Capping A Career In Combustion | High Quality Fuel Injection Nozzle

OMO mandating these drivers assist devices would lower their price by economies of scale. I have not problem with allowing them to be switched off.

The GM rep suggested that I not use the truck off road or on bumpy dirt roads. I brought up the fact that this is a ZR2, arguably GM’s most off-road worthy vehicle, and the rep suggested again that I not use the truck in situations that the truck might interpret as a rollover. 

If there is a truck that will remind you of the classic box style back in the ‘90s then it would be the Syclone. The truck came with low ride height that made it unique as compared to the other pickups. This truck had a great performance; sprinting to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds something that was made possible by its turbocharged 4.3-liter V-6 engine.

5) Finally I understand and sympathize with your dearly held belief that the availability of ‘cheap’ vehicles is a necessity for the working poor, etc. And agree to a degree. However removing all controls is akin to agreeing to the landlords/slumlords who opposed Building Code, Fire Code, etc controls over their boarding houses, flop houses etc. These landlords claimed that these ‘people’ needed a place to live/sleep and that imposing standards would increase the costs. However, is it better to allow the landlords to profit, while people lived in dangerous conditions? Isn’t a societal change and government initiatives such as co-op housing, government backed mortgages, etc a better solution? The post WWII suburban building ‘boom’ in the USA and Canada was largely the result of government action such as the G.I Bill and government backed mortgages. My family and nearly every family in our new subdivision had a 25 year mortgage at a fixed rate of just over 2%, backed by our government. In Canada the vast majority of immigrants dwell in the major urban centres. Each of these centres have relatively safe public transit systems. They also have car sharing organizations, Uber and licensed taxis. Using these in many cases is much less expensive than purchasing, maintaining, insuring, fueling and paying for the parking of a vehicle. I have the figures as that is what my eldest child has done since moving ‘into the city’ despite my offer to transfer to her for ‘free’ one of our vehicles. So the provision of and public funding of a safe, efficient and reliable public transit system in many (if not most) cases replaces the ‘need’ to own a vehicle. And large SUV’s and pick-ups are generally too expensive, too large and totally impractical for these urban dwellers and their families. Therefore when they own/buy they are generally relegated to ‘small/compact’ cars,Corollas, Civic, Elantras, Accents, and Versas being extremely popular. To paraphrase an old car commercial “should safe cars only be available to the rich?”. I believe that all passenger vehicles should be manufactured to relevant safety standards and thankfully to a large degree this is true. None of the vehicles mentioned if maintained would be considered a ‘deathtrap’.

The engine also features an electric water pump to reduce drag on the power system. Overall, the 2019 Silverado with the 2.7-liter represents a 380-pound weight savings over the 2018 model with the V6, and 100 pounds of that is the weight difference between the engines.

“I was climbing uphill, and [the truck] leaned over to the right…Yeah, the airbags went off. OnStar came on, I managed to get the truck started, tucked the airbags back in, and drove it home.”

I think, if you send email to your automaker(s) it will be more effective than writing here. Yea, yellow jacket with side arm, will work the best

Second, FCA allegedly designed its clutch systems composed of an aluminum body with a clipped-on plastic base whereas other manufacturers’ slave cylinders are made of a single, solid cast aluminum component which creates a rigid base.

The first SDLG wheel loader to be sold in Southern Africa – an LG958L – has surpassed 5,000 hours of demanding operations at a portside dry bulk facility in South Africa

1. Transmission. Not just better gears but Pankl gears.2. Exhaust. We love the slip-fit in the mid-pipe that allows us to remove the shock without having to remove the pipe.3. Clutch. Nothing holds a candle to the Brembo clutch.4. Cylinder head. Lowering the head by 15mm means that the cam is lower, cam towers are stronger, valve stems are shorter and weight is reduced by 1 pound. Lowering the center of gravity made the bike feel lighter in the air.5. Sound. The KTM blew a nice 113.0 dB on the 2-meter-max test and 93 dB on the Amateur sound test.6. Weight. The 223-pound 2019 KTM 450SXF is lighter than several 250 four-strokes (and all the other 450s).7. Electric starting. KTM has had electric starting for 20 years.8. Radiators. The radiators are 12mm lower and the chassis is narrower at the fuel tank.9. Air filter. Until you see a KTM air filter, you can’t appreciate how cool it is.
