Cummins Launches First IMO 3 Engine | Fuel Injection/Nozzle

My wife drives a sedan, I own or have owned several SUVs and trucks, 1990s vintage ones, some of which didn’t even have airbags. I obviously am not prioritizing the safety aspect in my own vehicle buying decisions, I like BOF trucks and SUVs for other reasons.

The good news is that either way, you win. Elsewhere in this story we’ve listed the ratios of both the TH350 and the 700R4/4L60E. While the 3.06:1 First-gear ratio would appear to be an advantage over the TH350’s 2.52:1, the downside with the deeper First is the major rpm drop in the 1-2 and 2-3 gear changes that the 700R4/4L60 force upon you. At part throttle, this is only a minor issue since converter slippage absorbs most of the difference.

Some of the Silverado’s old models also came with issues of poor engine design that made the truck hemorrhage oil and guzzle fuel.

While most countries are moving towards stricter standards on vehicle carbon emissions, the US could backtrack on its promises. President Donald Trump has announced that pollution limits due to be phased in between 2022 and 2025 and signed into law by his predecessor, Barack Obama, are to be watered down.

then learn how to adjust your mirrors properly. You sure don’t need to be admiring your rear quarter panel.

The receipt also shows complaints about the Jeep occasionally grinding into reverse. This is fairly standard on AX-15 manual transmissions. Two years later, in 1994, it appears that the differentials and the transfer case had their oil changed again, and the transmission got some fresh fluid, too:

well we’ll, I just bought a Colorado zr2 from Conelle chevy. I only have 2000 miles on my brand new truck and my roof airbag curtans have deployed on me. I was just on a fire trail. O need for 4 wheel drive I was In 2 wheel. My roof Air Bags went off. So I believe this isn’t as rare as GM wants people to think. My car is at the dealer right now I believe there will try to give me some bullsh*** that my roll bar and light bar is the reason and try to reject fixing it but we shall see. Because my bags went off in the day time so all my light switches were off. There’s no way a open circuit can effect the airbag module. That would be like saying jumping your battery would make them deploy. Come on this isn’t just coincidence guys. They have a serious problem GM needs to own it and take care of it before a class action lawsuit is set in motion.

For the enthusiasts, the drive is part of the fun of the journey. For the average person not into cars (75%?), the drive is the drudgery of the journey. Might as well check the interwebs, the car will beep if something is wrong.

In the end, Nissan started a service campaign for 2004 to 2014 Titans, 2005 to 2014 Frontiers and 2005 to 2014 Xterras to have their Airbag Contol Units recalibrated free of charge, and refunds given to people who had to replace their airbags because of unintended deployment. The company describes the issue and the fix on its service website:

I would argue there is likely a causal correlation between an interest in a car blog and and interest and understanding of driving.

Equipped with a forward camera/sensor suite that assisted in rain-sensing wipers and forward collision warnings, my windshield replacement, cost $1,000. Not for the glass but for the “alignment and reprogramming” of the forward camera/sensors.

Flush the clutch line by pumping clean brake fluid into it by using a clean oil can and flexible hose. Now install the master and slave cylinder but do not over tighten the fittings. Fill the reservoir with new brake fluid.
