Why? They shift faster than anyone can manually — professional or amateur — including matching revs on the downshifts. Lazy? No. I just prefer having a vehicle where performance potential is maximized.

According to Chevrolet, the trucks that seem to be affected are in what’s known as the salt belt states. The salt belt states include New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Maryland, New Hampshire, West Virginia, Washington DC, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Maine, Minnesota, Vermont, North Dakota, and Wisconsin. This is where the roads are salted during winter months.

Competitive Analysis: The key players are highly focusing innovation in production technologies to improve efficiency and shelf life. The best long-term growth opportunities for this sector can be captured by ensuring ongoing process improvements and financial flexibility to invest in the optimal strategies. Company profile section of players such as Aisin, Wanan, Valeo, Nabtesco, AMS, EXEDY, Chenling, Scheffler, TRW, ACDelco, Beck/Arnley, FTE Automotive, ZF, Dorman & Continental AG includes its basic information like legal name, website, headquarters, its market position, historical background and top 5 closest competitors by Market capitalization / revenue along with contact information. Each player/ manufacturer revenue figures, growth rate and gross profit margin is provided in easy to understand tabular format for past 5 years and a separate section on recent development like mergers, acquisition or any new product/service launch etc.

They’ve experienced ups and downs over the years, and today, it faces trouble in terms of retaining its market share from rival brands, despite dabbling in electric vehicle technology. One of the segments it faces even more competition and gets lots of negative feedback from is the pickups. They’re fierce and aggressive looking, but owners and other GM pickup drivers have had much to say about them. From problematic vehicle recalls that involve serious problems in manufacturing, to the interior and other issues, GM pickups aren’t necessarily the best of the best so to speak, at least not today. It may have lost some of its rugged charm based on a host of reasons, like an underwhelming interior, not enough luxury, lack of electrification, among many other issues.

While Kostura admitted that he perhaps should have driven his gas 2018 Colorado ZR2 with 2,700 miles on the clock more slowly, he said the trail seemed fairly mild, particularly in the section where the airbags deployed. He guesses that was only about a six to seven degree incline.

I will add a reason I and many other people find to be equally important. I LOVE driving and take pride in having honed my skills over many decades. I find things like lane departure warnings, blind spot warnings, front and side cameras to be FAR more distracting than helpful. I almost never use cruise control, even on long trips, because I find it makes me lazier in perceiving the traffic flow and what I might need to adjust for in the flow ahead of me – so I surely do not want adaptive cruise control.

The QSK60, with a modular common rail fuel system (MCRS), was introduced to the marine market in 2008. While the engine architecture has not changed, the company has added selective catalytic reduction (SCR) to meet the new emissions requirements without impacting fuel economy, Cummins said.
