GE Signs US$300M Services Deal For 11 Petrobras Power Plants in Brazil | Fuel Injection/Nozzle

Finn, who lives near the Sequoia National Forest in California, was out one Saturday in April exploring some dirt roads near his house, planning to go camping. He told me over the phone what the road conditions were like. “I was in four-wheel drive low, I was in off-road mode, I was not going fast, and I was driving on a two-track road that had deep ruts, he said. “It had you moving back and forth, but slow going.”

2. The ride-by-wire throttle on the 2019 Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE has a mode for every situation. Owners will be able to explore six modes— Road, Sport, Off-Road, Off-Road Pro, Rain, and a custom Rider mode. The five preset modes adjust the throttle mapping, ABS, and traction control intrusion, depending on the given mode. Off-Road mode disables ABS in the rear, and uses a trail-specific TC level. Off-Road Pro disables all aids. The Rider mode allows you to run any throttle map and any level of rider aids, including off.

“Only the Colorado managed to sucker-punch us in the head by spontaneously deploying the side curtain airbags while driving on a groomed fire road at breakneck speeds ranging from five to seven miles an hour,” the KBB host says in the video, before then opining that this was likely “a freak incident.”

Also that nice dark winding road usually had trees along the sides and it is amazing how strong a 6 inch tree trunk is.”

The MTA v3 lineup — MTA 524, 627 and 628 — currently covers the entire Cat 3500 engine range of 1500 to 2525 kW and provides the benefits of large savings in maintenance costs, lower maintenance and service risks and simple firefighting installation, Caterpillar said.

The worldwide market for Diesel Engines for Non-Automotive Applications Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of roughly xx% over the next five years, will reach xx million US$ in 2023, from xx million US$ in 2018.

2) The availability of safe basic transportation is also a societal good. When people are severely injured in a vehicle collision, they often become for lack of a better term ‘burdens on the state’. Medical care, housing, personal care, rehab/physio, and perhaps even the care of their children/families. Reducing the number of people on LTD/etc reduced societal costs. So actually the opposite of what you claim, regarding cost. And an economic/utilitarian refutation of your Mahindra statement.

In their newly constructed Innovation Center, Deutz also has a prototype hydrogen powered engine based on the Deutz TCD 7.8 liter engine. The hydrogen powered version is modified with a hydrogen fuel injection system, a different cylinder head and ignition system and customized piston and ring package. Tests on this engine have generated up to about 240 horsepower (180 kW), but to be competitive with the diesel fuel version Deutz would like to see it create at least 335 horsepower (250 kW), says Dr. Marcus Müller, senior vice president, product development and technology.

(5) Suzuki RM-Z450. These are the same forks and valving as last year; however, they don’t ride as low in the stroke and feel plusher. How? The rear shock spring is lighter—going from a 54.0 N/m in 2018 to a 52.0 N/m spring rate in 2019. This allowed the rear to drop down and take weight off the forks to balance out the chassis.  

Same goes for lane assist and blind spot monitoring. Most of these systems require you to look away from the road to see the alert, so what good is that? Blind spot monitoring especially, since it usually requires you to look at the mirror. So if you’re already looking at the mirror to see the little light, why not just use the damn mirror in the first place?

It’s also worth noting that the Chevrolet Colorado isn’t the only vehicle that has had such an issue. Nissan truck owners have been complaining about airbags deploying off-road for years (here’s a video showing it happen on an Xterra).

As you can tell, a number of big, high-dollar items have been replaced on this Jeep over the years. From steering boxes to power steering pumps to exhaust manifolds, this XJ has been an expensive vehicle to maintain. But hopefully, this means these big-ticket items will last for many years to come.
