Family owned since ’61 Austin-Healey 3000 | Clutch Master Cylinder

Matt’s video also helped me get in touch with another ZR2 owner in California, who wanted to remain anonymous out of concern that this story could in some way affect the claim he’s filing with GM. That’s his truck above.

I for sure know that I’m not the best driver. Maybe you are. Maybe you’re God’s gift to the driving community, an unholy creation resulting from a one night stand of gene splicing from Mario Andretti, Dale Earnhardt, and Jack Baruth. But I don’t know your driving skills from Adam. And what about that jerk tailgating you 2 feet off your bumper?

The retro design of this truck was a hit back in the early 2000s. During this period, vehicles that featured classic designs would automatically succeed. For this reason Chevrolet brought in a retro-styled truck having a sporty feel and retractable hard top. With this design Chevrolet thought the truck would feature as a lifestyle vehicle that most people wanted however, they were more interested in retro vibe and the speed. The performance of this car wasn’t that amazing, but could sprint to 60 mph in six seconds. Despite having relatively slow speed, the truck’s design, big wheel and unique silhouette made it peculiar and people loved it. However, the truck has a price tag of $45,000 making it unaffordable. This isn’t a real truck either – it can’t haul big loads since the cabin and bed is too small and cramped.

This application, titled “electric slave cylinder for manually shifted vehicles,” shows how clutch-by-wire could be implemented to operate a manual transmission without having to run hydraulic lines.

It helps a lot when the application of new tech is done well, because with new tech that sometimes isn’t the case.

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

The tech Chevy revealed this week was all under the hood. The 2.7-liter turbo engine is a DOHC 16-valve direct-injection design developed specifically for the truck market that yields 310 horsepower and 348 pound-feet of torque. To reach those numbers, the new engine uses a dual-volute turbocharger for instant throttle response. While the dual volute unit is similar to a twin-scroll, there are significant design differences, including routing the airflow through the two scroll shapes into opposite sides of the turbine wheel to avoid interference.

Because the mirror doesn’t show you what’s in your blind spo. . Hence the name…blind spot.

But really, the problem is that few normal motorists (read: not enthusiasts) can put down their mobile device and drive anymore. You really notice how bad it is when you ride mass transit and actually can look into other vehicles. Everyone has their device in their lap, no one is paying attention.

The same deactivation technology is present on the optional 6.2-liter V8. Take note that the dynamic fuel management system is present because you’ll never notice it in operation. You’ll forget it exists five minutes after you get in the Silverado.

I really do wonder if some of the people calling us skeptics “Luddites” in a knee jerk fashion have much experience with these systems they’re advocating for. If I try one of these systems that works great, I’ll say so and maybe I’ll change my mind. Currently however, it feels like we’re in the equivalent of motorized seat belts when it comes to these systems. Good intentions, but they are intrusive (downright dangerous in some cases).

"A "low brake fluid" warning appeared in the center of the instrument cluster. Shortly thereafter, the brake pedal went all the way to the floor when I needed to slow down to turn at an intersection. The resolution was to replace the master cylinder and the brake booster. This is a known issue by Ford, yet there has been no recall for the 2015 F-150 trucks with this problem.
